How to solve the problem of drought, population explosion and energy scarcity? International scientists have thought of the following 5 projects.

Build a giant building

From now until 2050, the world population will increase by 50%. How do we have enough space for people to squeeze?

The leaders of Taisei Corporation (Japan) have come up with a very unique thought to solve this problem: Build a big building like a mountain! This building is 4 kilometers high. The bottom of the building is 6.5 km in diameter and this standing city can accommodate 1.6 million people. A lot of engineers will have to break their hair, crumple their ears before the building is erected on our planet.

Solar energy collection from space

How to find other energy sources when oil fields will run out? Must definitely find part of the answer in solar energy. One can collect this energy through space stations equipped with huge solar panels. These stations operate above the clouds surrounding the earth, so much more solar energy is collected than earth-built stations. Through a celestial wire and in the form of microwaves, the space station can transfer the energy collected by our planet. NASA (American Aerospace Agency) has embraced this idea for more than 30 years and Japanese aerospace experts have just returned. Japan plans to launch a solar energy space station before 2040.

Grow bridges

Roelof Schuiling, a Dutch geochemist, came up with a technique that allowed stones to grow like a green tree. Pouring sulfuric acid into the dug holes in limestone soil, he asserted, could increase the capacity of the rock, bulge and form a real bridge. Schuiling intends to stimulate the limestone range until it rises to the surface of the water and forms a road surface that vehicles and trains can roll on. This road can be equipped with a series of turbines powered by water and wind. And so, there is more energy to supply an entire city.

Scoop water in the air

People call water green gold. Indeed, in some places on our planet, there is a serious shortage of water. The idea of ​​taking water from mist is formed. Even in places where it doesn't rain, it's there, there's still steam in the atmosphere. Scientists suggest turning that water vapor into liquid thanks to dew condensation. The organization using mist (Opur) has launched the initiative to make plastic-coated wide panels with quick cooling properties. This material is capable of lowering the temperature below the temperature at which water molecules move from the gas into the liquid and thus allow the water to coagulate into droplets. Similar devices have been tested in many arid regions from Bangladesh to Ethiopia, across Israel and will soon be tested in India.

Make the desert fertile

Gordon Sato fully believes in making the desert a fertile land. This American biologist has adopted a drought-stricken region of Africa into cultivable fields. It was the coast of Érythrée, on the Red Sea. In the Manzanar project, he planted about one million mangrove and parrots in seven years. And this scientist hopes to create a real parrot forest. In other words, an area of ​​vegetation between the land and the sea brings many benefits to the local people.
