本发明描述了一种新颖的风力机，其中，翼型状风筝被拴系到移动基座;在风筝的循环期间风载荷的非保守性质允许在基座处提取能量。风筝系绳系统的动力学模型推导出模型的系绳作为一系列的点质量连接的无质量杆。风筝的升力和阻力特性由翼型计算确定。该系统已被发现是稳定的，通过模拟在几个感兴趣的风速。还介绍了一个从迎面而来的风中提取能量的基座运动示例。
A novel wind machine is described in which an airfoil-like kite is tethered to a moving base; the non-conservative nature of the wind loads over a cycle of the kite allows energy to be extracted at the base. A dynamic model for the kite-tether system is derived which models the tether as a series of point masses connected by massless rods. The lift and drag characteristics of the kite are determined from airfoil calculations. The system has been found to be stable via simulation at several wind speeds of interest. A sample base motion which extracts energy from the oncoming wind is also presented.Copyright © 2011 by ASME
