Qatar Engineer Designed Natural Cooling Palm

A Qatari engineer has designed the world's first Cooling Palm which has a structure like a palm trees with 40m high and able to cool the surrounding temperature to as low as 25 degC from a 40 degC high temperature which is common in Qatar.

The cooling palm does this by reducing the humidity of the air and converts the moisture to water. An industrial fog valve system then convert the water to cold fog and significantly reducing the surrounding temperature.

The environmental friendly cooling palm device does not consume energy other than using solar power. The application is said to be used in pedestrian streets at hot climate which also serves as beautification through its palm tree like looking.
