Dr Saud Abdul Ghani, a Sudan-born mechanical engineer nicknamed ” Dr Cool” has created a groundbreaking air cooling technology that will also be used at the world athletics championships when they begin on Friday and at the 2022 World Cup.
The stadium he designed can maintain an interior temperature of 21 degrees (celsius) even when outside temperatures are over 35 degrees.

It is achieved by a revolutionary air circulation system that he has created.Tiny grills under each seat and 170 turrets at the side of the pitch blast out freezing air.
“You are living inside a controlled micro-climate bubble.Pumping out cold air is a bit crude. So, we pump the exact amount of cold air in the exact place and then recycle it all the time. We never throw it away. There are grills on the floor. We take it from the top and recycle it back.If you look at the diffuser underneath you, you can see funny angles. This has been designed for the air to miss you and not to hit you, hug you gently and engulf you. Make a bubble!”
It’s going to the world cup with the lowest carbon footprint ever he says.
The sceptics are sceptical.
