The feasability study for tallest building in the world has been completed. A giant tower 1000 meters tall, and about 50 meters diam, is to be placed in the center of a 5000 meter diam: low glass roof.
The hot air developed under the glass roof (which is just a few feet high) will create a self
perpetuating convection up-draught of air, driving a 200MW generator. Enough power to supply nearly 1/4 million housholders.
This single tower alone will prevent 750,000 tons of CO2 gases from entering the atmosphere every year.
The Australian Goverment together with EnviroMission Ltd (the Australian Company) should be applauded for helping develop and finance this wonderful worthwhile polution free project.
Its simplicity itself, no noise from dozens of wind turbines, just a single huge chimney tower, about the width of a football field.
I can see it becoming one of the tourist wonders of a grateful new greener world.
Unbelievable? No its real enough.
Its now completed feasability study is based on an actual small Spanish Solar Air Chimney that has been running sucessfully from 1982-1989, generating green electricity without any problems.
