: electrical current from the thermic column and ambient vortexs caused by the motion of traffic?

No. Although it blows the hell out of you, there is little energy in the air given off by traffic. It's very chaotic, it blows at you from a dozen differant directions. Good for messing your hair, scaring the bejezus out of cyclists and making Winnebagos wobble, bad for generating power or blowing over vegetation.

Sure.
However, things are relative. The vortex created by a passing car isn't very strong, so the current generated would also be weak.

No and I have no idea what thermic columns and ambient vortexes are.. They sound like made up terms.

It depends on how hot the asphalt is and the movement of air over it. I assume you are attempting to generate movement through heat waves.
The other variable is the weight and size of the propellars.
It is an interesting concept. Good Luck

Of course. But it probably won't be in enough quantity to be useful.
