The kite engineer striving to revolutionise DIY wind power
Might transportable spinning kites supply a greener answer to producing electrical energy?
Inventor Rod Learn has spent greater than a decade pioneering “turbine kite” expertise on Scotland’s islands.
Gusts of wind rotate light-weight kite blades related to a floor generator – providing an inexpensive and transportable different to conventional static generators.
Rod builds the “mesmerising” units by hand utilizing light-weight materials. In testing he is been capable of cost his electrical van with the system.
