A cloud to $ 500 000

It's hot, hot summer trrrrrrrrès Qatar. The temperature can reach 50 ° C: no obvious chasing a ball. Yet in Doha will host the World 2022. To refresh its soccer stadiums and save and spectators, the emirate plans to develop an artificial cloud remote. This lightweight carbon structure filled with helium will fly at altitudes to protect the field of direct and indirect rays of the sun.

It will be powered by four engines, solar energy ... of course. The cost of this great cloud? 500 000 dollars. But the device could be used on beaches or parking lots, which could lower the bill, reported the Qatari newspaper The Peninsula. For now, Qatar did not accept the solution proposed by Fifa to postpone the World Cup in winter.
