"Artificial Cloud" to cool stadiums for World Cup. Uh, NOT.

Don't worry everyone, I have the solution.

1) Move the Olympics to a country that's not Qatar.
2) Profit

Good plan except for a minor detail. Qatar is hosting FIFA World Cup and not The Summer Olympics :biggrin:

It looks remarkably like The Valiant aircraft carrier from Dr. Who.

Bah... if this was a Dubai building project, they would build a domed city around the whole frickin stadium and cool the dome to 68 degrees.

World cup, not Olympics.... anyway, I think the committee members went by the logic of

1) Award Qatar World Cup
2) ...
3) Profit

Then it wouldn't be bat shit crazy. And that whole region is into bat shit crazy engineering.

I've got to be honest though, if they ACTUALLY can build this thing for $500K then that would probably be much cheaper than building an actual roof.

ftfy and 100% agree we should not have a sporting event like this in a desert.

Yes, but unlike most posters, techs' threads are mostly of quality.

I wouldn't go as far as "mostly...."
