The shape is one often seen in descriptions of Tesla's Wardenclyffe
plant. Sort of a large mushroom with hemispherical caps covering the
surface. Looks impressive but can't imagine the utility of the bumps.
Possibly a toroid, or other shape, made with several hemispherical
(or less than hemispherical) caps joined.
It´s a common technique for the construction of large high-voltage
terminals.
