It was originally intended to treat respiratory infections but during testing, it was noted that the drug worked to relieve morning sickness for pregnant women.

Tethered airfoil HAWP devices have 3 main components: 1.) the airfoil or lifting surface, 2.) the tether, and 3.) the anchor point or base station [1]. One of the benefits of these devices over conventional ground based wind turbines is that the material footprint of each device is significantly less than their ground based counterparts for the same amount of power generated [6]. These devices do require slightly different materials than HAWTs for example, however they are not significantly more
