Pushbutton Balcony
Pushbutton Balcony
I doubt very much that this costs more, or is more difficult, than having a balcony added to an existing building. It takes less time to deploy than installing a balcony, too... small price to pay. (Are Americans so unwilling to wait for anything that they can't wait one minute - less, in fact - for it to deploy?) Plus you need planning permission for a balcony addition, I would imagine, and this might be easier to get permission for.
A drawback might be drainage, and the fact that when you withdraw it, any water on the floor would end up in your room.
What are you even thinking??? This is not just a "window" they put into the hole in a building. This has to be engineered into the building prior to construction. Think about the loads involved.
And yes, fucking balconies are super cheap and quick when you are building a new building compared to installing these monstrosities. The only benefit I can see is architectural photos of the building when all the windows are close, or perhaps when some are open.
Besides, I can't think of too many places where anyone would leave the room open air without even a screen. Maybe they don't have insects in europe. Imagine when the motors on these thing break in 5-10 years.

Free Energy Via Magnet Motor?
Gee einstein, what do you think? Did the laws of physics just get totally thrown out the window???
Yes, magnetics make low friction moving parts, but nothing changes the fact that these "free energy" crapola are not lifting a 300lb weight, ie. doing WORK.
Japanese Vagina Creature
Pushbutton Balcony
Note: when in balcony mode, bugs, birds and everything.. it's open air. Also, all your A/C just went out the window... When in window mode you can't open it for any fresh air. Also you cannot clean the windows except with exterior rope and basket. Finally, if you left that open during the rain storm.. OMG.. gallons of water flooding the place.
