Scientific Industrial Engineering Department of Qatar University presented this week to design a remote-controlled tag that will shade and cool the stadiums and training camps during the World Cup in 2022 Qatar . The tag would be built of carbon fiber is light but strong and filled with helium gas, which allows it to float. The artificial cloud could achieve a comfortable temperature in the stadium without the need to place air conditioning systems.

The World in 2022 promises to be a waste of technology and imagination. The country plans to build futuristic stadiums and now presented a solution to protect players from the desert sun: an artificial cloud.
"The idea was suggested by a friend, who once told me that much sun in Doha had sometimes dreamed of building something to cover the entire city," he tells BBC Dr. Saud Ghani, project manager .
"And the idea was embodied in this new system in the form of an aerial platform, used to control the microclimate of the stadiums, "said Ghani.
Concerned by the intense heat of the deserts of the Persian Gulf, even assessed the possibility of making the World Cup during the winter months. The World Cup organizers speculated with the possibility that the courts and the stands were refrigerated for 24 hours before the game, with a system relying on solar, carbon emission-free.
But now scientists say that the cloud can control the weather. According Ghani explained to BBC World, the tag will be moved by remote control, allowing you to move from one stage to another in Doha, the capital of the emirate. The tag would constructed of carbon fiber is light but strong and filled with helium gas, which allows it to float.
also be powered by four engines powered by solar energy, which is very thin solar panels installed on its surface.
The tag, which plans like a helicopter, fly high enough to protect from direct and indirect sunlight.
Ghani told BBC that the project is currently in the process of seeking funds for the implementation of a working prototype.
The expert estimated that to build the prototype of the organic tag will cost $ 500,000, but once to start producing a large scale could be cheaper, also because the cloud would be produced entirely in Qatar. The aerial platform shall also have a system that allows you to move constantly as you change the position of the sun or wind direction.
To Ghani, the cloud will be as safe as it can be an airplane. "I do not rule because accidents can always happen, but the cloud works like a plane in flight constantly and has the ability to float. If you look at the numbers of air accidents compared with other forms of transport are much lower."
The teacher says she is a 99% sure that your project will take place and help protect all of 2022 spectators at the World Desert Sun: "This is a solution designed to Qatari Qatari environment," he said.
And though the sun can be for many a source of joy, in this case to the highest international football competition, Qatar avoid looking like a little heat of its rays.
