- Futuris producer Denis Loctier looks at the development of a flying machine that produces clean energy.
Old flying machines gobble up fuel and pollute the atmosphere. But could we construct an airborne device that would itself produce green energy? At a former military airbase near Lisbon, Portuguese engineers are testing their latest prototype.
This balloon may resemble an airship much more than a wind turbine, but this European research project is meant to produce wind power. Filled w…

this is pretty fucking genius. But we need 2 such systems working in tandem. when 1 rises, the other one comes down.. the one that rises pulls the cable for the one that comes down.. if the software is done properly this can be made to run the generator continuously, and be fully autonomous.
Also you don't need to lower either one for lower then 500 meters. Lowering it at 100 meters is very scary because it can hit the ground, and even kill somebody if the wind changes unexpectedly. If you keep it high up, then you have time to compensate. Plus take advantage of the higher winds.
Just keep them up there.. From 3km to 500 meters is enough range to account for wind variation and calibration errors and sensor errors and such. Also AI can be used to learn the best setup based on wind and all the rest of the sensor data. So is better to not fix this with rigid rules but instead let it adapt and learn. Give it a fitness function and let ait free. This can be simulated upfront until the ai learns the tricks. After that can be deployed in the field. Also if Ai is used, then multiple such systems can be deployed in the same area, and will not tangle with each other since the Ai can control in real time in a dynamic way and account for that. Like birds do. Birds dont bump into each other. So yeah. Because without anty tangle software implementation - you must keep this at very far away distances from each other, since otherwise they risk to tangle into each other. Anyway. If you work with such systems i can provide you with the AI based software.
This things are far more cheaper to build and operate then wind farms, and seems that the only limitation to them is this tangling situation / or else just takes toooo much space. If the cable is 2 km, you need to keep them 2-3.5km apart to ensure no tangling.. that's a lot of wasted space which could be potentially filled with more such systems. But is not about the space - is about the fact that the cables bringing the energy back to the grid need to be very very long, and as such the hole farm setup will cost much more. And that's unnecessary. If we solve this with software - then we essentially have a better system then the wind turbines could ever be. Because bringing electricity form the wind turbine to the grid is also a big cost.
But there is 1 super big issue. Helium. There is not enough helium to make this at scale. So we must use kites or something like that instead. Still very good idea. Possibly we can deploy 20 such systems at the price of 1 wind turbine. And get 10x ROI. Anyway, this comment is too long already.
Just use hydrogen, yes it is flammable, but there is no human, there is no risk.
starter and rotor can be encoporated on the membrane to integrate the generator and floating part. Yes there are weight issues but let's hope carbon nanotechnology will soon replace the copper winding and super light weight magnates come up or the design advances with time. the current stage you displayed is a brilliant design all together and I believe it's already a great achievement
Very Innovative. Wonderful
It produces 30kW on average. In what time period? I hate how renewable energy if full of misleading info.
Yes, because energy is kWh and power is measured in kW there is a big difference.
Using helium as the lift gas seems like an unnecessary expense, both up-front and on-going. Hydrogen or methane would be lower cost and would give you more air time between refillings due to gas leakage.
Jake Hill Hydrogen gas is explosive and can't be used.Hydrogen is what made the Hindenburg durigible explode.
@@galvinstanley3235 Using cheap H2 like good old Zeppelin prooved quite robust since 1914 World War millitary combat use (until fatal Lakehurst desaster once possibly caused by sabotage, but not much risk for unmanned use)
Sun is also not expensive: th-cam.com/video/PdNuQv_LV5U/w-d-xo.html
I was even thinking that some of the energy could be used, to replace the hydrogen that leaks, by electrolysis of water (rain??) I think too that as long as there are no sparks, there is no danger. And during a storm danger with lightning, the balloon goes down long before anyway, I suppose.
How about thermal. A separate wind generator to power an electric heating source could be self maintaining.
WOW AMAZING, I MUST TEST MAKE THE PROTOTYPE!
Superb fantastic work
brilliant idea
There are actually two ways to make power up there... Atmospheric and Kinetic.
Nice
I believe other countries have similar projects. Anyone practical yet? :)
what is its efficiency tho? they didnt mention that part! if any of you knows it would really help me on my project thesis
did you eber find an answer to that? and could i read your thesis?
Kite and balloon energy is coming and much more cheaper.
how much it cost
Well that was depressing how come when I use the actual spin of the balloon to power.
The spin is used to generate power, its what makes the balloon climb up. The spinning is exactly what generates the power.
And by doing it indirectly, they dont have to have really heavy generators floating in the air.
How to rotor system 😇😇😇😇
