Makani Power Autonomous Flight. June 18, 2010

The curve shows the cyclic variation of power is between about 5 to 10 KW.Is it a problem for grid connection?

Yesterday I watched 'Powering the Future' on Discovery Channel. This company was one of many with innovative ideas. When I saw the video of the plane/kite on the show which they were struggling to control, i had an idea that i wanted to share with them. I googled the website, tried and tried to contact somebody, but the site is blocked, authorized users only. I wish they would let average shmucks send 'em an e mail that might improve on their idea.

@CoLoradoBLuezBrother Thanks for your comments. Alas, we are just a bunch of average schmucks ourselves—there are only sixteen of us—and we simply do not have manpower for receiving ideas, however good. We're usually out working on our hardware (as you can see from our video, we have already figured out autonomous flight, despite Discovery's coverage otherwise).
