Inventor unveils rotating house that follows the sun

An inventor has designed a three-storey house on wheels that can revolve to follow the sun during the day.

The £500,000 environmentally-friendly home will feature solar panels and use tyres and railway tracks to rotate.

Robin Hamilton will add wind turbines and also use recyclable materials to build the home on a former quarry near Snelton, Ashbourne.



He said the rotation was not a gimmick and would help create more energy than the 700-tonne home will use.

Mr Hamilton, who has been given planning permission for the home, said the only problem he could envisage would be the fact that a revolving building might confuse his cats when they tried to get in.
