ABSTRACT:
An energy conversion system is associated with an edifice for converting natural energy to usable energy. The edifice has a generally vertical outwardly facing side surface, and the system includes radiation collecting means defining a plurality of radiation receiving surfaces adjacent to but spaced from the edifice side surface. Thus, a flow-way is defined between the radiation receiving surfaces and the side surface of the edifice. Each of the radiation receiving surfaces faces generally upwardly and has a plurality of hollows. The system further comprises a rotor rotatably mounted on the edifice above the radiation receiving surfaces and ducting apparatus for directing a gaseous medium, such as air, from the flowway to the rotor to rotate the latter. The rotation of the rotor in turn drives at least a part of a suitable energy-using first operator means. The system may also comprise wind driven means comprising braced web members operatively connected to a second operator means.
