I agree with Rick, it looks like a kite with a propeller on it. If
it works then the only energy need would be to get it up there in
the first place, then if the wind is consistant enough it should
stay there.
Having said i imagine that it would require a fairly hefty
tether/power line...and as the air is less dense I guess it would
need to be fairly big. I dont know about the US/rest of the world but I dont
think
one of those in the sky would go down to well with the UK general
public!!
It sounds a bit sci-fi to me. Can anyone confirm that this is a
real company / idea??
Thanks
Joe

Hi Rick,
I think it's a little like a kite (except, it's a propeller) and the
twine is actually a power line.
How's that Kirk? ...sound right?
