Svetlana,
Your concept may combine well with Dr. Salter's cloud seeding ship approach.
Check with some stakeholders in ship propulsion systems - the people making kite sails for cargo ships, California Air Pollution Control Board, cargo ship operators. Have handy some dimensions for the 1MW and 10MW versions.
It should be possible to use lighter-than-air wing foil cross-sections instead of spherical balloons to support the pipe. Wing sections, oriented either horizontally, or vertically, or angled, open the possibility of combining wind-sail power with wind-up-the-pipe power. Cargoship kite-sail designers may be able to design-construct a sail that doubles as a pipe with relatively little material, perhaps only occasionally needing the lighter-than-air feature.

Subject: [geo] Power-generating system to transfer heat from Earth to
upper troposphere

Hi all,My Bachelor thesis is related to the topic of this group.It involved modelling a power-generating system located between the Earth surface and the upper layers of the troposphere, an important side effect of operation of which is direct cooling of the atmosphere through those layers, working against global warming directly. Within the model assumptions, the system works.Please look here:I want to continue this work as postgraduate research, can anybody please advise how I can find a university and researcher that can be interested in this topic?During the initial stage, the model has a lot of approximations and simplifications which may be investigated as a part of postgraduate research, for example, phase transitions in negative temperatures, flow viscosity and details of the engineering task of holding the construction weight.Regards,Svetlana Thachenko.--
