Some years ago an article in New Scientist had an article on using this setup
for passive air conditioning in hot countries.
Several drums welded together ( same as your thoughts ) connected to a hole in the house wall to draw air through.
Also there were tests done in israel ( I think ) using a monster tower to do much the same thing.
They had to drizzle cold water from the top in order to provoke an adequate airflow to turn a turbine.Not sure of the results,it was a long time ago and I never heard anymore about it.
Not much good in the UK.
Anyone got a genny running on rubbish weather generated misery and depression :(
Regards
Mike
