Solar Wind Energy Tower (SWET) has announced that it has released a report explaining "How the Evaporatively Driven Downdraft Power Production System Works." One of the atmosphere's more dynamic systems is the severe downdraft (sometimes called a microburst or downburst) of a thunderstorm, in which rapidly sinking air (kinetic energy) is produced by the evaporation of the rain produced by the storm.

Schaeffler has developed a new, compact bearing unit for moment bearing concepts in rotor bearing supports. The flange-mounted tapered roller bearing unit allows all forces and moments in a bearing to be safely supported due to the large pressure angle and tight axial guidance of the rotor. The double row tapered roller bearing unit in O arrangement, with grease lubrication and seals, is supplied pre-assembled.
