| July 4, 2020, post by Dave Santos Having learned to apply topology to kites, lets classify
multi-line power kites essentially as arch kites. A two-line kite on a
kite bar is the same topology as a kite arch, where the ground itself
is the "kite bar," and these are the same as the famous coffee mug and
donut. Further, figure-eight and pretzel knots are quite common in
kites and their dynamics.
We therefore know that engineered topological matter already exist as kites, even as mainline physicists speculate ""we are still a ways from technological applications"

| Arch of rotors within soft wing Pierre Benhaïem Airborne Wind Energy is studied to harness the huge wind reservoir in high altitude.The main problem of existing concepts and prototypes are the huge land/space used due to long tether in any wind directions for a small flying member. Arch configuration allows an effective exploitation of both inherent qualities of soft kite (lightness, lift...) and inherent qualities of rotors (electricity production, lift...), lift being the logical link. Arch configuration is a very good opportunity for a combination with Kpower's Arch of which Dave Santos is the conceptor, and where Earth is the spar, allowing filling the space used, so maximizing land used by minimizing risks of collisions of rotors. In the sky turbines are not visible, and arch covers the whole window of flight in a static way. Les éoliennes aéroportées sont étudiées pour capter les vents d'altitude plus réguliers et puissants.Les systèmes envisagés ont en général une très longue corde pour un petit dispositif volant. Cette éolienne permet de maximiser l'aire au sol et dans l'espace. http://flygenkite.com Pending patent FR1401892 Demande de brevet d'invention FR1401892 |
