Towerless Radio Station with Airborne Wind Energy Technology
Bernd Lauwww.airborne-wind-turbine.com
This project started 2009 with the first ideas of the airborne wind energy technology. The team built a lot of investiga-tions and calculation to this point. In 2010 they made their first demonstrator, a construction of helium filled donuts. In Leuven, AWEC 2011, they presented their knowledge of this case.
To the AWEC 2013 they will present the development sta-tus of the actual project. That is a towerless radio station with the airborne wind energy technology as an island solu-tion for low populated areas or disasters. They use a teth-ered airplane system with their self-made energy solution and a fully automatic start and landing system.
