Apparatus and method for harvesting wind power using tethered airfoil

摘要: A wind energy generator for employment in the jet stream or other conditions is described herein. The craft comprises a “kite” configured with an airfoil and tethered to ground based power generator. tether are pull on during flight pattern calculated that connected enable generation. Also, aerodynamically stable configuration used can be supplemented number of periodically spaced control surfaces arranged at various points along tether. These selectively actuated stabilize position comprise two-stage having inelastic portion attached pool elastic connects kite. invention contemplates system detection devices identify local variations through systems optimal positioning
