Mobile air rotors have great potential to assist in emergency situations
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
The helium-filled Magenn Power Air Rotor System (MARS) is a rotor device that spins on a horizontal axis while floating up to 400 ft in the air, and generates power from the winds found at those high altitudes, making it a valuable tool in emergency situations.
This tethered device generates electrical energy as it rotates about a horizontal axis in response to wind.
As a closed structure, the lighter-than-air Magenn Power Air Rotor System (MARS) lets the company produce wind rotors that are operable between 1 meter/sec and in excess of 28 meters/sec.
The electrical energy is transferred down the tether to a transformer at a ground station and then transferred to the electricity power grid.
Helium sustains the Air Rotor, which ascends to an altitude for best winds; and its rotation causes the Magnus effect, providing additional lift, stabilization, and causing it to pull up overhead rather than drift downwind on its tether.
Large MARS units may be deployed to supplement established grid systems supporting the electrical requirements of large urban areas.
Small MARS units could be deployed in disaster areas for emergency electrical power for medical and other disaster relief situations.
They can correspond to changing wind patterns, offer up to 50 percent efficiency, and make use of higher winds from 400-ft to 1,000-ft above ground level.
