KiteGen’s High Altitude System Produces Wind Energy Using Kites!

Kites were long being discussed as the future of wind power, and #-Link-Snipped-# may have just mirrored the future. Flying at high altitudes, the large-winged kites can produce clean inexpensive energy to the tunes of gigawatts, so to say. The kites are controlled using a high-tech system having avionic sensors. Once the wind is put to use, KiteGen's electric generation plants start working to produce gigawatts of energy, at lesser price than the fossil energy generation plants.

The company has configured this system as the KiteGen Stem and the KiteGen Carousel. The Stem arrangement has the kite-wings pulling the cables, which then activate the alternators present in the ground, thereby generating electricity. The Carousel arrangement has a series of KiteGen generators combined, where kites circling at a height of 800m-1000m activate the large scale alternators, pressed down to have force exerted on them. The full capacity of this arrangement can produce power for 5000 hours every year.
