Flying windmills have advantages over their terrestrial counterparts which is due to factors such as contours of the earth and patterns of heating and cooling daily, often facing inadequate wind or turbulent winds, requiring expensive designs. There are no such impediments in the jet stream, where the air moves almost constantly and several times the speed it makes 100 feet off the ground, allowing much more energy to be captured from every square meter of wind.
Many means have been proposed to capture the energy available in high altitude winds, but only those who have not carefully considered the state of current technology doubt that the capture of this energy should be achievable now. After much study on the various methods for capturing high altitude winds, we settled on a "Flying Electron Generator" (FEG), or a "helicopter", to address the world's major energy and global warming problems. This was first proposed by Bryan Roberts. In the mid-2000s, he obtained a patent for a "Windmill Kite," a variation of what we call a flying electric generator. We believe that FEG technology will lead the way to capture energy at these truly high heights where very high altitude wind energy exists.
