• Loop chain kite system:  A set of loop lines (one or more loop lines) are beaded with wing elements (one or more); the wing elements drive the loop that is constrained by a set of pulleys. The pulleys may be arranged in various ways; one way is to have a pulley at the ground level. Whether there is sky pulley or not depends on design of the system. When there is no pulley in the sky, then the system might be controlled to streamline the down-going side of the loop. If there is a sky pulley, then a lifter kite system might be used to maintain the position of the sky pulley while the loop is driven; a very strong lifter system could permit the down-going part of the loop to be driven strong with beaded wings controlled to left in the downward direction.
