Wow! This is awesome! Kites for power generation. Well at least to part-power a ship. Looking at the video, it’s a foil kite. It looks very much like a paraglider. The kite is 160 sq metres and flies 100-300 metres above the ship. It achieves a 30% reduction in shipping fuel for a cargo liner. Impressive stuff. I saw something online a few years back about using kites for power generation. It appeared to be at quite an early concept stage but I reckon the idea is feasible. There’s so much power in wind and waves and it’s great to see more of it being tapped into.
