Inflatable Wind Turbine

It's called the Altaeros Airborne Wind Turbine (AWT).  It was designed by a group of engineers from Harvard and MIT in Massachusetts who call themselves Altaeros Energies.  Their companies main objective is to produce abundant, low-cost, renewable energy, and they are on the right track. The Altaeros airborne wind turbine is a three-blade horizontal axis wind turbine that is in-cased in what looks like a cylindrical blimp with large open air-flow holes on either end of the inflatable device.
