Windswept and Interesting Ltd is developing networked kite turbine technology to provide scalable clean energy. Their kite turbines use lightweight lift kites and tensile rotary power transmission to generate electricity at costs below £0.02/kWh with low carbon emissions. The company was founded by Ollie, Rod, and Daisy and is pursuing intellectual property and partnerships to advance their minimal viable products and scale autonomous kite turbine farms for utility-level renewable energy generation at the lowest lifetime cost.

3. Why Airborne Wind Energy Systems?
• Less material & Lowest cost per kWh
• Scalable & lower carbon energy
• Strong reliable wind at altitude
Sustainability
<£0.02/kWh VS Solar ~£0.04/kWh
<0.17gCO2/kWh VS Onshore wind min =7gCO2/kWh
>1kW/kg Airborne best power/weight = most efficient scaling

How a Kite Turbine works
Network lines avoid abrasion and single point failure

5. How it works?
World’s best Kite Power Results
Simple construction
>1.6kW <2kg Airborne
ANO CAP393 compliant
Power harvesting factor ζ=3.77
Modular scaling
Smooth output
Networked path autonomy
Avoids single point failure
Expands against torsional
compression by banked lift &
centrifuge.
Stacking & tether fairing = Less
line drag per kite

11. Kite networks are stable with wide anchoring
Stable lifting networks support kite turbine farms
Each Kite Turbine is hoisted individually
Scalability for LCOE
Tension and material match the energy conversion for efficiency
Kite Turbines scale by kite numbers deployed on the network
More Kites per ring on More stacked rings = More Power
the proper size for an AWE system is the largest size where mass is scaling with wing area or the smallest size where mass is
scaling faster than wing area. Airborne Wind Energy System Analysis and Design Optimization Author Info Aull, Mark J
