| Buddy-boat kite-arch sailing
|
Regarding kitesailing with a buddy-boat kite-arch configuration:
The rope-loadpath and tarp kite arch method in effect creates a multi-sail
square-rig in the sky. Its been grand fun sailing a 300m2 maxiyacht-scale rig
that only costs 2000USD in material and assembles fast and easiy. Here is a
video showing ease-of-handling:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Go1va4Yyf-g
This wing progress owes a lot to Dave Culp. It would be great to get his
detailed technical reaction to the new megakite rigging method.
One can easily imagine using "real" sails as is (COTS) for this sort of Sky
Rig,
but is this practical? Promising sails for the idea would be
asymmetric-spinnakers set in opposed-pairs along the arch-lines. Rows of
arch-lines serve as multiple "masts" to set more sail on. There is a long
trend
toward easier sailhandling by means of roller-furlers for jibs and snuffer
sleeves for spinnakers. This means we can easily add, reduce, or douse kite
sail
by well established practices. North Sails has good online videos on the
latest
sail-handling
systems.

- Shunting Foil (does not tack, waggle, or loop, but
reverses ends). Dave Santos. 2011, March 25.
See HERE.
Attached is an accidental demo of a Shunting Foil (does not tack, waggle, or
loop, but reverses ends). Its made of cardboard, stick, & string & was
intended to self-tack.
It is interesting that this one is a canard aircraft in one direction &
conventional the other, but normal ones will likely be symmetrical along the
travel axis.
It pulls hardest at each extreme as it stops, whereas the tacking wingmill
pulls hardest flying fast at the center of its sweep.
Please file with others, as it is the only example of this powerful mode, which
may prove useful.
I'll post a description & link after some more pondering, ds
March 25, 2011
- shunting (proa sailing) "shunting is how a proa
(Polynesian sailboat) tacks, front (LE) becomes back (TE), as back becomes
front"
"flipping is like a flipper (or regular sailboat tacks), front is always front
(LE) & back always back (TE)"
- shunted (electrical)
- shunted (proa sailing)
- shuntWING In kite energy, a shuntWING is a tethered wing
that flies one way with one leading edge and then flies another way with a
change of leading edge to the former trailing edge.
"a wing that changes front & back like a proa in sweeping sideways, some of
my flipwings do this mode sometimes & it may turn out useful" +Dave Santos
ShuntWings are an "open-source design".

-

flow after the separation point on the bottom of the airfoil
-
The 2011 September OZONE XXLite PG offer is probably
not a true single-surface wing.
Air flow aft of the stream stagnation point or separation point goes to top
surface of an airfoil and to the bottom surface of the airfoil. In the video
there is clear partial bottom surface material aft of the air flow separation
point. This offer of OZONE is using an airfoil format that has a top surface
and some bottom surface material. A true single-surface wing has not thickness
except for one thickness of sheet used exactly for just one of the two, pick
your choice top or bottom, but not both. The Rogallo Wing parawing is
single-surface; the gliding PlaySail is single surface; the Allison kite-glider
is a single surface; but the offer of subject and the OutLeader™ (though of a
single fabric) are not airfoils of single surface, as they have a shaping that
brings on material below the stagnation point forming airfoil surface, that is,
the bottom surface of the airfoil, even if the % of full chord is small, but
substantial. Differently, look to some true single-surface PGs when applying
the term "single-surface" SSPG. ~JoeF Sept. 19,

Mike Burns spoke: =============================================
"Well, we er first came across John Dickenson when
he asked his solicitor
to send one of our customers a letter erm claiming that we had
breached his provisional papers on the wing, er which we hadn't done, we had
been flying a wing similar to this for some three years previously, but on a
different type of machine.
So, when that was clarified, we talked to John at great length and had a look
at what he had produced here at Grafton, and decided we could add what he
called the Skiwing to our production line of Skiplanes."

however, mud, grass, or even smooth stones make a good surface for sleds.

to the sun; other SolarKites convert light from any direction while kite
remains oriented to the wind. Energy from the solar conversion aloft may be
used aloft for on-board electronics while tether dynamics drive ground
generators. Stratospheric SolarKites obtain radiation from unclouded sun and
radiation from reflection off lower cloud tops.

Fly tethered wings very fast. Concern with tip speed of
autorotating wings in kite systems. Concern the movement of the entire
wing of a kite system for speed records. Concern manned kiting speeds.
Consider the speed of the entire kite system when manned or unmanned; e.g. the
speed of tracted hydro-hull where the kite (wing, tether, hull as mooring) is
moving. How will speed be measured? Fixed reference points? Apparent air
speed at the wing? Distinguish systems and speeds in
those systems. Speed in kitebuggying? Speed in water

Presented to the Fifth Annual AIAA Southern California Aerospace Systems and

Aero Group:
"We are thus led to the definition of a new term, or “speed ratio” (S), which
applies to both
propeller and turbine operation, while also highlighting the pinwheeling regime
which
separates these two power-exchange modes. We define (S) as the ratio of flight
velocity to
the “pinwheeling” flight velocity where, for the stated pitch and rotational
speed, windprop
thrust in propeller mode would fall to zero."

It is anticipated that as tethers and kite energy systems become the focus of
creative mechanical sport as part of new aviation, licenses and special
training systems will evolve in order to address the need for public safety and
airspace order. The FF-AWE manned or unmanned will become
another way to travel through upper airs; the long tether occupies a large
portion of the airspace; the systems are "very large aircraft" because of the
tether.

Main Entry: sprag
Pronunciation: \ˈsprag\
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1902
:
a pointed stake or steel bar let down from a halted
vehicle (as a wagon) to prevent it from rolling.
Note: In developed sprag clutches, the "pointed
stake" morphs to cam shapes that lock to couple torque or uncouple for a
freewheeling. Recall at a
turnstile that lets a person enter but not exit; a sprag is at work
there. Some basic applications for a sprag clutch: overrunning; indexing; or
backstopping.

- stable single line kite (SSLK) AWE.
In AWE, the use of stable single
line kite (SSLK) forms a family of explorations. One branch of
SSLK AWE uses the reel-in and reel-out method. Another branch of SSLK AWE uses
controls on the SSLK that drives a cart-generator windward or a railed cart
generator from wind window side to side. Controls may be RC or robotic reaction
servos. Another use in SSLK AWE is where the SSLK is the lifter kite for
wingmills, kitemotors. Another is the use of the SSLK in
established highly turbulent sites where the air's turbulence is mined for
actions toward generating electricity or pumping. . Another branch
of SSLK AWE regards moving goods and people in transport rather than using
other fuels. Log lifting with a SSLK is in this branch. Also,
attempts to use SSLK to tap atmospheric potential difference (Ben Franklin) is
in history. Etc. Many branches. Notes are
