Amazing. unknownskywalker: Solar City Tower by RAFAA / Olympic Games 2016 Rio de Janeiro The project consists of a solar power plant that by day produces energy for the city respectively the Olympic village. Excessive energy will be pumped as seawater into a tower. By night, the water can be released again; with the help of turbines, it generates electricity for the night. The electricity produced can be used for the lighting of the tower or for the city. On special occasions, this “machine building” turns into an impressive wonder of nature: an urban waterfall, a symbol for the forces of nature. Visit the RAFAA website for more pictures and info.
