# Sky-High Wind Harvests Mark Moore Takes Green Tech to the Skies with Flying Turbines By Jordan M | Published 2011-01-04 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mark-moore References: [nasa.gov](http://www.nasa.gov/topics/technology/features/capturingwind.html) For [NASA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-tower-1) engineer Mark Moore, looking to the skies for answers to the planet's energy problems was less about spiritual salvation than it was about seeing opportunity and practical promise. For although the idea of [wind-power generation](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beam-global) is nothing new, Mark Moore is quick to point out the utter and complete power of this element, especially at high altitudes. Thus, Mark Moore's brave new technology will place [wind turbines at higher distances](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blademade). The future of wind technology is definitely starting to look up—literally! ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 62% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **High-altitude Wind Power:** Opportunity to harness the immense power of wind at higher altitudes through innovative turbine technology. - **Renewable Energy Innovation:** Exploration of new ways to generate clean and sustainable energy from wind sources. - **Vertical Wind Turbines:** Development of vertical turbines that can operate at high altitudes and maximize wind energy conversion. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Renewable Energy:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the renewable energy sector by leveraging high-altitude wind power for increased efficiency and scalability. - **Aerospace:** Collaboration between aerospace and wind power industries to develop and integrate flying wind turbine technology. - **Power Generation:** Integration of high-altitude wind turbines with existing power generation systems for enhanced renewable energy production. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wind-Powered Flying Vehicles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/super-flying-car.md) - [Single-Blade Offshore Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/singleblade-offshore-wind-turbine.md) - [Honeycomb-Shaped Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bladeless-wind-turbine-design.md) - [Portable Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/Portable-Wind-Generator.md) - [Mast-Mounted Wind Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grain-blanc.md) - [Travel-Ready Wind Turbines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-turbine-generator.md) - [Portable Wind Turbine Generators](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shine-20.md) - [Floating Turbine Wind Farms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/petrofac-and-seawind-ocean-technology.md) - [Floating Wind Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wind-platform.md)
