Title: APPARATUS FOR EXTRACTING ENERGY FROM WINDS AT HIGH ALTITUDES ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A wind-operated power-generating module for operation at high altitudes such as 1000 meters comprising a frame struc- ture mounting a pair of vertically-separated parallel shafts around which pass endless belts supporting a series of parallel, elongate wing-like elements for movement around a closed path including the parallel shafts. Wind flow drives these elements around the closed path, to enable electrical power to be gener- ated, and also provides lift to hold the module up at the appropriate high altitude. A number of such modules are tethered in fixed positions in the sky, and are controllable as is appropriate to accommodate changing wind conditions.
