SolarAir™ Cylinder - Electric Energy Calculation Tool
The purpose of this tool is to calculate the amount of potential power of our new green energy solar technology. The input parameters provided below represent the properties and dimensions of the cylinder, bottom section below the cylinder, turbine wind blade system, and ambient air temperature with thermal radiation included in the calculation. These input parameters can be changed and estimates can be recalculated.
Cylinder Material
Cylinder Temperature (°F)
Cylinder Diameter (ft)
Cylinder Height (ft)
Explanation: Cylinder Wall Temperature is heated to 1100 °F from the solar collectors.
Bottom Material
Bottom Temperature (°F)
Bottom Diameter (ft)
Explanation: Bottom Temperature is heated to 1100 °F from the solar collectors. This bottom section is calculated as a flat disk some distance below the cylinder.
Turbine Blade Efficiency
Mech. Shaft Efficiency
Elec. Conversion Efficiency
Explanation: Turbine Blade systems capture wind power at approximately 33% efficiency. Turbine Blade motion is converted to Mechanical Shaft Power at approximately 95% efficiency. Mechanical Shaft Power is converted to Electrical Power at approximately 95% efficiency.
Ambient Air Temperature (°F)
Thermal Radiation
Explanation: Ambient Air Temperature refers to the temperature of the surrounding air in a particular environment. Thermal Radiation is the emission of heat energy coming off the cylinder wall and bottom section in the form of invisible electromagnetic waves.
