In late 1943, Pyke presented Mountbatten with a detailed memorandum spanning nearly fifty pages. The document outlined his innovative solution to the challenge of unloading supplies from ships in regions lacking proper ports and accessible roads, a common scenario in the Pacific theater during World War II. This logistical issue was pivotal in the decision to launch the Normandy landings in 1943, where the beaches lacked harbors and faced a significant tidal range.

Pyke's concept involved utilizing pipes, similar to those used for fuel transport from ships to shore, to convey sealed containers capable of holding various small items. He proposed using pipes of 4 to 6 inches for smaller equipment and two-foot pipes for larger objects. His idea didn't limit the pipes to the shoreline; they could extend inland as needed. Bernal cautiously supported the idea, noting it required extensive investigation.

Additionally, Pyke suggested expanding his concept to transport personnel using larger pipes, at least two feet in diameter, under high pressure. He addressed logistical challenges such as supplying oxygen to passengers and mitigating claustrophobia through pair travel and the use of sedatives. He argued that the discomfort of traveling through such pipes would be far less than that of parachute jumps or aerial bombardment.

Pyke envisioned his "Power-Driven Rivers" system for moving people not only from ship to shore but also between islands, across swamps, over mountains, and in any terrain where traditional transport was impractical. Despite his proposals, the idea was never implemented.
