Wind Tower Uses Sun’s
Heat to Generate Electricity
W ind generators are great for producing electricity —
unless there isn’t any wind.
But lack of wind isn’t an insurmountable problem,
according to a group of UA Engineering students. They’ve
been experimenting with a design that doesn’t depend on
the vagaries of natural wind. Instead, their design produces
its own airflow by trapping heat from the sun and then
allowing the heated air to escape through a chimney-like
tower to an area of lower pressure and cooler air.
The students built a scale model to test their theories and
to develop a set of scaling laws to accurately predict the
power output of a “wind tower,” depending on its diameter,
collector area, height and many other factors.
“Wind towers are not like solar cells, where you power a
house,” said Mechanical Engineering senior Andy Lovelace.
“We’re talking about competing with a gas- or coal-fired
power plant.”
In 1982, engineers built a small-scale wind tower in
Spain that ran for eight years. It had a 640-foot-tall tower,
and a maximum output of about 50 kilowatts.
“My friend, Rudi Bergermann, developed the plant in
Manzanares, Spain and brought this concept to my atten-

Brown Family Foundation provides
$1 million scholarship endowment
T he Thomas R. Brown Family Foundation has established
a $1 million endowment in the College of Engineering
that will fund scholarships for National Merit Scholars.
The endowment will support annual scholarships, renew-
able for four years, to qualified National Merit Scholars and
continues in perpetuity the support that the Brown family
initiated in 2002 in UA’s College of Engineering and Eller
College of Management.
The Brown Foundation has made annual gifts of $50,000
to each college since 2002 to fund students who are studying
both technology and management.
Kara Monsen, a senior in Civil Engineering and a Brown
Scholarship recipient since 2003, says support from the
Brown family has allowed her to enrich her education. “I
decided to take a minor in Spanish and that is requiring
another year of school,” she said. “I wouldn’t be able to afford
that last year if it weren’t for the scholarships I’ve had for four
years.” Besides the Brown Scholarship, Monsen has qualified
