If a constant air flow is needed to keep the chimney upright, what will happen during the night, when the desert cools down?

- ajmurmann 9y agoThat is a very good question. I was wondering about this myself but guessed that the upper atmosphere will still be significantly colder.
- undersuit 9y agoThe video shows the chimneys mostly being built in deserts and their table has an example of 2km tall chimneys working on only a 20 °C difference. If you're building in a place where the winters or nights are particularly cold you should just built higher to exploit the colder temperatures further in the troposphere.
