Solar Tower
This is really interesting, SOLAR TOWER, using the heating power from the sun to heat up a flat land of air and then channel the hot air into a chimney. In this chimney, there is a huge turbine, and this turbine will turn a generator to produce electricity.
You might think that this will only work in the day but you are wrong, the heat from the ground will reheat the air and channel it back to the chimney.
Its a pilot project by a german company, build in Spain. It is not an officially working plant and the system doesn’t produce a lot of power (maybe enough to power a hundred homes) but the interesting thing is, the chimney is very cheap (comparing to a powerplant) to build, the whole project cost about a million dollar.
solar heating…
I found your post comments while searching Google. Very relevant especially as this is not an issue which a lot of peaople are conversant with….
very innovative! I think the straits times did publish about something like this a few weeks ago as well. A country is going to test it on a larger scale now
This is really cool. I’m just waiting for the day where we can completely depend on solar to power up our lives with ‘free’ energy (presumably from the sun).
It will be the start of a new era for mankind
Appreciate the info guys, thanks. Let’s work together to save our planet.
I dont usually comment, but after reading through so much info I had to say thanks
