Why? This kite system harnesses the winds energy with a tethered
wing that flies at high altitudes where the wind is both strong
and more consistent. As the kite sweeps through a vast amount of
area, small wing-mounted turbines extract power from the wind,
converting it into electrical power. The tether transmits
electrical power to the ground, where special conditioning
hardware connects to a power grid. 2 M10 Kite Power System,
