Balloon wind turbines, kytoon wind turbines and other airborne wind turbines will soon fill our sky

Building wind turbines can be a difficult task. They need to be very tall and with a big diameter. The investment costs are very high and it is difficult to efficiently harvest wind energy. It is well known that in order to harvest wind power, you need to go up high in the sky. The winds are stronger and faster in upper layers of the atmosphere. Therefore, instead of building tall towers, we could easily put balloons, kites, kytoons, tethered airplanes and other devices with wind turbines into the air. Although there are still many difficulties that need to be solved, but scientists are developing suitable airborne structures that will withstand high speed winds and convert wind energy into electricity. Therefore,a kytoon, that is representing a hybrid between a kite and a balloon has been invented to overcome the difficulties that airborne wind turbines have. Kytoons  are relatively stable on high altitudes and they can be used to harvest wind power. Balloon wind turbines will soon be available everywhere and people could even tie them to their houses and harvest the high value wind energy from the high layers of the atmosphere.
