  • Solar thermal and wind energy power source
    Patent number: 4224528
    Abstract: A transparent panel enclosed tower provides a confined space for solar heating air. An upright wind turbine, mounted on the tower top, communicates with the tower enclosed space. As the solar heated air expands and becomes lighter it is displaced by cooler atmospheric air at the bottom of the tower creating a turbine driving thermal updraft in combination with wind energy driving the turbine. The turbine includes an axial drive shaft driving a gear train in turn driving an electric generator, or the like.
