Abstract

A kinetic structure 100 comprising at least one sunlight receiving means 106 mounted on a movable support member 104, said sunlight receiving means comprising conversion means for generating electrical energy when exposed to sunlight, a storage means 110 for storing said electrical energy generated by said sunlight receiving means, a controller 112 arranged to receive electrical energy directly from said storage means and deliver said electrical energy to functional components 114 of the installation, whereby said functional components deliver functions dependent on the environmental conditions of the environment in which the structure is located, and a sensor 116 for sensing said environmental conditions of said installation, whereby, responsive to the environmental conditions, the support member of the at least one sunlight receiving means is moved from an open position to a closed position 120. The functional units may be lighting, or sound production means. Further disclosed is a rain water collection and storage device. A wind power generator and thermal chimney may also be incorporated into the apparatus. An embodiment comprises an air evaporative cooling means for generating cool air that may be pumped to seating means arranged around the device 100.
