To be able to use this CO2-free and reliable technology for wind energy constitutes a commercial possibility to replace previous technologies to a great extent. This opens up a wide door towards a future free of nuclear power.

The benefits of the system arise from the fact that winds become more and more constant and also faster with increasing altitude. A wind power plant with kites can also achieve a higher rate of capacity utilisation with a constant level of wind because the kites are able to rise higher, in contrast to wind turbines. This is advantageous especially in hilly areas as commercial wind power plants are uneconomical there on account of their design. Specifically in regions such as Baden-Württemberg, a kite wind power plant can be used to step up the development of renewable energies. Another theory comes into play at SkyAmps, however, that makes it possible to generate electricity without consuming electricity. It is a fact known from kitesurfing that kites develop more tensile force at flat angles (see diagram 2). This is exploited by SkyAmps by one kite pulling at a flat angle and, by doing so, rotating a shaft. There is a second kite attached to this shaft which is pulled down by the rotary movement. At the same time, there is a generator attached which generates the electricity. This constitutes the innovation by SkyAmps – a worldwide first.
