       external combustion electricity generation

       I had this idea for a electricity generator. (kind of like a
       rocket stove,  boiler,  steam engine, , and pma....minus the
       boiler and steam engine) kind of a solar updraft tower w/o the
       sun.
       Basically its a inverted cone about 10 ft diameter,  with the
       air supply port ringed with multiple horizontal axis turbines or
       one large squirrel cage vawt. build a fire in  the center and
       the electricity is generated from the draw. Pma's could be
       single phase units wired in parallel. there would be doors to
       tend the fire and remove ashes.
       happy thanksgiving. :)

       A jet turbine works on this principle, sort of.  It will take a
       lot of fire to make a substantial draft in your concept drawing.
       If you flip this upside down it reminds me of the German
       Christmas decoration where the Angels go around tinging little
       bells due to the upward draft from candles.
       Merry Christmas
