Ampyx Power
The Netherlands | Ampyx is developing the PowerPlane, a machine that can extract energy from the wind much more economically than wind turbines. Ampyx has built a 10 kW PowerPlane which has been tested successfully. |
Joby Energy
USA | Joby Energy is developing airborne wind turbines which will operate in the upper boundary layer and the upper troposphere.
Multi-wing flying structures which can support multiple wind turbines. |
Magenn
USA | The Magenn Power
Air Rotor System is a patented high altitude lighter-than-air tethered device that rotates about a horizontal axis in response to wind, efficiently generating clean renewable electrical energy at a lower cost than all competing systems. |
KiteGen
Italy | Semi-rigid automatically piloted high efficiency air foils. |
Sky Windpower
USA |
Flying electric generators. |
Twind
Italy | The method is based on the use of a sail surface elevated by the climbing force of an aerostatic balloon connected to the ground by a cable used also for energy transmission. The wind present at high altitudes creates a horizontal push on the sail which in its movement transmits this energy to the ground via the connecting cable. |
Aeroix
Germany | Based on the comprehensive know-how from the project CyberKite and other projects in the field of applied aeronautics and wind energy,
Aeroix initiated the development of a new generation of wind energy plants by use of EnerKites. |
|
Makani Power | Makani is developing high-altitude wind energy extraction technologies aimed at the most powerful wind resources. |
Airborne Wind Energy Industry Association
Industry Association | AWEIA is a global trade and professional body for the airborne wind energy industry. |
|
HighestWind |
Small-scale, on-site distributed electricity generation to help power ranch,
farm, winery, golf course, resort, rural school, business or factory, or entire
developing world villages. |
