Airships were supposed to be the way of the future, not aircraft. Experts believed the aviation industry would die because of environmental concerns and falling passenger numbers.
#The Quest To Harness Wind energy At 2, 000 Feet To be more precise it's a stabilizing fin part of a tube-shaped robotic airship designed to tap the power of high-altitude winds.
The company worked with airship and spacesuit pioneer ILC Dover to develop its proprietary UV-and weather-resistant fabric.
C Three double-braided polymer tethers prevent the airship from drifting away. One contains copper conductors that transmit power collected as high as 2000 feet down to a battery or the grid.
And instead of pouring concrete foundations and erecting a multistory tower a few people with a truck can inflate the airship on site
and airship technology to lift a wind turbine. Most wind turbine manufacturers are competing to build taller turbines to harness more powerful winds above 500 feet,
