The Daisy system is a torque energy transfer system.
You can learn a lot about them in the following forum threads

In my opinion these systems can be suitable as onshore and offshore wind turbines in similar power and height scale as current wind turbines. Probably torque transfer systems don’t allow to reach so high height as tensile transfer systems, but they can assure a continuous power, using a large rotor in regard to the global dimensions, that without heavy components in flight, a…

Does torque transfer over a network of tensioned hoops scale better (better power to weight) than over a solid shaft?
I believe so
Because the lines are soft, we don’t have to worry about huge torsion in the shaft. Shaft deformation is not a problem.
Get the ring to ring geometry right so spacing is less than diameter. The twisting problem is done. In the unlikely scenario of more torque than lift it comes downward. Excellent.
The benefit of high tension combined with wide diameter and multi…
