Very different concept though - using a steered kite vs what is basically a self-erecting small wind turbine. Way less logic and parts needed vs Makani

- AceJohnny2 5y agoIt seems to me Makani's problem is they wanted larger scale power generation, and of course can't rely on constant wind, so needed a way to settle and recover. Of course that's not a problem for smaller-scale builds like the OP.
