Abstract

System and apparatus for converting solar heat into electrical energy comprising an accumulator for collecting large amounts of air heated by the sun, and consisting of a roof covering a large area of land, said roof being supported and spaced by a plurality of columns; a cylindrical and hollow tower whose height and diameter is proportional to the size of said roof, arranged centrally on said roof and crossing it to be supported on said floor, said tower having air inlets spaced is its base, a cylindrical, solid pedestal arranged on the floor inside said base of the tower; an air deflector consisting of a cylindrical wall spaced from said pedestal that surrounds it, said wall being provided with annular air inlets, the base of said wall being on the ground and having an upper part open on said roof; a lower cone converging upwards, having a truncated upper part, extending from said upper part of the truncated cone, whose upper edge is connected to the inner wall of said tower, all in combination with an electric generator arranged on the upper part of said truncated cone. Pedestal and said generator being driven by a horizontal impeller attached to the shaft of said generator and disposed within the constricted area between said upper and lower cones, said impeller being activated by the high velocity air rising from the lower cone.
