The enormous solar furnace of Uzbekistan: be blown away by the engineering, and brave the creepy staircase to the top!
I can hardly begin to describe how cool this place was, in an industrial sort of way. I'll tell you about it here, but please visit the link to see what the place looks like. This is a fantastic engineering marvel, although in a way it's so simple — harnessing the sun to heat things up.By the way, I mention 3000 degrees, and that's Celsius. In degrees Fahrenheit it would be 5432 degrees.Burnt by the sun: Uzbekistan's spectacular solar furnace
