Electric Power Generating Tower in Brazil

I can't find any information about it. Do you know where it is located within Brazil?

these relate to the oz tower which got a lot of publicity recently. http://money.cnn.com/2006/08/01/technology/towerofpower0802.biz2/ http://edition.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/asiapcf/auspac/01/05/australia.tower/

i forgot this one which has a good video about it and the guy who wants to make it. http://dsc.discovery.com/video/player.html?playerId=203711706&bclid=958525258

There are some experiences in Brazil northeast coast with wind generation(eolic generation).

The ones who research this are the engineers from CHESF, a brazilian large transmisson and generation company.

You may contact them and ask this information(www.chesf.gov.br).

Incidentally they also have a research program for solar generation: they have an "island of solar generation" inside one northeast state called Pernambuco.

A complete city is fed by means of solar generation.

I applaud the Brazilians for their willingness to try these ideas and would like to see similar research/demo units tried in the US. But then again, I suspect they dont have the same governmental restrictions that we have.

Does anyone know about the electric power generator tower in Brazil that uses solar and wind energy?

Answer : Only Brazilians

As the air temperature increases its density decreases and the air goes up to a nozzle. The velocity of the air moves a fan that is above the nozzle, which then produces electric energy....

Thank you for the valuable information. God bless you.

Does anyone know where I can find documents about this topic and if so, are there pictures of the tower available?

Answer : Try Canada

Finally I believe Canada is doing this and after completion it will the TALLEST Structure in the World with their present CNN Tower a miniture compared.

Last I recall seeing a photograph . The Tower was someting like an inverted funnel expanding below the size of a football ground and extending upward maybe six times the size of CNN Tower.

This kind of generation I have notice in Australia.

It is a 250meters diameter glass base under which water exist.

When the sun hits the glass the water raise its temperature in such a way that vapour is generated.

This vapour is conveyed to a chemney and the cinetic energy of the vapour turns a wheel and the later drives a generator which converts this energy to electric energy.
