Abstract:
1. An apparatus for the separation of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere using a superconducting wind turbine comprising: a vertically extending structural tower, a high temperature super conducting cryocooled electric generator mounted adjacent the top said tower and including a plurality of blades for driving said generator; a cryorefrigeration system mounted on said tower providing a cold liquefied gas for said super conducting cryocooled electric generator; a horizontally arranged tubularly shaped vessel mounted on said tower, said vessel having a first end and a second end and being substantially open at each end; a fan located adjacent said first end for forcing air through said vessel; heat exchangers within said vessel arranged to be in contact with the air passing through said vessel; said heat exchangers being cooled by said cryorefrigeration system to a temperature low enough to freeze carbon dioxide in said air passing through said vessel.
