Wind Power Up High

By on February 24, 2013 in Inventions

If we can generate energy from wind turbines on the ground, imagine what we could generate with a flying turbine in the sky.

Shepard describes the invention as half-windmill and half-kite. He credits his late father, David, for its creation.

“Just five miles above us there is energy far more than we need to power the whole world,” Shepard said in the interview.

As opposed to winds on the surface that ground-based wind generators use, the aim of the flying generator is to be between 5,000 and 10,000 feet to capture strong winds aloft.

With enough generators in the sky, Shepard said, “They would generate three times as much as the biggest nuclear facility in the United States currently does.”

    Very good idea with kite. I developed battery tech that would go good with your kites,due to the fact the batteries never wear out or at least in our lifetime. Furthermore this new battery technology does not utilize harmful chemical wet or dry, and energy that is saved does not dissipate over time, also energy charging capacity remains constant unlike conventional batteries. Did you know with conventional batteries including lithium ion, charging capacity is less even after first charge? May not be noticeable but nevertheless detectable,and continues throughout its short life span. Also the consumer that utilises solar panel tech must replace conventional batteries every few years”very ungreen” so where are the savings? And that is not even mentioning initial cost in startup yikes. Check out “DO YOU NEED A PARTNER” feature on this webpage and lets get America working again sheesh. I see investors would rather buy Elizabeth’s Taylors portrait instead for $8 million bucks, well just a warning to investors when we fall you will fall harder. FREELANCE ENGINEER… lets create jobs, jobs, jobs.
