Probably not. My first thoughts were, do they use that to cool the building to lower the electricity consumed by air conditioners? Does it get really hot there in the summer so this is used as a heat sink for the surrounding area? Then I googled the news and it was just the owner wanting to showcase his idea.
Hee Sing Sia What.you describe exist already so called: backside air flowing curtain(translate from german: hinterbelüftete Fassade). The curtain is built 100mm outside the exterior wall. When the curtain is heated by the sun, the air in its backside will be heated and flow upwards along the whole curtain. The flowing air is fast and will take the heat away without any help of additional eletricity.
TBH the waterfall looks bland. Just like the guy said. Looks like pipes exploded. It's a huge waste if there's no specialty other than "biggest largest human made."
at least this attract tourist than no tourist at all........other countries got historic landmark and theme park and casino.....so to attract tourist that how you do it.
The class divide in china is so big. The rich are very very rich and the rest are poor as fuck. Migrant workers are treated like blacks people in the 40s
@ME What Gordon Ng said, it's not that hard tbh. I think you meant that water is rarer than gold due to the high import prices to places with no water sources, right?
I clicked on one video posted by this channel and now from time to time weekly I get these recommended to me. I'm not Chinese don't live in China and probably won't be going anytime soon. However the videos are entertaining so why the hell not. Keep em coming 👍
@Randomizer 😂😂😂 waste of energy is human being 🤣 we are not worthy for any natural resources , they are beautiful and we are destroying 😑 just for money
@@ALSANMAT all the water is returned back to the water cycle and is reused once more also all that water is un drinkable most probably tap water, as tap water in most asian countries are single filtered thus making it riskier to drink hope that cleared some thing up.
@@PrinceLlamanade impossible for all the water recycle back to the system. Have you been near a waterfall? Even standing several meters away you are bound to be at least damp from the vapor. Thats lost water in this system.
@@ALSANMAT omg why dude evaporated water goes on to become clouds and clouds produce rain thus returning the water back to its cycle do you really think evaporated water ceases to exist if you think that the earth should have ran out off water 50000 years ago
I think if only operated few times...it is very beatiful work of engineering...😄 It is never a waste to work out new ideas... I am saying that with the perspective of a civil engineer from India..
Agreed. People will talk negatively about this because it uses up water or is expensive or whatever; I bet these same people visit or even own swimming pools without batting an eye.
hungry stomach couldn't be a reason. in 1969 when human first time stepped on moon, there were still many many hungery stomachs, does this mean Apollo Project is meaningless? There're always poor people existing on earth, if every time we have to ask ourselves why not give these money to the hungry people when we make investment, basically, nothing can be achieved. About this building, as long as the benefits it brings can cover its cost (come on, $117/h is really not much), we can say it is successful. Even if the cost is too high to be covered, they could still choose not to open it.
I honestly thought the water mains exploded. Why would you do this. Wasting money. Try and design something worthy of being eye-catching on its own, not a generic square office building with a man-made waterfall.
