The American startup AirLoom Energy plans to implement a new approach to wind energy. The idea started with a drawing on a napkin.<\/p>\n

Instead of placing massive turbines on top of 100-meter towers, the company attaches vertical blades to cables that run along an oval track just 25 meters (82 feet) above the ground. The company hopes to produce electricity at a price of $13 per megawatt-hour, which would be more than 50% cheaper than traditional onshore wind power.<\/p>\n

The idea of the \u201crace track\u201d configuration came from kitesurfing, which is a passion of the company’s founder Robert Lumley. He first sketched the concept on a napkin during a wind energy conference in Berlin.<\/p>\n

The company has already received $12.7 million in funding from 21 anonymous investors.<\/p>\n

Prior to that, AirLoom raised $4 million in November from Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Lowercarbon Capital, and MCJ Collective, founded by Bill Gates.<\/p>\n

It doesn’t look quite clear yet, but it’s already very interesting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
