@Slappingplastic
it is achievable, burj dubai (hope spelling is correct) is a skyscraper a little higher than 1km. My concerns are about efficency
200 MW of output for a monumental “OZ” icon like this? You got to be kinding. You must be a labor party member.
@gokugold14 No. Our labor government has wasted too much money for things like that.
@Slappingplastic It’s wider than the empire state building….
To bad world ends in 2012 :(
1 km high, is that even achievable? I’m no engineer but unless that thing is a whoooooooole lot wider than it appears is that very likely?
@bucktheusa hey, not such a bad idea.
Great video…I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas…I made a video about it called, “Preparing for Peak Oil”….
@86dostor I thought the same thing but apparently its synergy, which means that one large structure would be far greater then lots of small ones combined beacuse of something to do with greater air pressure the higher the tower is.
dude read the description: this is that that ur talking about…
Good Job!! My physics teacher told me that australians will do something similar in 2012!! Massive!
good idea, but i will suggest a brute force design.. Like a plant nursery with small but numerous production units rather than i huge tree. it will lower maintenance costs and increased flexibility/expandability. anyways nice idea for alternate energy
@bucktheusa Sure they can. It’s called geothermal energy. It’s way more expensive and complicated than solar.
@williamwagener In this fantastic proposal which is not going ahead, there is only one concrete object which is the chimney. This would be the worlds biggest and tallest chimney and due tot the hot Austrailian climate i would imagine that the concrete would be protected by it. The glass and the plastic can be cleaned and the turbines are easily servicable.
Nice concept. But it would be a Maintenance Nightmare.
I think there are WATER POWERED CARS by Stan Meyers and other much more practicalable without the tremendous
initial cost outlay.
I though that this project was long abandoned on cost grounds a few years back.
Those people were jamming out in the tower. How long can those people last on the tower of power?
1000 meters high ? wtf ? imagine that falling…
Heh, it works in a similar manner to a coffee maker. =D
I’m In!
TI HO VOTATO … I have voted you
It’s more efficient if you have a high tower and a large diameter. If you have a short tower, you won’t get much energy from it…
And for those who think that it won’t work at night: The sun heats up the ground beneath it during the daytime and re-radiates during the night.
Holly shitballs! Didn’t realize they want to make it 1000 meters tall. That’s real practical, sure.
Might as well just attach a cable to the moon and use it to pull a generator around the earth Captain!
Can’t they just trap the steam or something or bury rods that won’t melt just above the magma flow. Just thinking that there’s probably more heat digging down than building up and reflecting the sun.
I always thought this way of making electricity was a natural for Australia and was amazed that there was no news of it. I also believe that if they put 10 in a group on the Indian Ocean near Perth, the combined updraught will shoot moisture laden air into the atmosphere and make it rain in the desert.
volcanos can’t be controlled. it would be suicide.
