KITEGEN

A HOPE FOR THE

FUTURE

Rotation Is
Transmitted
Through
Alternators By
Gear-box

SIDE
SLIP

The wire extends

to a certain height
And then it is brought
own.

This entire cycle is called

Yo-Yo cycle

TAKE-OFF HELPERS

PRODUCTION PHASE
Sensors are mounted to make it
travel in the exact path
Motor-Alternators convert wind
mechanical power electric power
Control is automated and a path is
predicted.

RECOVERY PHASE

When max. height is reached,

flag-shaped kite is pulled

Kite is pulled to the initial height and the

cycle is re-started

It requires additional power which

is minimum.

Production & RECOVERY PHASEs

POWER COMPARISION

ADVANTAGES
Size and weight are decreased
Flexibility in the choice of air foils
More electrical output

DISADVANTAGES
Might act as a problem for aero planes & birds
Cycle must be properly maintained
