WO1980001705  
Priority date: Feb. 13, 1979
Energy System

Inventors: Peter Olaf BROBERG; and Karl Alex Krister KARLING 
both of
Sweden

Comments:

  • It seems that a sense of the 1977 Selsam tramway or laddermill  is visited within the instruction.
  • It seems that the twin wing push-pull method using one through rope is understood.
  • It seems that groundgen with rope transmission is rehearsed.
  • Notice that McCutchen and Payne had already filed for claims in 1975.
  • Notice that Miles Loyd's paper on crosswind kiting would come after the Broberg priority date. Those skilled in the arts had in toolkit that aerodynamic pressures would increase in moving wings traverse to the stream (foundation of boat sailing and conventional rotor-wind energy production.)     Notice that the inventors are fully aware of the special higher apparent winds when the wings are moving.
  • The text is shy of the word "kite" and uses "aerostat" for both LTA and HTA kited wings to give the buoyancy needed for the processes described.
  • "take-off of power" refers to mining some of the energy of the system for a conversion-of-energy process.
  • We do not yet have the timeline history of "conception" by the two inventors for their ideas.

Term attention: The inventors use "aerostatic" to include HTA wings, not just LTA aerostats.

Loop embodiment with recognition that the down-going wings may be controlled to have "high extent" "negative" "buoyant force to do positive work for the purpose of the AWES.
