    My French is extremly poor, as such I'm not sure what I'm looking at on that website. The video animation show how it might work is cool, I have seen many novel ideas in the way of small scale wind. However seldomly do they are make it to market and rarely are the of any bennefit.

    I would not put my life savings in the "investment". There have been many types of kite type wind turbine systems suggested. The complexity and difficulties to harvest useful amounts of wind power (plus the need for large areas of cleared land for cables/landing area/etc.) mean the market would be quite small--In my humble opinion.
