- Engineer and inventor Rod Read has created flying turbine technology, using spinning kites to generate electricity.
His experiments have generated enough electricity to charge an electric car and still have power left to boil the kettle for a cup of tea.
Rod says that his kites, run continuously, could power an average home and that the technology could scale up to take more advantage of the wind than traditional wind mills currently do.

By watching this, I feel the world I am living is actually not that bad. I want to be like him which make the world a better place.
Hey just wanted you to revisit this because I too need inspiration like this clever man to stay hopeful.
I love this! i really admire people like him. I hope you go onwards and upwards with your designs
BRILLIANT MAN!!!🌹💫🌹
Indeed
Beautiful to look at too. Inexpensive to make. I’m in where do I sign up.

These people are changing the world for all of us
Interesting approach! Working in the field of energy generation with kites for over 10 years, our system differs quite significantly.
Energy companies: I’m gonna stop you right there.
We own the wind.
Amazing idea. And so cost efficient. Also using our sewerage for methane and power (as they used to do to light up the London streets). The biggest question I have is WHY ISN'T THIS ALREADY IN PLACE?! A little insight - London night street lamp lights using sewerage sourced methane were put out of use by the BIG companies 100+ years ago, as more profit from getting it mined elsewhere. It's all to do with profit before the environment.
yes ...power London's light on shit.. this is old technology that modern, antiseptic, pipe and wire- loving city folks need...
An idea and design well worth considering, but like Peter van den Berg batch box rocket stove heater, when will we ever appreciate and put to good use these remarkable thinkers ideas and designs?
Wow! In remote poor areas of the this would be a godsend I salute you.
It would kill birds, it's dreadful and ill thought out.
i see it more to an alternative to solar on expedition by example
This is a awesone idea
His name will go down in history as important as the invention of the light bulb, telephone or even EVs
bullshit, when the wind stop for 3sec the kite fell to the ground and you go no more power until you manually reset the kite.
Yep, Working on an automated 10kW system project to avoid that
so cool. nice Rod
Brilliant efficient and aesthetic
Great for a camping trip
Ingenious
Well that’s certainly a brilliant idea , but can you rely on having continuous suitable conditions, but thank goodness we have these people to continually search out solutions to the problem though I think a small standard windmill generator as already in use is better…But tell me where I may be wrong on that .
It's going to take a combination. This, solar, hydro...
The difference with a windmill is in the portability.
As someone who has gravity fed spring water and a windmill on my house, both of which require a good deal of maintenance, the spinning kites look like they’d be extremely high maintenance.
Peter Powell would be proud!
Didn't we already have windmills though?
But windmills are far more expensive and require more land to install it
It’s all fun and games until the kite is run out of air
Fantastic!! Outside the box thinking, maybe even blue sky thinking? 😅🙌
Great large scale potential with nanofibre technology. Bird strikes could be a real problem for the light weight design though, but this could almost certainly be mitigated.
Whats important is its modularity and ease of repair and chains of any form provide that
Legend....
this is really amazing...probably this can also be used to minimize strong winds impact
Great work
Messieur is a genius
Imagine getting smacked by that thing.
Marvelous idea
Awesome
Reminds me of crop circles any connection ?
Need to call this product “Spinning Kilts”

Great engineering 👍🏿
Purebloods unite!
Just amazing less production cost with 👍🏽 benefits
Their must be more people like him to invent👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Reinventing the wind mill??
Changing artistic expression
Really cool! I hope he opens the patent to the public
My father used to use a bike attached to the car motor to power our home. Alternative energy solutions are there in our houses if we just looked for them.
Love the idea since I'm a paragliding pilot .... but hate to say it ... lots of research will need to be done on how to keep this thing up in different conditions.
Ooh! What a great 💡 idea!
If many people startes using it what about birds?....they can easily entangled in strings..
Collateral
Great work 👍
That's awesome. Hope this technology keeps developing
Good job, Rod, to be featured on the BBC is not a trivial milestone. Plus your design looks a bit stronger and more stable than past versions when we chatted on Twitter, or is it more a result of optimal camera angle and video selection. Keep it up, buddy!
Amazing video 📹👏❤👌
Absolutely brilliant, kudos to the man👏👏👏🤞🏻
Would it be possible to have two blades counter rotate at alttitude? That would really get a lot power.
Awesome... Brilliant..
How it made it. I want to see it made
When the wind stops, so does the spin.
Agreed.
Nobody should be thinking of any alternative sources for energy ever anymore, its beyond ridiculous and unnecessary.
We already have coal and fossil fuels which will last forever without any issues at all.
Its not like we are already having energy supply issues supporting the population we already have...
@@JuanMendoza-qd5lm What? Fossil fuels are unlimited and cause no problems at all? Absurd. The vast majority of the scientific community firmly disagrees.
What about a static line with a swivel attached instead of a kite?
These could be attached to it from any angle; below, horizontal or even from above.
Maybe in a rural large parcel of land. Urban setting which is a more common dwelling will not work. These would immediately tangle and destroy each other. Hope you noticed the small parachute holding the system up at least tethered about 200 feet. No city would allow this in their backyards. : = ))
Excellent man. Wondering if you could make the generator wheel be horizontal and have a few such wheels stacked vertically that rotate at the generator and do the generation and then and have at least three kites on the same tethered generator. Keep up the fantastic work!
Now that's a good whirlygig
Now i just need a 2 mile extension cord to my house in the heighborhood
Great idea Rod... Excellent work. And for low winds?
Split the water and hoist up the spinning apparatus with hydrogen ballons for slower wind conditions.
Waw he is a modern Einstein
Очень понравилась идея использования распорных стержней вместо ободов. Так прочнее.
This is so cool, I want one
I want one of those!
Genious
Incredible impressive.
Great!
This is absolutely brilliant
I hope this is taking seriously and money put into it 🏴👋

@@InTheUnkwn I don’t get it ? However it’s lovely singing I need to get some on Spotify
U heard of Ravi shanker,,,have a listen he’s George Harrison’s friend
I would like to buy one, where can I buy one
So does the guy have a contact email?
How can we get some to buy
Cool
How about inventing appliances that runs on little wattage.
Awesome 👍
Nuclear Energy. *mic drop
A windmill, but with twice the technical problems. It's NOT scalable. As the scale increases, the amount of wind required to lift increased weight and cable thickness increases. And what happens when the wind goes? How does a 10 kilmetre cable return gracefully to earth? Silly idea.
We use network kite concepts and are working on robotic deployment to overcome these issues
@@KiteTurbine Mere buzzwords. "network kites=" = lots of kites. "robotic deployment" = automated deployment. Deploying ots of kites simply increases the system complexity, power cost and opportunities for failure. This is unlikely to reach a scale that can power a house, much less entire towns. This is pie in the sky.
@@Martial-Mat More kites increases the part count which also increases the opportunity for failures. However launching 9 kites is as easy as launching 3 and the turbine network (buzzword?) is an autogyro so no need for controls there. An advantage of the network is part redundancy if there is a failure. Lines have broken and the system continued in a diminished but safe state. A further advantage of networks is their modularity. You can swap a wing or rotor easily and on the ground too... not up a tower. We'll be getting as much data as we can on performance from the next tests. I'll try be more wordy less polished and sales like
@@KiteTurbine You haven't even demonstrated the proof of concept at a feasible power output yet - say enough to power a single houuse. We see FAR too many of these fantastical ideas at minute scale and are asked to believe that scaling them up is as easy as imagining it - water from the desert, solar roadways, super high power batteries, hyperlink and more - and by a massive margin, they never amount to anything. You'll excuse my absolute scepticism.
What you've showed us so far is a small, exotic kite that generates a small amount of electricity. If this video had had an array up in the air, generating even enough to power an electric car or a small house, it would have been something. The world needs dreamers, and it's a great cause, but the BBC should have waited until you had more than a child's toy to demonstrate. Also, how does being an autogyro help? It reduced the rate of descent, but if the wind just cuts out, or changes direction, you still have hundreds or thousands of feet of wires falling to earth. What's your retrieval strategy as cable length magnifies? Is there a lift to cable to air density ratio beyond which you can no longer go?
@@Martial-Mat Love the healthy skepticism. Thanks. In the videos you can see it has kicked out >1.5kW from 3 rigid blades using
at last free electricity ⚡️
Spinning kites will not power your home, not today not tomorrow, just a hobby project that is not scalable.
That's why I'm betting you're wrong
You need a lot of space for greater wind to pass ... And that space is not available .... It's a luxury and not an alternative ....

Kite turbine might be harmful for birds
Charged a car and had enough LEFT to boil a kettle. With surface winds. Using flimsy spinning kites. I call BS.
I mean he didn't say how long he was out there for
yeah that thing is clearly generating less electricity than an e-bike runs on.
Glad I'm not the only person who noticed they made ZERO mention of how much watt power this system generates per 1hr of X amount of wind. They also made ZERO mention of how much $$$ this system costs to make, or maintain.
"His prototype, a series of spinning rainbow-colored rings, stands out against the gray Scottish sky. On a good day, the kite generates more than 450 watts. It's just a small model, but Read thinks the technology could be scaled up to the utility level. His model still needs more testing, but kites have a number of advantages over traditional turbines and several companies are developing kite-based generating systems."
True. The video has miss quoted me. I have only part charged a car so far with one 36V 11Ah battery charge run through a 5kW inverter. It would take at least 20 of these - which would take about a full 24 hours. Kite turbine has output >1.5kW
Actual air bender
This should be called spinning kilts
It's crazy how we wait for the world to fall apart before we realise the damage.
Procrastination?
and the birds ?
Watch this get suppressed again, this was around years ago, smh
This would have been good to show those 20,000 COP people some innovation...?
The idea is good but not much practical. by design it can't be dense like common wind turbines are.
This device is not that practical but a miniature model can work very well.
They don’t want people to do this how can they charge them and tax them with free electricity
Amazing 🤑
They could also kill a lot of birds. TERRIBLE IDEA.
Did someone say free bbq
Whom Can We Trust If No One Is Trustworthy?
One of my favorite quips from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is when Tom is defined as “a glittering hero…the pet of the old, the envy of the young,” and there were “some that believed that he would be President, yet, if he escaped hanging.” With these few words, Twain captured the essence of leadership in our world. Those who get to the top are the fiercest, most determined, and most ruthless. Today, the latter quality has become so intense that we can no longer believe our leaders, and certainly not trust them to have our best interest in mind.
I am not accusing any leader in particular, or even leaders as a whole. It is simply that in an egoistic world, where people vie to topple one another on their way to the top, the one at the top is clearly the one who trampled over and knocked down more people than anyone else. Concisely, to get to the top in an egoistic world you have to be the biggest egoist.
So how do we know whom to trust? We don’t know and we cannot know. All we know is that we are in the dark.
In a culture of unhinged selfishness, any conspiracy theory seems reasonable, while truth is nowhere to be found. When every person who says or writes something is trying to promote some hidden agenda, you have no way of knowing who is right, what really happened, or if anything happened at all.
The only way to get some clarity in the news and goodwill from our leaders is to say “Enough!” to our current system and build something entirely independent. The guiding principle of such a system should be “information only,” no commentary. Commentary means that information has already been skewed. Information means saying only what happened, as much as possible, not why, and not who is to blame and who we should praise.
Concurrently, we must begin a comprehensive process of self-teaching. We have to know not only what is happening, but why we skew and distort everything. In other words, we have to know about human nature and how it inherently presents matters according to its own subjective view, which caters to one’s own interest. To “clear” ourselves from that deformity, we must learn how to rise above our personal interest and develop an equally favorable attitude toward others. This is our only guarantee that our interpretation of things will be even and correct.
Once we achieve such an attitude, we will discover that the bad things we see in our world reflect our own, internal wickedness. Our ill-will toward others creates a world where ill-will governs, and so the world is filled with wickedness and cruelty. Therefore, all we need in order to create positive leadership-and to generally eliminate ill-will from the world-is to generate goodwill within us. When we nurture goodwill toward others, we will fill the world with goodwill. As a result, the world will fill with kindness and compassion. By changing ourselves, we will create a world that is opposite from the world we have created through our desires to govern, patronize, and often destroy other people...
What about birds?
Great if it's windy, really bad if we have a six week long anticyclone as can often occur in winter in UK.
Freeze to death in the dark, while hungry.
