Energy UFO: airborne blimp wind power system

clever... in China

Blimp harnesses sky wind for clean energy power

floating 6,560 ft (2,000 meters) above the ground

the world’s first megawatt-level airborne wind power system


The system, which measures 60 × 40 × 40 meters (approximately 197 × 131 × 131 ft) in length, width, and height, respectively, features an inflatable, helium-filled aerostat wrapped around 12 turbines. When the airship is inflated, it rises to a predetermined height where it is held in place by a tethered cable.
