This thread may being growing legs of its own. Consider the updraft tube need not be lengthy nor have a diameter greater than
40-50 meters. based on 6:1 ratio. Schauberger once studied a variation of this.
 
A vortex can be induced at the base which would supercharge the draft. Hmmm.. I need to run a test on a tiny scale mockup to study  the spin. A reverse vortex may give better performance on a downdraft configuration.
 
Proper selection of the shape of the top of the riser tube can be important in that on an updraft tube ,the shape of the top acts as a ejector. Steam injection may make for instability.. or create the mother of all tornados.
 
Here Jed.. stand over here while we start this jalopy up... < grin>
