Atmospheric cold megawatts (ACM) system TM for generating energy from differences in atmospheric pressure

摘要

A system for the generation of energy based upon the differences in the atmospheric pressure at geographically spaced apart sites, referred herein as the Atmospheric Cold Megawatt energy producing system of the invention (hereinafter ACM) comprises at least one long conduit, in the order of many miles long, preferably of at least two portions of different internal areas capable of conducting significant amounts of air there through. In operation the air flow in the conduit will accelerate to a high velocity wind without the consumption of any materials and without the use of any mechanical moving parts. A power converter, such as a wind turbine, in the conduit converts the high wind velocity generated by even minute pressure differences into energy of any desired type such as electricity. The opposite open ends of the conduit are located at geographically spaced sites preferably selected on the basis of historical information indicating an historical useful difference in barometric pressure. A plurality of conduits each having open ends in different geographically spaced sites may be interconnected to maximize the existing pressure differences that will assure higher and more consistent levels of energy production.
