KiteGen technology generates energy from winds using kites

Wind turbines today don’t really exploit the energy of the winds to its fullest, simply due to the fact that these are closer to ground, away from the areas where the winds blow the hardest, up in the sky. KiteGen instead, puts wind-energy generators in the sky, using large wings (or kites) driven by avionic sensors located in a dome base that also houses an electric generator. The intelligent control systems automatically guide the kites in order to rotate the turbine and maximize torque enabling the kites to make full use of the winds.

Also, unlike traditional wind farms that take up about 250 to 300 kilometers of space per 1000W, these kites take up just 5 to 6 kilometers square for the same energy generation output, making the KiteGen technology a revolutionary breakthrough in renewable energy generation.
