K3
~~~ AWE Era ~~~
The space race Sputnik-(1957)-charged introduced a synergy
that resulted in increased manned kiting activity by NASA and associated
companies and individuals, including hgh-speed moving moorings of tethered
lifting bodies. This brought in a run of patents over the Wanner wing, Rogallo
wing, Barish sailwing, Jalbert parafoil, and many versions of what was
then termed paraglider which wrapped flexible sail over frames (unlike the
later use of the term paraglider). The free-flight governable parachutes
increased in importance. The severe kiting in the Paresev program included
release-for-glide weight-shift control (move payload mass relative to attitude
of wing). Such kiting gave impetus to expanding
uses of large kites,
both with moving moorings and free-flight kites. Children of such investments
and experience may be seen in the surge of hang gliding, traction-kiting
sports, the 1970s AWECS bump, and even much of 2000s professional AWECS race.
It may be said that a huge new golden age of kiting K2 was birthed by the
communications of Domina C. Jalbert and Francis M. Rogallo moved along by
political pressures and competitions punctuated with the need for freedom
expressed in recreational manned kiting found in Igor Bensen, aqua-kiting, hang
gliding, and gliding sky-diving. It is suspected that K2 has been blossoming to
be a diamond Age of Tethered Aviation and Kite Energy that will be a
deserving winner of the K3 name;
founders of
K3 will be viewable in part in the AWEIA international's coming
Founder's Circle collection of over 600 persons, certainly less than the
full community that will expand to tens of thousands. The
neat thing is that K1 and K2 remain alive and well, even while K3 is
being nursed by centers in Belgium, Ireland, England, Netherlands,
Russia, China, USA, Nigeria, Germany, France, Mexico, Syria, Nigeria, India,
France, and many other corners of earth... Use kites
to do special works including the making of useful stored energy or energy sent
into energy-distribution systems: K3 ~~AWE Era~~

This uses the reel method where traction phase is a reel-out generating phase
and where the reel-in recovery stage is an energy-costing phase; the gain is
approximately the difference between the the traction phase and recovery phase.
Recovery phase is lowered in cost by reducing the tension of the tether via
reduction of the lift and drag of the tethered airfoil (kite).

- Killer kites:
Three types of killer kites are recognized in kiting. One type of killer kite
has the task of taking out of flight another kite; such is in sport and also in
practical kite energy operations to take out a kite that is fugitive. Another
killer kite regards the notorious kites that cause death and injury; some
nations' kite festivals have been marred or cancelled because of killer kites;
governments have gotten involved to halt or slow the effect of killer kites.
The kite's glassed lines or the kite's metallic base material have resulted in
far too many deaths and injuries. <ref>[
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/2978988.stm Pakistan tackles

kite type. Another type of "killer kite" are those that simply deeply astound
viewers and users with some unique exciting quality.<ref>[

kite is
the default term for just the wing part of a complete kite; once a wing is
conceived as part of a complete kite, then the wing alone---which is not a kite
(not complete, just the wing)--is frequently said to be the "kite" as default
term, even though the background unsaid is that there is for a complete kite a
necessary bridle-tether-resistive-anchor assembly needed to be (fully) kite.
This defaulting regarding just the wing goes into the geometrical world where
just the format of the quadrilateral adopts the word "kite" in the mathematical
and art world. Anyone using kites as a flying machine has the wing part,
tether part, and the cause of resistance that brings on the necessary tension
in the tether part in order to have "kite" (complete). That is, wing
alone does not make the flying-machine "kite".
K=(w,t,r)
- '''Kites''' are fluid craft composed
of wings coupled by tether to a resisting source. When the wings are bridled
effectively, and a net flow reacts with the wings and resisted by the kite's
necessary resisting source (anchor, mooring, etc.) then a resulting lift and
drag results to effect sustained flight in the fluid. Frequently, the wing of a
kite is called "kite" while a wing alone is not the full kite. A wing alone
might be a glider, but in itself is not a kite. A kite might consist of many
wings, many tethers, and even many resisting elements. The stream flow where
kiting actions occur may be artificial flow, natural flow, or apparent flow
during a falling gliding kiting. The anchoring resisting the wing's lift and
drag may be moving in many ways (earth rotation, human hand, tugging boat,
another wing, kite-boarder's body, a falling payload, or a moving fishing pole.
Fluid choices are not limited to air or water, but those are the most common
fluids where one finds kites.

interview. His sailwing was arranged into a kite format with kite lines
and himself as the resistive payload; it was a kite; he ground kited it
and then glided his kite. The wing's airfoil was patented as "glide wing" but
the wing materialized for a kite use for kite gliding which he called "slope
soaring."

element kite in kite array (like a pixel of an image display) ..
A genesis of the term may be seen from the suggestion of
Rod Read on Sept. 27, 2011: "A
kite array with piezoelectric multilayer bending actuators. The array is going
to be 3d. Each kite will have one or more piezoelectric multilayer bending
actuators.
The top layer of the array will be set out and addressed as per VGA (yes video)
standards. e.g., a printed cut set of micro kite ribbons glued side by
side
with..." And then
Dec. 9, 2011: "I'd
suggested before addressing of kites in an array can be done with VGA methods."
That was followed by Dave Santos' comment, "Your
VGA idea is good, it is even possible to make a giant color TV screen in the
sky out of kite pixels; would that not be cool?"

Discuss
-
an identical addressable kite unit, one of many strung along rope loadpaths in
matrix-arrays, in order to make up a "metakite"
-
Sensors in a kixel may report the conditions of that unit.
-
Controllers may face the needs of a particular kixel.
-
Maintenance crews may focus on a particular kixel.

Right On, Roddy, we are on to a major mega-AWES concept here, and the VGA
analogy is apt.
We can even use Edo-style kite bridling to allow
each kixel's AoA to be fine-tuned in flight. What you can't see in all the Edo
pictures is the cool little fairlead address-map rigger's plate, at the common
bridle point, that allows every part of the Edo to be individually
tension-tuned without futzing for the right line. Of course, presetting our
Kixels in a tied-off mode is still programming.

KiteBoat, kiteboat
Boats moved by the wind energy
capture from a kite system use either the tug methods or the conversion to
electricity which electricity is then used to drive a hydro propeller. In both
methods, the systems are energy kite systems and belong to AWE. The tug
method occurs in microAWE, miniatureAWE, toyAWE, sportAWE, residentialAWE,
commercialAWE, and utilityAWE. When the tug method reduces the use of coal and
oil, then such notes are especially welcome
KiteTug™
and
KiteSailTM
and
KiteShipTM
are some
of the main players in commercialAWE that use wind energy through kite systems
using the tug method for boats and ships to save on use of oil-based fuels.
Differently is the
KitVes
project
that feels a freedom to convert wind energy captured through an AWECS that
converts wind energy to electricity that is then used for on-vessel works
including driving the boat or ship in directions it wishes to go.
Benjamin Franklin's legendary story of a
pond tug
of his body by kite may be an example of either sportAWE, toyAWE,
or recreationalAWE. Miniature boats using miniature kites or kytoons example
miniatureAWE tug method. Envisioned is a utilityAWE kiteboat where the
kites or kytoons tug a barge that is saturated with hydro turbines that make
electricity (perhaps to be used to make and compress hydrogen from water; the
hydrogen would be transported ultimately to work sites).
Anne Quéméré is exploring a
second type kiteboat; her
OceanKite effort to cross the Pacific Ocean
was aborted; now her boat designer is going forward on another kiteboat.
See her new blog on her planned
trip from Peru to Tahiti.

carrying kite gear to sites for performance, research, or testing.
- Type 4: An aerial
cableway that is kite supported may have cars on aerial lines that travel short
or long distances.
- Type 5: Within a kite's
wing, there may be tiny or larger cars on line or guide rails that move under
passive or active controls to fulfill various functions within the kite's wing.

Ugo
Bardi and Massimo Ippolito founded the trademark of "KiteGen".
Later a distinct school project named its project with Kitegen, but without
reduction of the priority of the trademarking. The continued use of the
innovative trademark does not get removed by another's use for a school project
at a different university. See:
M2773
Further point for history:
"If you allow me a little note on this point, I remember that
I had proposed the name "kitegen" to Massimo Ippolito
a few years ago. Before, he had called his idea "KiWiGen" ("KIte WInd
GENerator) - which sounded like something made in New Zealand or sold in the
vegetable market. Ippolito agreed with me and from then on we started using
that name. At that time, Mr. Fagiano and his coworkers at the Politecnico di
Torino probably didn't even know that such a thing as AWE existed.
Unfortunately, neither myself nor Ippolito placed a copyright on the name, so I
see now that people are fighting for the rights of the name. Which is all
right, after all, what is in a name? That which we call kitegen, by any other
name, would fly so nice. Also, a kitegen is a kitegen is a kitegen.....

- A kite has a wing set, a
tether set, and a resistive subassembly (set of elements). The tether set
tenses as a result of the wing set's kiting action couple through the tether
set of kite lines to the resistive set that may be anything that results in the
tension in the kite lines; thus the resistive set might be the rotating earth,
a vehicle, a falling mass, a payload of a gliding kite (paraglider), a human
hand, a kiteboarder's board and body, a horse, a winch, a rock, a wing
deflecting to give resistance, etc.

kite messenger
A long and deep culture within kiting involves using kite tethers as a means
for transporting messages, objects, parachute models, gliders, entertainment
bags, etc. Advanced AWECS consider having "messenger" being such as gondolas to
transport people, products, tools, water, chemicals, skydivers, hang gliders,
batteries, etc.. The "messenger" might be sailed up and down the tether.
The "messenger" might be a powered climber that is powered by electricity made
by the very AWECS on which the messenger travels. Other schemes are being
examined. See also

Draft List of Advanced Kite Physics Principles by Dave
Santos, November 19, 2012. "Preface-
This is a short list of specialized physics concepts unique or new in
application to AWES and kites. Many
scientific principles apply that are too obvious and general to include (like
F=ma). Some
kite facts are so basic and well established they might be considered Laws,
many others range into secondary axioms and theorems, and some are bold curious
conjectures that may or may not matter greatly in a future perfected
engineering science. The evidence for these Principles is diverse and includes
expert empirical knowledge,
gedanken,
experimental data, and calculated predictions."

may be designed to aid in the launching of a kite train. The train's wings are
held in an organized manner in the quiver. Letting out (out of the quiver) the
wings of the train can be aided by the quiver's hold.
- Quivers may hold one or
more kite systems or just the wings of the kite systems in order to give choice

kite running,
kite runner, kite runners Kite running and
running kite systems has its many hazards.
-
Be ready for several meanings of "kite running, kite runner, etc."
-
In kite fighting and other specialty kiting activities, one who runs to get
kite wings that have fallen from the sky for some reason, may be said to be
doing "kite running" and during such office being a "kite runner."
-
The long standing option to run holding a kite string with its kite wing(s) is
a form of "kite running." This is done with more than one reason.
-
One may run with a kite for exercise of the running with the resistance of the
wing; this is frequently done in track & field training sessions, often with
the kite wing set being of very low lift but with high drag, often a parachute.
-
Others have run kites while the wings or tethers carry advertisements.
-
Others run the string set and wing set of the kite system in order to get the
wings into faster upper wind; this is a form of kite launching. Or in
calm, kite run just to get the system flying at all.
-
Others kite run while meditating how their body is the anchor system of an
aircraft system, which is true, and how they are flying; the running adds a
heighten sense of being the motor of the flying that is occurring. Some do this
as part of "wing running" in preparation for hang gliding, ground skimming,
paragliding.
-
Another form of kite running regards assisting in launching large kite wings or
large kite trains; the kite system launch sometimes need people to run sections
of the system or run to inspect parts.

identified an early instance residing in the year 1908 in the territory of
Breslau of the free-flight pilot-control mechanical construct of the
cable-stayed triangle control frame (TCF) with hang glider pilot tethered
behind the TCF; in each decade since the TCF was used in aviation in various
ways; the TCF secured a sector of hang gliders as true free-flight kite systems
with the pilot being the moving mooring base of the kite's tether during the
gliding and soaring operations.

- Other themes are observable. Commemoration is one,
exemplified by a l979 Mongolian stamp honoring the
Russian A.F. Mozhaiski, a flight pioneer. Skinner’s
example is found on a first day of issue cover which
has as a wonderful cachet, or image, on the left side
of the envelope, a picture of a man-carrying glider
being towed by horse and wagon. “If towed,” Skinner notes, “the glider becomes
a kite.”

- kite soaring
[[There are reasons to take caution:
Paragliding Disaster Events - Part II ]]
- kite soaring
Manned use of slope updraft in a free-flight
gliding-kite system; the massive anchor is falling; the reactive wing has its
lift and drag; the tether couples the system's falling anchor with the wing, so
that the kiting principle results. The same kiting system mechanically provides
resultant paragliding and kite hang gliding with a window of gliding and
soaring opportunity. When the falling anchor is advanced to be an
effective wing itself, then another free-flight opportunity opens: that of
playing the lower wing against the upper wing while the two separate wings are
in significantly different winds in order to effect free-flight travel. Then
when the two-wing system of long tether is further configured, onboard RATS may
mine some of the dynamic energy of the apparent wind over each wing ---and save
the energy for gifting others or in-system electric needs. These systems
may be expanded by treating upper wing as a set of wing elements and the same
for the lower wing into a wing set of many elements; and the tether may go into
being a tether set of many elements. Small or very huge systems of free-flight
kite soaring systems are possible; and the AWES from RATS in such free-flight
realm is possible.

mean kite-wing-set state when writing "kite state" in discussions. As a kite is
a combine of wing set, tether set, and resistive or reaction set, then kite
state would include the state of the wing set, tether set, and anchor or
reaction set. Look to context to note if the author is with a focus just on the
wing set of a kite (kite system).]]

Kite Tales
National Kite-fliers Quarterly Review was the given name for what later
became Kite Tales in the second issue. Then the succession name was Kite
Lines when Valerie Govig took over the editorship. The later
Kite Lines V1N1, Bob Ingraham gives some history. Alternate spelling
found in the literature: National Kitefliers Quarterly Review; which spelling
was actually used by Robert Ingraham? Are all the issues available for
Ingraham's publications? [ ]

kite turbine
Notice that the conventional simple kite is a turbine itself as the wing
rotates around its mooring, even if the rotation might be left-right or random
pathing about the points of an imaginary sphere. A kite system may
advance in being a useful turbine in many ways. Note the discussion
between Dave Culp and Joe Faust about a kite being a turbine.

- Next is the moving of recreating persons from one place to another
- Next is the pulling of boats and ships using kite systems.
- Then coming are kite-supported and kite-driven aerial cableways to
transport goods and people.
- FF-AWE is the transportation of goods and people in a free-flight kite
system of one soaring wing or multiple wings or in dynamic soaring
tether-with-both-ends-winged systems using wind strata differences for hapa-like
soaring
- Artificial wind with ground tugging vehicles using kite lift for
transporting odd-shaped or large shaped objects is an optional.
- AeroKite is concept toward FF-AWE and flying by kite system
using two kite sets, one in one wind and the other set in a wind with
differences from the wind of the other kite set.

credits
Kitricity is fed into grids or storage systems; electricity consumers may buy
electricity made by kites. Split electric bills might show: kWh from kitricity,
kWh from coal or oil, kWh from hydro, kWh from conventional wind, etc.
One might buy future kitricity. Kitricity credits might be
brokered between energy brokers far from where the kitricity is produced; in
such manner distribution need not be physical.

Further point for history:
"If you allow me a little note on this point, I remember that I had
proposed the name "kitegen" to Massimo Ippolito a few years ago. Before, he had
called his idea "Kiwigen" ("KIte WInd GENerator) - which sounded like something
made in New Zealand or sold in the vegetable market. Ippolito agreed with me
and from then on we started using that name. At that time, Mr Fagiano and his
coworkers at the Politecnico di Torino probably didn't even know that such a
thing as AWE existed.
Unfortunately, neither myself nor Ippolito placed a copyright on the name, so I
see now that people are fighting for the rights of the name. Which is all
right, after all, what is in a name? That which we call kitegen, by any other
name, would fly so nice. Also, a kitegen is a kitegen is a kitegen.....

"DISTINCTION:
"The name “KiteGen” has been coined at Politecnico di Torino, well before the
foundation of KiteGen Research s.r.l., and it has been the name of the
first research project, funded by Regione Piemonte and coordinated by
Politecnico di Torino, aimed to investigate high-altitude wind energy using
power kites."
