Kite powered generator

Here is a unique wind-harnessing device to generate electricity.

Kites, as we all know from our kite flying days, can catch a lot of wind. The traditional propeller slices through the wind and is therefore not as efficient at using the wind to generate power. The kite ‘string’, actually metal poles, pumps arms extending from an alternator that creates electricity. Cables attached between the metal poles and the alternators arms allow the kites to adjust height and angle for maximum wind resistance.

The concept is similar to wave power units that uses ocean currents to ‘pump’ an electricity generating alternator.

This idea, in conjunction with solar power, is a very viable method of generating electrical power.
