Super Sky Tram

Image
                        For over 40 years the Big Red Box at Jackson Hole, Wyoming, carried skiers, hikers, paragliders, and sightseers up to the 3,400-meter summit of Rendezvous Mountain.         But nothing lasts forever, so when cable inspector Norm Duke found evidence of stress fractures inside the aging steel track cables, there was no choice but to tear down and replace Jackson's iconic aerial tram. At a cost of $31 million , this 2-year mega-construction project is a top-to-bottom, state-of-the-art replacement.        It will operate in 120-kph winds and 25-below zero temperatures, all with the quiet precision of a giant Swiss watch. Construction crews battled a record-breaking snowfall, zero visibility, high winds, and impassable mud-slick mountain roads to build its five towers and two terminals, and string more than ten miles of heavy steel cable.        Filmed over a 2-year period , from Swiss factories to the mountains and towns of western Wyoming, Cable to t

China's Smart Tower

Image
                              The Pearl River Tower is one of the first of a new generation of super smart buildings. It will use less than half the energy of a conventional skyscraper and will harvest the forces of nature to make energy of its own. With a curved facade that faces directly into the wind, the Pearl River Tower in China's Guangzhou City is shaped for performance. With a design specific to its environment, the Pearl River Tower utilizes a multitude of energy efficient technologies in one single structure, and symbolizes the future for super-tall building design.     Here in this video have info all about Smart Tower. Plz, Watch it.
