Nuvens com controlo remoto


E se fosse criada uma tecnologia controlada à distância para fazer sombra sobre um estádio de futebol, para evitar que as temperaturas sejam tão elevadas? Desde que haja dinheiro...

E se a necessidade se situar no Qatar, dinheiro é algo que não falta.

Dr Saud Abdul Ghani, head of the Mechanical and Industrial Engineering at Qatar University, unveiled a design and construction of an artificial cloud to shade and cool the open playgrounds to be used in the 2022 World Cup in Doha. He told a local Arabic daily that the project will be executed in collaboration with Qatar Science and Technology Park.

He said the artificial cloud will move by remote control, made of 100 percent light carbonic materials, fuelled by four solar-powered engines and it will fly high to protect direct and indirect sun rays to control temperatures at the open playgrounds.

He said the initial model of the cloud cost $500,000 but the cost will decrease upon launching the commercial models which could also be used at beaches, car parking by using the mobile phone. The Peninsula
