| Atmospheric Vortex Engine 
The purpose of the Atmospheric Vortex Engine (AVE) is to produce clean carbon 
free electrical energy. The AVE uses a controlled vortex to harness the huge 
amount of energy produced when heat is transported upward by convection in the 
atmosphere. Mechanical energy is produced when water descends or when warm air 
rises. The Vortex Engine captures the energy produced when warm air rises by 
creating an air vortex which acts as a virtual vertical conduit. The vortex is 
produced by admitting warm or humid air tangentially into a circular arena. 
Tangential entries cause the warm moist air to spin as it rises forming an 
“anchored vortex”. The vortex engine has the same basis as the proven solar 
chimney except the physical tube of the solar chimney is replaced with 
centrifugal force in the vortex |

Commercial Solar Updraft Tower Systems Utilization of Solar Induced 
Convective Flows for Power Generation. A solar updraft tower power plant – 
sometimes also called 'solar chimney' or just ‘solar tower’ – is a solar thermal 
power plant utilizing a combination of solar air collector and central updraft 
tube to generate a solar induced convective flow which drives pressure staged 
turbines to generate electricity, pdf file |

| Floating Solar Chimney Technology 
Solar Chimney Technology is a solar thermal electricity generating technology, 
the warm air produced in a large transparent roof solar collector is up drafting 
through a tall chimney, and leaving part of its thermodynamic energy to a set of 
air turbines geared to appropriate electric generators |

| Solar Tower Demo Spain 
SolarMission Technologies and its Australian subsidiary, EnviroMission Limited 
produced this 5 minute video on the pilot plant in Spain. The solar updraft 
tower is a proposed type of renewable-energy power plant. Air is heated in a 
very large circular greenhouse-like structure, and the resulting convection 
causes the air to rise and escape through a tall tower |

| Solar Tower The sun’s radiation is used to heat a large body of air under an 
expansive collector zone, which is then forced by the laws of physics (hot air 
rises) to move as a hot wind through large turbines to generate electricity,

| Solar Power Towers Solar power towers consist of a large field of 
sun-tracking mirrors, called heliostats, which focus solar energy on a receiver 
atop a centrally located tower. The enormous amount of energy, coming out of the 
sun rays, concentrated at one point (the tower in the middle), produces
