Summary
A small solar chimney power generator prototype, 4.2 m across and 3 m tall, is designed and built, with a circular glass collector over absorber plates and water tubes that store heat for night-time operation. Output depends on solar radiation, collector size, glazing transparency and ground type, while night running depends on ground properties and tube size; roughly 1 W is expected.
