KiteGen is a concept for a wind harnessing machine for high altitude winds, developed in Italy. The vertical axis rotation is intended to eliminate the static and dynamic problems that limit the size of conventional wind turbines. The prototype STEM yo-yo is under construction at Berzano di San Pietro in Italy.

== History == The KiteGen was originally conceived by Italian researcher Massimo Ippolito. While observing kite surfers, Ippolito noticed the large amount of energy that the kite could collect and thought that a similar system could produce electricity. This idea seemed so risky that Ippolito put it aside for years.
