@reinpk @orbuch Airborne wind energy.

[Gustaf Alströmer @gustaf]

Y Combinator is coming to Munich to visit CDTM, TUM & LMU on April 23rd. I'm excited to chat with @MarcKlingen from @langfuse (YC W23).

I will also share what I learned from working with over 900 startups at @ycombinator and how to choose the right idea to work on.

If you are a student at one of these schools - we'd love to meet you.

[Max Isensee @MaxIsensea]

@AukeHoekstra @twit_grim Other's are still working on it! @Kitekraft is basically building v2 of Makani.

@ASong408 @kiteKRAFT_tech Not yet. The cheap option was an LTE router with a data plan for a day. ;)

[Max Isensee @MaxIsensea]

@ASong408 @kiteKRAFT_tech We are streaming from a GoPro Hero 12 with OBS. Also used a DJI drone and a night vision cam in previous flights.

[Max Isensee @MaxIsensea]

Maybe something for @bscholl @pronounced_kyle @jasonjoyride ?

[Max Isensee @MaxIsensea]

Unreal to be in the office and still follow our test. Kudos to the crew for turning on the livestream and sharing it with all of us!

[Kitekraft @kiteKRAFT_tech]

Hey everybody, we are again livestreaming one of our test flights! Tune if you want to see the the future of wind power in the making.

Have any questions about Airborne Wind Energy? Just ask in the chat.

Good morning Europe,

Let's get to work…

1) As some of you already heard: the EU has confirmed that they are starting to work on a pan-european legal entity early 2025 🔥

2) Instead of waiting and hoping for the best. We want to frontrun this and – together with the whole startup ecosystem – create the best 👀

Today we are opensourcing a first-draft of how the EU-Inc could look. And we want your contributions.

What are we missing? What's unclear? What edgecase might be an issue? The @euinc_petition needs you! 😉

It's all opensource and public here https://t.co/iaB7x3QglH

This first draft was created with several dozen legal experts in the European ecosystem. Now we are opening it up to the wider community.

We – as a community – got until January 15th to finalize a draft for the EU-Inc.

To contribute simply comment in the notion (seriously what could go wrong 😬) or use the feedback button to send us your thoughts/changes/suggestions/questions.

Please promote this and send this to your friends.
Ask your legal-council to give their feedback too.
Post on twitter your thoughts to give this more reach.

The last time we said "we got 6 weeks" we managed to make this an urgent part of the work agenda.

This time we got 6 weeks to make sure the implementation is right for startups.

Let's show, not tell! 🔥🇪🇺

[Max Isensee @MaxIsensea]

@Ben_Inskeep Build drastically cheaper wind turbines. They also fly. ;)

Two more days of successful flight tests in the books! 🛩

The system is performing more and more robustly allowing us to increase our test frequency and flight durations towards a first pilot implementation.

[Kitekraft @kiteKRAFT_tech]

🔎 We've already share some insights into our recent flights, but this one could be titles the most exciting one!

📈 As you can see in the graphs for accumulated flight distance, you can see a steep increase during this year. And this is just the beginning.

[Max Isensee @MaxIsensea]

@AggyAbhishek Sure, please DM me your mail and I will be in touch.

[Kitekraft @kiteKRAFT_tech]

More great news to share: Kitekraft received a new flight permit from the German Air authorities, the Luftfahrt-Bundesamt.

The new permit is the first of its kind for rigid wing Hashtag#AWES and allows us to fly

🌘 at night, thanks to our new, shiny anti collision lights,

Kitekraft und die neue EEG Förderung für Flugwindenergie bei @agrarheute_com!

Gerade unseren ersten Anlagen mit 100kW und 500kW sind ideal für eine Nutzung in der/mit der Landwirtschaft geeignet.

@sdamico Unfortunately, and even if it would have been favorable to keep nuclear running longer, this is quite misleading. Same seems to go for the original article that surfaced this 'scandal'.

[Max Isensee @MaxIsensea]

@AukeHoekstra @cicero_online Hey @AukeHoekstra, some relevant context to the whole 'scandal' if you have not seen it yet.

Rechte Medien haben wieder eine Kampagne zum #Atomausstieg gestartet. Die "#AKWFiles". Wenn man die Dokumente aber auch wirklich ansieht, fragt man sich, wo der angebliche #Habeck-Skandal sein soll. Die #Cicero-Inszenierung durchleuchtet: https://t.co/TS9WxUoJMm

Solar quadcopter anyone?
