Beacherator: Dubai to Build World's First Ever Refrigerated Beach

Dubai white sand beach with luxurious shade tentIt's no secret that oil rich Dubai has more cash than it knows what to do with, and even though oil prices have crashed over the last few months, Dubai is still moving forward with building projects that redefine the term excess. To go along with the city's giant indoor ski mountain/shopping mall, condo high rise with 57 swimming pools, Dubai has come up with yet another climate-altering project that thumbs its nose at frugality and common sense: refrigerated beaches

With summertime highs of 122°F, the sand on Dubai's beaches can get mighty hot. That's why designers of the Palazzo Versace Hotel decided to be ridiculous innovative and include a subsurface cooling system to draw the heat away from their high end guest's tender feet. The beacherator will consist of a series of heat absorbing pipes under the sand and massive blowers on the surace to keep tourists comfortable on Dubai's scoarching desert beaches. According to Palazzo Versace president, Soheil Abedian:
"We will suck the heat out of the sand to keep it cool enough to lie on. This is the kind of luxury that top people want."
