ABSTRACT:
In abstract a preferred embodiment of the present invention is an energy converting device adapted to be utilized for the generation of electricity. The energy converting device of the present invention comprises a solar heat collecting main structure positioned generally over a subterranean well. Air which has been channeled to the base of said well is initially heated and caused to rise. Additional thermal energy is added to said air by solar energy collected by said main structure. Disposed about an uppermost end of said solar collecting main structure is a windmill assembly which is rotatively driven by rising channeled air passing through the solar collecting main structure. An electrical generator is operatively connected to the windmill assembly and driven thereby such that electricity is generated as the windmill assembly is driven.
