Phaedrus

I would argue that the Earth turns much too slowly to make such rotation uncomfortable, except for the fact that the front door will be in a different place in the morning compared to the evening. The real dark side is the amount of energy that would get spent on the rotation, and trying to run flexible plumbing that won’t leak.

Phaedrus, I was wondering the same thing - how much energy is spent on rotating the home in comparison to the amount of energy the solar panels absorb?

Actually, if you used static electricy in the motor/engine that allows the dome to spin you could, have it spin without a cost to you, because it would generate it’s own energy. Just like the Solar Panels.
