They wouldn't have to run a significant pipeline to prove or disprove this concept. That should be rather easy to do on smaller scale field test or in simulated laboratory conditions.

One thing that makes me wonder if this is just bunk is the fact that noone has proposed it before. Most other renewable energy technologies have their origins in crude proposals from many decades ago. Why did we have to wait until 2005 to come up with this idea?

Perhaps some with phsycics or engineering backgrounds can shed some light on whether this ACM idea is practical.

On the surface it sounds like it makes sense. We all know that air tries to find the lowest pressure, as we've witnessed many times during storms. But, can this wind energy actually be channeled and used to generated electricity? I do not know?!?
