Abstract:
An energy generation system, comprising:a conduit for channeling a convected flow of an air created by a difference of heat along portions of said conduit;an energy generation means responsive to said flow of air disposed along said conduit for converting energy of said air flow into another form of a usable energy;wherein, said conduit is attached to a building structure with a portion of said conduit oriented vertically and having an opening at a top;wherein, a heated air vents into an outside environment through said conduit by a chimney effect of said convected flow;wherein, said energy generation means consist of a fan-operated electrical generator positioned in said convected flow within said conduit;wherein, said conduit is a part of a solar heating system attached to said building structure with a solar panel positioned at an exterior of said building structure to define a portion of said conduit;wherein, said conduit has at least one opening at a lower point to an interior space of said building structure as an intake of a heated air of the building.
