Energlider faces steep learning curve
Another desperate AWE validation-challenge case for the riskiest most marginal class of AWES architecture, on an unrealistically short timeframe, with a considerable public budget. Predicted close replication of high-complexity and poor-scalability outcomes by similar efforts-

As oft, the job postings inform better than the PR or press. Here an Energlider student position is sought to prepare IOE IMPaC in-house expertise. Like Minesto/SABB, and Fraunhofer these are heavy hitters in real space, not just professors, celebs, kite freaks, or backyard inventors. The lucky student is being handed a tremendous opportunity and challenge.
Whatever happens next, Energlider looks to stay in the AWE R&D pokergame, just as Makani is still doubling-down.

===========================================================Data as of Sept. 4, 2019
BMWi is the grant source for IOE IMPaC AWE R&D, which could become a regular pipeline of funding. Its great that Northern EU R&D is diversifying into its heavy-industrial prowess, creating strong internal technical review and competition pressure outside the narrow circle of early players. Neglected AWES architectures have fresh merit chances to create a place in the EU R&D mix. The sad part is that the global AWE community spirit of a decade ago is lost for now. As things stand, Northern EU AWE hopes to prevail more or less alone, but risks ending up sidelined by its own entrenched provincialism, as the rest of the AWE world leap-frogs beyond. A grand global fly-off refereed by Fraunhofer remains a best option. Perhaps BMWi would warm to that.
