It looks very simple to maintain and should require few people to operate. I am sure it will cost a bit to build, but I live in Kansas and it just looks like a big silo. They are actually cheap to build. This is just a giant chimney. And it doesn’t require wind. Greenhouse effect usally works year round.
the advantage is that there’s need no water. But a tower of 1000 meters could be more expensive than water pipelines from the sea to parabolic through, couldn’t it?
you see that large tube like tower? well your mom goes up to the top, on that elevator thing, and takes a dump in it and then we fry her turd with the aid of sunlight…which then turns a turbine which will producing power. it’s all rather simple =P
the principle…. Hot air rises… the ground gets baked…the flat part keeps the hot air, and it’s barely angled upward, toward the tower… huge area of hot air trapped moving toward tower… huge mass of constant wind tower bound….turbines turn.
Now, this is just a terrific idea and a great invention. Whoever invented this should get a Nobel Prize.BUT: There is still one thing I don’t get. Hot air rises, and below the funnel-shaped part of the tower it will rise through the chimney. But how does the flat part of the construction help? The air underneath it should just try to escape upwards, which is no use.

it produces just 200 megawatt?!
per second
where in australia is this going to be built?
how the fuck does this work?

ya they should include this in the next trillion dollar stimulus package…
