A vertical oriented wind turbine must be fixed on a rotable mount. Otherwise it cannot use well the wind. And by such a mount, its blades would destroy a zip line running from its pinnacle to the ground.
Interestingly the first transmission aerial system of Eiffel Tower was similiar to the proposed zip line

Hideous!!! But I don't know if objectively or is it that just we are not used to it, maybe if it always were that way, we found it beautiful. Anyway, I thought immediately of the top of the Ivory Tower, from the Neverending Story movie

Glad this did not actually happen with the Eiffel Tower, but I do hope that an Eiffel Tower replica with this design is built in another city like Djibouti City since Djibouti is hoping to become the next Dubai and Djibouti was once a French colony. The Eiffel Tower design with a hooverdisc would be an iconic landmark for Djibouti City, which currently has no recognizable landmarks.

Lol, was thinking the same thing when I saw the pics! I'm like all we need is to name the Princess and we're all set!
Even from an architectural concept point of view, this is awful. It doesn't look like you can occupy the edge of the extensions meaning this thing would fuck over your views down from observation deck. Fail all around.
Hey!!!
I've just found this new project that consist on a temporary extension of the Eiffel Tower's highest level. The Serero Architects design uses a carbon fibre and Kevlar composite to double the amount of space at the top of the tower.
My opinion: PLEASE, DON'T!!!!
I'm dying because I want to go to Paris, and it's just because the Eiffel Tower... and that thing... well...
Even if the Architects say that is temporary, we have to remember that the Eiffel Tower itself was a temporary structure, and after one century we still have it...
Even if it was a temporary extension, I think the Eiffel Tower should always be as it was built originally. This is a symbol of France which is known worldwide, and no one should change it. Imagine if it was decided to modify the Statue of Liberty... I'm pretty sure a lot of people wouldn't agree!
