Pulling Power from the Sky: The Story of Makani [Feature Film]

中文导读

Makani 团队历时 13 年尝试用空中风筝捕获高空风力发电,本片完整记录了夏威夷、加州到挪威试飞现场的工程突破与人员故事,以及该项目最终遗憾关停的全过程。

为什么 HN 推它

HN 社区公认制作极其精良、工程干货拉满的硬核纪录片,生动呈现了雄心勃勃的硬件工程探索与它直面的现实失败。

「关于 Makani 的故事拍了一部非常棒的长片纪录片,技术细节极度丰富,非常值得一看。」HN 网友原话:There's a beautiful feature film about the story of Makani. It's a great watch with plenty of technical details
英文原摘要(HackerTube / Claude 整理)

A feature-length film by the Makani team chronicling their thirteen-year effort to build energy kites that harvest wind power, with footage from test sites in Hawaii, California and Norway. It shows the engineering, the team and the eventual shutdown.

HN recommends it as a technically rich, beautifully made documentary on ambitious hardware engineering and failure.

HN 上的提及

reference bruckie · 2020-09 · HN 原文
a feature-length film that talks about Makani's work over the last 13 years
reference pas · 2020-09 · HN 原文
since wind turbines extract power based on the area they sweep, their kite would be able to sweep a bigger area more easily
rec Confiks · 2021-07 · HN 原文
incredible engineering done by Makani, as told in this 2 hours long autodocumentary
reference sangnoir · 2021-07 · HN 原文
even the Makani documentary[2] was mostly about hardware (material science, mechanics, aerodynamics)
