I wonder how closely these can be deployed? Safe operation might require large distances between base stations. If they can't beat conventional wind mills in power per area, that may be a deal breaker in many scenarios.

- NohatCoder 6y agoThen you have to connect them all with sea cables, those add up if you need another km for every base you install.

Still better than trying to keep a windmill-like turbine upright (those exist, but look complicated https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/styles/general_full_column/public/uploads-wysiwig/2017-1-OffshoreWind-ph3-WB.jpg?itok=RVnBUJSH https://www.sierraclub.org/sites/www.sierraclub.org/files/st... ). edit: oh you mean for the electricity, yes...
- adrianN 6y agoI wonder how close to humans they can be deployed. I'd guess that thing can fly quite a distance before it comes crashing down in case anything breaks.
