Uses heat derived from vast glass houses to supply heated air to hot air balloons every one or two hours. The ascent of the balloon is cable controlled and the latent power in the cable during ascent is used to drive a d.c. electrical motor. The electricity produced by the motor can also be used for sea water desalination. The heat is derived from glass houses the ground surface of which is carpeted with a black body and whose dimensions are of the order of km<2>. The air contained in the glass houses, is every one or two hours, transferred into hot air balloons having a volume of the order of several hm<3> to several dozen hm<3>, containing several thousand ton's of air, which will travel a distance of several kilometers into the high troposphere. The air output, for a diameter and height of 50 meters operates on the principal of a solar chimney, so as to expel air without the need for fans The tare of the balloon is equal to or less than zero by the fitting of balloons filled with lighter than air gas. The base for balloon depart and return is a 50 meter circle and control is done by cable. A d.c. machine operating normally as a generator transforms the ascension power of the balloon and its cable into electrical energy.
