Google Backs Spinning Power Plant In the Sky

Posted on 06 May 2008 by

Search giant Google is funding Makani Power, a Canadian company building GIANT POWER PLANT KITES. The blimp-like balloons have “riverboat blades,” which make the whole contraption spin in the sky from the force of the wind, which generates electricity with power-generating turbines. The juice is zapped down the tether to power your giant TV. The company already has a working prototype. I want one.
