  • gangline, gang line, gang-line, "The gangline is the series of ropes, clips, cables, and so on that attach your team of ________"

    Kite Energy is so novel that we must borrow or invent much of the language required to practice it. "Gangline" fills a major gap in our nomenclature & refers to any kiteline along which multiple kite elements are attached. The usage comes from dog sledding-

    gangline -- the line that runs between the dogs and connects to the object being towed. Source: Alaskan Terms Glossary.

    By means of a gangline, large numbers of scale-limited power or lifter kites can be aggregated for utility-scale production. The term applies to many kinds of kite trains, arches, and lattices. It is even natural to imagine hierarchical dendritic "ganglines of ganglines", just as a tree branches from trunk to leaves. Without ganglines, it is hard to imagine how we could ever get the full potential out of kites. M3233

    • Aircraft using gravity to drive its body through a fluid with a non-zero L/D deflection. Heavier than air gliders have positive L/D. LTA gliders may have negative L/D relative to reference used in conventional gliding down as positive.
    • Those skilled in the attending arts see that a paraglider is a gliding kite.
    • Just the wing of a paraglider (sans essential tether and resistive set) is not a paraglider type of glider when set in fluid stream; the wing is then a non-paraglider glider.
    • Just the wing of a kite is no longer a kite but a wing that is a glider when set in fluid stream.

    • There are gliders that are not hang gliders, not gliding kites.
    • A sailplane is a glider
    • A gliding parachute is a gliding kite and is thus a glider.
    • It is nearly impossible for any parachute not to be a glider in part of its flight, as perfect zero L/D is nearly impossible to obtain due to the slight asymmetries that occur in real material parachutes designed for zero L/D; gusts and vibrations will set up asymmetries that result in a non-zero L/D for much of the flight of parachute. By default, aircraft meant to approach zero L/D are called parachutes.

  • gliding kites, n. "exciting new class of kites knows as "Gliding Kites." Actually not new. Hang gliders that hang the pilot or payload from a tether are gliding kite systems. Canopy gliders are gliding kites. When the anchor of a kite system is perhaps a human with hand control and the pilot controls the wing to go into slack-tether, the tether may become the payload during a gliding episode, but in that gliding episode, the drag or resisting of the hanging tether keeps the gliding wing as a kite system, but with a moving falling anchor (the slack tether). Indoor zero-wind kiting is being visited by gliding kites. Kite energy is considering advancing the potential energy of the wing of a kite system by way of tether timed tugs combined with wing controls; such efforts may include a stepped-tow and stepped gliding in order to obtain a net climbing of the wing or a keeping of the wing at a certain altitude. Eddy kite glider. Canopy paragliders are gliding kites.
  • gliding kites, verb: Have the wing of a kite system go into gliding episode. Or take the wing of a kite system and fully release the tether, so the wing becomes a glider.

    Lifted Idea: generate electricity with kites

    08/11/2010 - The team of "Green Wing" designed a wind turbine that generates electricity using a kite.The steering dragon that moves in up to 1000m altitude generated by a cycle of extract and feed stream that can then be fed into the grid.The advantage of Green Wing than normal wind turbines is the immense height of the kite - in such heights dominate much more constant and stronger especially winds."Green Wing" is a foundation project UnternehmerTUM GmbH, Centre for Innovation and Business Creation at the TU Munich.In the autumn, the company will be formally established.(Static) http://www.unternehmertum.de/

  • GRP rod Confusion is possible. glass reinforced plastic. Glass is not carbon.

    Distinguish: graphite reinforced polymer rods where the "G" is supressed to "C" for the "carbon" as graphite is a form of carbon.     "graphite fiber" is also sometimes used to refer tocarbon fiberorcarbon fiber-reinforced polymer.
    Perhaps more common for the carbon is to use the "C" as the CRP rod for carbon reinforced plastic rod. Or CFRP for carbon-fiber reinforced polymer (or plastic).
