Abstract:
1. An energy generating power plant for integration with a high rise building and which is capable of energizing at least one power generating device, and receiving atmospheric wind energy from a first location and capturing the energy for transfer to another location to augment energy requirements of the building; the plant comprising: a stack integrated with the building and having a base and at least one inlet and at least one outlet; the at least one inlet leading to at least one through passage in the stack which each receive air drawn from an air source exterior of the building; the air source generating an air stream upon entry into said at least one inlet thereby moving the air stream from the first location to said other location via a formation generating a vortex; the at least one passage in the stack communicating between said at least one inlet and said at least one outlet and which each receive the air stream drawn from the air source; the stream of air moving within the passage under the energy generated by said wind energy; the energy from the moving air stream being usable to energize an energy receiving device within the building for conversion or diversion of the energy; and the formation comprising at least one helix extending longitudinally along the stack.
