Rotating Solar Torch of A House

I’ve seen this home around forever, but don’t think I’ve blogged it here. It’s really cool though; worth a post for sure.

Now, can you guess what it does, without reading further? Of course, if you’ve seen this you’d know, so I’m talking to the folks who’ve missed this sweet house.

Did you guess?

It rotates! Plus it’s green.

DOPE UPDATE: So, I just realized that one, I said, “Hey guess what this house does?” Then I realized that my title, “Rotating Solar Torch of A House” may have given that away (duh). Lordy. Still it’s too funny to edit. I’ll leave it all.

The solar-collecting array on top actually follows the sun, thus maximizing solar capture. Pretty slick. Some bloggers have noted that it’s a little extreme. I sort of like it though. I love how it looks like a torch you could hold.

Look at this long props list: Gizmodo via Azure Magazine via Tree Hugger via Sci Fi Tech (good stuff) You can visit any of these sites to see many more pictures of this see-though, moving, solar home.
