Wind turbines are ginormous machines. Ampyx Power thinks it can produce the same amount of energy with nothing but a small glider flying figure-eights, 2,000 feet up in the air.

Check this out, Highest Wind deploys a 10-foot by 30-foot kite called the energy glider tethered to a 30-foot aerie or base. When the wind picks up, the energy glider flies upwards of 1,200 feet ...

Wind turbine towers have become a familiar sight in many parts of the world, but if Ampyx Power has its way, they could be replaced with fleets of tethered drones that harness the energy of high ...

Norwegian Wind Energy developer Kitemill has secured more than €2m of funding from Dutch investment entity Expanding ... The company’s technology generates power using a tethered glider, which ...

These systems typically harness wind energy at higher altitudes (between 200 and 1,000 meters) using tethered flying devices such as kites, drones, or gliders. They can access stronger and more ...

A helium-filled shell with a wind turbine in the middle, the Buoyant Air Turbine from Altaeros has already been tested to 500 feet off the ground in 45 mph winds. Now it's set to break the world ...

AUSTIN, Texas — Google will begin flying tethered wind turbines next month that can continuously generate 600 kilowatts of power. During a keynote address at South by Southwest (SXSW) here today ...

Wind turbine towers have become a familiar sight in many parts of the world, but if Ampyx Power has its way, they could be replaced with fleets of tethered drones. Supported by ESA’s Navigation ...
