Solar Wind Energy Tower Inc. (fka SWET)

[dog turd cannon]

I didn't ignore the air. I wrote out the entire thing and showed that it just rains in the tower. Actually, the water vapor is sucked up out of the tower and then it rains.

You guys just keep marking those messages off-topic.

You are right that evaporation cools the air. You miss that it also makes it less dense because of the displaced N2 gas being much heavier than H20.

You miss that the shape of the tower will cause a draft just in itself.

You miss that 11% of the energy gained goes to lifting the water means that there is another 89% gained from air falling... which means you expect the weight of the air falling to be 8 TIMES as heavy as the water raised up. Ignoring, any energy losses in the system.

But the constituent change in the air at is a fraction of a percent. A fraction of 1%...
