Wind power from the stratosphere: China’s flying
The turbines are driven by high-altitude winds, which blow three to four times faster at an altitude of 1,500 meters than on the ground. A physical advantage with a dramatic effect:
This flying wind turbine can pull power from high in
Now a company in China is exploring a new form factor: flying wind turbines. These zeppelin-like aircraft float high in the sky, tethered to the ground only by cables as they generate a nonstop
