It's like me but cooler
Spiders invented the web 150M years ago
They stick lots of small wings to it
They harvest energy with it
They sense energy transmitted right across it
Web structure is resilient to tears.
The same properties are very useful in #KiteTurbine design

Thrilled that @_Kitepower, an #AirborneWind start-up and one of the @mega_awe partners, reached the final of the @WFP Innovation Bootcamp! Indeed, airborne wind is a promising #RenewableEnergy solution for remote rural areas. wfpinnovation.medium.com/six…

If I recklessly burnt my house to the ground…
Then proceed to build it back up
I could argue it was the fastest growing house in the street
….if I was a disingenuous nob.

Regarding renewables, we ask if airborne wind power could change the future of clean energy.

Hi pals in #Norway
Gonnie go #StopRosebank
@Equinor Just ask our pals
@kitemill
How to organise clean energy at scale
Thanks
✋ Hey, we need to talk...
These Shetlanders are calling on Norway to #StopRosebank.
Your state-owned oil company @equinor wants to build a MASSIVE oil field off the coast of Shetland.
Do the right thing and #StopRosebank:

Introducing Loftia’s adorable airborne wind turbines. Yes, they’re fish themed 🐳☁️
The sustainable energy generated from these guys can be used for cooking, crafting, exploring and to power your home! ⚡️

I think I need to write into the constitution that Windswept and Interesting Ltd chooses to make fancy Christmas lights for the office
If you have an #ESP32 and some addressable LED's (and I'd recommend the 220 ohm resistor) #WLED has saved your Christmas joy youtu.be/TOEnFKLm9Sw
