residentialAWE version: There is in the literature the pumping by kites of air into anchored bladders deep in water. Then release the air to drive turbines to make electricity when needed. Fence of soil bags hung with line through pulley; lines to generators. AWECS crank gears to raise soil bags. Dropping bags generate electricity to light the fence, electrify fence, power village, etc. Large air bladder beneath large soil hold. Crank via AWECS air into air bladder to raise the soil. The pressurized air could be released to inflate things, drive working tools, generate electricity, etc. |

Long fence orthogonal to wind is proposed. Fence is an
energy-generating fence. Beads of contra-rotating wings on cables form a
fence, perhaps sloping fence. Then the long fence is with a second use:
slope soar to point A to point B, perhaps commuting to town or work. In water:
Long floating snake provides wave energy, solar energy conversion surface,
and slope lift for long travels by free-flight hang glider and
paraglider manned or unmanned kites or soaring load-carrying kites. Some such
energy fences will go hundreds of miles.
A cousin proposal is a long cable. Loaded man or unmanned kites will tether slidingly along the cable while kite-sailing long distances to save on use of coal and oil. Fly long distances oblique to the winds. Loads could be people, ore, water, animals, goods, etc. |

 Filed on October 1, 1926. Georges J. M. Darrieus, French engineer, instructed more than his famous "eggbeater" VAWT. Now we are more able to get his conceptions lifted in AWECS realms. Multi-blades.

Reaping the wind : how mechanical wizards, visionaries, and profiteers helped shape our energy future
The book does not have the word "tether" in it. The word "kite" was used once only as an aside to measure winds on its page 84. |
||||||
| 19Nov2009 |
VAWT or vertical axis really can be more properly called
"rotating axis normal to stream." For example, the VAWT of Darrieus
eggbeater could be held between two terrain points in a manner that the
rotating axis is even or oblique to the horizon, so long as the long rotating
axis is blunt to the stream. The common "vertical" is unnecessary;
such arrived by simply choosing the one angle for the axis to be zenithal
relative to earth center.

Cabled tethered travel using serial small blimps. The
travel cable is kept aloft by small kytooned blimps that recharge aloft via
splitting atmospheric water to hydrogen and released oxygen. Cable rider sails
along the cable, crawls along the cable, slides down the downside of gravity
catenary segments, PV-driven cable crawling. Wayne German of
Tethered
Aviation is forwarding a local system. Yet KiteLab of Ilwaco, WA and I
have been discussing even world-around small-blimp use for tethered
cable-travel ...from node to node. A second use of small blimp in this
sector could bring maintenance workers to parts of the cable, carry a passenger
to the cableway, offload a person or goods from the cableway.
SkyCableWay. 2. Small blimp AWECS. There are many ways small blimps could play in the wind-energy conversion world. Airborne wind-energy conversion systems (AWECS) may be used as the primary actor or as a lifter for secondary actor where action wings lifted remain primary actors to generate electricity either aloft or at groundstation. Ever-up small blimps kytoon shaped that could recharge aloft from splitting airwater could be in an AWECS generating electricity night and day all year. Second uses of the same system: surveillance, real-time vision, antenna, observation deck, vacation hut, launch pad for hang gliders, and more.

Q1. Are there any AWECS
installed and working right now in November 2009 to save on coal and oil?
A1. Emphatically Yes. The many ocean-going boats and ships that are using kite tug are using AWECS systems. The kites are converting the kinetic energy of the wind into a pull on ropes that in turn pull the boats and ships through the water; this saves on coal and oil. Dave Culp noted at conference recently and in group AWE that the world could just about meet its 20% wind energy portion of energy consumption without using a single electric generator in AWECS, but by equipping appropriately the boats of the world with kite tug systems. Q2. Are there any electricity-producing AWECS installed and working daily ordinarily in the world. A2. Maybe. News is not in on any at this desk. We are aiming to get some such situation going. Test durations have occurred for some hours; please report your durations and gains with defined systems. Describe your AWECS; tell aloft duration and amount of electricity produced; describe what happened to the electricity generated. |
||||||
| 22Nov2009 |
What
will we report for our electricity-producing AWECS flight sessions? Year, month, start day, place, system description, duration, power, load, altitude description, generator up or ground or both, total mass of system, description of how and why flight ended. Make note of incidents, breakages, learnings.

Regularly I battle DS as I support AWECS that are aerostat based; he prefers
non-aerostat progress in AWE. My pet reach has to do with getting
everUpAWECS with aloft self-recharge of hydrogen-based aerostat. The ambient
atmospheric water would be collected and split to recharge bladders with
hydrogen; the energy for the splitting would come from wind or PV or
both.
Also, one aerostat pet is the simple non-kytoon spherical LTA aerostat that
holds a lofty tethered kite in train along with a below-aerostat line Santos
Sputnik wing that will work large jiggles in the main tether; at wind the
upper kite lifts to sustain while lower Sputnik wing works; the simple aerostat
keeps all up in case of full calm.

Jet-stream sailors are getting ready for adventures
across continents. They will be using two unpowered tether-coupled kites; the
kites will appear in various forms; one may look like a sailplane; the other
might look like a paraglider; but each designer will modify how his or her
kites appear to the general public. Some will have a human in both kites. Some
will have a human in just one of the two coupled kites; prototypes might be
unmanned radio-controlled while the skill of maintaining the dynamic soaring
machine aloft.
The entire machine is a free-flight wind-energy conversion systems or dynamic-soaring bi-kite aircraft operating in a fresh new way. The system is technically a bi-turbine with each kite using the same kite part in the coupling tether; the rotary engines couple rotate at least about the center of rotation at the opposing mooring point of the opposite kite. The dynamics are not really new, but the practical achievement of manned flight in these systems will be new. A toy kite dragging a resistive toy boat across a lake holds a demonstration of the physics involved. Names connected with these efforts: Richard Miller (Without Visible Means of Support, published in 1967), Joe Faust , Wayne German, Dave Culp, Dave Santos, Dale C. Kramer, Taras Kiceniuk, Gary Osoba, and others. This activity is part of tethered aviation and AWECS; one term for the category of activity is FF-AWE or FF-AWECS with "FF" standing for "free-flight." These systems may be scaled from tiny to huge. And these systems may be designed not just to travel across continents but to so operate that some mining of energy can occur during flight session which mined mechanical energy could be converted to laser or microwave and beamed to other aircraft or to receiving ground stations. Dale has been detailing many paths for his experiments and eventual trials. Hundreds of days of winds have been examined that show world record free-flight distance records could be set using the FF-AWE method. Onboard he has envisioned auxiliary AWECS for cooling and charging onboard batteries for use in sustained powered flight, if needed. He wondered why he was at the AWECS HAWP 3009 conference; it was my pleasure to conect dots between soaring editor Richard Miller, my own advance on the FF-AWECS in publishing, Wayne German's pointed talk advance of same, and his patent; his doing are right on target for AWECS, as the system has potential for gaining more-than sustainable energies, energy that could be converted and sent to other aircraft or groundstations via laser or microwave power beaming. At conference he admitted that the Malay kite in the patent application drawing was for fun, as other kite forms will be used; he opined that kiting two of his Lazair ultralight might do the job.

SwissKitePower,
Your system is an instance of a rotary engine in its first stage: The kite machine has its essential parts: the airfoil, the bridle, control system, tether, mooring point. Those parts of that machine have a turning radially about the mooring point; sometimes the turning with small rotation, sometimes the rotation is greater. Since the system changes the kinetic energy of the stream to mechanical energy (tension, pulls, heat in tether, heat in mooring point parts, sound, motion of the masses involved, etc. , then the rotary engine that it is ...is a turbine, indeed, a tethered turbine. And we see that your are using that airborne wind energy conversion system in high altitude wind power efforts with the aim to use the mined mechanical energy to further uses like setting up a ground generator to generate electricity for grid or for charging storage devices like batteries or water heads, etc. Wow, this is so much more clean than coal or oil. May your efforts come to full development. An AWEsome direction to take. Others of like care are gathering at AirborneWindEnergy and HighAltitudeWindPower Best of lift to you and yours, JoeF |
