Airborne solar wind energy systems (ASWES)

Zéphyr©, photovoltaic balloon

Multidisciplinary team project : two Product Designers, Cédric Tomissi and Julie Dautel, and one Ingeneer, Karen Assaraf.

Some modifications for an AWE use: this balloon could be a kytoon although the kite part could make shadow on the photovoltaic balloon, or a Sharp rotor, both aerostats supplying aerodynamic lift from the kite part.

Then a classic wind turbine aloft would add additional power.
