Abstract:
An electricity generating tower includes a tower wall whose inner radius profile has a hyperbolic shape for a least a portion thereof. Moisture is added to the top of the tower and mixes with air to generate a downdraft of wind within the interior of the tower. A base beneath the tower wall contains a plurality of radially extending wind tunnels each having a turbine arranged therein to convert the wind into electricity.
