# Blimp-Mills For Constant Power Anywhere Magenn Air Rotor System (MARS) By Ben Preiss | Published 2007-12-12 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/magenn References: [nytimes](http://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/09/magazine/09_1_turbine.html) & [magenn](http://www.magenn.com/index.php) The problem with most earthbound [wind turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade) is that, even in ideal locations, the wind stops blowing occasionally. A thousand feet in the air however, it's a different story. The wind is strong and constant and that is where the Magenn Air Rotor System ([MARS](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-rover)) is designed to be [tethered](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sceye-haps). Think of the MARS as a spinning blimp with scoops to catch the wind and you won't be far off. Ottawa-based Magenn Power says that a 100ft wide MARS can produce 10 kilowatts of energy anywhere on earth. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.0/10 - Popularity: 77% | Activity: 96% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Constant Wind Power:** The Magenn Air Rotor System (MARS) offers a solution for constant wind power generation by harnessing strong winds at a thousand feet in the air. - **Spinning Blimp Technology:** The use of spinning blimp technology in the Magenn Air Rotor System (MARS) provides a unique and innovative approach to wind power generation. - **Portable Wind Energy:** The portable and scalable nature of the Magenn Air Rotor System (MARS) enables energy production anywhere on earth. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can leverage the Magenn Air Rotor System (MARS) to enhance wind power generation capabilities, especially in areas with intermittent wind supply. - **Aerospace:** The aerospace industry can explore opportunities to collaborate with Magenn Power and develop advanced blimp-mill technologies for various applications, including power generation. - **Remote Locations:** Industries operating in remote locations can benefit from the availability of constant wind power through the utilization of the Magenn Air Rotor System (MARS) for their energy needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Mast-Mounted Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc.md) - [Single-Blade Offshore Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleblade-offshore-wind-turbine.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md) - [Honeycomb-Shaped Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladeless-wind-turbine-design.md) - [Floating Wind Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-platform.md) - [Portable Wind Turbine Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-20.md) - [Portable Energy Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/portable-energy-generator.md) - [Floating Turbine Wind Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petrofac-and-seawind-ocean-technology.md) - [Ultrasonic Balloon-Borne Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blimp-drone.md)
