Thanks to Jean Yves Hervouet for this latest update. Rudolf Wehrung has proposed building a giant (117 meter) Costa Wheel at the former site of the World Trade Center in New York. The wheel would power a laser beam that shines up into the sky each night.

I think it is Rudolf Wehrung on the left and and Aldo Costa on the right. Here you can see the mechanism up close.
Here you can see how the mechanisms are placed on the rim of the wheel.
