Very different concept though - using a steered kite vs what is basically a self-erecting small wind turbine.

Way less logic and parts needed vs Makani




It seems to me Makani's problem is they wanted larger scale power generation, and of course can't rely on constant wind, so needed a way to settle and recover. Of course that's not a problem for smaller-scale builds like the OP.
