Summary
Proposes a conceptual device that adds an expansion cyclone separator at the base of a solar chimney: a strongly rotating vortex cools greenhouse-heated air below its dew point so atmospheric moisture condenses and can be collected as fresh water. The chimney updraft powers the separation, any leftover power can generate electricity, and a theoretical analysis supports feasibility and calls for experiments.
