It was quite challenging for the scientists to create that part of Burj Khalifa. Four thousand tons of steel was required at that time. The weight of the antenna on it is 350 tons. People can go upto 154 floors. 155 to maximum 163 floors are not suitable for human habitation.
Because the upper part can swing due to wind speed. This is the biggest engineering marvel of Burj Khalifa. This technology protects the lower floor when the wind blows. Burj Khalifa’s top spire is made of steel.
This spire sways when the wind blows. It is designed in such a way that the spire can swing up to a maximum of 6 feet. It protects the entire city of Dubai from lightning strikes. It has a sensor inside that attracts lightning to itself.
And through this sphere the million voltage current reaches the ground. This is how it protects Dubai from lightning strikes. Burj Khalifa’s lightning rod protects other buildings in Dubai from lightning strikes.
The whole building has a large transparent work. These glasses are not like other ordinary glasses. They act as heat insulators. Due to this technology, extreme temperature outside cannot penetrate inside. Such work also works as a solar panel.
Thus it can generate a good amount of electricity. This work not only protects everyone inside from the heat of the sun. The temperature at the top of the Burj Khalifa is only 6 degrees Celsius. In this case it can act as a cold insulator. Burj Khalifa is a unique example of architecture.
