RE: Zephyr Solar - Photovoltaic balloon and generator for disaster recovery
The concept behind this seems pretty awesome. I wish you could explain a little bit more about it so I could get a better understanding of just how exactly it works and how it could help people on the ground in need of assistance
Frankly its a solar panel that one can deploy in the air to power disaster hit areas on the ground. Should work like any other typical solar panel, convert heat to dc current and then convert that to ac. The website doesn't give more details.
How its helping is that medical care units in such areas have electricy. If its hot, one can install portable coolers and water purifiers in medical camps and provide relief from heat. Communication can be easier.
