It would be good to differentiate the problems and challenges here. I mean "problem" means it will not work whatever. A "challenge" means it will require some new technical solutions to develop.
What "problems" do you see ? :-) Some things you mentioned are addressed in "Construction <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OYm9_8Ilhq_UUpj8arNUcEfEUihixVJOGzPuD-X7t9o>" document here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1OYm9_8Ilhq_UUpj8arNUcEfEUihixVJOGzPuD-X7t9o/edit > The device would require mechanical propulsion to make a difference To start it will require some push, then it should work itself. The source of the energy is a little bit described in "Calculations <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FssIoTFGGF2gB-zKm8GqDMOjrDUqpYcT4pNrIWFZ6ww>" document here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1FssIoTFGGF2gB-zKm8GqDMOjrDUqpYcT4pNrIWFZ6ww/edit > there's nothing to stop air reaching the stratosphere at present Yes, it is a good question. What actually that tower is doing? How can it make difference? I think it isolates the "packets" of the air that goes up. So that "latent energy of water vapor" stays in the packet, makes it different from outside air.
