Secret Life of Kites- Let them Dance (Yaw DOF) by Dave Santos

Just for the movement of the kite, and nothing else.

What else should it do?

I think we (myself included) have gotten a little lost on the purpose of these dancing kites.

Have you seen a conversion system to produce measurable, metered electricity on this mobile kite or similar versions that have been shown for years? Not me.

The reason may be that if there is no conversion system after years, it is because there should not be one. The object tells us everything, including its purpose.

So I’m thinking of something like a fun kite activity, such as wind spinners we see here and there as toys.

You would have three ranges of the “Dance Kite”:

  1. the kite dances alone (example the video above, model “from one side to the other”);

  2. the kite makes you dance (example on the image below, model “rock’n’roll”);

spidermill-dance

  1. kite network group dance.

These kite games could have the commercial success that AWES do not have.
