Abstract

An apparatus and a method for generating energy are provided. The method comprises the steps of creating a downward flow of air through a first conduit (1) having an upper end (3) and a lower end (4), an air inlet being arranged at or near the upper end, controlling the relative humidity of the air in at least the first conduit at a predetermined level, heating the air at or near the lower end of the first conduit, creating an upward flow of the heated air through a second conduit (2) having a lower end (5) and an upper end (6), an air outlet being arranged at or near the upper end, and utilizing the energy content of the heated air.
