Though I have not been fortunate enough to get a ticket of India-Australia quarter final at Ahmedabad but for those fortunate ones who got the tickets for any of these matches, the main huddles in enjoying the cricket was the extremely high temperature especially in day matches. Think of watching IPL matches in April-May when sun will be on its peak.
Here is a good news for you all game lovers, researchers at Qatar University's engineering school have come up with a novel way to cool the stadiums - giant flying saucers. It will be robotic cloud made up of high-tech materials that will be positioned between the blistering sun and the stadium. As per them this cloud will be able to reduce temperature by 10 degree Fahrenheit.
Talking about the product, the initial engineering phase is completed and they have planned to make a 4-by-3 meter prototype by the end of this year to test the concept. The finished product would be a rectangle made up of carbon fiber and solar panels the size of a jumbo jet. It would use sophisticated monitoring gear to track the transit of the sun and would use four electric powered engines to maneuver to the precisely the right position to drop a cool shade across the stadiums. The product could also be useful in security and communications. Radio and camera transmitters could help facilitate wireless communication and provide an eye-in-the-sky for broadcasters or security forces. The final cost for one such unit is expected to be around $500,000.
Lets wait till we could see this in the upcoming matches after some years.
