EcoTech Daily: Magenn Power Gets its Blimp On

  • Uncle B · 1 year ago
    Only in Canada eh! Leave it to the Canucks to develop an off the wall design that works. This system would be ideal for smaller isolated rural areas, fishing lodges, eco-agricultural settlements, and other inland ventures. My concerns are maintenance costs, tornadoes - windstorms, and leakage of expensive helium (why not use hydrogen?). Scale is another factor. How would small units fare? Is bigger better? Is there an ideal size for the winds in a given area and the weights involved?
