Desert Sahara Utopia "Sale"

Book club has been calling on pipes to supply water and train lines into the Sahara Desert for years both to grow potatoes other crops. It is now about to happen with new technologies such as in the video below and project such as “Desert Dome One” DD1 coming into the Sahara Desert a dome, they would be shaped like an egg these buildings could be built from the outside would have a water vapour pool collectors inside. This can be done without human intervention either from a truck or aircraft hovering quad copter designs these can work from a base there is no need for cement to fix the blocks into place as gravity holds a herring bone dome together. They are based on a simple trigonometry formula these buildings could be either reconstructed or built from scratch with very little energy being used. Also modern magnetic generators that are perfectly safe and use new none toxic generator turbines to purify sea water give power. The Sahara could become a new productive Rain Forrest a virtual resorts for old tired humans its such a beautiful vision of this abandoned mass of land. Here how it could work moisture evaporated by the scorching heat will be condensed to feed plant life - the same system used by the humped mammal's nose. These designs can be easily constructed with spray on reflective polymers use of quad copters from trucks Scientists inspired by a camel's nostrils are set to achieve the impossible and grow a man-made forest in the desert. The £3.3 million giant open-air greenhouse in Qatar will bring plant life to one of the most inhospitable spots on earth and it is all thanks to the humped mammal's nose. Using a trick of nature the Sahara Forest Project will use surface water and cold water pumped up from 200 metres below the sand to feed trees, vegetables and algae. The irrigation system will work in the same way as a camel's nostrils by constantly condensing water that the heat evaporates during the day. As the animal breaths out moist air, its nose instantly sucks it in and condenses any water, keeping it alive in the harsh desert. Its nostrils also suck in water from the warm humid night air to keep it hydrated. Inspired by this designers say their 10,000 square metre project will use a similar idea, which they have already tested successfully. Using solar power they will pump water throughout the giant glass structure. The hot desert air will evaporate surface water that appears overnight but strategically placed hedges will cool it before it escapes into the sky, keeping the greenhouse at a ideal temperature for growth. As this cooler moist air created by the hedges flows around the site it will hit the cold pipes containing water pumped from deep below the sand, instantly condensing again. This will then provide a constant source of moisture to feed and grow all the plants there.'The Pilot Project in Qatar will demonstrate the benefits of reducing waste streams in technological systems. Our message is that it is possible to design solutions that are good for the environment, good for social development and that have a long-term economic sustainability,' said Joakim Hauge, Norwegian CEO of The Sahara Forest Project. Sahara Forest Project’s Michael Pawlyn, who was also one of the lead architects behind Cornwall’s Eden Project, told the New Scientist that exploiting the difference in temperature between surface seawater ensures the project is environmentally friendly. The vegetables and algae grown could then be used for biomass production.
Current plans for the plant will see it operating as soon as July, receiving visitors during the COP18 Climate Talks to be held in Doha in November.'The Pilot Project is designed to fit in an approximately 10,000 m2 area and will consist of Seawater-based greenhouses, Concentrated solar power (CSP) for heat & electricity, Evaporating hedges and ponds for reducing brine to dry salts, Algae cultivation facilities, Vegetated outdoor areas and Halophyte cultivation units,' their design brief says. Costing £3.3 million it will stretch for 10,000 square metres across Qatar and will open this year
