A system for generating power by harnessing high altitude wind consists of a flying frame, a generator mounted on the ground and a group of ropes (A, B, C, D) connecting frame and generator. The flying frame looks like a kite containing a closed triangle surface at the top followed by an open rectangular frame in which a smaller rectangular closed surface is positioned in such a way, that it can slide within the frame from left to right and vice versa. The sliding surface is pushed up by wind, lifting the side of frame upwards, which momentarily carries the sliding surface, causing in the next phase the sliding surface to slide down to the other side within the frame by gravity. In turn, the side of the frame, which is now carrying the sliding surface, is lifted and the other side is lowered. In that state the sliding surface is again sliding from the upper to the lower position within the frame. This alternating movement of the frame is transferred to the generator by ropes C and D. Ropes A and B stabilize the frame. A ballon constantly keeps the frame up in the air. |
