The theme sounds simple . If winding are stronger than 10 kilometer up in the zephyr , why not build a power plant that can harness that vim ? That ’s what Cali - based Sky WindPower is proposing with their flying power plants . But how would these works work and more significantly , how much Johnny Cash would be keep open ? Well , the ideas is to … .
accommodate each plant with four rotor to sustain them in the melody ( they ’d essentially appear like henry - shaped kite ) and in the process these rotors would also mother electrical energy , which would be transmitted back to the priming via aluminum cablegram . To keep the plant from flying off , they ’d be tether to the earth . Sky WindPower claim they ’d be able to generate electricity at 2 penny per kilowatt hour ( versus 3 - 5 centime from conventional means ) . The downside of course is keep the generators . Otherwise , prototypes are expected as betimes as next class .
