                                              Kites and Fire   
Caution: Playing with fire irresponsibly may injure, kill, kill others, ruin property, or start unwanted secondary fires. Every precaution should be made; all laws should be respected.  Herein will be described hazardous operations only to be undertaken under the supervison responsible adult.                                             

  • Use kite systems to fight forest fires, house fires, etc.  In fire-fighting operations kite system might move materials, carry fire-retardant, drag soil-plowing equipment, move personnel, lift hoses, ...
     
  • A kite system might be used to set strategic fires during a fire-fighting operation. Notes on this are welcome.
     
  • Wings of kites may be fireproofed; line of kite systems may be of fireproof materials.
    • Then such special kite systems might be used to enter fires to set explosives designed to change the nature of the burning as willed by the chief commander of the fire-stopping operation.
    • Such specially made kite systems might carry fuel for burning aloft. Spewing-fire wings?  Notes for peaceful practical purposes for this system are invited to be sent tot he editor.
    • Special dragon kites that spew flames might be done in a safe manner.                             
       
  • Wings of kite systems might have a fused fire-starter or a triggered fire-starter. At the ready the wing would be set ablaze. This might be part of a fireworks display when the environment is safe for such operations. Perhaps over the ocean when the wind is well known and favorable. Instead of rocketing up fireworks, consider having fireworks sent up kited tethers for igniting aloft; could this save on the costs for shows?
     
  • Tether only on fire?  Specially constructed kite systems might have a tether section that holds fuel that would be ignited by trigger or fuse; just that section would go ablaze; the base tether would be made of materials that would retain integrity during and after the fire occurred along the tether.  All precautions for safe operations would be made by responsible operators.
     
  • Parts of a wing might be combustible and burnt on a schedule for some special practical reason.
     
  • A sliding-on-tether object that is spewing flames might fulfill some practical purpose.
  • Fires occurring on the ground may cause or trigger thermals that would change the course of a kited wing.
  • Fire may be used to burnish wood and bamboo for special craft reasons.
  • Fire may be used in kilns to dry wood and bamboo during crafting processes.
  • Fire may be used to melt the ends of some lines in the crafting process.
  • Mysteries of the Cincinnati Fire Kite    Two videos.
  • Fire Kite E.P. is title of an album. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_Kite_E.P.
