Vertical Production Facilities

Production facilities are the key for the modern societies. As the local manufacturing is trending, I propose sustainable vertical production facilities. The goal is to harvest the wind energy better by building the vertical wind turbines on the facility itself. Additionally, enhance the air logistics to minimize the dependency on the ground infrastructures.

The facilities would be built as twin towers. Vertical wind turbines would be mounted on the suspension bridge formed between the two towers. The roof of the towers will double as the aerial logistic gates of the facility. Electrically operating drones will carry the raw materials to the facility and take away the manufactured goods. In the meanwhile, they will charge themselves from the sustainable electric supply. The facility will have dual elevator system, one carrying the raw materials and the other finished goods, that counterbalances each other to minimize the power consumption. The vertical wind turbines will have slightly different geometries to alter their sound signatures to minimize the accumulation of noise.

Finally, the unified vertical construction reduces the land requirement which is an important factor for the developed societies. Horizontal factories coupled with widely separated horizontal wind turbines, eat up a lot of valuable land space. Additionally, generating the electricity where it is used, reduces the transmission losses and the infrastructure cost.
