Altaeros has designed the BAT to generate consistent, low cost energy for the remote power and microgrid market, including remote and island communities; oil & gas, mining, agriculture, and telecommunication firms; disaster relief organizations; and military bases.

It looks to be less effective and higher maintenance than currently available solutions.
I'd probably need 2 of these to power a BN TOC. That's another 5 ton with trailer burning diesel, and attracting attention. I wouldn't be able to get rid of my diesel and gas generators because wind power is inconsistent, and I'm not waiting for the balloon to inflate before we start operating.
