The Sandstorm Absorbent Skyscraper project is made of 25 similar-looking towers working together to channel one of the most dangerous natural disasters mostly happening in arid and semi-arid cities like Dubai. Sandstorms cause many health and social problems for these highly developed cities and these towers, which are equipped with highly functioning smart panels and magnetic systems absorb the sand particles and after purification collects them in silos heating them with solar panel energy and turning this natural disaster into a green source of energy: Thermal Sand Batteries.
