Abstract

An energy conversion system which includes at least one chimney having an up-run following the contour of a hill side, the chimney having a lower air inlet and an upper air outlet, means for effecting a flow of air from said inlet to said outlet, an engine associated with the chimney, and drive means for the engine arranged for operation by the air flow so that energy of the air flow is used to drive the engine characterised in that part of the up-run is an excavated length of the hillside.
