I mean, wouldn't that depend entirely upon how high up in the sky the blocking material sits? I don't find it unreasonable to assume that a few
thousandmillion drones could suspend some type of sun-blocking lightweight fabric in the air over a city.Mmmm, lets do some math. This nice product here blocks 90 square feet and weighs ~4 lbs. Assuming a drone can carry 20lbs, you could theoretically get 360 square feet of coverage per drone (per 20 minutes). Springfield is ~ 15.2 square miles, and Google tells me that 439,000,000 square feet. This means we'd need not only 4.87 million pieces of fabric from Amazon, but also 1.22 million drones.
Now, a million drones might not be a lot for Mr. Burns (actually $300 million is quite a bit), but lets consider the amount of energy that would be required to hold such cloth in the air. Drones burn ~300W to hover while holding such weight. With a million drones, that gives us 366 000 megawatts of consumption. Interestingly, the smallest nuclear power plant produces 500MW, while larger ones (such as the one demolished in Oregon in 2006) produce 1130 MW. This means Mr. Burns would use 25-50% of his own power plant's production just to block out the sun.
That's enough math for now.
We use this as a sun shade, great for privacy as well. You can hang between wood posts or something if needed
