ABSTRACT:
A revolving power tower comprising a fixed tower and a revolving tower, to make use of wind power as main power source and the heat energy of the sun as supplementary power source, said revolving tower being to induce the wind from all directions to run into the present power tower; when the outer heat-absorbing plates and the bottom of the tower being heated by the scorching sun, the inner temperature being to rise; when the wind coming from outside the heat-absorbing plates being to introduce hot air current into the flexible air valve to blow toward the upper-right portion of the non-weight revolving tower to push the blades of the revolving tower to rotate rightward, (at the same time, the bottom air turbine and the electric generator being to start operating) and then, the air current running into the inner portion of the tower, the wind driven by the blades of the air turbine being to circle round and round and to rush out of the tower from the top to form an artificial whirlwind; like natural tornade, the atmospheric pressure in the central portion of the air column being exceptionally low to partly form a vacuum to let the bottom air rush in to make up the deficit and to further rush upward along the central line of the revolving tower, the rushing force resulted from rushing air current being to reinforce the power to make the turbine and the generator to rotate faster and to further increase the generated energy.
