The speed of elevators isn’t limited by how fast we can move a heavy metal box anymore. It’s limited by the people who have to ride the thing. If you make elevators faster, the people inside will start to get sick and disoriented.

Also this is ridiculously low, wind pressure is more like 50 to 100 daN/m2 on tall buildings, that would be 100 to 200lb/m2

Skyscrapers should have floors dedicated to wind turbines to generate energy from the wind force and to make the buildings more aerodynamic.
Check out the 'Bahrain World Trade Centre'. It has 3 turbines between it's 2 towers :)
That would technically put more of a wind load on the building. Also wind generators vibrate loudly and would shake the building
Actually would make it LESS aerodynamic.
ted ed makes really good videos
Gotta give more respect to civil engineers who make these structures stand can stand and not just the architects who design the aesthetics
