Takeaways:
- Serval kite power companies are attempting to pull energy from the sky.
- This new technology is called airborne wind and uses a kite that is a specially designed aircraft composed of composite materials.
- The kite is connected to the ground through a tether. This tether transforms the pull force from the kite to the ground-station generator, which will then convert the tractive force from the tether to electricity.
