Helium-filled, high-altitude wind turbine prototype unveiled

The video discusses a helium shell that elevates a wind turbine, enhancing energy capture by accessing stronger winds at higher altitudes. The prototype, tested at 350 feet, aims for 1,000 feet to double energy output compared to traditional turbines. The system features automated docking and can be transported via a custom trailer.

What is the primary function of the helium shell in the wind turbine system?

• To generate electricity

• To lift the turbine into the air

• To store energy

• To anchor the turbine to the ground

How does the prototype wind turbine compare to traditional ones in terms of energy generation?

• It generates the same amount of energy

• It generates three times as much energy

• It generates twice as much energy

• It generates less energy

At what altitude did the test run of the wind turbine take place?

• 100 feet

• 350 feet

• 500 feet

• 1,000 feet

What is the ultimate goal for the height of the wind turbine?

• 500 feet

• 750 feet

• 1,000 feet

• 1,500 feet

How is the helium shell transported after docking?

• By train

• By ship

• Using a specially designed trailer

• By helicopter
