In the "Fundamentals" section of the website (http://www.makanipower.com/concept/fundamentals/ http://www.makanipower.com/concept/fundamentals/) Makani claims that their system can operate in 85% of the areas in the US vs. traditional windmills that need class 4 wind which is only present in 15% of areas in the US. Also there is some interesting info about why their approach could be better for offshore wind generation.
I know some of the Makani guys and they are the real deal. These guys are seriously smart, and talented. I am glad everything is going so well for them.
