So five kilometers of flailing inflatable tube man.
I get that the upwards wind force can sustain the fabric structure, but it is hard to imagine that it could also carry a bunch of huge turbines, as well as the cabling required to carry the generated electricity. Not to mention safety concerns. Does this seem unrealistic to anyone else?
Also, would it be possible to do a proof-of-concept using an existing man made structure like Burj Khalifa class skyscrapers? Presumably it would be easier to deploy a tube off the top of one of these than to build one from scratch.
