I ask some small questions which can be completed.
About components:
-
Rigid or/and flexible kite?
-
Groundgen (yoyo, torsion transfer, loop belt, carousels…) or flygen?
About features:
-
Stationary swept area (all excepted yoyo) or swept area going downwind (yoyo)?
-
Stationary main tether(s) (@Kitewinder, @Rodread’s Daisy and other rotors, and also Y configuration with dancing crosswind kites) or moving main tether (“simple” crosswind kites) within stationary swept area (flygen like Makani), or within swept area going downwind (yoyo like @Kitepower, Ampyx, Kitemill…)?
-
Kite-farm or network (Daisy) or other?
About methods:
-
Start small then growing?
-
Marketing in all steps, comprising small devices?
-
Using artificial intelligence?
-
Open R&D and sharing?
Beside it some ratios could be useful:
-
Power/weight ratio or power/kite area, which are the most used ratios, favoring crosswind kites.
-
Power/space ratio, which can be useful as there are some possibility of no secondary use (no fly-zone, no inhabitants, no farming or fishing unless devices are included) due to risks that are compounded with simple (without Y configuration) crosswind kites.
