To
summarize what KiteGen has been in AWE, the venture has played a vital
role, particularly in the early mobilization of a working prototype in
2004. That was the first AWE springtime when Italy and Northern EU AWE
were briefly one happy community. A similar moment passed in the US,
2006-9. Unfortunately,
KiteGen lost its early social networks, first breaking with WoW, a
wonderful group of small investors, who barely recouped their
investment as KiteGen continued to seek further millions. Some academic
collaboration continued, with little KiteGen interest in major
conferences or peer-reviewed science. A lack of common cause and values
caused parties to drift apart. Instead
of bringing the AWE world together to participate in a collective
quest, KiteGen chose to build the largest patent portfolio in AWE (no
claim yet found essential). Given such crass monopolistic intent, SABIC
became KiteGen's natural source of capital. All other Italian players
meanwhile starved for R&D capital, as KiteGen spent heavily on
secondary luxuries (custom composite prototype groundgen hardware,
exotic super-capacitor bank, mostly unflyable super-wings, etc). Pray
with MarcoG and WoW that Italy's true AWE rises like a phoenix from the
present ashes. One path would be a restructuring of KiteGen with new
management, to recover what value might be left. SABIC might even pony
up a new round of funding if KiteGen reorganizes radically to embrace a
wider community. The research imperative would be for KiteGen to
directly test its existing AWES capability against other contending
architectures, on a levelized experimental playing field. Otherwise
KiteGen seems spent, having lost momentum compared to new major players
surging ahead. AWE R&D poses a global community leadership challenge that no one since Wubbo has been able to meet. Here
we consider a key claim in AWE R&D; who actually came up with the
problematic "Reeling AWES", which also figures centrally in Roland's
2007 patent, but Massimo is claiming several years priority. Massimo's
status as "legendary" in AWE, as Rod puts it, includes not just
supposed inventive leaps to validate, but also his melodramatic
relations to WoW and other investors, and his Doug-like negativity
toward general academic AWE research. For a kite simulation to have " invented from scratch and by itself the jibe and the sinusoidal
envelope" is
akin to any basic algorithm showing an expected pattern, not an
exhaustive AI study of AWES possibility. A faithful sailboat simulation
will also spontaineously show "the jibe and the sinusoidal
envelope".
The Mahalanobis Inference Engine is a toy here. Missing from this "AI"
case is a proper AWE knowledgebase to reason over, if an optimal design
is wanted. in fun, take a closer look at the KiteGen simulation that reveals the birth of a self-aware AI, if not its own self (see attached graphic).

Massimo Your technological achievements are legendary. I hope you don't mind me asking if you consider my main work as a direct derivation or infringement of your protected IP? examples of my work... https://youtu.be/UpIECYxP4xc and https://youtu.be/9G-EyXNZo1M and https://youtu.be/rJbYeeb6g6M and https://youtu..be/S8Kw8u5agXA As
you'll see I also use rotary motion (like a carousel) however my
axis is tilted and hollow, and my kites utilise the emergent stability
of networking, you'll also see there was no need for control systems on
the small prototypes. Thanks. Rod Read http://windswept-and-interesting.co.uk Windswept and Interesting Limited 15a Aiginis Isle of Lewis UK HS2 0PB 07899057227 01851 870878 On Tue, 5 Mar 2019 at 10:23, Massimo Ippolito m.ippolito@kitegen.com [AirborneWindEnergy] <AirborneWindEnergy@yahoogroups.com
