Basically a big Ferris wheel with large office pods on it.
Power supplied by slip rings.
Wireless internet.
A good view, some of the time.
Toilets that only flush half the time.
Get one over your competitors, roughly once per turn.
(a bit similar to Cubicle Elevator, except for where it's not
similar)

Bottom quarter (or half) submerged to get this effect. [doctorremulac3, Sep 22 2010]

What about the Accounts department ? If you take them up into the sunlight, they turn to dust ... |
|
| |
you'd have to be pretty prompt in the mornings, otherwise you'd be very late! |

Make'em waterproof so that part of your working-day could be subaqua

This would be great for a law office only with open windows and partially submerged. (see link) |
|

...just swimming in work...up to my neck in it... |

//Toilets that only flush half the time.//....if there
are only two pods/offices. |
|
| |
A little geometry problem here. Say there are X
pods
on the FW Office: |
|
| |
Toilets that flush 1/X of the time. |
|
| |
And nothing says this thing has to rotate at a
continuous rate. Lots of price/rent options--too
numerous to list--open up with a variable speed. |
|
| |
This might require a bit more real estate...but it
could also rotate on its radial axis (like spinning a flat
lollipop on its stick). Variable panoramic views. More
nausea. |
|
| |
A little more speed and everything inside the "offices" will be plastered firmly against the walls. |
|
| |
Sweet. You'd know right where everything was. |
|
| |
At least until the central hub fails. |
|
| |
// Toilets that flush 1/X of the time. // |
|
| |
I think the principle here is that the toilet will only
flush while the pod is above the centre of rotation,
so the water can flow downhill. |
|
| |
Airplane toilets flush more often than when they are on the ground. I'm sure we could fix up something this size with a chemical holding tank or two. |
|
| |
After I barfed I could get down to business, or wait,
better yet, a perpetual sick day off. I'd get sent home
everyday, after my morning yak.!!!+++++ |
|
| |
Hmm. If each pod has/is a toilet, couldn't you just
speed the rotation enough to fling the 'product'
outward and away from the penthouse? |
|

Don't be silly, [Boomer]. Then they'd have to call it
The London Browneye. |
