| OrthoKite is one of the two systems of
OrthoKiteBunch (OKB) and lets a perpendicular transmission between lines
and lever according an oscillating motion to right and to left and
crosswind flat or bended trajectories. Prototype characteristics: lever length: 1 m kite area: 1.5 m² lines: 18 m Tries on 01/31/2010: wind speed: 2 m/s <wind speed<3m/s torque: 100 Nm kite speed: until 18 m/s area swept: 50 m² angular speed: 1.5 rad/s punctual power: 150 W covered angle of lever motion and kite flight : + - 100° These tries show that OK system does not generate losses like loss due to the loss of relative wind speed with linear systems, or losses because of kite entering out-of-flight window. Cost of the system (without kite, dynamometer, and further generator): $15-to-$20; so every person can verify these indications by experimenting with the system by oneself. More details and photos of the first prototype for interested persons. Pierre B M1081 |

Hi all, I thank Harry Valentine for the information and for contacts, and Joe Faust and Dave Santos for advices. I must give the response for registration and provide the registration fee (1700 CA $) on June 15. My actual position is no registration (too heavy with travel, etc., and in rapport with my profession), only publication. But before a definitive decision I would like your advice about an eventual registration? Do you think a presentation at Congress would be necessary?
