Power from a high wire
http://www.makanipower.com/
Makani Power is developing Airborne Wind Turbines (AWT) to extract
energy from powerful, consistent winds at altitude. Makani AWT's will produce
energy at an unsubsidized real cost competitive with coal-fired power plants,
the current benchmark of the lowest cost source of power. This website highlights the rigorous small-scale testing program Makani has
undertaken to demonstrate core functionality and validate performance
expectations for the M1, Makanis first utility-scale 1 MW system.
