Lofted electric generators in energy-kite systems
It is suspected that there will be some niche applications where kite-lofted electric generators will satisfy needs winningly over kite-energy systems using ground-based electric generators. Discovering and describing those niche applications and designing the serving generator-aloft kite-energy systems is in focus here. Some companies and individuals are investing fairly pointedly in GAKES (generator-aloft kite-energy system). Others are advancing KES with electric generators remaining on the ground or water surface. Combing several generators in one system with some generators aloft and some on the ground is a possibility.
