Sorry Frank, 
What happened was I subscribe to both the strawbale and the cob news 
group and I got a bit mixed up. Been out there pounding my sandbag 
dome too much I suppose. 
anyway
Someone on the strawbale list ask if anyone one had put in a Solar 
Chimney on their house.  I am familiar with the idea of a wind 
tunnels as used in the middle east because we covered that subject 
while at Cal-Earth in Calif.  The message mentioned Solar chimmey's 
were effective in hot climates. So I was just trying to clarify if 
Solar chimmey's and wind tunnel's are the same.  

Hope this cleared up the mysterious subject.
