The isolated hose is responsible for two tasks. The first task is to fix the high-altitude wind power

station at the earth and the second task is to forward the hot air.

The isolation is done by a vacuum or by aerogels.

The support hoses are working by the Archimedean principle. This means only the volume and the difference of the

air pressure is important for the uplift.

The hoses are starting at the surface and going to the wing.

One support hose can lift the weight of the hose. If the weight is higher, it is possible to add more support hoses.

For the scope of the scalable prototype an isolated hose is developed and tested.

The preferred material is a carbon fiber with a high tensile strength.
