About

Kite Turbines are low-cost portable wind power. Production is simple and only requires a small workshop. The turbine is mechanically autonomous. We use a backline and network for safer operation. The kite turbine has superb power/mass nearly 1kW/kg in our early tests. Manual launch, operation and recovery is easy for systems under 2kW. With modular networked blades - Our workshop facility requirement stays small as the systems scale. We are looking for partnership to develop. The Kite Turbine network design has no single point failure and no running line wear. They are the only AWES with continuous rotary power output. Our Local Scouts independently deployed one of turbines are portable on international jamboree. Kite turbines naturally align tensile materials and torque transfer mechanisms with the dynamic of airborne wind energy conversion. low-mass, high-energy design unlock deployment potential.
