Richard Simmon's Exploding Steamer.

Alex

Here's Richard Simmons peddling his new "steamer with a brain" on David Letterman on CBS. Guess they should've QC'd the piece before it went on national TV!

To me, Simmons seems like he's on coke or something similar. Or maybe he has some neurological disorder? I've no idea really but he doesn't seem to be all "there". Wtf am I talking about here,this is Richard Simmons ffs! Nevermind, you crazy bastard you.

I saw somewhere on TV that Simmons actually call and encourage extremely overweight people to go on diets, exercise, and improve their lives. Sometimes, he would call them daily to give them encouragements.

Simmons never seem to publicize this (the show was about the people who lost weight and credited Simmons for help), so kudos to him.

I agree with everything Nadia said. But, still made me laugh out loud, FWIW. I don't know why Simmons even agrees to appear. Guess he wants to sell some steamers; the poor wash-up. As he ages, he just looks sillier and sillier.

interesting idea, good luck actually making it work. My guess is you'd have to have the kitchen and bathrooms on the main concrete core. The other rooms could rotate around them. I just don't know how you'd get water to work otherwise.

I could see it *maybe* with some creative use of PEX. But only maybe.

I'm still confused about power generation. How can the power it takes to rotate a floor not offset any gains made by the rotation?

how will they be powered?

"The towers are expected to generate enough electricity for themselves and other nearby buildings from solar panels and up to 79 wind turbines fitted horizontally between each floor."

it says it right there in the page.

there's a better video on the BBC news website that explains it better

The architect claims a degree from an institution that does not exist and his publicist had made some very bizarre and non sequitar responses to such claims. This ain't gonna happen unless George Jetson is elected in November.

"...how will plumbing and other utilities be provided to apartments?"

Electricity would be really easy to control to the point that it shouldn't even be an issue in anyones mind. Anyone who has tinkered with it before will know that "plugs" and "wires" aren't the only things one can use to control it's flow.

Plumbing, on the other hand, I have no clue how that would work.
