Giant kites could power 100,000 homes

While harnessing the wind to generate energy isn't exactly a new idea, with turbines having been around for years, harnessing it with gigantic kites.

Imagine, with a small footprint on the land, a series of gigantic, connected kites using the wind to generate enough energy to power 100,000 homes.

It's still in experimental phases, but if it's successful than we could start seeing these gigantic, high-flying kites popping up all over the place. After all, energy doesn't get much cleaner or more green than wind power, which is blowing all the time anyways. Let's hope this is successful.

mere bhai economical bhi to honi chaahiye

Its all Supply and demand.

I guess its definitely cheaper then setting up a nuclear power plant. and setting up those big wind mills.

I really appreciate the idea as the speed of wind is higher as the altitude grows. So we can such electricity generators in each locality.

right..

wud help saving the planet

and wonderful if it materialises..
good idea...
