Impossible turbine through concrete
Spinning through the support.
In a vast turbine hall, the blades of a giant steel turbine run straight through a concrete pillar and come out the other side unharmed. The pillar is holding the roof up regardless.
Field noteA spinning blade and a pillar cannot share one place. Here the blades run through the concrete unharmed.
