Wow. I used to hang out on the kitesurf email lists on yahoo back in the day, Saul used to post open source kitesurf patterns, I made a few kites (of my own design.) Then he went on to start Monkey Kites, which I think he lets his sister run (it's now called http://www.griffinkites.com.au http://www.griffinkites.com.au ) Don Montague used to come on the forums talking about giant ship kites that would tow a oil tanker across the ocean saving fuel. It's interesting to see that they're working together on a non-kite idea. Also, I bet that spinning wing chops birds and bats up with 100% efficiency. Maybe they plan on sending it much much higher in the atmosphere (you could tether lots to an airship which in turn was teathered to the ground)
