Small-scale Energy Facilities
Small buildings or even communities can, in the tropics, be provided with ALL energy from sun and wind captured in compressed air....
Systems can be integrated in structures: tanks can be build into floors, solar air pumps into roof panels, wind turbines into oversized columns.....
Below is a sample concept for a Tropical Villa: with four wind turbines and 100 m2 solar capture panels, massive quantities of wind and sun can be captured and stored in equally massive tank storage build into the roof.
From the stored energy, the household can be supplied with cooling, heating, water systems, even electrical power, on demand...
