迪拜安装智能棕榈树 可充电能上网
Smart palm trees have been installed and are ready for use in Dubai this summer enabling beach goers and park visitors to have limitless power and internet access on their mobile phones.
迪拜安装了一些智能棕榈树，这个夏天即将投入使用。前往沙滩和公园的游客无需担心手机电量，并且可以自在上网。
Soaking up the sun during the day, these state-of-the-art trees store energy to bedischarged in the evening.
On each tree, there are eight charging points and WiFi ranges for 100 metres in any direction.
Smart Palm is the company behind this ingenious endeavour and have so far set up two - one on Surf Beach and another in a park near the waterfront.
The company plans to plant them in 103 locations around Dubai as part of a contract with the city.
Towering at 20 feet high and with leaves measuring 18 square metres, the high-tech palms, understandably, are also equipped with screens and security cameras.
However, the cost to use the powerful palm has not yet been decided.
And while they may be useful to sneak some shade under during the day, it's at night that passersby will undoubtedly flock.
Best of all? The company insists that the trees can charge your batteries two and a half times faster than your home charger.
Perfect for a night out on the town.
