A large Blimp uses Rotating Blades to Harness Wind Energy from the Sky

Engineering, Mechanical /

Look up and you might see a 20,000-cubic-meter power-generating airship hovering 6,560 feet (2,000 meters) above ground. Developed by Beijing’s Linyi Yunchuan, the S2000 SAWES is the world’s first megawatt-scale airborne wind system, generating electricity from high-altitude winds without towers or large ground infrastructure. The push for clean energy has tapped wind, sun, and water, […]
