Jet Stream wind turbine
« on: August 10, 2005, 06:33:46 PM »
How feasible is it to build an airfoil, put a generator on it, and get it up into the jet stream?  Think of a kite-like design.  The tether would double as the power transmission line.


I was thinking that the jet stream is much faster and much more reliable than the winds we see on the surface, but how to tap into it?
