A single chimney /flue tower; drawing one, is used as a central element for three renewable energy devices in one unite. This tower must be construed on concrete pilings of sufficient depth and with a base of adequate thickness to hold attachment bolts as the construction of high rise buildings would dictate. Furthermore all systems and electricity production will require electronic computer control.



A: As hot air from a large greenhouse rises up through the central chimney /flue tower in which this draft drives a singular rotary impeller that is assembled inside the bottom of the chimney /flue tower thus producing electrical current in an induction coil stators built above and below the lower inner rotary impeller with neodymium magnets. Please note drawing two and three. This rotary impeller will be supported and guided by a series of wheeled roller bearing aligned to its circular motion. The chimney /flue tower will in part be supported by shrouds or cables at forty-five degrees. These guy wires would be attached to triangular concrete pillars, these pillars will support the roof of the green house being made of laminated glass and polycarbonate. Steal reinforced concrete is stronger in the force of tensions and compression than that of a bending force. The outer walls of this part of the unit are automatically and manually adjusted horizontal louvers as to regulate air flow for safety and efficiency. As this is a greenhouse any crop can be grown in this space, even algae for bio diesel or ethyl alcohol (ethanol/wood alcohol). Expanded poly styrene blocks would be used for algae culture canals.



B: Also the top of the chimney /flue tower holds a second set of induction coils for each of the four rotors shone in drawing one are energized by a wind driven impeller assembly positioned on a circular rail by ball bearing assembles on the outside as that of an all steal type drawer slide but however circular. This is depicted in drawing four also the inset is of an auxiliary plane view of the alignment of neodymium magnets and coils being ninety degrees out from one another yet at forty-five degrees from vertical. The blade tips of these impellers shall be marked with alternating patterns of contrasting paints most visible to avian raptors to prevent bird strikes as they would fall on the top of the green house and cause damage. It should be reiterated that in both cases of the previously stated induction coils that they are firmly attached to the tower as to create the maximum current.



C: Multiple heliostats concentrate the suns light rays on to a blackened fluid filled heat exchanger loop creating heat and transferring it to an insulated storage tank below ground level containing pure dry salt to store for a time as when such as the need arises, then steam from the heat exchanger is sent to a generator at that time to make additional electricity. Drawing five is that of a steam turbine and electric generator with no need for any shaft, as it is a ring with the blades inside and permanent neodymium magnets and ball bearings out side and thus rolling inside the housing that holds the stator coils.
