Global warming, energy problems, and water shortages could be
solved by one gigantic invention: the Energy Tower. Researchers
claim that the tower, which stands 3,000 feet high and measures
1,200 feet across, could produce up to 20 times the energy the
entire world uses today. It relies on solar power for hot air
and work function optimally in hot, arid environments. It can
use any form of water flowing through the tower to turn turbines
in order to create energy and remove salt if sea water is used.
"The Energy Tower might help the Earth cool itself, and actually
reverse global warming," Inventor Spot explained. "'Hadley Cell
Circulation' is a natural process whereby the earth cools
itself, but it mostly occurs only near the equator. But by
cooling air around it, often in desert regions, the Energy Tower
could expand the effects of this global cooling process." The
project is only awaiting funding for a prototype to be built.
