Can hot air be the free fuel of the future?
As you know, heat rises. But you might not know that this scientific reality could create clean energy for cities! Roger Davey wants to create, capture, and control hot air to power cities. Roger plans to create a solar updraft tower 2,600 ft. tall in the Arizona dessert. This tower would have 32 turbines spinning to make energy, and with the help of generators would convert to electicity. He wanted to make his tower be in Austalia, his home country, but says the United States has a better climate. The plant should take at least two years to be built, and it would make 1,500 jobs. Once it gets built it will take 30 staff members to operate the plant. Since air is free operating costs will be little. Source 1
