We already do harness the jet stream for energy use. Commercial jets regularly use it save on fuel economy when flying to the east.
Looks like one possible over look of equipment was the propane cylinders in the balloon. Propane itself boils at about minus 43 deg (close whether F or C). If it's LPG gas and contains butane the fuel can boil at near 0 deg C for butane.
This is OK on the ground in 25 deg C air but not high up where it's at least -40 or lower C! This is probably why the burners failed and did not relight until the balloon descended and the tanks warmed up where sufficient pressure would power the burners again.
I really enjoyed this video and how well it was documented. I'm a licensed skydivee with nearly 900 jumps. I once jumped from nearly 8km up.
That's a well-known and completely predictable issue. It's insane they weren't aware of it.
Man...these guys need to get with the HALO boys in SF! I'm sure they have the gear that can handle those temps!
I was thinking the same thing. Any developed country with Special Operations guys will have all the correct HAHO gear. A lot of it has been declassified so you can buy it if you have enough money, which he does.
It's basic common sense to use some of the HALO/HAHO precautions but it seems they had no clue what they were doing.
Just ascending in a hot air balloon with that flame gushing up is, I believe, insanity personified.
Thank you for the laugh @veritas41photo
Looking back, I have to agree that ascending into the jet stream in a hot air balloon with a roaring flame might seem a bit insane. It was certainly an adventure, but I think I'll leave those kinds of escapades to others from now on. Thanks for your comment! Kind regards, Marc (the skydiver in this film)
This was a really nice well put together documentary. Enjoyed finding out about the different ways they are trying to harness the energy of the jet stream etc, and watching you fly was a bonus! :)
Thank you so much, @User36282 for your comment.
I'm delighted you enjoyed the documentary and found the efforts to harness jet stream energy fascinating. It was an incredible journey to film, and I'm glad you appreciated the flying scenes too-they were definitely a highlight for me (in the training, not so much in the jet stream jump...)!
Your kind words mean a lot. Thanks again for watching!
Oh man.... this is eerie.... i was ment to go for a joy flight with stephen, unfortunatelty he lost his life in a mid air collision last year.
Awesome to see some happy moments.
STEFAN ZEBERLI?
@@ilon7799 gale... the aussie pilot flying the jet
It baffles me how you didn’t do a HALO jump to prepare for this, they already have the equipment and protocols for high altitude jumping.
53:45 is the HALO
What's interesting in that respect, HALO is primarily a military operation, and we do not know their full capabilities. It could be that a "record" is dubious. jmho
@@realNetGear Yea most people use military acronyms incorrectly and have no business talking about it :-) Can't deny the man doesn't skydive from Altitude and open his shoot at low altitude
That's EXTREME Sport 💯
Thank you for your comment. I don't see myself as a traditional extreme sports athlete. Instead, I consider myself an activist, using my platform to promote important causes and inspire new ideas and change.
Kind regards, Marc
Very cool! I loved that they didn't take themselves too seriously as well. Great work🤙
I’m surprised Redbull didn’t jump on this! Get it!
What a fantastic story. Great to see someone harness their fear into something amazing.
I was thinking the same. Amazing guy
Soldiers have been dropping through the jet stream for decades. This was nothing but a rich boy trying to steal their glory. Pitiful. You can't ignore facts & pretend you're the first.
I want to
Break this
Record
Of fastest horizontal speed by a human
Yeah, let’s put thousands of shipping container sized generators into the jet stream and block its flow and slow it down….what could POSSIBLY go wrong? The pipe dream of “free energy” that doesn’t destroy the environment in thousands of creative new ways is going to destroy more than they can imagine. Remember when everyone said “Let’s put our waste in the ocean, it’s so big what could go wrong? Let’s harness commercial fishing for good healthy high protien food source! WHAT could go wrong?
Thank you @viscache1 for your thoughtful comment. I appreciate your concern about the potential negative impacts of new technologies. I, too, approach new developments with scepticism. However, in this case, I believe that the 1% of the jet stream's energy needed to solve our global energy problems would not significantly disrupt its flow. In fact, harnessing just 0.1% of the jet stream's power could potentially meet up to 10% of our global energy needs. It's important to carefully consider and research these possibilities, and your concerns are a valuable part of that discussion. Thank you for engaging with this topic.
I think the size of the jet streams would play into it. The jet streams are several hundreds of miles wide, thousands of feet thick, and thousands of miles long. I think there would be ways to safely do it without worrying about changing them, just because of how large they are. It would probably take more than we would need to change them. There are also 4 of them. We wouldn't have to focus on just one, to decrease the chances of it bothering them.
It's a different source of energy - coriolis effect.
The issue is less the impact it will have on the energy souce itself (as it is renewable) but more the impact on the planet in terms of the materials and resources needed to engineer the bridge across the energy gap between non-renewables and renewables. Lithium, Cobalt, etc. And all still towards a system of supply and demand, and consumerism that neccessitates an ideology of extreme growth and scalability with an assumption of infinite growth on finite resources. Changing our energy supply and reducing the cost is not in the interest of many.
I like this guy Mark - well done champ!...much respect from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Thank you @TheRealKlinky very much for your kind words and support! It means a lot to me. Sending warm regards all the way from Switzerland to Zimbabwe, Marc (the skydiver in the film)
What an amazing story and a great watch. You're all totally nuts, but that's what life and living it is all about! 😮
I don't see this scaling well industrially, too fiddly, but it's pretty cool all the same. Cheers.
While watching this I'm wondering didn't Felix Baumgartner become the fastest human ever in a freefall? He jumped from the edge of space and broke the sound barrier on his way down.
Different record. This is a tracking record. Tracking is when you use your body to fly in a certain direction. Felix went straight down, he also probably broke a spinning record lol
@@djhexRight. So why didn't he use a wingsuit?
So glad you did this, that was a great adventure and also a wonderful learning experience. Ty
I bet a good few operators in Special Forces units have clocked up some crazy speeds during high altitude jumps into operations!
Where was Red Bull, these stunt is bad ass
Keep up the good work, Rudy! Praise God!
Sykne mad was my first thought, but very interesting and brave challenge to take on. Good idea to jump as some kind of gas was leaking is a bad sign, thinking was working well for him. I thoroughly enjoyed the show., Cheers or Slainte 👍 55:37 ❤️
Why take a damn balloon up lol
How does he suggest we harness the power from the jet stream.
Thank you for your question. Our documentary primarily aims to highlight the potential benefits of harnessing high-altitude wind energy. While capturing energy from the jet stream is still somewhat science fiction, it’s a future possibility worth exploring. Advances in technology and strong political will could make this a reality. We wanted to draw attention to the immense energy potential that high-altitude winds offer. Thanks for your interest and for watching. Kind regards, Marc
The jetstream is no longer a wave pattern flow.
The jetstream are chaos .
As is the geomagnetic stability
This was soooo awesome guys keep going and going!!!
19:00 Why am I suddenly watching a 55yo's doctor appointment? Did he really need a doctor to tell him that "he should be careful while landing"?
People is Madness.
Ok, if this was a first, then what the hell is a HALO jump?
I got a video on my profile where you could see those effects inside a passenger airplane...I was travelling and the speedometer showed 1100kph 🤯
Thank you! This was thrilling to watch. The team effort and the idea of utilizing the jet streams as an energy source, which in itself is brilliant and just in its infancy, is well worth pursuing. Respect to all involved! All the best from the UK.
Thank you @hanzkoenig very much for your kind words! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the video. The startups we present have put a lot of effort into exploring the potential of utilizing high altitude wind energy, and it's fantastic to see such positive feedback. Your support means a lot and motivates me to keep pushing forward with this innovative idea of promoting startups in the field of clean energy. Sending my best regards from Switzerland
Marc
Luckily, he did not lose his helmet with the helmet strap undone...
Fear? Maybe the EXTREME EXCITEMENT of the jump!
28:45
Maybe some NiChrome wire, with a slight coating to keep direct contact.
It doesn’t have to be on all the time. So maybe a 9 Amp hour battery to be safe?
Just a Milwaukee Red 9.
You can heat up the wire to 40 C. Even 45 C against the visor and it won’t cause any melting- but it should transfer enough heat to stop the buildup of ice.
And the whole unit would weigh maybe .5 a kilo.
Fascinating to watch this well put tohether documentary, from the purpose, the fear, the intricate safety and training and all the different people with expert skillsets in their disciplines to make this project successful. It was an amazing journey for me to watch. The strongest emotion I had (as I felt I was actually there) was when I wished I had tandemed off the balloon since at that moment I felt the odds of parachuting were safer than the burners coming back to life. 😉 I'm glad everyone made it to the ground safely but unfortunate a new higher record was unable to be acquired at the time. Thank you!
And what about Felix Baumgartner's supersonic freefall?! Isn't that the current altitude and speed record? Or that is another category?
Can they do wireless energy harnessing instead of cables ?
Thank you for your question. The kites need to be tethered to the ground to prevent them from flying away. The cable plays a crucial role in energy generation as it converts the kite's motion into electrical energy, much like a bicycle dynamo. A spool on the ground converts this mechanical energy into electricity.
Kind regards,
Marc
Impressive 👍😁
Evidently Nick Saban has been keeping busy since retirement🧐 @27:58
I see the similarity
Taking energy from the jetstream........what could possibly go wrong??
Thanks for your comment! You’re right, there are indeed risks involved in harnessing energy from the jetstream. Currently, startups in the field of Airborne Wind Energy are focusing on generating energy at altitudes of a few hundred meters. It makes a lot of sense to go as high as possible because the energy available increases significantly with altitude.
Kind regards
Marc
Just need a C-17 and some Green Berets, then you can jump from 30,000 feet
Thank you @tomwilson1006 for your comment. Our team specifically aimed to jump from a system naturally carried by the jet stream, rather than from an airplane. Jumping from an aircraft didn’t align with our goal of demonstrating the potential of harnessing high-altitude wind energy in an organic way. I appreciate your interest and hope this explanation makes sense. Thanks for watching!
Let's hear about the fires, & the hurricanes.
8800 is like you on Everest. Imagine those people climbing up there without oxygen! 🙌🥇
Jee I hope he was an electronic heater for his Long-John Skivvy Drawers.
At least 500 watts.
Haha @uncbadguy , you've got a point there! Trust me, I would've gladly welcomed an electronic heater not just for my Long-John Skivvy Drawers, but for my entire body in those -40° temperatures up in the jet stream! Maybe next time we'll consider adding a portable sauna to the gear list. Thanks for the chuckle. Best regards, Marc
@@MarcHauser_keynote-speaker 60 years ago I would have loved to do what you did.
I'm even jealous.
I didn't get to do that kind of stuff.
I lived a long time instead.
😆👍
@@uncbadguy It's wonderful to hear that my experiences resonate with you. I believe every journey has its own unique adventures and wisdom. Your long life is surely full of amazing stories and achievements.
Best wishes and take care, kind regards, Marc
a red bull guy jumped from the brinks of space.. how is this guy the first dude to jump through the jet stream?
The jet streams drive the planets weather so it's a bit of a worry when people start trying to tap into it for energy production. A few will not change anything but a whole planet doing the same with millions of such things tapping into the jet stream might be enough to cause major issues.
The best thing is you and your team survive the jump, though you couldn't break your own record but perhaps next time you will definitely be successful.
Amazing video❤
Weird I saw a parachuting man fly over the interstate on my way home to today Phone must have been listening to me, as this was in my feed.
Not a skydiving pro, and my question may highlight that very thing. I have to ask about 5 minutes into the video. What seemed obvious to me wasn't even discussed(probably for obvious reasons). Why doesn't/didn't he wear a wingsuit in his jet stream skydiving attempt? The free fall time and speed are 2 times longer and faster. I have a couple of ideas why that is, but why guess when I'm sure someone has the answer. Enjoyed the video.
The wingsuit, by design, creates drag. Drag is the enemy of speed. His goal, once in the stream is to reduce drag and surface area as much as possible to increase speed. This is why terminal velocity of a belly to earth track is about 120mph and a head down track has been up in the 300mph range, in the same air density.
@@FailingAtFarmChores Ah, gotcha.
Thank you @American-Nobody for your question and for watching the video. As you mentioned, I’m not a professional skydiver, and that’s a good point to start from. We experimented with different suits to achieve the highest possible horizontal speed. Unfortunately, every suit with more surface area, like a typical wingsuit, ended up slowing me down. The wingsuit's spread arms create more drag, which reduces horizontal speed. That's why, from an aerodynamic perspective, we decided to go with a simple, commercial suit that allows for stretched arms and legs, minimizing resistance. I’m glad you enjoyed the video and appreciate your interest. Kind regards, Marc, the skydiver with the zero-wing suit.
@@FailingAtFarmChores Thank you for your insightful comment. You've captured the key points perfectly. The design of a wingsuit indeed creates drag, which works against achieving higher speeds. Our goal was to minimize drag and surface area to maximize speed, just as you described. Your understanding of terminal velocity and the impact of body position on speed is spot on. Thanks again for watching and for your thoughtful input. KInd regards from Switzerland, Marc
@@MarcHauser_keynote-speaker I genuinely appreciate your response. As I genuinely appreciate your pursuit of speed and pushing the edge! God speed, going forward!
fun ,not quite at the level of Felix Baumgartners 39km jump ,and supersonic mach 1.25 ,but fun . Interesting, a lady para glider got sucked up over 10 000 meters in Aussie a while back in a thunder cloud , passed out ,but lived to tell the tale . We have new energy systems coming ,and even thorium would be a lot better than crazy kites ,even if they are fun .A reliable grid system needs to be able to produce peak load when needed not when the wind blows , actually Aussie is showing just how bad the whole mad green wind power scam is .A few people are milking the tax payers good intentions .Even when the wind is blowing coal[ or gas] steam is being generated ready to kick in if the wind dies .With big steam generators they don't ramp up and down very fast [ and nuclear is worse ,hydro is actually best ]. so need an excess of steam ready to take up load changes , they can time it to suit expected daily patterns ,but still need to be burning enough coal to meet the load if the wind dies ,is there actually any net gain ,ever ??. In NZ we do have the hydro ,and geothermal power, so wind can actually contribute quite efficiently ,but on the whole it is just greeny propaganda, costing taxpayers to make politicians look good ,temporarily ,till people find out . Have to add,same with electric cars , if 80-90% of the worlds power is still coal , they are effectively coal powered cars and very expensive in resources over their whole life cycle .
@johnmarkgatti3324 I completely agree that Felix Baumgartner's jump was on another level of extreme!
- And on another level of sponsorship as well.
Regarding energy systems, it's a complex issue with many factors to consider. While wind and solar power have their limitations and challenges, they are part of a broader strategy to diversify our energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels. Every energy system has its pros and cons, and the goal is to find a balanced mix that ensures reliability, sustainability, and efficiency. Thanks a lot for watching our documentary.
@@MarcHauser_keynote-speaker Good man , and hats off for pushing your envelope , [ i windsurf ,the fastest sailors all tend to have 'natural ballast' I can't compete ]. Sad really, red bull is a product to avoid at all costs not suitable for human consumption , but have to love their pushing of human achievements . I have no doubt your heart is in the right place about energy systems , but you may not have realized how a good /vital, cause has been hijacked , actually by seriously evil forces ,now deep do you want to go ? , this was all planned decades even centuries ago. In the UK alone , the cost to tax payers to run wind farms is billions a year due to the increase in natural gas use , Paul Burgess is one of many many good actual working scientists helping debunk and expose the faux bought and paid for 'climate science ' water carriers .
ruclips.net/video/vmMboQeCmkc/видео.html .
at about the 5 minute mark he shows the actual consumption of Nat gas used to help run the green agenda wind farms , these figure are seen all over , the subsidized solar and wind farms , are never over all ,cradle to grave energy positive ,and are creating a serious waste problem [ the thorium reactors can be used to break down the normal nuke waste ]. Marc Morano has a good book ' the politically incorrect guide to Climate Change ' still a good read . Funny, Even Michael Moore, [somebody I would class as a hopeless cause] has done an expose [ and naturally heavily sensored ] documentary on the failed green agenda . Professor William Happer at Harvard has done many good posts ,and is part of a team of about 16 000 real world working scientists trying to expose the politically motivated [actually money driven ,All Gore has made around 300 million from it and wants more ,that would be called war profiteering in old school thinking , a clue to his heart . A bit like Bill gates making 100s of millions off vaccines to 'rescue humanity ' yeah right ]. I love tech and experimenting ,and ideally, local non hierarchical power grid systems ,but we are currently being sold a total pup with the attack on 'Geological Hydro carbons ' [ only coal is fossil it seems ] . and the're causing a global melt down . Really basic, if clouds which we all know block the suns heat and cool us down ,come from the oceans and the evaporation is energy driven , wouldn't an increase in the oceans energy cause more cloud ,so re-balancing the whole thermal system ?. I was thinking ,have you followed aero gels for thermal insulation , they are the best so far ,you can I believe get a 'felt 'in sheets ,surprised we haven't seen thermal suits yet , eastern Russians could do with them , -ve 50 is getting quite common in their winters it seems .
NZ is in a good situation. Detractors like to go on about the importation of coal but they don’t offer any constructive suggestions. In fact it’s mainly gas that is used to top up hydro etc but even the coal plant is relatively efficient. Investment in wind and solar generation depends on profitability and ironically the Tiwai announcement will increase supply because of the rise in spot prices.
He said: "I really wonder why we don't harness this high altitude wind power as an energy source"
How clueless.
There are other truly free and unlimited sources of energy available; all of which so absurdly more capable than a bunch of wind ribbons all the way up in the stratosphere... (completely impractical for anything other than perhaps a spur-of-the-moment thing.)
This video was an interesting curiosity; nothing more.
😄
yeah I'm not surprised that it's not too popular.
Better to leave the Jet Stream alone, abundance create stupid men.
Why didnt he use a wingsuit?
Excellent documentary. Wish more people watch it, especially students.
Thank you for your comment. I completely agree-the younger generation must find inspiration and enthusiasm to shape the future. I hope, our documentary can help to spark that passion and drive. And I hope, more students see it and feel motivated to make a difference.

@@MarcHauser_keynote-speaker Jet streams help the aircrafts fly faster. It influences the climate of certain regions in our part of the world too.

Very bemusing decisions here. Issues with oxygen free flowing are well-known and entirely predictable. Same with the burners flaming out.
Did they even do some cursory research? Have they studied any basic science? Outfits who do HALO jumps and watching how Baumgartner's jump was planned would have helped to avoid these super basic and obvious issues and hopefully helped to avoid any more serious problems that they also hadn't begun to consider.
Overall confusingly amateurish and they are lucky nobody got hurt.
I thought wind was relative. If you are falling through the jet stream is the same as falling in dead calm. Sure the boundary’s will feel different but I remember doing cross country’s in high winds and even with open parachutes the boundaries mostly were just temperature difference’s. For sure speed over ground changed. We just removed our static line reserve system so we could cut away clean after landing. Jumping way high is a big deal you need oxygen, fall fast and have little control in thin air. Tracking in thin air seems hardly worth it.
The best trackers are tall and skinny.
Actually no your not......this was done in the 1980's, a jump was made from orbit to the planets surface. you are a long way behind, current lateral over ground speed is over 2400MPH.
Kein Berner Akzent?😅
Leave it to AU for having so many regulations and rules to limit his effort cant go to high for example.. of course they are a colony and got the same kind of over burden laws and regulations from Britain...yikes this is an old video though...while world record balloon height records have been set in other countries and the US
Why don't you use a wing suit?
I don’t understand the point of these tests that’s why airplanes that fly in the jetstream are pressurized with oxygen obviously, he’s gonna need a little oxygen tank to jump out of the balloon with Duh😮
Thank you for @rogerrolex6981 your comment! You're absolutely right about the need for oxygen at those altitudes. For my jump, I actually designed and wore my own specialized oxygen system to ensure I had the necessary support while exiting the balloon. It's great that commercial aircraft already use the jet stream to boost their eastward flights. Beyond that, high-altitude wind holds tremendous potential to enhance our energy security for the future.
Wind farms on cables. Sounds not ver smart to me. The Jet streams changing hundrets of kilometers per day. What is with air traffic? They cant see these cables?
No wingsuit?
@jamesflake6601
We actually opted against using a wingsuit in this case. In traditional skydiving with a wingsuit, the jumper spreads their arms, creating significant horizontal resistance in the air. So, instead of increasing our speed, it would have slowed us down. We made a conscious decision to forgo wearing one, and instead, we chose a conventional suit for this very reason. Thanks for asking. Kind regards, Marc
Ive heard of sending wifi signals long distance using old satellite dishes, you'd properly want to be somewhere up high above any interface ........... A little more advanced but You can also transmit a lot of directed energy to, though and from remote flight vehicles before ionization of the atmosphere crashes the party. Nowadays you'd just need a RC motor and a Verizon i phone 💯💢👽
Great documentary, respect. However seeing you had a bummed knee and watching those landings hurt my knees, lol. You probably know this by now, but flaring too soon, you may benefit from a larger canopy for softer landings because of your knee.
Regardless im 3/4 through watching, so far, awesomeness!
the gentleman with the knee injury i noticed your shoes, get better running shoes and experiment with tie the laces tighter in the forefoot front area by the toes, :) hope u feel better soon
people dont realize the lacing has so much to do with the knee , i run 50 mile a week hope this helps you too :)
Why try to extract energy from the jet stream when the ionosphere has orders of magnitude more energy available? Tesla knew this 100 years ago
Any special forces units will have done this if they’re HAHO qualified.
*cough* SFOD-Delta.
Yea this will definitely work.....said no one. What a waste of time/money. Like we don't have enough wire/nets in the ocean now.
53:50 you are welcome
Felix broke the speed of sound when he jumped out of the balloon. Good luck
1:19 🤨 Because it is absolutely impossible to do 🤦♂️
Epic
It is a great adventure video. I was abruptly shocked, when Mark had to jump because of the oxygen and balloon problems. That's when all my trust fell away, when they supered the speed of the Jetstream at 53:46 as 140 kph. That, "kph" symbol is wrong, non-standard and meaningless. The correct Metric Symbol is "km/h". That moment signaled FAIL in the Metric terminology department. Producer, please address your production team and graphic designers. You must be correct to maintain credibility. You may think people know what you mean but your finished product is WRONG.
where are the British youth ??? OPEN YOUR EYES !!! save your nation, save your country !!! God saves you all !
"kph" is completely incorrect, the proper way of stating "Kilometeres per hour" is "Km/h.
Lack of forethought here.
Hi @rogerswyer5357 I appreciate your concern. However, I want to assure you that we took extensive measures to mitigate any potential risks. In the film, you can see that we not only utilized a cold chamber but also underwent training with the Swiss Army in a low-pressure environment to prepare. Additionally, I developed my own oxygen system, which I wore and functioned flawlessly throughout the adventure.
It's true that the complexity of preparations can sometimes escalate both in terms of personnel and finances, but that's an inherent element of adventure. Today's adventures, if they truly are adventures, can never be entirely risk-free.
We're conscious of the areas we may have overlooked and have learned from those experiences, ensuring that future adventures will be even better prepared. Thanks for engaging in this discussion. Best, Marc

Don't let that glider system get developed who wants to see that thing flying around in circles anywhere another man eyesore ridiculous
Hi @makenchips
It's worth noting that high-altitude wind systems typically fly at heights of several hundred meters, making them barely visible from the ground. Therefore, they're unlikely to be perceived as eyesores or cause visual disturbance. You can rest assured that these concerns can be put aside. Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

-50C environment, breathing pressurized O2 as it releases will become colder, moisture from your lungs will create ice. If it freezes up and as noted will. You will loose consciousness and be in plenty of trouble. Heating system likely will help but your oxygen system is at a level of a home made craft to go deep in the ocean. Best of luck in your quest don't kill yourself. A ETT tube flexible extension is also not your friend. Your wasteful, a nasal cannula is a better choice of tube getting direct into your nose not your mask. Venturi effect of your flight will just suck out the 100% O2 that is helping. A positive pressure mask on your face is a better idea. Pressure is what is laking in all this system to drive the O2 into your lung tissue into your blood stream.

Staaaallllllllll
I don't know who will see this but christ loves you and is the only way to reconciliation with God because we've all done wrong and need forgiveness.
So, this video is actually almost seven years old now. Niether Twig or Brainwhere, from what I can find, have production systems working yet. I see so many failure points with the concept. Most of all, failing materials, which will happen, and things falling out of the sky uncontrollably. Also, the jet stream moves....and moves often. Its also seasonal. Brainwhere claims to be mobil but...I suspect regulations are even more intense in Europe than here in the states. How are they just going to be able to move and chase the jet stream exactly?
Im all for new tech and solutions for cleaner energy production. But wind and solar have clearly been shown to be unreliable and too costly. We've harnessed the power of the atom for God's sake! Nuclear is clean (well, CO2 is actually clean as well regardless of the propaganda! It used to be called the gas of life because..it is! History will show that our adding CO2, which we've only added about 3% since more than 96% comes from natural process, had saved not only humanity but all life on the planet).
Thanks to Soviet centralized govt and building reactors on the cheap, Japan being dumb enough to build next to an ocean with backup generators below sea level....the media has got the ignorant masses terrified of what has been the single most safe form of energy yet!
Solar, wind and batteries....they aren't ready yet! We are wasting billions, likely approaching trillions to solve a non problem. Climate change is a political issue with very little to do with actual science!
Hi @Sabotage_Labs
thanks for your thoughtful comment. I’m Marc Hauser, the skydiver featured in the film, and I’m passionate about promoting high-altitude wind energy. I understand your concerns and appreciate your scepticism. Let me address some of the points you’ve raised.
The video is indeed several years old. However, progress in high-altitude wind energy is ongoing. Twintec and Brainwhere are developing their technologies, and while they may not have commercial systems yet, innovation in this field takes time.
Material Durability and Safety: The risk of failing materials and falling components is a critical consideration. Researchers are working on using advanced, durable materials and incorporating fail-safes to minimize these risks. Safety is a priority in the development of any new technology.
Jet Stream Mobility: You’re correct that the jet stream is dynamic and seasonal. However, high-altitude wind energy systems are designed to be adaptable. The idea is to harness wind from various high-altitude currents, not just the jet stream. Mobility and adaptability to different wind patterns are key aspects of these systems.
Regulations: Regulatory challenges are indeed significant, especially in Europe. However, companies work closely with regulatory bodies to ensure compliance and safety. The potential benefits of harnessing high-altitude wind energy justify these efforts.
Reliability of Wind and Solar: While wind and solar energy have challenges, advancements are being made to improve efficiency and reduce costs. High-altitude wind energy offers a potentially more reliable and powerful alternative due to the consistent and strong winds at higher altitudes.

Thanks for engaging in this important discussion!
If you think putting things into the jet stream is going to slow it down, you’re way beyond the explanation. Vote Trump, right…? Flat earth?
Why cant we take power from the jet stream??? Dumb. Rich man but dumb.
Warbling plane to generate energy? Mad science
nice attempt. lessons learned by entire team. closer to the goal 👍
