Could spinning portable kites offer a more environmentally friendly solution to generating electricity?
Inventor Rod Read spent over a decade developing "turbine kite" technology in the Scottish Isles.
Gusts of wind turn light kite blades connected to a generator on the ground, providing an inexpensive and portable alternative to traditional static turbines.
Rod builds the "hypnotic" devices by hand from lightweight fabrics. During the tests, he was able to charge his electric truck with the system.
