JoeF proposes exploring water wicks and water-wicking tethers in some

wicks might carry the water to the ground; no report of uses in AWECS
yet. A wick might become part of a sensor or a trigger.
Where fog is used
to collect water for drinking or agricultural purposes, could kite
systems advance the collection effort?

- windless kiting
is set to play a significant role in AWE.
- windless kiting
history Of course windless
kiting history is about as old as kiting; when there is insufficient
wind, then the human has run to make the kites fly; the added dimensions
of phased towing and phased tugging to give cycles of gliding and kiting
by the same wing set also must have come early as holders of lines got
tired of running and snapped the tethers to give some apparent boost to
the wing. Sharp awareness of phased tugging for kite-based gliding
cycles is something to trace in history; notes are welcome. Such
tactics to maintain AWES in lulls is something of contemporary interest.
- windless time or calm or when there is
insufficient wind to operate a wind-driven device such as an energy kite

- upper windpower from AWES/kite-energy (using
tethers to kite systems mostly) has yet to be a significant producer of
electrical energy, but has significant use in performing other tasks,
especially in the use of traction sectors. Electricity derived from
working AWES is not yet feeding any major electrical grid; small devices
have been demonstrated to produce electricity. The reason for this web
site concerns upper windpower development for generating energy and
performing other tasks.

There is a new world’s largest kite (WLK for short), flown in public for
the first time at Berck sur mer, France on April 17th. Built by Peter
Lynn Kites Ltd. for the Al Farsi KiteTeam from
Kuwait, Source
BUT A NEW RECORD: This new one’s a ray – after the style of the original
Mega Ray (now owned and campaigned by German kite personality Lutz
Treczok) – but it’s twice as big at 1250 square meters (65 meter
wingspan).
- Future trains and Mega-Kites will dwarf the 2011 WLK.

- A work kite is a kite system employed to do some
task other than merely being itself which is already a way of doing
something, i.e., converting wind energy to lift and drag to sustain the
kite sailed body in the air (or water). Work kites perform tasks,
pull things, generate electricity, move things, lift things, cut things
grind things, etc. Hundreds of tasks have been done by work kites
throughout history. More tasks in K3, the age of
tethered aviation, the age of the tethered working wing systems, are
slated to perform huge tasks.
- A work kite is a kite type that performs a
special work.
- See also: Kite
applications where focus is on the specific works done by work
kites or work kite systems.

- work phase
Types: power phase, cost phase, positive work phase, negative
work phase, consuming phase, production phase, generation phase, energy
consuming phase, energy generation phase, recovery phase,
... Notice that some authors will
simply mean by "work phase" as the production phase and not
the recovery phase (which indeed yet require work to perform).

wide roller when wanted.
Conception of JpF for any purpose, but the purpose of first conception
regards placing around the 1908 Breslau hang glider A-frame basebar on
A-frame control bar of hang glider a collapsed air bag; trigger with CO2
cartridge with controlled slow and deliberate opening of the airbag that
is a long donut, not explosive. inflatable that rolls as a wide wheel;
the basebar is the axis of rotation. The wideness and fatness of the
elongated donut airbag assures rolling over more types of ground
texture. Think of pie-crust dough roller; but instead of the wood making
the wide roller, have an inflated airbag that is a long donut free to
rotate over the basebar or even the basebar let to be rotating (be sure
to keep a tension through-cable interior of the basebar).
Hint photo (think of wider and smaller than shown, but note the hole of
the donut that allows rotation over a basebar; a bearing over a basebar
is one way to have the rolling be free.
The collapse WRWW could be in a streamlined pack;
