1. A system (100) to generate electricity, the system comprising:
a) a cylinder comprising a circular cylinder wall, an interior surface (114), an exterior surface (112), an upper end (115), a lower end (117), an upper void (116) defined by the circular cylinder wall at the upper end, and a lower void (118) defined by the circular cylinder wall at the lower end;
b) a first propeller disposed within the cylinder, the first propeller attached to a first rotational shaft (320), the first rotational shaft attached to a power generator, wherein the first propeller comprises a plurality of blades and each respective blade comprises a distal edge (360) and each respective distal edge is retained by a wind blade void (120) with the wind blade void defined within the inner surface of the cylinder wall; and
c) a wind and shaft support cone (200) disposed within the cylinder, wherein the system is configured to heat the air within the cylinder for continuous air flow to rotate the first propellor and the first rotational shaft to thereby generate the electricity.
