This tongue-in-cheek article was originally written for QUA DX, the official newsletter of the Central California DX Club. It was later published in the July/August 1994 issue of The DX Magazine. Just for a lark, in the shopping list below, try changing the amounts to today's dollars!
In December 2016, Makani generated electricity with an energy kite designed to produce up to 600 kilowatts (kW) for the first time. Our largest kite to date, it measures 85 feet across, and has 8 onboard rotors that are each 7.5 feet in diameter. For comparison, our previous prototype Wing 7, was a 20 kW system measuring 25 feet across with 4 rotors 2.23 feet in diameter.
