Lift by Kite Systems

Preamble==> Study

What to lift by a kite system?  
Each type of object lifted may involve alternative lifting protocols and modifications to the kite system.
How to lift something by a kite system?  
  • Objects to be lifted might be in the wing set of the kite system.
  • Objects to be lifted might be hauled up an extant flying kite system.
  • Objects to be lifted might be sailed up main system tethers.
  • Objects to be lifted might be hung from massive arrays of semi-independent kite systems.
  • Objects to be lifted might be attached to main tether lines which lines might be partially walked-down.
  • Objects to be lifted might be captured by the kite system from other extant aircraft.
  • Objects to be lifted might be shot into the kite system or thrown into the kite system.
  • Objects to be lifted might be produced from the air (gather water from air, gather oxygen from air, collect insects from the air, collect particulates from the air, or collect and condense air aloft using energy to liquefy the air.
  • Objects might be lifted  through the used of pulled lines that go through pulley systems based in the air or on land or over water. 
  • Thin films for shading earth might be lifted by kite systems.
  • Kites may provide the mental lift required for the paradigm shift that would enable serious development & adoption of utility scale AWE systems.     ~DBMurr or DaveB, Dec. 18, 2012.
