"Wind
Fisher designs renewable energy production platforms to produce a
carbon-free fuel, ammonia, via our technology for the capture,
conversion and storage of the energy in the persistent winds on the
high seas. Our maritime platforms are autonomous, consisting of a kite
pulling a submarine with marine current turbines and chemical storage,
to produce renewable energy, prepare the post-petroleum transition, and
thus reduce greenhouse gas emissions."

This
chapter studies the control of an airborne wind energy system that is
operated in pumping cycles and uses a rotating cylinder to provide
aerodynamic lift with the Magnus effect. The proposed control strategy
aims at stabilizing the output power production which can be used for
off-grid applications, for example. In a first case study, the wind...

Tallak: ""you will know more about Magnus AWE than me very fast"
Magnus Effect is just enough power to help curve ball paths in sports.
Its a trap in AWE. WindFisher Crowd Funders will be disappointed.
FredF raised >30M on Magnus Airship and AWE schemes. Lets see
if Garret indeed will "know more" so fast as a New Forum Moderator.
=========================
Despite difficult LTA operational and economic hurdles and marginal Magnus Effect
physics, never count such players out. They may pivot to more promising schemes.
Wubbo encouraged we may chose whatever AWES basis we desire (including this).
Everyone contributes to building AWE tech mindshare. Welcome Armand & Garret.
