And at 11:45, there is an indication that the tower would be pressurized to 100 atmospheres. I don’t think this could work with Tensairity™ structures whose inflation pressure (with continuous adjustment by fan) is very low, barely above atmospheric pressure if I remember correctly. But for a smaller version of the tower, why not?
At 14:42, “an active tower that would lean under the force of the wind”, see the graph with deformations, as well as Figures 4A, 4B, and 4C of the patent below.
I would like to know how flywheels, extreme pressures, helium or hydrogen inflation, are managed. There are some indications in the patents, for example this one, mentioning a gyroscopic wheel 660 (Fig. 3B) as a flywheel:
