GE (NYSE: GE) has begun work on the first phase of a two-year, $3 million project with the U.S. Department of Energy to develop a wind turbine generator that could support large-scale wind projects in the 10- to 15-MW range.
GE’s design would use architecture and cryogenic cooling technology along with MRI magnetic technology that could have more economy of scale and reduce the cost of energy produced by the turbines.
Phase I will focus on developing a conceptual design and evaluating the economic, environmental and commercial factors associated with it. Phase II will explore the potential commercialization of the technology. GE will work with the Oak Ridge National Laboratory on the generator project.

The kenape semi rigid kites are tethered to the capstan arms ,they pull down and across the current on a double broad reach tack (like the fastest way to sail) .To use the dynamic lift and drag forces together, and can feather or sail in the wind going upstream. There is no size limit and no down time . Non stop free cheap and easy to service ,clean heavy density REH. With tidal energy on a small coastal grid it is also non stop .Tow in to dock for service and painting when necessary just like any other boat. Move it anywhere water moves, anchor and cable and you have instant power.Ideal for earth quake ,war, and other emergency zones. Kit type or can be made with local bamboo,sticks . drift wood and pet bottle .Now we have Tawt kenape(c) systems working to so more work CAD is needed .http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zs8aPJoWg0
Partners and sponsors welcome 4Paz R&D charity ,Espana . Kites in water are called Hapas. So Hapa TAWT power is here to make the world happy . Free non stop really clean REH is ready to be developed, no dams and no damage to our eco systems . Here is another test machine >for our 3rd world project to give easy cheap simple power almost anywhere >made from pet bottle and with the new pancake torque generation there is no limit .
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLHs4Ruuyck. From AYRS London came fun sailing with kite surfing and now kite tawt energy to light up the lives of everyone .70% of the world is water ,keep it clean and it will give us all the REH and good food we need www.cyberlifeboat.org
Technical note,our charities studies are based on reuse to help clean up our world and save energy
