Omnidea uses Zemic S-type loadcells, assembly and transmitters in her project H.A.W.E. (High Altitude Wind Energy). This project focuses on a high altitude platform for wind energy conversion capable of varying the altitude at which the energy is produced. Also having no fans of any type in use; it produces energy from the aerodynamic forces acting upon an airborne airfoil-like craft. If connected to the ground through a tether cable, this apparatus can convert wind energy into electrical energy, in a completely new and innovative way. This type of construction allows a significant price reduction per unit of power installed as well as an easier implementation of the concept in off-shore applications (regardless of water depth). Omnidea is committed towards technological evolution and innovative thinking from state-of-the-art scientific knowledge.
The quality / service and price ratio from Zemic Europe convinced Omnidea to use the H3G S-type loadcells, S-type assembly such as hook and eye bolts in combination with a tranmitter to convert the mV/V signal into a 4-20mA signal to measure the pulling force of the HAWE Balloons.

More about how it works; the Magnus effect.
The Magnus effect, the operating principle of this platform, is a physical phenomenal occurring for rotating rounded-cross section bodies (cylinders, spheres), immersed in a fluid in motion. The rotation pushes fluid against the incoming fluid in the bottom part of the body and extracts fluid in the upper part of the body; this creates region of increased pressure in the bottom part and of decreased pressure in the upper part, thus generating aerodynamic lift. This force is, hence, dependent on the speed of the flow around the platform and the rotation of the platform itself, both parameters (speed of the undisturbed fluid, U and rotating speed, w) increasing the magnitude of the Magnus effect as they increase.
