Claim 7:
8. A method comprising:
maneuvering an airship to a desired location, wherein the airship includes:
a fuselage with a longitudinal axis and a transverse axis having a controller;
a thruster secured to the fuselage;

a wind generator having:
a housing that is secured to the fuselage substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, wherein the housing has an interior that is hollow between first and second openings;
a flow straightener secured within the interior of the housing proximate to the first opening; and
a turbine secured within the interior of the housing between the flow straightener and the second opening, wherein the turbine is electrically coupled to the rectifier; and

a lift cell that is secured to the wind generator;

orienting the airship with the thruster such that ambient wind is traveling in a direction that is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the fuselage;
straightening airflow generated by the ambient wind with the flow straightener to generate a substantially laminar flow; and
engaging the turbine with the airflow generated by the ambient wind to generate electricity.
