A lucid overview of a potentially interesting technologyAug 27, 1998
By vanstaden@ises.org
Jorg Schlaig, professor at the University of Stuttgart and one of the initial developers of the solar chimney concept, is the author of this concise introduction to solar chimney technology. The work, originally produced in German, is an attractive and well presented argument for an energy source that is non-poluting and inexhaustable, and may solve many of our current energy problems. The ideas and concepts are explained in such a way that both lay person and expert may benefit of the many years of practical and theoretical work on which the book is based.Copiously provided with statistical and financial data, the book is a must-read for energy professionals, decisionmakers and politicians everywhere.

A must if you are interested in solar chimneysAug 02, 2005

"dan"
A short book describing the research of this German researcher
on the solar chimney concept for generating power from the sun.
His research is the basis for the highly publicized plan to build a large-scale version in Australia.
