SolarMission Solar Tower Video
SolarMission Technologies (OTC: EVOMY.PK, ASX: EVM.AX) and its Australian subsidiary, EnviroMission Limited produced this 5 minute video about its early pilot plant in Spain. It is an older video (2000) but gives a basic understanding of the solar tower concept. The designs have changed and technologies added, but it gives an introduction to the solar tower concept.I don't know how the economics of this work out (and whether it is competitive with PV and other solar technologies), but I was amazed to find out that it allows plants and grasses to grow beneath it in what was before a barren desert.
