What’s the hard evidence that human kind also love their planet?
The latest development of Environmental Friendly’s Mega Power System Projects will assure you!
First and foremost is “Enviro Mission” for the Solar Tower in Australia.
Pioneered since 1980 and estimated could generate a massive 200MW project uses a brilliant yet simple concept to achieve commercial scale power generation with zero emissions and low ongoing maintenance costs.

New South Wales (Australian State) Government is in the process of approval planning for this behemoth of an energy plant.
The tower structure itself will be 1000m high(!) and would cover 24.6 square kilometers, having a distance from one side of the collector area to the other of 5.6km. It will incorporate 32 turbines.
This power plant will produces NO greenhouse gases, makes NO noise (except for the turbines spinning) and doesn’t even produce warm air!
Now how on EARTH does it do that? Have a look at the following this diagram:
As sunlight falls on the glass cover surrounding solar tower itself, it generate heat and the air beneath the glass cover will get hotter.
And as we know, hot air will rise and so the air is forced towards the centre of the structure.
By the time the heated air gets to the turbines, its temperature will increase by 50 degrees celsius and the estimated turbine speed is 15 metres per second. The spinning of the turbines will than generates electricity.
When the air cools rises through heat exchange with the tower walls and also possibly as a result of encountering further turbines in the column. This will results in the air at the top of the tower being at roughly the same temperature as when it entered through the edge of the collector.
Similar with solar panels, this generator collects heat from the project area and converts it to electricity. When we use the electricity that heat is released; all we are doing is moving the heat’s power from the project area to our homes and using it to power the devices we use in everyday life.
The project itself will provide sufficient power for 200,000 homes. In case Australian Government decided to build 50 towers like these, they would reasonably provide the pollution free energy to homes throughout the whole country.
When will your country be the next?
