It is believed kites can replace wind turbine technology.
Sounds Jules Verne:
The technology is simple. Two kites are tethered to a spool. As they soar at speeds of around 100 miles per hour in figures of eight, they pull cables which turn the drum, rather like an unrolling spool of thread. This generates electricity. As one kite descends, the other rises, so electricity is generated continually.
Famous last word \"simple.\"
