A sphere that slowly rotates along the horizontal axis (one revolution every 5 minutes), and has cylindrical rooms along both sides of a hallway. The furniture will be mounted on rollers to always stay on what is currently the floor, and the hallway is a static band connecting the two hemispheres. Due to the rotation, there would be some periods of reduced gravity, and some of increased gravity. Would this be viable, and if not, why?

When I become an architect, this will be the house I make for myself if I ever get the time and/or money. Great publicity.

"Oh hey I need a building. Know a good architect?"
"Yeah, try that [Name], he's pretty good."
"How good is he?"
"He built that rotating spherical house, and trusted it enough to live in."

Plus it's a 48 foot tall sphere, so you're going to notice it.

Hmmm, doesn't sound to dangerous but probably annoying that the couch will move every minute or so. (I try to sit on couch but it moves, so I bruise my butt)

Be sure that the device making the house turn has a backup, and is long lasting.
Make sure to periodically check and replace parts if necessary

@boeing

A rotating house? Dude, we are gonna be geniuses. Once you build that anyway. I'll need some way to work it into the houses wires and all that. I don't think a steam engine will work. My idea was that you could rig a steam engine in your basement by the furnace. You would put a few pipes to go into the steam engine. If the furnace is on, some of the hot air will pass through the pipes, thus, creating steam in the engine. In the winter, you run the furnace a lot. Assuming the steam engine has stored enough hot air to create steam, it could power your electricity, given that it is hooked into your electric panel. Thus, your house would have heat (produced by steam) still coming through the vents if a blizzard knocks out your power. HOWEVER, you would need to go into your basement and unplug the cork you put to store enough hot air to power your house. any flaws? Possible combustion?

it rotates about 15 feet every minute which isnt fast enough to get too dizzy

plus as long as you are sitting and/or lying down you wont even notice it

Dangerous, if you were asleep and something were to happen (like the listed above) You'd be unconscious and couldn't back away or save yourself.

I don't see how unconsciousness would be deadly in this house. You'd tumble around on the ground, but that wouldn't be deadly.

You could get injured. and you wouldn't be able to do something like put your hand out so you wouldn't fall.

I think you should have the furniture on tracks. Also, you should have a flat area INSIDE of the sphere.

They only are used to charge the back up generator. The rest comes from a regular power plant.

Sure wiring in the house itself would be complicated, but far from impossible. Hire an expert electrician to do the wiring, and that would be that. The rooms aren't very large anyways, making it simpler.

@everyone who says the rolling is dangerous.

Simple. Just make the wheels removeable, and remove them before you go to sleep.
