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 […]

He envisions harvesting power from high altitude winds, where the intensity is huge compared to the one on the ground, that current wind mills produce.
