Abstract:     A pyramid-like structure consisting of a base and 3 or more side frames, each side frame forming an angle to the base. The pyramid-like structure having an enclosed space within and including a way to collect solar energy and to collect and transfer thermal energy from the sun; air suction mechanisms to take surrounding air into the enclosed space; a plurality of wind turbines; a Main Thermal Reservoir to take in and hold heat transfer medium, which is heated therein and then pumped to the top day tanks. The heat transfer medium is heated by a Heat Absorption and Transfer Layer through a network of pipes on the side frame back to the Main Thermal Reservoir, wherein thermal energy is collected, absorbed and transferred to the enclosed space of the pyramid, heating the enclosed space and within the air suction means, causing a temperature differential between the surrounding air and heated air inside the enclosed space of the pyramid to create a continuous flow of the heated air to turn the wind turbines. If desired, the thermal energy can be used to by a desalination system to process seawater into potable water.

First Claim:
Show all 44 claims
    1. A pyramid-like structure including a base and 3 or more side frames, each side frame forming an angle to the base, the pyramid-like structure having an enclosed space within, the pyramid-like structure comprising:

an accumulator-conductor of thermal energy, said accumulator-conductor having a collector of solar energy;

an air suction means to take surrounding external air into the enclosed space;

a plurality of wind turbines;

a plurality of day tanks located near the top of the pyramid-type structure;

a main thermal reservoir in fluid communication with said plurality of day tanks;

a system for storage of a heat transfer medium, and heating of said heat transfer medium by the accumulator-conductor said system adapted to provide circulation of said heat transfer medium between said main thermal reservoir, the plurality of day tanks and the accumulator-conductor;

a boiler system in communication with the plurality of day tanks to apply heat to the heat transfer medium within the plurality of day tanks; and

a system of controls for working of the pyramid-like structure characterized in that the accumulator-conductor is adapted to heat both air within the enclosed space of the pyramid and to heat the air within the air suction means, said wind turbines arranged to receive a flow of air resulting from said heat applied by the accumulator-conductor to the enclosed space and suction means.
