Flying Windmills

Submitted by Will on Sunday, 29 July 2007No Comment

Flying windmills could harness the jet-stream to generate electricity.

I like the idea of harnessing ocean currents better then having flying windmills tethered to the ground and flying in the wind. Just my preference.

From New Scientist:

“If we were able to tap 1% of the wind energy at high altitude, that would be enough to supply all the world’s energy needs,” says David Shepard, president of renewable energy startup Sky WindPower, in Coronado, California.

Flying windmills could harness the jet stream - earth - 26 July 2007 - New Scientist Environment.
