Windmills have different uses; collect water, grind,
etc. But they are now very old fashioned to have a windmill. The creation of
these windmills led to the wind turbine. The wind turbine is used to collect
energy obtained from wind. But
Joby Energy’s wanted to achieve something different; "In order to have
truly sustainable energy, we've got to beat coal.” Joby Energy, based in Santa
Cruz, California, is taking the windmill turbine to a new level. The company is working in a new Airborne
Wind Turbine that allows them to collect energy more efficiently. With the
airborne Turbine, the will achieve higher production of energy. Joby Energy’s main goal is “developing
airborne wind turbines to harness the immense and consistent power in
high-altitude wind to provide reliable and low-cost renewable energy.” With this new invention can lead to a
more sustainable community where people do not depend on 3rd party energy
company to deliver energy to our homes.
These are some of the features:
30,000feet altitude
20 times more energy
100 pounds weight
