Researchers in Jordan and Qatar have come up with a remarkable design for a “twin technology solar system” (TTSS) capable of generating clean energy 24/7. This double-action design promises more than twice as much energy as a standard solar updraft tower. As its name suggests, the TTSS combines two tower-style technologies into a single design: a solar updraft tower and a cooling downdraft tower. […]
