Brainwhere’s AWE System for Harvesting High Altitude Wind Energy
Michael Perlberger
Brainwhere GmbH
The Brainwhere airborne wind power solution aims at harvesting high altitude wind energy. Our IP protected airborne wind turbine system operates in a quasi-singular point in space and can be configured as a system-of-systems. We envision to ladder up to jet stream altitude. The Brainwhere static airborne platform has a hybrid use. While it converts mechanical energy into clean electricity it can also hosts sensing, observation or communication systems.
We have conducted a feasibility study and wind tunnel tests and we are now in the design stage of a flying
pro-totype. From a commercial perspective we have signed a Letter of Intent with a launching customer and we have interest from telecommunication providers.
The key technical challenge we face is cable weight. From a commercial perspective declining energy prices led us to expand our business model towards offering sensing and telecommunication services from the platform. We are looking for highly skilled aerospace and electrical engineers who share our vision for shaping a better world together.
