Solar Wind Energy, Inc. (SWET) Invents the “Power Tower”

Many desert areas around the world, long considered hostile to life and with few things to offer, have, over the past century, been transformed into vibrant and important places. Part of this, of course, has been due to the value of oil and gas resources tapped from deep underneath desert sands. But some deserts, with no such resources, have still taken on a new value, as cooling and irrigation technologies have made the desert both livable and productive. In addition, the search for sources of clean renewable energy has increased the value of sun-drenched desert environments, as large solar power…

Solar Wind Energy, Inc. (SWET) Puts a Brilliant Spin on an Ancient Idea

Windcatchers represent an ancient technology still used today in parts of the Middle East and other dry regions of the world. Windcatchers are designed to create natural dwelling ventilation and, when used with water pads, a natural cooling effect. It consists of a tower that rises above the dwelling, with an opening that catches the passing wind. The wind is carried down into the dwelling, providing a refreshing breeze to push out stagnant hot air. When pads dampened with water are used to line the tower, the moving dry air evaporates the moisture, which causes a drop in air temperature…

Solar Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (SWET) Shatters Expectations for Wind Energy with Hybrid Solar-Thermal Tower System

Solar Wind Energy Tower is an ingenious little company with some key patent applications on their tech, including an improved wind energy power transmission system using multi-stage variable hydraulic drives that can achieve high efficiencies across a wide range of speeds, and an energy tower having external wind capturing capacity that dovetails exceptionally well with their flagship Solar Wind Downdraft Tower concept. Effectively, this is a solar/wind concept which can also be constructed with large, vertical vanes that help to capture additional prevailing winds, but which primarily operates on very simple downdraft physics. Basically you have a huge hollow cylinder…
