The era of big-grandiouse plans, systems is fading. Do this small, locally and profitablly first -- then sell and manage the franchises -- maybe partner with a successful franchise with deep pockets and has self-interest in lowering their OWN energy costs...like Whole Foods, FedEx. What if you could make a jet engine that via its rotation, generated power/electricity?

This i was my idea: Having a horizontal Aerofoil that can be placed in the sky, as you said about 1000ft and because of fast wind it would give it lift to stay up. (possibly) On the aerofoil or in it, would be X number of generators. Small generators that would produce efficient power to supply a small city. It would have stabilizers on the sides, and a pivot point on the ground so that when the find changes direction, it would follow it. This was just one of my many ideas.. i thought id share because i came across the M.A.R.S. design. I'm 17yrs old and yea would love it if anyone can share their ideas, or help design my one a little more better. I do have pics of My idea, feel free to email me if you would like to see it :) chaldean_fa_eva@hotmail.com Evan.K i had a very similar idea to that, but don’t know how i would have gotten it up in the air, your helium idea is very smart, how would you refill the balloon?

Which brings me to my reason for commenting! Second paragraph on the M.A.R.S. homepage I think may be a typo: "The generated electrical energy travels town its 1000-foot tether rope," Should this be "travels down it's 1000-foot tether rope" Yep, pretty picky, but that's my job. I may be wrong but just making sure you are looking absolutely professional as I am extremely impressed at what you are creating. Fantastic work! Kind regards Craig G’day Gear Fuse,
