FILTER RESULTS ►Google buys robot kite wind turbines
Google has bought a firm that uses robotic kites to generate power using miniature wind turbines in the sky. Makani Power originally started with the assistance of ARPA-E, which isn’t the Defense Department’s gadget factory (that’s DARPA) but rather an agency of the Department of Energy exploring alternative power sources. Google had later come along [...]
Top Secret Google X Buys Airborne Wind Turbine Company Makani Power
Google X, the tech giant's top secret experimental branch, recently announced that it will take over Makani Power, a startup that develops wind turbines that fly through the air like a kite, rather than being mounted on massive poles cemented into the ground.
This Strange Looking Funnel May Be The Future Of Wind Power (Or Not)
The people behind the Invelox turbine claim that it can take a small gust of wind and make it much bigger. If they’re right, it could change the equation of renewable power. Daryoush Allaei thinks the wind power industry has it all wrong. Show More Summary
Google Buys Makani Wind Power (Kite Power Company)
It’s been a long time since we covered Makani Power, the company developing kite-like wind turbines. But the company didn’t float away (bad pun intended). In fact, it has just been bought by Google, for development under its Google[x] division. Show More Summary
First Wind/Current Power System To Be Installed Off Japanese Coast Later This Year
The world’s first wind/current energy generation system is now set to be installed off the coast of Japan, sometime towards the end of the year. The system, capable of producing twice as much energy as a conventional wind turbine, is estimated to be able to generate enough electricity to power around 300 homes. Show More Summary
Taller, Stronger Wind Turbines From Concrete
Iowa State engineers have been working on making wind turbines taller and stronger by using concrete instead of steel. Will it stick? Taller wind turbines are better – really, it’s been confirmed. So, making wind turbines taller and stronger seems like a never-ending goal (though, I imagine it does have its limits). Show More Summary
Google Acquires Airborne Wind Power Company Makani
Already a backer of the kite-based turbine designers, Google brings it fully under its wing
Strawscraper concept calls for a wind energy-harvesting toupee
Despite being the most common renewable energy technologies, solar panels and wind turbines still have their shortcomings. Particularly when it comes to the urban environment. Lack of space and concerns about noise are just two problems with integrating them into city settings in an unobtrusive way. Show More Summary
Google X acquires Makani Power, an airborne wind turbine manufacturer
Larry Page just picked up another bird for his flying craft collection, and this plane doesn't even carry passengers. In fact, it's not used for transportation at all -- the aircraft is tethered to the ground. Google X, the tech giant's experimental arm, recently acquired the device's designer, Makani Power.
