Hi All,
There is a man in New Zealand who in fact invented something working along
this idea.
He claims and I have not seen it working that to do this you have to make a
ball 20 feet in diameter with small holes top and bottom.
Your turbine is the size of the ball 20 feet diameter and he claims that
the pressure differential of 20 feet is sufficient to drive an alternator.
Now I, again in my life's wandering, have also once cleaned a chimney stack
!!! 100 foot high and while in this stack never got sucked into the air!! I
did have to climb the bloody thing but did find a continual draft flowing
past us so indeed there is an airflow which can be calculated quite simply
by taking barometric pressure readings top and bottom.
This sound a bit like suspending a wire from the stratosphere. You would be
able to use this for running your gadgets. But who is going to provide the
skyhook ?
