This small working prototype of a floating wind generator is a project of Magenn Power.

The system is bird safe, mobile, and a cost effective way to producing electrical energy.

The University of Guelph uses one of our 21 ft Tethered Blimps to monitor their test crops.

Digital imagery of landscapes is being processed using PCI Geomatica software. Classified imagery is exported to ESRI ArcGIS for integration with ancillary landscape data and subsequent analyses.

High-resolution and time sequence field imagery is acquired from a tethered helium blimp equipped with a gyroscopically-stabilized, remotely-controllable camera mounting platform (Skyview Technologies).

Joe Jordan used one of our blimps to do various air sampling in Chile's Atacama Desert in his work for NASA/Ames Research Center. “That balloon traveled all over that desert, and flew in ferocious winds a bunch of times! Sometime I could tell you some amazing stories about transporting it fully inflated (because we didn't know where our next helium might be coming from, if anywhere close enough). That thing is a trooper! Thanks for all the help!

Members of the research team designed and built a spore sampler that was lifted to various heights by a tethered helium balloon from Mobile Airships. Sampling was possible in remote areas including fields during harvest.

The unique portability allowed this collecting system to be utilized almost anywhere. The balloon was transported in the back of a full-sized pickup truck. Tests showed that the balloon could be operated at heights up to 150 Ft. and in winds up to 10 mph, for up to 6 hours per day.
