Muva nje, i-AirLoom Energy, okuyinkampani esaqalayo yase-Wyoming, e-USA, ithole uxhaso lwemali engu-US$4 million ukukhangisa ngeyokuqala.

Ubuchwepheshe bokukhiqiza amandla "ithrekhi namaphiko".

Idivayisi yakhiwe ngokwesakhiwo abakaki, amathrekhi namaphiko.Njengoba kubonakala esithombeni esingezansi, ubude be-

ubakaki ungamamitha angama-25.Ithrekhi iseduze naphezulu kubakaki.Amaphiko amamitha angu-10 ubude afakwe kumzila.

Zishelela eduze kwethrekhi ngaphansi kwethonya lomoya futhi zikhiqize ugesi ngomshini wokuphehla amandla.

Lobu buchwepheshe bunezinzuzo ezinkulu eziyisithupha -

Ukutshalwa kwezimali okuqinile kuphansi njenge-US$0.21/watt, okuyikota eyodwa yamandla omoya ajwayelekile;

Izindleko ezilinganisiwe zikagesi ziphansi njenge-US$0.013/kWh, okuyingxenye eyodwa kwezintathu yamandla omoya ajwayelekile;

Ifomu liyavumelana nezimo futhi lingenziwa libe i-eksisi eqondile noma i-eksisi evundlile ngokwezidingo, futhi kungenzeka kokubili emhlabeni nasolwandle;

Ukuthutha okulula, isethi yemishini engu-2.5MW idinga kuphela iloli elivamile lamabhokisi;

Ukuphakama kuphansi kakhulu futhi akuthinti ukubuka okukude, ikakhulukazi uma kusetshenziswe olwandle;

Izinto zokwakha kanye nezakhiwo zijwayelekile futhi kulula ukwenza.

Le nkampani yaqasha lowo owayeyisikhulu se-Google u-Neal Rickner, owayehola ukuthuthukiswa kokukhiqizwa kwamandla kaMakani

kite, njenge-CEO.

I-AirLoom Energy ithe le mali eyizigidi ezi-4 zamaRandi izosetshenziselwa ukwakha imodeli yokuqala engu-50kW, futhi yethemba ukuthi

ngemva kokuvuthwa kobuchwepheshe, ekugcineni bungasetshenziswa kumaphrojekthi amakhulu wokuphehla ugesi emakhulwini amamegawathi.

Kuyafaneleka ukubalula ukuthi lolu xhaso lwezimali luqhamuke esikhungweni semali esibizwa nge- “Breakthrough Energy Ventures”,

umsunguli wayo nguBill Gates.Ophethe le nhlangano uthe lolu hlelo luxazulula izinkinga zesintu

izisekelo zamandla omoya nemibhoshongo njengezindleko eziphakeme, indawo enkulu yaphansi, nokuhamba okunzima, futhi kunciphisa kakhulu izindleko.
