Soaring wind generator BAT: electricity, cellular, Wi-Fi and a weather station
Nowadays there is a sufficiently large number of projects whose aim - getting energy from alternative sources. Some projects - fantastic, others - are implemented, and others - are now being implemented. The latter category includes the project and the company Altaeros, which created something like a huge turbine jet.
But in fact, this "something" - a wind generator, which should soar (due to helium that fills this "balloon") at an altitude of 610 meters (2000 feet). Such generators are delivered to the launch site, and the fastening system of ropes, cables. Upon receipt of your cables, energy flows into the system of accumulation / storage, where it comes to the right place.
Overall, quite interesting, and not to say that the idea was very new. However, the developers plan to use wind turbines and other purposes. Thus, each unit is both a network access point, the coating at this point is sufficiently large. This network base station, and, among other things - the weather station.
The developers claim that the generator can use in the arid desert, and in a snowy region, the units are well protected from adverse weather conditions.
The project is in the testing phase, and the units themselves - so far only tested, here is a video with a ready test generator:
The developer of the project is Altaeros .
