A Kite That Reduces Ships Fuel Consumption
A computer guide kite will be attached to a 132-meter long ship to help it to consume less fuel while traversing the Atlantic. This kite will be tied up at a height of 15-meters and it will fly 300 meters above the vessel to do its job. It is said that the SkySails kite will reduce the ships fuel consumption by 20% saving $1,600 per day. The $725,000 device will also reduce the carbon emissions. Lets hope that the ship will complete its trip over the Atlantic in January and it will also have the expected results.
