Innovative Renewable Energy Technology

The Solar Wind Downdraft Tower is a hollow cylinder reaching skyward into the hot dry atmosphere heated by the solar rays of the sun. The water introduced by the injection system evaporates and is absorbed by the hot dry air which has been heated by the solar rays of the sun. The air becomes cooler, denser and heavier than the outside warmer air and falls through the cylinder at speeds up to and in excess of 50 mph and is diverted into wind tunnels surrounding the base of the Tower where turbines inside the tunnels power generators to produce electricity.

In geographic areas where atmospheric conditions are conducive, the exterior of the Solar Wind Downdraft Tower may be constructed with vertical “wind vanes” that capture the prevailing wind and channel it to produce supplemental electrical power. This dual renewable energy resource enhances the capability and productivity of the Solar Wind Energy system.

Abundant, Clean, Affordable Electricity Production

The Company has successfully managed to economize the Tower, reducing capital costs and improving projected financial performance. This development was made possible by utilizing our recently announced software which can calculate and predict energy production by our Solar Wind Downdraft Towers given local weather data. By feeding the weather data into the program, the Tower’s height and diameter can be adjusted along with the amount of water added as fuel to create a desired amount of energy. The outcome dictates the optimum size of the Tower’s height and width.

Under the most recent design specifications, the first San Luis Tower has a design capacity on an hourly basis, of up to 1,250 megawatt hours, gross. Due to lower capacities during winter days, the average hourly output per day for sale to the grid for the entire year is approximately 435 megawatt hours.

Economic Benefits

Jobs Created - Since the Solar Wind Downdraft Tower will be constructed using conventional materials, equipment and techniques, associated industries surrounding each Tower site will benefit significantly from the creation of professional manufacturing, construction and transportation jobs. The Solar Wind Energy Downdraft Tower will provide clean renewable energy at a cost more favorable than nuclear plants with no negative impacts to our planet.

Business Model

The Business Model is to create an Energy Compound of Towers to be developed individually with a common water supply and rail/water port for supplies and equipment delivery, and common component assembly plant and labor force.  Energy Compounds could actually be developed simultaneously in North America, N. Africa (to serve the European grid by piping direct current across the Med), India and the Mid-East.  The world market can support all the materials needed and can certainly use the electricity.  The cost per kilowatt is similar to that of a typical coal or gas-fired facility. SWET has positioned itself to take advantage of this solution and bring the first project to market, thereby setting the stage for a global “game changing” opportunity.

Global Energy Generation Calculator

The Company  has developed a software based analytical program to determine the energy generation capabilities of its Solar Wind Downdraft Towers based on the climate in geographic locations around the world, and has taken the  appropriate steps to protect its  intellectual property invention. This essential tool has been under development by the Company for over one year and applies “known” scientific meteorology data of a specific area to the Solar Wind Downdraft Tower’s variables in order to determine and project energy outputs on a daily basis. Advancements in the scientific community over the last decade that predict and pin-point specific weather conditions provided significant insights to the development of this innovative tool.

This analytical tool, combined with our proprietary operating systems technology and existing core patents, clearly provides the Company with a unique opportunity to allow global positioning of this alternative solution to the world’s energy needs. Solar Wind Energy can now rapidly respond to a request from virtually any country reasonably suitable to host a project and determine specifically where the Solar Wind Downdraft Tower should be located, the size of the Tower and the amount of electricity it can produce.

Carbon Credit Assets

The Company has engaged a consultant to analyze, assess and prepare an application for the Company to market the potential Carbon Credits which will result from a planned project in Mexico and Investment Tax Credits that should result from a project in Arizona. During the past year, the Company has significantly refined and downsized the proposed initial Tower design and secured zoning for a Tower project in San Luis, Arizona, which the Company determined was not eligible for international Carbon Credits but was eligible for Investment Tax Credits. For this reason, the Company has chosen to engage one firm to pursue both financial opportunities. The Company is in the process of valuing the Carbon Credits based on the current location guidelines for the project in Mexico. Investment Tax Credits for the Arizona project are conservatively projected, based on IRS guidelines, to be in excess of $250M.

Project Partnering

The Company’s business plan involves “partnering” with various entities  such as utilities, sovereign nations and independent power sources, to provide the ability to bring this solution to the market as rapidly as possible. Each Solar Wind Downdraft Tower is its own independent project. Solar Wind Energy’s involvement in each project is to facilitate the Tower’s development with its expertise and intellectual property. Solar Wind Energy will receive development fees, licensing fees, and royalties on power sales from each project and/or ownership interests.

Coordinated World Class Expertise

SWET has located a site for its first Tower here in the USA and received key patents to protect its techniques to extract the energy from the Solar Wind Downdraft Tower.  Some of the best consultants in the world have been and continue to support SWET's efforts to bring this first Downdraft Tower to market for example:

Whiting-Turner

The Company has entered into a Teaming Agreement with the Whiting - Turner Contracting Company, a large major national contractor and construction management organization to assist us in project planning, advanced value engineering and budget and project scheduling.

Commonwealth Dynamics

The Company has entered into a Teaming Agreement with Commonwealth Dynamics, Inc. a major international contractor specializing in the design and construction of tall reinforced concrete structures to assist us in the final design and construction techniques for the Downdraft Tower.

Kroll Cranes S/A of Denmark (www.krollcranes.dk)

Has worked closely for over two years to create a tower crane system and equipment elevator lift system that would guarantee the construction of the Tower in a timely/predictable manner.

Lead Consultants from Renowned Meteorological and Wind Schools

Have been and will continue to provide the computerized technical data which has measured the predictable wind speeds and pressure created by the Tower.

The law Firm - Holland & Knight

Has guided the company and advised on energy policy as well as political policy since inception.

First Solar Wind Downdraft Tower

The first site is in San Luis, AZ on the Mexico/US border.  SWET has a temporary permit from the US Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation to conclude the necessary zoning and is preparing to conduct the site evaluations and proceed with the NEPA process. The weather data has been updated for the first sites and final reports accurately calculate the Tower's output capacity 24/7. Those reports now support and validate SWET’s goal to develop its first Tower at the minimum size and design output possible, which preserves cash flow of 2:1 for debt service coverage.

Concurrently, we have been exploring other site opportunities and in October, the Company signed a Letter of Intent (“LOI”) to enter into a Definitive Agreement to purchase a 3,200 acre site in Mexico that has the ideal attributes required for the Company’s Downdraft Tower.  The Company intends to build and operate two Clean Wind Energy Downdraft Towers on this site. The proposed property is located in a particularly exceptional area for the development of these projects as it possesses suitable access, along with the required topography. The land purchase is subject to the seller providing clear title and unrestricted access to the property as well as acquiring all of the needed prerequisites and approvals for the implementation of the Downdraft Towers including access to the power grid and the Company securing a satisfactory Power Purchase Agreement. The Company is investigating and evaluating alternative sites in Mexico in the vicinity of this location with similar attributes.
