好了,我们都知道地面上方的气流要比那些相对靠近地面的气流强得多。Altaeros能源公司的团队利用了这一事实,提出了这个建议。这个想法是用一个充满氦气的管状气球把涡轮机从地面提升到比传统风车高得多的高度。理想情况下,我们讨论的是一个气流最强的高度。有人可能会问这样一个问题;如何保持涡轮的位置?这确实是一个合理的问题,也是Altaeros能源公司的团队已经考虑过的问题。空中的风力涡轮机将通过使用坚固的绳索来保持稳定,这也将把产生的电力转移到地面。发明者本·格拉斯在最近的一次新闻发布会上对这项奇特的发明说了一些有趣的事情;“几十年来,风力涡轮机需要起重机和巨大的塔才能将地面托起几百英尺,因为那里的风可能是缓慢而猛烈的。” It has been discovered that higher altitudes are much more efficient as far as wind currents are concerned. Higher altitudes offer upto five times stronger winds that are also consistent. Moreover, they are quickly deployable so you don’t need to wait for a long time before your turbine starts generating. We mentioned that the team conducted successful tests of first prototype. Let’s see where was the test conducted and what were its findings.
