Advanced Kite Networks is now a proven AWE way, with the help of DeepSeek, to power the world. No need for prototypes and all the superfluous stuff: just proclaim it and use AI as an echo chamber.
You also know that certain projects have made it possible to achieve around 100 kW. For how long? In a commercially useful way? No one cares.
As for my personal research, it turns out that the more I advance, the more the solutions I hope for turn out to be nonviable: for example parasails with high drag coefficients but which melt as soon as the wind speed increases, or even inflatable profiles whose effectiveness is reduced as soon as the real or apparent wind increases.
AWE will remain the energy of the future until a spark of intelligence comes to turn everything upside down.
