"Non lo abbiamo mai fatto. ...allora non si può fare" così racconta Mario Calabresi, il nuovo direttore della "la stampa" di Torino, le sue prime difficoltà ad innovare.
Pubblicando con una copertina intitolata "L'AFRICA" (curata da Bob Geldof) ha rotto gli schemi, ha innovato.
Interessante As Mario Calabresi said in the video clip.
From next September to Berzano S. Peter, in the province of Asti, the campaign will win a long rod, 25 meters high, and under a strange dome. The stem, or stem, a large kite sorreggerà elongated shape similar to a paraglider, but tens of square meters. Two powerful fans will raise him to heaven, up to 200 meters. "But it will do 80 because the kite will start to float in the wind and then climb up to 800 meters. Meanwhile, the stem will govern the ropes, letting him take a flight calibrated. With a lift, uphill, which will run from 3-megawatt generators also. Then, having reached the 800 meters, just pull one rope to make the kite slide-wing (like a flag), then quickly withdraw the ropes almost no expenditure of energy, go back to 400 yards, lift and put it back in repeat the ascent rocking connected electricity generation from high-altitude winds. All for 5 thousand hours estimated annual average, much more than a wind turbine normal. " A sort of "yo-yo" power, a continuous ups and downs, but highly controlled.
This, in brief, is the description that Massimo Ippolito, founder of Sequoia Automation Chieri, makes his first creature, the KSU-stem. That is the first prototype of the world's power generated from wind power at high altitudes, now in production in its components and should start work in autumn in the 'open-air laboratory' of Berzano, with the help of the town of Asti , "to make a demo center, research and training on this great natural resource that has the wind at high altitude."
