Kite
(including paravanes, gliding parachutes, parachutes,
drogues, hapa, kite hang
gliders, paragliders, parakites, towed gliders, and kytoons, and the like) patents
that involve conversion of upper winds for practical works
form a key source for the AWES industry.
Our project is yet incomplete.
A separate collection-discussion group:
https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/kitepatents/conversations/messages
holds many kite patents that are not yet funneled to year folders.
Note that very many patents from non-US nations are yet to be brought
comprehensively forward; we have only an incomplete link set for non-US kite
patents.
Have fun! Let us know of what concerns you. Help fulfill the collection.
Many non-USA patents are missing yet, waiting for someone to find and input for
all.
Annotations are invited. Each patent may be discussed by
sending note to
editor@upperwindpower.com
Patent numbers on this page have not all been placed in the yearly files.
We aim to place a patent in the year of first filing or perhaps a stated earlier
"priority date", but we sometimes relent to
the granting date. Confirm the date that concerns you by examining all the
documents related to a patent.
Let us know of patents
in your nation that we may include. Thanks.

Note: Only a small fraction of intended patents are
yet
represented herein; the project will advance nearly daily. Be sure to help us
focus on patents that concern you. Many sorts of interests invite forming
a comprehensive collection of kite patents:
- Learn from the claim descriptions.
- Hobbyists and museum workers who wish to build, fly,
demonstrate, illustrate, and display in a kite the patented claims will
benefit from a comprehensive collection of kite patents.
- Kite energy workers will explore kite patents for ideas
that may supply solutions to one or more of the ten scales of airborne wind
energy realms.
-
Plan: In support of
AWEIA and industry news organ
Upper Windpower
:
When a patent receives pointed attention by a member, then a file will be opened
to hold discussions over that patent. Else the patent will first link to a
public resource holding the patent documents. Niche applications in kite energy,
tethered aviation, and AWECS evolution at one or more of the ten AWECS scales
will be noted as described by someone. Of course, not all technology gets
described within patent; during discussions such additional art is welcomed to
be described. Send interests, text, notes, drawings, photographs, enhanced
drawings, claim analysis, etc. for this project to
Notes@EnergyKiteSystems.net
Have fun as you change the world for the better!
Legend: "GPV" linked at a patent line item will link to
Google's copy of the patent (which does not hold all the lateral legal documents
which see patent offices' related documents); this will be used when main link
goes to a patent office file set for the patent.
Following the main focus on kite and kite energy, we aim to extend focus into
winches, line handling, tethers, line types, flying schemes, AWECS farm methods,
applications, autopilot controlling, anchors, special methods, safety in AWE,
tensairity, tensegrity, connectors, spar construction, inflatables, bladder
pressure adjusters, hydrogen production, AWECS launching and retrieving methods,
AWECS inspections methods, etc.

patent number and inventor's name so we may place your comment on a page

Plan: Get all patents in patent # order for US. Do same for

for their own inventors?
