Katrick Technologies have successfully completed their first round of prototype testing with their urban Wind Panel technology., exceeding targets set by industry leaders.
Something designed for use in the specific air patterns close to the ground would not be better higher up, no. That’s not how that works.
That’s what big wind turbines are for. And perhaps someday someone will make things designed to harness the high speed winds around tall buildings, but this thing designed to work in smaller gusts at or near ground level is unlikely to be it for a variety of reasons.
My initial impression of this tech is not so good. Wouldn’t it be better higher up
