Engineering

Power Transmission conductive tethers, tethers for winching systems, rope-drives, rotating shafts, and more CAD & Simulation Make it virtually before building it. Blade design The torque, the rps, the airfoils… Math & Physics The purest of sciences go here. Energy Storage Crosswind Kites / Planes The kites that go wooooooooosh, wooooooooooooosh, wooooooooooosh. (Please someone write decent category descriptions!) Manufacturing Making it a reality! Generators & Gearing Go get that power! Electrifying! Ground station Design of ground stations. See also the “Power Transmission”,“Generators & Gearing” and “Electronics” categories for subsystems of ground stations. Lifters / Pilot kites Get the Lift! Lifting things. That boulder just outside of geostat orbit goes here. Electronics Zapp. Soldering. PCBs… all that stuff… Flight Control As if anything was under control. System Design Looking at the structure of whole systems.
