ʻO ka manaʻo o ka hui ʻoihana Alphabet ʻo Makani ( ʻO Google i ka makahiki 2014) e hoʻouna i nā lupe ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe (tethered drones) mau haneli mau mika i ka lewa e hana i ka uila me ka makani mau. Mahalo i ia mau ʻenehana, hiki nō ke hoʻoulu i ka ikehu makani a puni ka uaki. Eia naʻe, ke kūkulu ʻia nei ka ʻenehana e pono ai e hoʻokō pono i kēia hoʻolālā.
ʻO ka nui o nā hui a me nā mea noiʻi i hoʻolaʻa i ka hana ʻana i nā ʻenehana ikehu kiʻekiʻe i ka lewa i hōʻuluʻulu ʻia ma kahi hālāwai kūkā ma Glasgow, Scotland i ka pule i hala. Ua hōʻike lākou i nā hopena o ka noiʻi, nā hoʻokolohua, nā hoʻokolohua kahua a me ka hoʻohālike e wehewehe ana i nā manaʻo a me ka maikaʻi o ke kumukūʻai o nā ʻenehana like ʻole i hōʻike ʻia e like me ka airborne wind energy (AWE).
I ʻAukake, Alameda, Kaleponi ʻo Makani Technologies i alakaʻi i nā huakaʻi hōʻikeʻike o kāna mau makani makani lewa, ka mea i kapa ʻia e ka hui he ikehu lele, ma ke Kai ʻĀkau, ma kahi o 10 mau kilomita mai ke kahakai o Norewai. Wahi a ka Luna Nui o Makani, ʻo Fort Felker, ʻo ka hoʻāʻo ʻana o ke Kai ʻĀkau, ʻo ia ka hoʻomaka ʻana a me ka pae ʻana o ka mea hoʻokele a ukali ʻia me ka hoʻāʻo lele ʻana i noho ai ka lupe i luna no hoʻokahi hola i nā makani ikaika. ʻO kēia ka hoʻāʻo moana mua loa o ia ʻano makani makani mai ka hui. Akā naʻe, lele ʻo Makani i nā mana lupe ma Kaleponi a me Hawaii.
"I ka makahiki 2016, ua hoʻomaka mākou e lele i kā mākou 600 kW kites i nā crosswinds - ke ʻano e hana ʻia ai ka ikehu i kā mākou ʻōnaehana. Ua hoʻohana mākou i ka hoʻohālike like no ka hoʻāʻo ʻana ma Norewai, "wahi a Mr. Felker. Ma ka hoʻohālikelike ʻana, ʻo ka lua o ka mana makani makani ikaika loa i kūkulu ʻia i kēia lā hiki ke hana i 250 kilowatts. “Ke kālele nei kā mākou kahua hoʻāʻo ma Hawaiʻi i ka hana ʻana i kahi ʻōnaehana hoʻokele mana no ka hana hoʻomau, kūʻokoʻa."
Hōʻike nā hoʻokolohua Norewai i nā pono o AWE. ʻO ka prototype 26-mika M600 o Makani, i kūkulu ʻia me ke kākoʻo mai ka Royal Dutch Shell Plc, pono i kahi pahu paʻa e hana. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā ukana makani ma luna o kona mau lau nui a pono e kau ʻia ma luna o nā hale i heleuma i ke kai. No laila, ʻaʻole kūpono nā wai o ke Kai ʻĀkau, kahi i hiki ai ka hohonu i 220 mika, no nā turbine makani maʻamau, hiki ke hana ma ka hohonu ma lalo o 50 mika.
E like me ka wehewehe ʻana o ke alakaʻi ʻenehana papahana ʻo Doug McLeod ma AWEC2019, he mau haneli miliona o ka poʻe e noho kokoke ana i ke kai ʻaʻohe wai pāpaʻu kokoke a no laila ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana i ka ikehu makani o waho. "ʻAʻohe ʻenehana i kēia manawa e hiki ke hoʻohana i ka ikehu makani ma kēia mau wahi," wahi a Mr McLeod. "Me ka ʻenehana o Makani, manaʻo mākou e hiki ke hoʻohana i kēia kumuwaiwai ʻike ʻole ʻia."
ʻO ka buoy no ka M600 airframe i hana ʻia mai nā mea ʻaila a me nā mea hoʻokele kinoea i loaʻa, wahi āna. ʻO ka M600 kahi monoplane ʻole me ʻewalu rotors e hāpai ana i ka drone i ka lewa mai kahi kūlana kū ma luna o kahi buoy. Ke piʻi ka lupe i ke kiʻekiʻe - ua hoʻolōʻihi ʻia ke kaula i 500 mika i kēia manawa - hoʻopau nā kaʻa a lilo nā rotor i nā makani makani liʻiliʻi.
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo AWEC2019 co-organizer a me ke kaukaʻi o ka ʻenehana aerospace ma Delft University of Technology ma Netherlands, ʻo Roland Schmehl, i ʻōlelo ʻia e nā rotors ʻewalu, e hana ana kēlā me kēia 80 kW, i ʻae i ka hui e hana i kahi ʻōnaehana kupaianaha e paʻakikī i nā hui ʻē aʻe. "ʻO ka manaʻo e hōʻike i ka pono o ka lele ʻana i ke kai me ka 600-kilowatt kite," wahi āna. "A he paʻakikī ka nui o ka ʻōnaehana no ka hapa nui o nā ʻoihana hoʻomaka e noʻonoʻo."
Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Fort Felker, ke aliʻi o Makani, ʻo ka pahuhopu o nā huakaʻi hoʻāʻo ʻo ʻAukake ma ke Kai ʻĀkau, ʻaʻole ia e hoʻopuka i ka mana kokoke i ka mana o ka mokulele. Akā, e hōʻiliʻili ana ka hui i nā ʻikepili i hiki i nā ʻenekini Makani ke hoʻohana i kēia manawa no ka holo ʻana i nā simulation a me nā hoʻāʻo hou aʻe i ko lākou hoʻomohala ʻana i kā lākou ʻōnaehana.
"Ua hōʻoia nā huakaʻi kūleʻa i ka pololei o kā mākou hoʻokuʻu ʻana, hoʻopaʻa ʻana a me nā hiʻohiʻona lele crosswind mai kahi paepae lana," wahi āna. "ʻO ia ke ʻano hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohana me ka hilinaʻi i kā mākou mau mea hana simulation e hoʻāʻo ai i nā loli ʻōnaehana - nā kaukani o nā hola lele simulated e ʻae iā mākou e hoʻopau i kā mākou ʻenehana ma mua o ka hoʻolaha ʻana."
