No no, instead of reintegrating the steam to the ocean as water or other use, they are sending it to the atmosphere, contributing to the climate change.

Solar towers are better because they can run during night, winter snow times, al lthat maters is surface temp higher then 3200 feet high.

I'm afraid that building it will take as much energy as it will ever deliver.

Was it just me that got flash-backs of the death star, (or even the home planet of the transformers)?

great research, that probably will get a serious boost next oil crisis..just one thing with the air suspension, especially at sea where a safety construction would have to float, imagine if for some reason the pressure drops, it would be an expensive mess of bent pipes....

@fisioserv it would be better and more efficient to use a system of mirrors that can heat oil that can then go to as themal storage tank filled with salt to store heat the water pipes used by normal power stations can then run through the salt heat store creating heat 24/7 as the sun dosn't shine at night and massive amounts of heat can be generated during the day, this would be slightly less effiecent due to two energy transfers but is possible today easily with modern technology.

@SkuIICrusherGhost and within a decade you might be able to stand on wallstreet and be in the middle of an ocean.

@vengencefrom1979 I Had the Plesure of digging down 48'' (below the frost line)
in the mountains of northern New York.
Untouched land by man, i dug up 2 very large rocks
loaded with Fossils of Sea Shells.
To Think at one time i was standing at the bottom of a sea.
The Earth is Always Changing !!

@SkuIICrusherGhost that is too easy
We have so many deserts, why not use them to generate electricity, (photovoltaics or others)then by constructing them say 5m above the ground then the temperature underneath would cool down making it easier for humans to work or live in such an environment. or grow trees etc. I believe deserts could be the solution to pollution in the future.

Yes not a good idea. but you could use this islands for 'solar panels' and the steam could be used, as I saw on another video, to heat some amount of sea water, together with cold sea water could create a machine that generates even more electricity and with little or no extra steam could be used forever, so you only need to start it and practically will work itself, really beautiful machine. I'll post a link/video when I get it.
