Makani aimed to enable more people around the world to have access to clean, affordable wind power by developing energy kites, an airborne wind energy technology that used a wing tethered to a ground station, to efficiently harness energy from the wind.
Advocates envision wind farms hosting hundreds of kites floating on barges in deep waters far offshore, while single wings – or smaller arrays – could unfurl to help power remote islands ...
Driven by the wind, the automatically controlled power kite rises in figures of eight. As it gains altitude, it unwinds a tether from a winch on the ground. The tractive force drives a generator inside the winch that produces electricity.
15 sie 2019 · Makani energy kites produce electricity by harnessing energy efficiently from the wind. We're developing energy kites that use a wing tethered to a ground station to efficiently harness...
17 sty 2024 · An autopiloted, kite-based wind-energy generator pairs with its 400 kilowatt-hour battery pack for renewable, portable baseload power.
12 wrz 2022 · SkySails Power’s Airborne Wind Energy Systems (AWES) convert harnessed wind into power. The kites thrive in higher altitudes due to the lack of surface frict...
Power Kites: “Sending it” to New Heights. Automatic power kites are at our vision’s core. They can harness the wind’s untapped supplies at alti- tudes of up to 400 meters, and we were the first company in the world to develop an industrial application. Now, our solution is ready for scale-up.
