Slow Chat II

@dougselsam

Now you’re adding the common “Profethor Crackpot” idea of translating the rotation of a turbine at the tower top, to the bottom, so as to be able to place the generator at the bottom, as though this idea hasn’t been discussed for literally 100 years and counting, with no successful examples.

I added the following message which you didn’t mention:

@PierreB

We also remove the piston or something similar using pressure. The belt is tightened with a tensioner on the ground.

And then finally we realize that it doesn’t work as well as a traditional wind turbine, so we go back to the current art.

Doug:
You should know that the world of working wind turbines continues its path without worrying about AWE, whose failures have been known for several years, whether it is reeling-kites, flygens, multi-rotors (invented and discussed for decades without any real outlet commercial and whatever the configurations: no road leads to the SuperTurbine ™ which is like a fishing rod at the end of which you would be incapable of lifting a small tuna unless you have a huge kite).
