[Geysers] Air Geyser in Sweden

[Eric Hatfield]

So in self response, I found the full video on YouTube which shows several more "eruptions."  It also contains a bit of an explanation for my own question of how it works, and maybe gives some insight into the Minnesota phenomena.  In Swedish and English:

Vattnet rinner ner i ett schakt och vidare i en tunnel som är 17km (!) lång, och vid vårfloden så sugs det ned massvis med luft som tillslut åker tillbaka till öppningen, resultatet..ja videon säger allt. "Gejsern" varierar i storlek men ligger vanligtvis på c:a 60m ://: The water runs down a vertical shaft and then into a 17km long pipeline, in the spring the flood also drags down alot of air, and several times an hour the air shoots back up to the opening, causing a man-made geyser.

Here is a link to video of what one might call an "air geyser" in Sweden.  It looks very similar to the one circulated on this list 2 years ago from the Minneapolis-St. Paul area, that erupted from the middle of a highway.

The video allows you to comprehend the eruption's size.
