Harnessing electricity from controlled tornado

Abstract

The invention described herein safely creates, sustains and controls tornado in a structurally sound, heat resistant tower for generation of electricity. Number of new inventions are described. The most unique is delivery of central super cold air via a duct. This feature will be a pull through thread to enhance all the three sources of energy in a tornado. It is a low cost construction device using present day, available technology. When Placed near an user community it will have low cost of transmission. It will use waste heat for cheaper cost of production. It would be a demand controlled production, conserving resources when electricity not needed and be able to produce more when needed. Thus it will be a win for the investors for better returns on investment by avoiding wasteful unpaid production, and a win for the communities providing more electricity when needed.

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

[0042]This devise incorporates placement of the turbines at the base of Tower at least 20 or more meters away from the tower wall FIG. 1 # 5. This feature has allowed us to reduce the diameter of the tower by 40 or more meters (20 meters on each side) saving considerable cost of the cement, reinforcement materials and labor. We will use these savings to increase the height of the tower to produce more energy by placing the turbines inside the tower near the wall.

[0047]2. As the peripheral hot and humid air rushes to the center It creates a negative pressure at the longitudinal openings on the outside wall FIG. 1 # 6 and FIG. 4 # 4 causing a suction of the ambient air from out side enhancing the velocity and impingement of the air on the inner turbines working synergistically with the inner centrifugal air increasing the yield of the inner turbines.

[0048]3. As the hot air from the periphery continues to move towards the center, it will also move upwards being hotter than the cold air and in doing so it will pull the hot air mass upwards like a pulling force for the hot air causing higher negative pressures at the base of tower providing more energy for the lower turbines at the bottom of the tower. It will enhance the production of electricity by the lower turbines placed in the base of the tower.

Problems solved by technology

Michael A. Dunn, U.S. Pat. No. 6,772,593, disclose a vortex driven power station, whereby the air is warmed up under solar collectors—a concept similar to an updraft solar chimney described elsewhere but it is a very inefficient model.

In many instances such rejected heat is discharged into atmosphere through a chimney and is truly wasted.
