You both are correct That it is indeed Enviromission that uses a expansive collector zone that heats air then passes it up the tower through the turbines. The Solar Towers that use the mirrors are in spain and is by a company named abengoa who has created a subsidiary called Solucar Power that constructed the Mirror Type Solar tower that focuses its mirrors on a part of the tower that contains pipes with water, thus the heated water creates steam to run the turbines resulting in energy. Thank you gentlemen for keeping People well informed and us of our errors so we only post the correct information. Muffy and Chad, I stand corrected.

Enviromission is not one of them, at least not that I'm aware of and I've owned shares in the company for a number of years and have kept up with their development work. Can you point to a company report that shows progress towards using the mirror focus technique? There are companies out there that use mirrors to focus sunlight to generate heat.

Like you said ones with a skirt around them to capture the heat and run turbines as well as the one I was talking about where they use mirrors to focus on a certain point on the tower that heats water in pipes which lets off pressurized steam to drives the turbines.

It is indeed a great concept. The principle involves no mirrors. The, "skirt around the base causes the air to heat and rise toward the centre. At the base are turbines.

Good to know that initiative is being taken to make better use of the resources provided us freely (i.e., the sun) without the need to irreparably harm the earth to feed our energy needs.
