Subject: Re: AWEC 2019 Call-for-Abstracts
To inform anyone new to AWE, AWE Conferences began in the US and were hoped to rotate with EU and other places. Instead, an inside group led by Joby-Makani created a secretive California corporation, AWEC, that hijacked open process. Protest occurred. AWEC quietly passed to EU via RichardR of Ampyx. Conferences then became dominated by Moritz and Roland, and never returned to US. 

AWEC Corp dissolved with no public explanation, but the name stuck to the hijacked conferences. Ventures like kPower stopped attending. An implicit PR bias of EU AWE merit superiority took hold, with Makani as token Yank, but with feet-of-clay. Faced with greater burdens of travel and second class treatment, most non-EU players stay home. Conference demo tracks are also suppressed or exclusive, so no dark horse can steal the AWEC PR show from "leaders" with marginal platforms.

This is the known political history of AWE conferences, events that should have remained fully open science at locations worldwide. Expect a big bump upward when the decade of EU conference monopoly eases.

Subject: Assessment of Reeling Prototypes by Line Condition
Fast reeling under variable tension is very demanding mechanically. From KiteGen to TUDelft to KPS, rapid destruction of kitelines is evident in photos. In some cases the fairlead design was clearly inadequate, as KPS's video revealed. I personally saw KiteGen's frazzled lines in 2011, after not many hours of testing. TUDelfts KitePower venture photos show uneven spooling despite a complex fairlead. It seems that tensile-phonon kite chaos gets past the fairlead stage to mess up level-wind spooling. A spool with variable high-tensions stored on the line will tend to cause small slips as tension is released.

Better load isolation of the spool is wanted. kPower long advocates heavy wearing sections of cable, belting, or chain; esp. for short-stoke pumping cycles. Our best dynamic reeling similarity cases are scientific deep-sea reeling from wave tossed ships. The marine-tech field is well ahead of AWES design in line-handling. kPower long advocates heavy wearing sections of cable, belting, or chain; esp. for short-stoke pumping cycles. There is also the severe challenge to reliably handle reel-in phase of a hot kiteplane like the AP3 at

Tallak,

The fact about AWEC2019 that all can agree is that the Chair and Committee do not follow Open Peer Review principles.

Complaints of AWE Conference  insider control date to 2009-10, after HAWPcon09, when AWEC was incorporated in private by a small group led by Joby-Makani. JoebenB invited KiteLab to join, but KiteLab pulled out the moment it was learned AWEC was secretly lobbying the US Congress to privatize Airspace for AWE, in violation of "Freedom of the Seas" legal tradition. KiteLab was intent on the FAA policy now in place.

Ampyx was the main EU  AWEC participant and RichardR and GuidoL became AWEC CEOs. They still don't answer questions about what happened to AWEC. Roland and Moritz should know, since they took over the AWEC brand. They don't say either what happened to AWEC, the US 501 c4 corporation.

Help us find out more about this hidden AWEC history,

Pierre is right, let's prove the facts. Let's also uncover the hidden story.

The Airborne Wind Energy Consortium's trail of evidence is well documented in Forum archives and by many other sources on the Net. Pierre at least knows that AWEC existed, if not the details.

It's up to the EU insiders to explain what happened to AWEC and how it's grip on AWE conferences was passed to Roland and Moritz.

Any number multiplied by zero is still zero.  No matter how many people with no solution gather together to commiserate, they still have no solution.  Why do they gather together at an AWE conference?  So someone will listen to them.  So they can feel like they are "doing something".  Preaching to the choir.  Otherwise they would be at a power conference, a wind energy conference, a home show, a generator show, industrial infrastructure shows, etc.  But they have no solution to present to anyone who would use it.  So they burn lots of jet fuel to make themselves feel better about all the time and money being spent on zero solutions.  If anyone hd a real solution why would they tell the competition all about it rather than just building it and selling it?  Ten conferences have resulted in how many working solutions?  The battle is to harness mother nature.  Not to harness other "teams" of perpetual wind newbies unable to get anything workable working.  And this forum, largely serving as a brainstorming platform for one person, should tell you that an unlimited number of storms in a brain may also lead nowhere.  Zero times anything is still zero.  Amazing to me that people just continue making the same mistakes over and over, focusing on irrelevant trivia.  Trying to cover up having no solutions by turning the space into a blame-game gossip-fest.  Why does anyone holding "a conference" matter to someone who has a solution?  How does someone's "conference" slow anyone else down?  It doesn't.  It's all about excuses.  Not to mention mass hypnosis.  Rather than simply admit that he is having no success coming up with anything promising, he seeks to divert attention from his own zero promising results, to try to focus attention on other people being "bad".  That way we can discuss something besides the reality of having no workable solutions.  This entire situation is quite a comedy.  Really hard to believe people can keep going on about this.  Why not just pretend there are no conferences and build something that works?  If you have any workable ideas at all, build even a flawed version that at least works sufficiently to show it's worth the effort to build a better one.  If you have no workable ideas, why are you still pretending you do?

Subject: Re: Canada's Diesel-dependent Communities as AWES Early-adopters
What I have always laughably called "The Professor Crackpot Syndrome" seems healthy.  The mythical "good professor" (not necessarily a real professor, it's just a silly name) seems to have a very few, endlessly repeated outlets for the pressure in his vast brain.  One is to search the world for places so desperate for power, especially if they have some politically-correct-sounding "special need",  that he can "use" them as one more excuse for never developing a truly workable solution, but instead to extend the working time for his ongoing narrative of a solution, without a physical manifestation of a solution.  s you read below, "continuing a past theme"  Yup, that's what I'm referring to.  It is truly humorous how they just keep repeating the same wind energy mistakes over and over, as though they have no memory.  Let's take Altaeros as an example.  They had a device that was not sufficiently developed to be run long-term in a decent wind resource, but nonetheless decided to issue press-releases that went viral about a plan to power a remote village in Alaska, because it cost so much to get diesel fuel to such a remote site.  But apparently they did not consider that that very remoteness would make it just as difficult and expensive to get their device to the remote location.  Without a fully-developed device to even bring, they are relegated to testing a prototype in a location so remote that they find themselves "just giving up", (but shhh, they don't tell anyone" so self-described "domain expert" people like dave Santos can still go on for years in denial that the projects simply fizzled.) Hmmmm.  Smart?  MIT?  Living in a complete fantasy world - that is the fate of AWE today.  The "remote location" story is part of the never-ending crackpot syndrome in wind energy, and now with AWE, the "shell game" of deception, where they seek to create a story with enough peripheral details that investors will get lost in those details instead of thinking clearly.  (Direct the audiences attention away from the real action.)  The "remote location" meme is unconsciously designed to bypass the simple question of "is your wind energy "solution" better than simply putting up a regular wind turbine on a tower?"  They never seem to ask THAT question.  They just talk about the high cost of diesel a thousand miles from civilization.  But they don't show that their wind energy solution is cheaper than a regular turbine, which is the real question.   Or that it even works sufficiently to be useful, actually.  The professor crackpot syndrome seems like a water-balloon that bulges out in a few predictable places when you squeeze it.  These bulges seem to occur at "remote communities", "disaster relief", "containerized pop-up solutions", "downwind-traveling working surfaces", cloth working surfaces", "drag devices" and, since AWE and a certain person found the internet, "peripheral distractions" such as trying to turn an engineering challenge into an online gossip-fest blame-game, including why it is "bad" for some people to hold "a conference", listing arcane branches of science with no way to apply them, as though they are leading to solutions, but showing no way to utilize them, just acting like the person listing endless branches of science is thereby some sort of genius, just with no output in Watts.  Some things never change, but they have definitely gotten worse.  The Professor Crackpot Syndrome has found fertile ground in AWE, turning the nascent art into a cartoon of itself.  The inmates running the asylum.  But the asylum is an illusion,  Anyone can develop an AWE system.  It's between you and the wind, not you and the crackpots.

Pierre's best evidence of a hidden story behind AWEC conferences is on the AWEC2019 website. All eight conferences since 2009 are cited for history. 

JoeF and I can attest that the first conference was openly planned with CristinaA and the whole AWE community. That summer, "stealth venture" (Makani's own term) insiders incorporated AWEC and made AWEC2010 planning a secretive process, with 800USD admission keeping small players away, while insiders handed out passes. Attending US gov reps only got PR favoring Google (Felker and Zoi jumped from gov to Makani paychecks).

When Wubbo stepped in to bring the 2011 conference to KULeuven, that was the last openly planned conference. Wubbo's death left no leadership for open AWE ethos in the elite EU ventures circle who saw conferences as corporate PR vehicles,  driving vanity investment over engineering science. Restriction of open demo activity therefore became established.

Who and how are AWE conferences kept in the EU by the same tiny inside clique? Why the specific insiders' domination of the events? That is a major hidden story in AWE.

Yup there was a simple working solution operating without a human attendant, outside the window, while crackpots ignored it and instead talked of silly unworkable fantasies and "Jesus" solving AWE.  I brought the simple solution that was built at the request of Popular Science Magazine the year before, in a couple of weeks, by one person, using no computers, no interns, no selfies, no funding.  I thought it was important to show how easy AWE is, if there was going to be a first-ever conference within driving distance, considering I had long been the leading mind in the field, and the supporting rig was mobile, which is unusual in itself.  I quickly found out the conference was not useful and found little on the way of fertile ground there.  It felt like a waste of time to some extent, although I don't regret attending.  I had hoped to engage fertile minds.  I left thinking I had inadvertently passed through a mental hospital environment, full of crackpots who would never achieve anything useful.  Zero times any number is still zero.

Doug, we both find the Net worthwhile. You would not be commenting on my posts if you thought you had something better to do. You have served well to promote careful elaboration of ideas you found objectionable. Of course most of us love our conferences and progress, despite the difficulties, while you despair. I really am amazed at how much we have learned on this Forum. If you have learned nothing of value, you should have gone somewhere better.

Here's hoping AWEC2019 is a great conference. Questions about AWE open-process and insider history will be answered in due time. The likeliest explanation for inside AWEC politics is that the insiders thought they had merit advantages that justified control over the global community. Now they must show true merit results, as the years have passed. This is not real conspiracy theory, just business-industrial psychology.

Subject: Reeling Tether-Wear Scaling-Factor
Bad news for scaling up Reeling AWES tech, that larger tethers inherently concentrate more working stress at the tether surface, given constant material-strength (that does not scale). Reeling methods particularly put enormous demands on kite line that are here predicted to worsen with scale. An ad absurdum proof is to imagine a kite line so thick its damaged just by dragging around.

We have noted this line scaling factor before, without specifically relating it to Reeling scaling prospects. Testing is needed to determine at just what power, lifecycle, and line size this scaling limit becomes dominant. On the other hand, larger lines have less aerodrag-per-mass, as cross-section area increases faster than circumference. Just don't abuse kite line by excessive mechanical wear, and it will last a very long time.

I think my original comprehensive scientific analysis of several years ago was:
"Kite-reeling - hmmmph!" 
(or UHMPEF would also work...)

Not to mention the scientific observation, long-documented and often carved into wood, in the strangest places:
"How could a million flies be wrong"?

Doug,

Its not helpful to piss on methods with no specific insight.

Scaling Laws most critically limit the ST, so "hmmmph" should more apply. Despite careful review of specific weaknesses Reeling is shown more practical than ST shafting to tap wind at 500m.

Scaling Factor analysis stands as the better engineering practice here,

Anyone who makes the effort gets great returns from conference participation. Engineering science is normally a very social process. Let Doug's anti-conference preference be his personal path. Good Luck to both paths.

Subject: Louisiana dreams of AWE

From Louisiana Weekly yesterday-

"“Louisiana and Mississippi lag behind Texas because it’s much windier in West Texas,” Brian Snyder, LSU assistant professor of environmental sciences, said last week. “Louisiana may have wind power in the future, but it might not be from the sorts of wind systems used now.” Interest in airborne, wind-energy systems is growing. “They resemble giant kites, flying 300-plus meters in the air, where winds are steadier,” he said. “One day, Louisiana might use these kinds of designs. But that’s a long way off.”

For offshore wind power, the cost is a concern. “Installing wind turbines offshore is very expensive, and it has only made sense in a few places in the world, mostly in Europe, where wind speeds are high and electricity is expensive,” Snyder said. “In Louisiana, offshore wind speeds are modest at best, and we have much cheaper electricity.”...

“Until a technological breakthrough occurs, we won’t have wind power in the Gulf,” Snyder said. “We can dream that one-day wind turbines will be airborne over Lake Pontchartrain."

An unexpected delight of the maiden test is how the kite can fly away crosswind on demand, and then return back to hand for a kiss.

Here's Rod's old video simulation of the tested concept, which somehow managed to lose the third-line since-

Subject: Air Density Variance and AWE
Its been noted here and there on this Forum that air density varies significantly by altitude, temperature, and pressure systems. For example, Makani's M600 testing probably avoided the hottest season in the Mojave Desert, and its planned Norwegian offshore testing is seen desirable not just due to close thermal operating margins of E-VTOL motor-gens, but because "typical" cold air is about 20% more dense than hot air, so flight is easier. 

AWE analytical research has tended to rely on higher wind velocity with altitude, with lower pressure somewhat cancelled by lower temperature. Conventional aviation carefully factors temperature and altitude in take-off calculations. Low air density conditions are comparable to tether drag as an AWE a performance-limiting factor, but far less discussed. Once again, highest power-to-mass aircraft designs cope best with varied negative performance factors.

Here is a paper reviewing Air Density as a Wind Power factor-

Subject: Re: Air Density Variance and AWE
The kite should fly similarily, changing the air density should only change the lift of the kite linearily. All lift, drag and tether drag which are the most important forces for AWE (unless of course gravity plays a significant part) depend on air density to the power of one.

So a first order approximation could be x% decrease in air density gives you x% decrease in power output.

I believe the first factor to make power deviate from this approximation is probably gravity, because gravity will directly influence the speed of a kite flying upwards and thus affect a term that is to the power of two. So when taking gravity into account the decrease might be more than x% for the same situation.

Subject: Re: Air Density Variance and AWE
The kite flyer definitely senses complex non-linear differences between hot and cold air. Dave Culp hated Texas hot air compared to the cool smoother air of the West Coast, but I find Texas air better training by more difficult conditions.

Reynolds Numbers vary, the denser air as a higher Re regime. Kite fabric itself varies in tension and stiffness with temperature. Hot air tends to correlate with greater convection, "thermals" for example, from uneven insolation of the surface.

Kites often react non-linearly to conditions. Formal chaos is "sensitive to initial conditions". The lesson of aviation is that a constant flying mass in hot air makes for more marginal flight, and that greater danger of crashing is as non-linear as it gets.

Those who intend active autonomous kite flight control are obviously not happy with introducing ever more critical variables, but surely air density counts about as much in kites as in conventional aviation, and the M600 is a relevant case.

How about "multiplying like flies"?
How can a million flies be wrong?

Doug, 

Good luck scaling up your ST to 500m2 altitude, despite my "insight" that its not practical. My down-select is the power-kite, which does scale up and is not as "crackpot".

I think my original comprehensive scientific analysis of several years ago was:
"Kite-reeling - hmmmph!" 
(or UHMPEF would also work...)

Not to mention the scientific observation, long-documented and often carved into wood, in the strangest places:
"How could a million flies be wrong"?
:)

The Porto team's grand heritage descends from Henry the Navigator and Magellan. Lets hope the best of them.

Attention READER.   
The construction of speaker in former post may be confusing. 
The text of the body were words of DougS, not DaveS. 

Doug, please be very careful to distinguish who the speaker is. 
Consider erasing your post and construct a new post where the speaker (writer) is very clear to the READER. 
Thank you.   

Doug, you have super spent negative attacking over DaveS.  Your globs of negative attack is off the topics where you place such text.   

Consider studying all that DaveS has done and is doing in AWE.    Repeating the false negative "nothing" smear is very against against what this forum is about.  You wrote your opinion; please do not spam repeat such whiling spoiling the flow of technical topics.     His positive works are on record.  Discounting the record while saying untrue things is super poor form.   

The ST was simply not the only significant demonstrated system at HAWP '09.   Others and DaveS demonstrated AWE in various ways.

Dear daveS:
Using one of your favorite terms, "downselect" won't save you.
You have nothing to offer.  Why keep pretending?  Why keep posting?  Why?
Seems like it turns out you don't even WANT to develop anything.
What is your point, after 12 years of nothing?
"downselect"... "flyoff"... What the heck are you even talking about?
What are you averaging, like two posts per hour?  Day after day after day?
How many posts by now, 10,000?  More?  With nothing to show for any of it except so many statements and predictions that turned out to be wrong?  Is anyone still even listening?
Give it up, dude.
