A great idea Rock.We need someone with natural gas pipeline experience to comment.The idea could lead to filtering 401 traffic thru various sized cylindrical tunnels to capture the air flow, like a pea shooter, but the cars or trucks are the self propelled peas...down hill of course<ggg> gg

Cold Energy .. I wonder if there are any existing abandoned or soon to be underutilized oil or natural gas pipelines of sufficient diameter, length, and elevation change to test this idea/concept ??? Was there a "breeze" blowing thru the Alaska pipeline while it was under construction and the ends open to the atmosphere ??? If this concept is valid, why not use TBMs ( tunnel boring machines ) and run the conduit/pipeline below ground ... at least we'd get some geothermal energy from it if the pressure differential wind concept proves to be bogus <gg> .. avoids the right of way problems too .. Triff ..
