TED: Wind Energy from Kites
Saul Griffith’s TED talk shows how high altitude kites can be used as turbines to create renewable energy.
His company Makani Power seeks to make this happen.
Brief blurb…
why high-altitude wind?
Along with solar, wind represents the only renewable source of energy that is substantially larger than the world’s current energy needs. Moreover, of all of the renewable energy technologies (wind, solar, tidal, hydroelectric, biomass, geothermal), high-altitude wind has the largest energy per square foot. Capturing a small fraction of the global high-altitude wind energy flux could be sufficient to supply the current energy needs of the globe. Makani is developing high-altitude wind energy extraction technologies aimed at the most powerful wind resources.
