Artist's vision of energy kite systems in the jet stream. 

Depicted are gyrokites each having four blades. The depicted long tethers are electrical conductors. The game would be to have autorotation of the blades by resisting the jet stream and then mining a portion of the forces of autorotation to drive at-hub electrical generators.

Normally the kite would not be inflated in harbor. So, what is being done in this photograph? The ship is docked, but the kite is inflated.  
What boat is at the right of the Beluga?

Intro: Images of kite systems are linked, studied, and discussed. Kite systems have a resistive set, tether set, and wing set. The kite systems "fly" in fluids. The resistive set may be moving or fix to a referenced object; moving may be free-fall or constrained in some manner. Hence, FFAWE, kite hang gliders, gliding canopies, conventional kite systems, and more are kites, i.e., kite systems.
Photographs and art are realms where images live. Link the images or post the images, if you have permission to post. A tiny linked editorial thumbnail of a larger linked image seem to the original source seems to fit fair use; give credit to the holding web site, when appropriate.
Discuss the image. Content? Implications? Significance? Implied mechanicals? Setting.
This is not the place to specialize in the images taken by KAP; such photos are often interesting; those photographs by KAP of external scenes are valued, but this is not the place for discussing KAP results, except when KAP is taking photographs of other kite systems or of its own kite system in action.

This room is part of the international AWES Museum.
