Generator Document Type and Number :United States Patent Application
20080231058 Kind Code:A1
Abstract: The Kitepower Generator uses one or more kites
that go through a oscillating cycle of motion creating varying forces
on their tether lines. These varying forces are converted into
rotation, using a crankshaft. The cycle of motion may be driven by the
inherent kite design or through the action of two or more tether lines
connected to a crankshaft. The pull from the lines is stronger when
they pull out and weaker when they are being pulled in. The cycle of
motion may involve flapping, swirling, waving, swooping, veering or
feathering. Several kites may be connected or combined into a single
composite kite. Efficiency is higher with three or more lines so that
one is always pulling out strongly. Various techniques keep kites
aloft in still or stormy weather.Nicholson, Kit (Kirkby Lonsdale,
