Oh...now they are 200' wide...not 50x200'
Oh...BTW...still not wide enough. Remember you need a 250 wide CYLINDER tunnel to get 330 million cu feet per hour.
Which means you still don't know how to do math. At 200', it has to move at about 6 mph. How are you going to boost it the extra 1 mph?
Again who says they have to be cylinders?
Anybody who works in engineering.
They can be engineered to be rectangular also.
