After 6 years of painstaking research and applying for 7 patents, he led a team of 20 people to design a giant carousel that can generate electricity. The team believes the device will be operational within the next two years. Ippolito, 48, said: "It's called a revolution, but I see this as part of the new energy future. Once photovoltaic power generation, photothermal power generation and kite wind turbines are effectively combined, we We can try our best to meet the rising demand for global electricity consumption.”
Ippolito believes that due to its small coverage area but the ability to generate huge energy, kite wind turbines will become the preferred wind turbine. Making it superior to similar projects such as glider generators and windmills. So far, the project looks extremely promising. A small portable kite wind generator called MobileGen (a kite pulled by a flatbed truck) made progress during a test launch in August. It produces a certain amount of power, plus a host of improvements. Ippolito said the researchers' emotions when they saw the generator in action were beyond words. Despite this, the development prospects of kite wind turbines do not seem to be smooth sailing. Some people appreciate the concept, but still hold a wait-and-see attitude.
