Rotor surrounding a round kite

I’d think I would have to do with the lift to weight ratio. Essential theres a few ways of going about it. Poly tubing with coils or copper tubing. Poly tubing would be the lighter option. Though the copper tube being the strongest option. Say you have a final ring filed with magnetic fluid. It weighs 2-3kg. The kite would need to be able to lift that with all the tethering gear. Even a ball park figure a 6-1 lift ratio. would need a kite able to lift 6 times its own weight at variable wind spe…

[image] Just an idea of what a stator ring could look like currently a work in process. PVC pipe/ hula hoop. With 2layer windings 50mm in length. As mentioned previously fill with magnetic fluid or magnetic ball barrings. Fix to a spinning kite and hey presto. Space windings geometrical. in 6 or 12 groupings. I wound two coils to show. Spacing and to show components potential. Just using what I have around to demonstrate the concept.

I wonder if your ring generator could adapt to a rotor rotating around a round kite.
