Next step - scalable prototype
This “scalable prototype” is not a real prototype, different aspects are developed and analyzed.
The focus is on the new technology of different parts from the high-altitude wind power station.
The different steps are the followings:
Screw compressor:
Design a screw compressor made from carbon fibers. In the common structure there are no differences to an actual screw compressor.
Hose:
The hose must be designed. The structure is new and must be tested.
Diffusor:
For the diffusor in a first step the construction of a wind lens turbine can be used.
In this step, the focus is on the production with carbon fibers.
Low-speed wind turbine:
The structure of a traditional Dutch wind turbine is used.
In this step, the focus is producing the blades with carbon fibers.
Intellectual property rights:
During this project, new intellectual property rights are expected.
Others:
Making the approach public and starting to evaluate countries for the first location of a high-altitude wind power station.
