Blade and wind interact; wind's kinetic energy is converter to
mechanical energy. Lift to keep blade (wind energy converter) up.
Generator needed (mechanical to electricity converter). Transfer energy to
ground.
Blade. Popular Science and blade options in wind power.
Airfoils traveling crosswind. Slow wind to one-third its ambient velocity.
Winner: axial flow propeller turbine. [[Ed: ? we are not
propelling.]]
Generator:
Electromagnetic (rotary or linear)
Piezoelectric
Thermoelectric (Seebeck)
Photoelectric (PV)
Inverse Magnetostriction
P=Wt
T=rxF
High frequency of rotation, or high torque are required. High speed with
low torque is better.

Linear generator
Lift:
- Buoyant lift LTA: helium, hydrogen, hot gas
- Aerodynamic lift: [[He skirts seeing some
things as kites as they are kites. ]]
- Kite: kite arch, single skin, parafoil [[Ed: hey, these
are users of Bernoulli principles also. And they employ airfoils.]]
- Bernoulli: plane, gyroplane [[Ed: hey, these
are kites also.]]
- Magnus [[Ed: We see flip-wing as dominant;
the Magnus effect is minor.
- Mixed (kytoon)
"In principle, any wind energy converter may be lifted into better wind
by cheap lift." ~ Dave Santos
Energy transfer
[[Ed: Missing is "null transfer": use the energy aloft for
various purposes, i.e., leave the energy up there for utility, living,
manufacturing, self-treatment.]]
- Mechanical transfer
- Traction
- Loop (Gokak),
- Pumping (Yo-Yo),
- Translation crosswind travel (car, boat, rail, ropeway,
carousel, n-tether with pulleys, lever boom),
- Alternating phased tugs (Crank Shaft, Tripod, Archs/Bows),
- Torsion
- Shaft Rope/Cable/Tether,
RollGen Furling System Etc.
- Connected Helices,
- Bow (sic, SkyBow Rotary Arch Kite or ultra-high-aspect ratio
flip-wing).
- [[Ed. Missing is lifted mass followed by dropping mass. Pick and
place. Transport mass. Hammer. Lift glider and let working glider-gen
off for free-flight. ]]
- Electricity
- Conductive tether
- Storage & transport
- Gas
- Compression
- Depression (Sound)
- Waves Guided/redirected flow
- Liquids (Hydraulic)

The AFEP
experiment is
based on the Russian patent application filed on May 10th, 1993 by
Stanislav and Konstantin Avramenko ( PCT/GB93/00960 ).
This a straight-forward application of the single-wire electrical energy
transmission based upon the principle of longitudinal electrostatic waves
as described by Nikola
Tesla in the 1890s.
