	Solar Tower - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Of these technologies the solar dish/Stirling has the highest energy efficiency (the current record is a conversion efficiency of 30% of solar energy).
		Given that a solar chimney is "mostly concrete with a few moving parts" and does not have a lot of mechanical complexity, it is also considered to be economically attractive.
		The "Energy Tower" is driven by spraying water at the top of the tower; evaporation of water causes a downdraft by cooling the air thereby increasing its density, driving windturbines at the bottom of the tower.

		Best known for its iconic 110-story Twin Towers, after having survived a bombing on February 26, 1993, all of the original buildings in the complex were destroyed in the September 11, 2001 attacks; two collapsed (1 and 2) and the others (3, 4, 5, 6) were damaged beyond repair and later demolished.
		The complex towers were designed by Japanese American architect Minoru Yamasaki with Antonio Brittiochi, and was one of the most striking American implementations of the architectural ethic of Le Corbusier, as well as the seminal expression of Yamasaki's gothic modernist tendencies.
		Tower One (the North Tower, which featured a massive antenna) stood 1,368 ft (417 m) high, and Tower Two (the South Tower, which contained the observation deck) was 1,362 ft (415 m) high.

	World's tallest tower to be built in Australia \| Floornature
		Solar towers are the last frontier in renewable energies, and are the only way of supplying solar energy 24 hours a day with no need for any additional fuel.
		Air between the roof and the ground will be heated under the rays of the sun and drawn up into the tower, which acts as a chimney, creating an updraught which will drive 32 turbines located at the base of the tower, where generators will convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy.
		A solar tower of this type with a collector area 7000 m in diameter and 2300 kWh/m2 of annual solar radiation can generate 700 to 800 Gwh per year.
