A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
A rotary platform includes a rotating top plate rotatable about axis and a stationary base plate fixed in relation to the axis. A plurality of bearing elements is disposed in a cavity defined, at least in part, by the base plate and the top plate. The top plate is supported by the plurality of bearing elements, which are rotatable in any direction and about any axis. The top plate is flexible and flexes independently of the base plate. Flexing of the top plate allows the top plate to maximize contact with as many of the bearing elements as possible to improve the load carrying capacity of rotary platform.
