Changes in the new generation of wind turbines

The higher you go, the more wind you get. But at the same time, the construction of high and high towers is very expensive. Google's Makani is a set of power-generating kites that can soar to a height of 300 meters. It means something about 100 meters higher than the largest turbine tower in the world! These 600 kW kites have a wide range of motion and generate electricity by means of turbines installed on the wings and transfer the generated electricity to the grid through the interface. Thanks to the financial and monetary power of Google, Makani is independent from all kinds of government subsidies.
