An Energy tower is a new concept for producing electrical power for consumer consumption, the brainchild Professor of Dan Zaslavsky. An Energy Tower produces electricity by drawing the energy from the air around it.

Concept Summary

An Energy Tower is a tall hollow cylinder with a water spray system at the top. The water is pumped up to the top of the tower and then sprayed inside the tower which cools the warm air hovering at the top. The cooled air, being denser than the outside warmer air, falls to the bottom of the cylinder which causes a turbin at the bottom of the cylinder to spin. The turbine is connected to a generator which produces the electricity.

The tower should optimally be situated in a hot dry climate, which thus allows for the greatest extraction of energy from the air. Proximity to water source is important as well.

An alternative approach to this is the Solar Tower. The Solar Tower is a type of renewable-energy power plant based on the solar chimney concept. ...
