ABSTRACT:
The invention is a multiple-mode energy utilization device combining elements which extract solar energy, those which utilize wind energy, and those utilizing rising convection currents caused by heated air. In one principal embodiment, a wind rotor on a vertical axis is provided with solar cells on its surfaces and a heat conductive axle in direct contact with a hot water tank in which there are paddle blades for pumping and frictionally stirring water or other fluid, and an electric heater in the water to utilize extra energy from the electric generator run by the shaft as well as the solar cells, which electrical energy would ordinarily charge storage batteries unless such charge was not needed which would cause the water heater to energize. Additional rotational and heat energy are generated by a hood disposed beneath the rotor which houses a heat sink which passes therethrough hot updrafts from a flat plate collector on which the rotor is mounted, as well as water from the flat plate collector to provide additional heat to the flat plate system.
