Abstract
A method of using a bagged power generation system comprising windbags and waterbags integrated with drones and adapting drone technologies for harnessing wind and water power to produce electricity. An extremely scalable and environmentally friendly method, system, apparatus, equipment, techniques and ecosystem configured to produce renewable green energy with high productivity and efficiency.
Claims4
A system for generation of electrical power comprising:
- an aerial drone having an inner frame covered by an external airframe having layers of airbags stacked on top of each other, the aerial drone has at least one tether line attached to the aerial drone;
- a driven unit having a body that includes a generator, the driven unit attached to the aerial drone by the at least one tether line;
- and
- a computer in communication with the aerial drone and configured to control the inflation and deflation of the airbags of the aerial drone;
- wherein computerized sequential manipulation of the plurality of said airbag's inflation and deflation controls the aerial drone's external shape and contours and enables generation of electrical power from captured wind currents so that the driven unit 500a is lofted by the aerial drone;
- and
- wherein inflation of the airbags creates kinetic energy that is captured within the air bag and transmitted to the driven unit generator to generate electrical power.
