ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to an apparatus for generating electricity, which includes a plurality of components which cooperate together. A housing is provided which defines a substantially enclosed and continuous, closed-loop airflow pathway. At least one power consuming air propeller is provided within the closed-loop airflow pathway for propelling air within the substantially enclosed and continuous closed-loop airflow pathway. A means is provided for energizing the at least one power consuming air propeller. Preferably, this means is an array of solar panels for generating electricity, but could alternatively comprise or include internal combustion engines, coal powered combustion engines, water powered turbines, or any conventional equivalent prime mover. Additionally, the apparatus includes a plurality of wind turbines located in the substantially enclosed and continuous closed-loop airflow pathway. Each of the wind turbines includes at least one propeller blade for engaging airflow within the substantially enclosed and continuous closed-loop airflow pathway, and a generator member for generating electricity in response to rotation of the at least one propeller blade.
