The idea of using the winds of the upper atmosphere to produce energy has been put forward about four decades ago, but in While it was technically not feasible. Now, using new materials and advanced technology, on the realization of the idea of working a few companies. Energy Joby - one of them. Its design is similar to a huge kite that supports a lot of turbines.
The push required for vertical take-off kite is made of motor generators associated with the turbines, and the orientation of the wind monitoring computer, which differentially regulates the speed of the rotor to keep it, if you move in a circle. Winds passing through the turbine generators are forced to work at high speed. Electricity generated by the turbines is transmitted to the base via a leash made of composite materials, which strengthens the entire structure to the ground on earth.
Initial tests were conducted at an altitude of 600 meters to the formulation of about 30 kW of energy. However, the turbines are designed to work them into the upper atmosphere, where the wind is much stronger and, consequently, power generation will be much greater. The second factor to boost power, driven by higher numbers of turbines, mounted on mnogokrylom snake.
Mr. Bevirt of Energy Joby company said that the system is designed to withstand strong winds and the period of complete absence of wind. She is able to take off and land, depending on weather conditions. The design takes into account various emergency situations up to break the cable and the refusal of several systems. The ultimate goal is to expand such power in the world to produce a supply of cheap and clean electricity.
