"updraft heats (day only) ground level air (greenhouse-type material) that rises spinning turbines generating 350 MWh/ yr... 10 cooling downdraft towers (day and night) force air downwards spinning their own turbines, accomplished by spraying water mist into ambient air at towers' top, spinning turbines at bottom generating 400 MW-hours/ yr... 200m tall, 13.6m diameter, 250m diameter heat collector... each inner cooling tower's diameter 10m... most effective in hot, dry desert cities, if can get enough water"
