  • Please make a comparison chart with other renewal sources like wind farms

  • It is awesome but have you addressed flight in bad weather?

  • EnergyKiteSystems

    is featuring such and more. All are welcome

    UpperWindpower invites your announcements.

    Over 104 entities are streaming toward effective airborne wind energy conversion systems (AWECS) . The upper wind power density resource is waiting for us.

  • Great job guys!

  • Feeling queezy from the onboard cam! Super impressive work though....

  • @digidev That's an apples and oranges comparison - this isn't intended to be a residential system, and moreover this is just a testing prototype, not a commercial scale system. The efficiency comes from a large swept area using less materials (as opposed to a turbine on a tower), and being able to reach higher altitudes with higher windspeeds.

  • 3 to 6 Kwh?? so what makes it more efficient than a skystream?
