Santos AWES Equations of State (the current mathematical frontier) So far AWE literature has been mostly preoccupied with Equations of Motion of single or double unit-kites. Under the AWES metamaterial paradigm, we now enter into Equations of State under Statistical Mechanics. We are close to being able to intelligibly recruit talent in those maths, to move forward quickly. That's part of how Igor was chosen, as well as for his amazing metamaterial imagination. I am looking at ideal gas law as the starting statistical lens, and then equations of state for matter phases. Metamaterial AWE looks rather similar to textbook phases of H20, for example. The goal is to formally calculate state/phase transitions of AWES under varied wind (calm/nominal/storm) and load (no-load to max-load) conditions. Starting states to account- ground(ed)-state, zero-point state, nominal state, depowered/furled state. It should become trivial to predict by Statistical Mechanical Equations of State how well a M600 meta-atom may perform compared to a ship-kite-quiver/groundgen. |
