The tower, captures solar energy. It will supply energy
for all of the Olympic city, as well as for part of Rio ..
It pumps up water from the ocean to create what
appears like a water fall and this fall stimulates turbines
that produce energy during the night.
It will also hold the Olympic flame.
The Tower possesses an amphitheater, an auditorium, a cafeteria and boutiques. Elevators lead to various observatories. It also has a retractable plat-form for the practice of bungee jumping.
At the summit is an observation point to appreciate the scenery of the land and ocean, as well as the water fall.
Solar City Tower will be the point of reference for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro .
Rio de Janeiro is a beautoful and charming city .
