Topic    Compression in Taut Lines
  • Novel opportunities in AWE via exploiting the compression in taut lines?
  • How to accomplish good tasks by using the compressions occurring in kited lines?
  • Line designing when aiming to mine taut-line compressions?
  • Explore oscillating compresssions in kited lines.
  • It is not clear whether this space has been explored except in a defensive mode; that is, knots in taut lines reduce the integrity and strenth in said lines; and transport of gases in taut lines have required anti-compression structure in the hoses.
  • Recall the Chinese finger handcuff?      wiki/Chinese_finger_trap
  • Towing socks (type of Chinese finger trap), cable grips, Chines Fingers, wire-mesh pullers,
  • How much compression in a taut line is available for doing good works?
  • Designing a valving line that at slack opens to let air in; then upon the line going taut, the air is encased and compressed; how to use that compressed air?
  • Explore oscillating tautness with specially designed lines that aim to utilize line compressions.
  • Notice on open-strutted torsion-transferring complex "lines" that the struts are compressed when the complex torsion shaft is tensed.
  • Heat of compression?
  • Some line-splicing tactics utilize compressions from taut lines.
  • A knotless towing sock could be used to form a knotless connection with another line; as the socky line holds in its interior the end of another line, the tautness brings on compression. Careful design of the sock and held line may bring solutions to niche needs.
  • Cable sock pull test.AVI        
  • How much compression occurs on a beam placed normal to the tether's axis?
  • Could compression in a kited tether be emphasized to the extent that new properties occur for kited tethers?
  • If a kited tether is hollow and used for transport of goods/people from aloft, how much compression from the walls of the tether will be felt by the goods or people?
