ABSTRACT:
A vertically inclined solar collector on the south side of a building not only provides a source of high velocity solar heated air from which energy is extracted by an air turbine generator, but it also serves to enhance the downward flow of relatively cool, dense air entering the north side of the building at an elevated location. The relatively cool air cools the interior of the building as the air descends and eventually flows into the bottom end of the collector. Interposed in the path of the cooling air is one or more air turbine generators which serve to extract energy from the cool air flow. Electrical storage batteries connected to the turbine generators provide a reservoir of electrical energy; and air washers, coolers and humidifiers increase the downward velocity and cooling effect of the cooling air.
