ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to cooling towers of the type currently in use for cooling water and/or condensing exhaust steam as for example in association with nuclear or fossil fuel type power plants. Typically towers are very large and very high. The invention embodies an original concept for utilization of such towers, for example hyperbolic towers, for the generation of energy from wind and also for improving the efficiency of the cooling tower. In the exemplary form of the invention a large wind driven rotor is provided to be carried by the tower and to rotate around its axis at the position of the narrowed throat of the tower. Pressure is generated by the rotor and discharged through nozzles arrayed on the inside of the walls of the tower to augment and enhance the draft within the tower.
