2. Energy tower (downdraft) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_tower_(downdraft)

   An energy tower (also known as a downdraft energy tower, because the air flows down the tower) is a tall (1,000 meters) and wide (400 meters) hollow cylinder with a water spray system at the top. Pumps lift the water to the top of the tower and then spray the water inside the tower. Evaporation of water cools the hot, dry air hovering at the top.
