ABSTRACT:
A solar energy powerplant has a group of tall, vertical towers open at both ends and containing a plurality of wind-powered impellers mounted in vertically spaced locations within each tower, such that thermal updrafts in the tower drives the impellers. Vertically spaced, radially projecting heating chambers are mounted externally on each tower and each chamber has an air inlet to admit ambient air and an air outlet into the tower for heated air. The heated air entering the tower for the solar heating chambers forms an updraft for powering the impellers. The heating chambers also contain heat exchange tubes which connect with an insulated water reservoir in the base for the towers.
