Summary
Design, construction and testing of a small solar chimney power generator, about 4.2 m across and 3.6 m tall, with two stacked turbines, an airflow guide at the tower base, and absorber tiles plus water tubes under the collector that store daytime heat for night operation. Airflow simulations accompany the build; output depends on irradiance, collector size and transparency, tower height and absorber type.
