the specification discloses a rotating turbine tower . the tower rotates to maintain the turbine facing into the wind . this allows structure optimization . the tower structure is comprised of a leading edge and a trailing edge , with joining panels between the edge structures . the tower edges are the main structural components of the tower . the separation of the edges tapers to follow the bending moment on the tower , reducing the need to taper material thickness . the tapering shape of the tower structure matches the primary edgewise moment distribution . the tower can be assembled on site from components , thereby facilitating transportation to the tower site . the material properties and shape can be selected based upon the tower maintaining a near constant orientation with the wind . this can save weight and costs . the tower architecture can be of differing shapes such as a triangle or a structure tapering at each end .
