Market status
report, August 2011 by GL Garrad Hassan (they face 22 companies which
is about 1/5 th of the field; maybe another study or group will face the
full set of Stakeholders actively doing AWE. The report favors offshore
and seems to have a heavy SkySails aura; the reports seems to have missed
KiteLab Group. Full reading is yet to occur to this commenting person: JpF

SkyHigh Fund™ Announcement:

- July 14, 2011 opinion by JoeF: The phrase "Are we talking 'beaming'
the energy or really long wires?" That concern direction would best be
expanded in order to face other opportunities:
- Non-electrically-conductive tether set that drives
ground-based electric generators or fluid pumps
- by reel-in-and-out schemes or laddermill or fan-belt schemes.
- by various rocking arms or counterweighted tipping beams.
- or by tracting carts, trains, or hulls that have electric generators
in axels, rings, or water turbines.
- Tasking: Direct mechanical power used to perform direct tasks
that otherwise would use other fuels. Included in this is the traction
of cargo ships, yachts, boats, and sports players; but many other tasks
are known.
The beaming proposal is more distant in time for fulfillment. Beaming to
ground or to airborne targets are options.
The electrically conductive compound tether schemes for "flygens" have
niche uses in near term; utility-scale electrically-conductive tethers
for flygens sit also after 1., 2, and 3.
- Aerial transportation using AWE methods has a variety of
feasible solutions that sit available for political will. Coupled
free-flight wings, lofted cable-ways, and bi-fluid utilization (water
and air) using paravane and kite/kytoon compounds.
- AWE may tap the thickness vertically of the upper winds.
- AWE ROI will be the cause for a change in the wind power spectrum.
