The prospect of kite power generation

After six years of painstaking research and applying for seven patents, he led a team of 20 people to design a giant carousel that can generate electricity. The team believes that this kind of equipment will be put into use in the next two years. Hipolito, 48, said, "It is called a revolution, but I see it as part of the future of new energy. Once photovoltaic power generation, photothermal power generation and kite wind turbines are effectively combined, we can try our best to meet the rising demand for global electricity consumption. "

Hipolito believes that because of its small coverage area but huge power generation, kite wind turbines will become the first choice for wind turbines, making them superior to glider generators and windmills and other similar projects. So far, this project looks promising. A small portable kite wind turbine named MobileGen (a kite towed by a flatbed truck) made progress in the test launch in August. Can produce a certain amount of energy, and there are a series of improvements. Hipolito said that the researchers' mood when they saw the generator running was beyond words. Nevertheless, the development prospect of kite wind turbine seems to be not smooth sailing. Although some people appreciate this concept, they still hold a wait-and-see attitude.
