The Brilliant Engineering Behind Burj Khalifa | Richard Hammond's Big

That ‘confusing the wind’ trick is absolutely a work of genius. Like, that’s Brunel level stuff, right there. Top marks, baldy.

[@mbb2725]

I like how the analogy of confusing the wind to that of the swing was portrayed. Makes it easier to understand.

[@f_2019]

One of the best buildings you can go see... when next to it, its breathtaking

I wonder if they could have used The Golden Angle (137.5... degrees). That way it wouldn't look like a bunch of arbitrary balconies, yet it still could confuse the wind. The Golden Angle could also maximize light for the balconies.

The Prophet of Islam predicted 1400 years ago that the Bedouins of the desert would compete in building tall structures and this would be a sign of the end times. Let that sink in, 1400 years ago when the Bedouins had nothing and today we need engineers to explain to us how it was done.

"...the wind can work with that natural frequency to actually increase the rate at which I'm swinging." No, it increases the amplitude of the swinging, not the rate.

Dubai doesn’t lie on a fault line, so the risk of earthquakes is extremely low

@@cpsoud For argument sake, let's say it did. Would it be able to withstand an earthquake?

@@MrDegradingChimp Yes, because it is made up of 27 different compartments, all individually moving. Therefore the force cannot settle upon the building and gets unevenly spread across its height.
