Digital Cloud

Nov-12-09 Semifinalists from MIT in the tourist attraction competition, want to build a digital cloud in London's Olympic Park that features 400' tall mesh towers topped with solar powered plastic bubbles that display images and data, including Olympic results.

Ramps, stairs, and lifts would carry tourists to the top of the cloud. Once inside the structure, viewers would have a sweeping view of the city below. Despite displaying a constant stream of data, the cloud wouldn’t take any power from the grid. Instead, it could generate all its own energy from a regenerative braking system and solar cells located on the ground and in the plastic spheres.
