Iconic Building for Clacton Town Centre in response to Area Action Plan Preferred Options Document for Consultation January 2010

My concept is to design a whole paradigm for the World.  A Documentary Film 
to improve the stability of the Earth’s climate over 1,000 years for World Audiences would attract tourists to Clacton-on-Sea .   It follows that a Science Fiction film should also be made. ...... .

I conceived the Opal Lands Waterway while opal mining in dry outback Australia in the 1970s.   In the 1990s I saw a GE Wind Turbine Exhibition at Wick Lodge, Jaywick, Essex; I started to design wind turbines for urban areas and finished up by applying for a Wind Turbine Housing patent.   Briefly, a building has three arms containing people, products and all other manner of things; the three arms serve as wind deflectors to amplify the wind force at the centre of the building.  One or more Vertical Axis Wind Turbines are used to generate electricity; large doors are closed in very high winds.  

The concept is to make the building attractive so that electricity is produced on site to supersede high voltage power lines.    When surplus electricity is produced it is put into the Grid and also used to pump water to top floor tanks for hydro electricity.  As the water is moved about, it operates water features.  The building may be 3 to 10 stories high.

Deepening Flooding Rivers and Building Beaches                                                                  Site Map http://permatricity.com/Permatricity_Site_Map.html
The recent English floods were expected.   Many more floods will follow until the polar ice returns to its pre-climate change melting rate.  Insurance premiums for all of us will rise.

The rivers should be widened to shift the water faster - but in many places there is too much real estate on the river banks.  So the rivers must be deepened.   What a horrendous cost! 

Places like Hull below sea level; will be raised with earth from new canals - as per the Bangladesh.idea,


THE PLAN

We dredge the rivers to the necessary depth and use the dredgings to make mounds close to the rivers. The mounds will last 1000 years. On the mounds we build very attractive residential and business Wind Management Structures above the flood levels  We instal on work boats Wind Management Structures to provide the energy for dredging etc..

The money earned from all the electricity generation and rents will pay for the dredging and provide a profit. 

Protecting Coastlines against High Tide combined with Storm Surge

Happisborough, England, is falling into the sea.  

The white is the surf, the black is the wrecked wooden coastal defences.  The cream is the sand, then we have the cliff that is dropping real estate into the sea.  

Solution: We put my Wind Management Structures - British Patent Application No 0714883.6 - in the sea.  The bases of the 3 Wind Deflectors will be big rocks that are also groynes and artificial reefs.  The rocks will be the height of the highest water level in a high-tide/storm surge combination. 



Note how Clacton-on-sea is building up its beaches.with V shape rock breakwaters

Solution:
To pay for the rocks in big installations they are used as the foundations for Wind Management Structures - and then money is earned from electricity production and rental of business and living space within the walls of the deflectors.    

The vertical axis Wind Turbines generate electricity for profit.  The electricity production pays for the whole installation, the rocks build up the sand as rocks have done at Martello Beach, Clacton, and are also an artificial fish breeding reef for the public to enjoy with rod and line and by scuba diving. 



NOVELTY -  New Extreme Sport  for seaside resorts???.  
There are many designs of vertical axis wind turbines, one of my designs offers a new
sport, Wind Turbine Riding.  The turbine is a big wire cage with wind catching cups
and sails attached to the outside of the cage.  Players stop the turbine with a brake
and enter the cage from the Wind Deflector that extends to the beach.  Once inside
the players release the brake and play indoor football, volley ball, basket ball or
other suitable games.  Skateboarding and dancing are more of many options.  . 
 
The centrifugal force and varying wind speeds add a new dimension to all
activities.
