The S1500 floating turbine’s operating altitude is 4,921 feet above ground level, where wind speed moves about three times faster than at the surface. The advantage of this altitude (also referred to as vertical slice) can result in a power output up to 27 times higher than a conventional ground-based wind turbine of similar capacity.

The capacity to generate one megawatt of electrical power (MW) with the S1500 system is comparable in size to what small wind power turbines normally generate (a conventional 328-foot-tall wind turbine), while the footprint of the S1500 system is significantly smaller. This amazing power density shows the efficiency benefits of being able to access high altitude wind power resources by new and innovative airborne platforms.

    You’re starting to sound like a chatbot now, MagSafe connectors aren’t wireless. That’s the point!

    (I know you’re probably not a chatbot)

        Qi? Maybe Apple reused the term for the phone charger too, but it was originally for the MacBook pros, then later MacBook airs, and the whole line, besides an annoying usb c only model or two.

        That’s annoying as hell if they did that.
