As a showcase of Science & Technology the tower is an instrument for observation using the principle of the periscope. Is nesting two concave mirrors set parallel to each other and via reflection are erecting images. Top one is displaying events from the ground level for the pedestrians and drivers as they pass along the Jennens Road. Also can tilt and having the top face covered by photovoltaic material collects the solar power. Square base of the tower is set on the rail hence additionally via daily rotation is able to track the best angles for the Sun rays. The bottom platform is mirrored to both sides and displays free life broadcast of the Birmingham Skyline reflected from the top for the entering visitors to the Millennium Point at the ground level.
By night the tower is rotating and trucking the Moon erecting the lunar landscape.
