ANNAPOLIS, MD - May 4, 2011 (InvestorIdeas.com Newswire) - Clean Wind Energy Tower, Inc. (OTCBB: CWET) (the "Company") announced that the Company had filed with the United States Patent & Trademark Office "A Petition to Make Special Under the Accelerated Examination Program," a patent application titled Atmospheric Energy Extraction Devices and Methods. The application covers the addition of specific external design components, physical structure and systems that both substantially enhances structural integrity of the tower and captures wind directly striking the external vertical surfaces of the downdraft tower from any direction, beyond those winds already induced into the internal tube of the tower, and also enhances slow moving air to create downburst winds, substantially increasing total power generation of a single tower unit.

 John W. Hanback, Chief Technology Officer, stated, "This patent application is the second of many, as we previously stated, that we would file in order to protect our innovative technological approach to producing clean power from the wind, and also to continue to substantiate the value of our technology. As with our previous application, the claims embodied within this application are also directed toward creating very efficient power generation at low capital costs."

Ronald W. Pickett, Chairman and CEO, stated, "We believe this patent application provides enormous benefits and advantages to our Dual Renewable Energy solution by creating an additional multiple to our power base during the variety of atmospheric fluctuations in temperature, humidity and wind direction over the course of a season."
