Standard wind power plants rely on strong support and ______ can only reach the height of 200 meters or so. Higher than that, winds tend to be stronger and steadier, but the challenge is ______ how to obtain the energy from those winds.

Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands and Karlsruhe University of Applied Sciences in Germany have formed a kite-power research group. The group is working to develop kites with inflatable (可充气的) wings ______ to electrical generator (发电机) on the ground.
