@BeingTheHunt 2 года назад

The problem with the Magnolia oil platform is not the word "height", it's the word "structure". The oil rig floats and the cables keep it tethered in place. It's the same principle as an anchored ship or a tethered balloon. With that in mind, according to Wikipedia the Tethered Aerostat Radar System can rise up to an altitude of 15,000 feet (4,600 m) while tethered to the Earth making it by your logic, the tallest 'structure' I could find.

@lokalnyork 2 года назад

I'm glad You included man-made structures, not only buildings. I saw Polish Radio Tower as kid, absolutely massive. It was build to exact height (and not higher or lower) of half length of 227 khz radio wave. I don't know technicalities, but apparently it helped with getting good signal for that frequency.

@adamzieba8364 Год назад

Radio technicians call this type of antenna a "half-wave mast radiator". It resonates electromagnetically with the transmitted frequency corresponding to a wavelength equal to twice the height of the antenna. A half-wave mast radiator is significantly more effective than a quarter-wave mast radiator which is another type of antenna often used in AM broadcasting.

@_R0h_ Год назад

I don’t know that much about radio waves or it might be just dumb. But why do they make the towers a quarter or a half of the radio waves and not the whole length of the wave?

@kravdraa7 2 года назад

The first real issue is the definition of the word 'surface'. I imagine most people consider the ground that we stand on as a surface and sea level as the base point. Again, no one would expect any land above sea level to be added to the 'man-made' structure height, but most would think of anything in the ocean as being 'under' the surface and hence not qualify. Furthermore, the category is usually qualified as 'free-standing'. Being held up by water immediately disqualifies the constructions mentioned.

Considering how orbital gravity works this is only possible if the building either never touches the ground or that the debris used as an orbital anchor is able to increase in size and distance from the earth as the building is constructed. Regardless a floating city is possible just with more effort than anything man has ever done, to include the moon landing.

@sheogorathdaedricprinceofm320 2 года назад

The tower hanging from a meteor/asteroid isn't possible unless it doesn't hang into the atmosphere, you have to be travelling incredibly fast to stay in orbit and anything that gets in your way will slow you down and slowly point your prograde below the horizon. The air resistance would cause the tower to swing back and cause the object that it is hanging from to pull downwards and slow down rapidly, the entire structure would fall to Earth before it could even be finished. Also, the tower would rip itself to pieces due to air resistance as the speed it would need to be travelling to remain in orbit would cause massive stress on the structure, and even if the structure was designed to take this level of stress it would melt or be incinerated due to air friction.

I mean at this point someone has to anchor a large floating foundation for a Skyscraper to the ocean floor. As Sea levels rise, the structure gains in height. Up to at maximum +69 Meters. And once we get a space elevator its basicaly over, just extend a cable beyond the asteroid being held in place by the tether for even longer reach "Upwards" for some form of extremely powerful catapult thingy.

FREE-STANDING structure but not tower. The Warsaw mast was taller and the same is true for the KVLY-TV mast in North Dakota which was built in 1963. I think that the difference is that they are supported by steel wires anchored in the ground and the CN tower is completely free-standing.

1) The limit to how far down we can build in the ocean is pressure. Otherwise it is only as far down as the lowest we can go. 2) The limit to how high we can build is structure strength and variable points, which would make the structure not move at the same speed as the earth causing it to warp/bend. Other than that, we can build pretty high.
