Engineering

Energy Storage Math & Physics The purest of sciences go here. CAD & Simulation Make it virtually before building it. Blade design The torque, the rps, the airfoils… Power Transmission conductive tethers, tethers for winching systems, rope-drives, rotating shafts, and more Manufacturing Making it a reality! Ground station Design of ground stations. See also the “Power Transmission”,“Generators & Gearing” and “Electronics” categories for subsystems of ground stations. Generators & Gearing Go get that power! Electrifying! Crosswind Kites / Planes The kites that go wooooooooosh, wooooooooooooosh, wooooooooooosh. (Please someone write decent category descriptions!) Lifters / Pilot kites Get the Lift! Lifting things. That boulder just outside of geostat orbit goes here. Electronics Zapp. Soldering. PCBs… all that stuff… Flight Control As if anything was under control. System Design Looking at the structure of whole systems.
