Expand Expanding CloseThis 330kW battery generator uses a giant kite to charge itself
If you had to read that headline twice, let me assure you: I had to read Kitepower’s website a few times myself. The concept of harnessing the wind for power is positively ancient, but it usually comes in the form of a fixed wind-catching surface rotating a driven mass (aka a windmill). Kitepower is doing something very different. The best way to describe it is probably a “wind winch.”
