https://innovationorigins.com/en/kitepower-displays-the-miracle-of-airborne-energy/<blockquote>The kite system is made out of four components. A ground station – a 20 ft container – converts the kite’s mechanical energy into electricity and keeps rolling the device. From there, a cable connects the unit to the kite, which is attached to a control unit that oversees its movement and communication with the ground station. The 60 m2 kite itself combines ruggedness and low weight, featuring an inflatable part and a fiberglass skeleton. This way, the device can reach heights up to three hundred meters. | |||
The kite does not spin around; the control station makes it move in a way that it closely resembles a figure of eight. This kind of movement allows the device to fly perpendicular to the wind, thus making sure that the kite moves at a higher speed and with improved efficiency. In addition, if the device were to move in circles, the cable would entangle, thus being ineffective. </blockquote> | |||
