Wind Energy
Kite Power is a form of wind energy in which electricity is generated using a radio-controlled kite. This form emerged after further developing the ladder mill, which was conceived by Wubbo Ockels.
Kite Power Team
With a team from Technische Universiteit Delft, Wubbo Ockels further developed this idea and designed a well-functioning system.
What makes the Delft kite unique is that it only requires one cable between the kite and the ground station, thanks to a control unit located just below the kite. This makes the system lightweight and allows the kite to be launched to great heights. It utilizes strong and stable winds at high altitudes.
