Every once in a while, scientists publish the strangest of things that often makes others sit and wonder how on Earth could anyone think of such idea. In anyway, any scientifically […]

The system has two components. One is a set of turbines attached to a kite that generates electricity. The other is a ground-based generator connected to the kite and powered by the kite’s motion. The reeling phase […]
