EnviroMission, Ltd. (www.enviromission.com.au; US Stock Market: EVOMY, Australian Stock Exchange: EVM) is a renewable energy developer of sustainable "green" energy solutions for the energy market. EnviroMission aims to be one of Australia's leading producers of clean renewable energy. EnviroMission holds the proprietary rights to Solar Tower technology, a large-scale renewable energy technology based on simple fundamentals of physics -- hot air rises. Solar Tower technology has the potential to offer competitive renewable energy with equal reliability to fossil fuel generators.

A single 200MW Solar Tower power station will provide enough electricity to power around 400,000 households. The energy output will represent an annual saving of more than 1,960,000 tonnes of greenhouse CO2 gases from entering the environment when compared to brown coal emissions in Victoria. The greenhouse savings equate to the removal of approximately 500,000 cars from the road. The Australian Solar Tower project consists of six distinct phases, the first two of which (project optimization and pre-feasibility commercialization) have already been completed. The third phase (final feasibility), paving the way for the implementation of the next three phases (final design, construction, and commercial operation).

  • I think it has to ...

    I think it has to do with air velocity. A trick in the early days of muscle cars to make them faster was to put long tubes for air intake to the carbs. The longer the tubes the faster the velocity of air flowing into the tubes. You've probably seen ram-air tubes before...they are tubes that usually stick out of the hood of like a typically hopped-up 70's muscle car. So my guess is the higher tower produces more power than the lower tower.

  • 3000' feet seems to ...

    3000' feet seems to be a limiting situation. I think that having towers in the 800'(250m)would be more feasable. It would produce 5%-10% the power BUT the cost of going high becomes EXTREMELY prohibitive. A deseert community (i.e. Palm Springs, Las Vegas,... could build a series of 800' (250m) towers easier, quicker, and be more acceptable to the communities investment.

    The big problem with these is not producing at night - that's where wind has them beat.

  • It's going to take ...

    It's going to take a LOT of energy to build that tower. It's going to take a lot of land to collect the sun's energy with that setup. perhaps I'm alone in my thinking the the tower part of the design seems redundant, why does it need to be over 3000 feet high?

  • of course it works, ...

    of course it works, termites used this for several million years in principle..
    not only solar but thermal energy can be used..
