    I remember seeing one that was an inflatable with generator props at the ends a couple years back.

    The generator was on board the kite, and a wire lead down from the kite, not sure what the name of it was now?

    But then the CEO of that company making the kite turbine, unexpectedly died of CARDIAC INSUFFICIENCY in 2012 (he was born in 1974), and in May 2013 the company was bought up by google, and that was their last press release...
