Simple-to-build, cost-effective, scalable AWES

[PierreB]

Welcome to the forum @kerati.

Please can you provide a sketch of what you intend to do?

Some AWES concepts based on Savonius rotor type has been discussed in the forum, and sometime realized:

Magenn

An interesting concept is shown as the “Schematic of multi-looped Magenn Wind Rotors” on http://www.energykitesystems.net/0/Magenn/, attachment below: [MagennLoop] “1. How might the generator be groundstationed? Magnus-effect autorotating tethered non-powered aircraft (kite wings) on a loop scheme with generator on the ground? Not laddermill, just loop being driven by the rotation of the lifting wings. Notice the wings stay aloft and that the winged sector can be in and stay in very high …

Magenn

What do you make of the Magenn kites? It seems they are not active anymore, but it the concept completely dead?
