A wind powered generator is described that may take advantage of the strong wind present at higher altitudes above terrain than can feasibly be reached by traditional tower mounted wind generators. It makes use of a combination of lift sources. The generator comprises an envelope filled with a lifting gas that enables the system to rise in little or no wind, and wings that provide additional lift when there is wind, to thereby prevent the wind from blowing the tethered generator to the ground. The airborne wind powered generator is able to both rise aloft and land unattended. Power is extracted from the wind by means of turbine rotors that drive electric generators. |
