Imagine a strong, constant, clean and equally distributed

source of energy.

Imagine a technology that can exploit it.

Imagine what a paramount advantage it would be for all of us.

What if all this was not a figment of your imagination?

Here we are.

We have found the Source, the High Altitude Winds.

We have got the Technology, the KiteGen Stem.

We are just a step away from making all this possible.

Now it's your turn!!

Help us make the final step, the installation of our big scale generator, and take part in the new energy era.

Each Non-Profit which is now supporting us will benefit from the revenues that will come from the sale of the energy produced by our 1st KiteGen Stem.

Installation site: Giaveno - TO - Italy

Sound good enough?! Learn more…

We do not go in search of windy areas to install our machines.

We just go wherever energy is needed
!

The KiteGen Stem, now covered by 40 international patents, is based on a quite simple working principle. A giant automatically driven wing, designed and implemented by our team, flies between 600 and 2000 meters to harvest the mechanical energy of the high altitude winds. Two high-strength ropes connect the wing to the base and transmit its tension, which activates the power generators located on the ground, thus producing energy. Along the years, our engineers have developed several prototypes.

2006 - Mobile Gen

2012 - KiteGen Stem

2014 - KiteWing - 3MW

...our goal is important and you can offer us invaluable help....

...our success could be a paramount achievement for all mankind...

...this is why we will return the favor!

The more we will be able to implement our technology, the more our partners will get.

Now, imagine what we could do, all together, in favor of the environment and of the people all over the world
