Qatar Will Use $500,000 Artificial Clouds for the World Cup
Apparently, the artificial clouds, developed by scientists at Qatar University, are made from a "lightweight carbon structure carrying a giant envelope of material containing helium gas." There are four solar-powered engines that will move the "cloud" (via remote control) to block the sun and make the temperature playable.
This is cool! But this will also happen in 2022, a whole 11 years from now where we'll likely be using an iPhone 16 (which hopefully by then, will have its own artificial cloud) and seeing a dominant US soccer team win the damn thing. One or the other, at least.

The fact that they have to come up with something like this just shows how stupid FIFA were to give Qatar the world cup... Nice blog though :)
Pretty cool. Thanks for the info.
Haha, fake clouds. It'll be well worth it.
Artificial clouds, wow, they really focus on the details, huh :S
Sounds pretty awesome. Hope a player doesn't get struck by lightning.
This is pretty fucking awesome. Not gonna lie.
22 years? can't wait. :)
we'll have PCUs/internet in our contact lenses by then.
I hope this looks as good on the TV as it would at the actual stadium.
