I would like to point out though, that there was nothing "light" about the promotion of Kite in Spyder. As me and other users have noted, Kite installation during the initialization setup of Spyder was an opt-out by default. I am sure many people either clicked through the setup and installed Kite without reading the "fine-prints" as is totally reasonable for an average user, and/or they mistakenly assumed that Kite is a safe and secure plugin that had been vetted by the Spyder developers, as it's one of the first things that you see when you start using Spyder. Without sounding accusatory, I was very disappointed that the Spyder developers allowed this to happen. Since I haven't been monitoring your git tracker issues related to Kite (because frankly it's not my job), I will take your word for it that not many Spyder users raised my concern. But anyone who just googles Kite will quickly discover that Kite had severe security/privacy concerns, was an invasive software, and its company conducted extremely questionable business practices in other open source packages as far back as 2017. In fact, the very same announcement post of Kite's sponsorship of Spyder in 2019 already had several users that raised their concerns in the comments section ( -ide.org/blog/spyder-kite-funding/). I don't think it's fair to say that well since the users didn't find any issue and complained about them on git, then we will let it slide. I get that you guys are maintaining/developing Spyder for all of us for free, but I also uphold you to a higher standard because a single bad commit or decision by you can lead to disproportional effects on the rest of us. And sometimes these effects take a while for us to find out and may have irreversible and disastrous consequences. I truly beseech you to be truthful with us and with yourselves, whether if corporate sponsorship, financial or otherwise, means that you can lower the standard that you hold for software integration, even if it comes at the cost of your users. Because if that is the case, then it's a slippery slope to the end of free and open source development as we know it.
Have you guys disabled the update feature that's on by default that essentially uses your computer to upload to other windows 10 computers if not that might be the reason be behind it. If you haven't disabled it go into the advance options of the windows update then click choose how updates are delivered then either set it to local only or just turn off completely
Once the perpendicular strips were in place, the students filled in the four kite areas with tissue paper squares. I wanted to have a unified look of some type with their kites, so the class was given instructions to use only two colors. Matching colors were to be used in opposite sections of the kite. Although the directions were simple, it was intriguing to see the variety of ways my students interpreted the instructions. The completed projects offered such a beautiful variety of colors.
If you need a little extra information about this project, you definitely want to check out the video tutorial I created for these stained glass kites. It provides in-depth, step by step instructions!
Waldorf window stars are a beautiful craft to decorate windows with color. But, did you know it's not merely stars you can create with kite paper? There are endless designs to create out of the waxy, window star paper (kite paper and window star paper can be used interchangeably to call this type of paper), and today we share how to create tulips and daisies to welcome Spring. Create an entire garden right on your windows!
1. For a daisy, you will need two sheets of kite paper in the petal color of your choice, plus a small piece of yellow kite paper for the center of the flower. Begin with one square of petal colored paper.
This page contains an interactive Java applet to explore the various factors which affect thedesign and flight of several kites. All of the information presented by the applet are available within theBeginner's Guide to Aerodynamics. You should start with the slide describing thekite design.
Other problems may occur while running the applet due to it being outdated. Until it is updated, here are some links to help with the understanding of the topic. understanding of a kite. For a simpler understanding, HERE is a kite-making activity. For a more complex understanding, HERE is a report on the aerodynamics of a kite.
With this software you can study the physics and math which describe the flight of a kite. You can choose from several types of kites and change the shape, size, and materials to produce your own design. You can change the values of different variables which affect the design and immediately see the new flight characteristics. With this version of the program, you can even test how your kite would fly on Mars, or off the top of a mountain. The program tells you if your design is stable or not and also computes a prediction of how high your kite will fly.
The View window for the kite is shown on the left of the program screen. You can change the size of the image by using the slider at the far left. Just click and drag on the black bar to make the image larger or smaller. If your kite design or trim is, unstable a red and yellow banner appears over the graphics. You should then change either a Shape input or a Trim input until the banner disappears.
You can move the kite within the view window by moving your cursor into the window, holding down the left mouse button, and dragging the kite to a new location. If you lose the kite, click on the Find button above the slider.
If the "Design" or "Trim" mode is chosen, the following variables are displayed. The Weight of the kite is calculated based on the input geometry and the materials selected. The weight is displayed in ounces or gram-weights and does not include the weight of the control line. The aerodynamic Lift and Drag are computed by the program and displayed in ounces or gram-weights. The Tension in the line is displayed in ounces or grams. This is computed based on the forces on the kite and the weight of the line. The Center of Gravity (Cg) and Center of Pressure (Cp) are the average location of the weight and aerodynamics forces, respectively. They are computed by the program in inches or centimeters from the bottom of the kite as shown in the "Front" view. The Surface Area of all the material and the length of all the components of the Frame needed to make your kite are computed based on your geometric input and the type of kite selected. These values are used in the computation of the weight and Cg. The trimmed Angle of attack is displayed in degrees and may be either input by the user or calculated by the program. If the value is calculated by the program, the output numerals are green and the value is calculated to eliminate any torque on the kite. If the value is input, the output numerals are yellow to warn the user that the resulting flight conditions may be unstable. The program calculates the net Torque on the kite about the bridle point. In stable flight the value is zero (in this program it is computed to a very small but non-zero number). The units for torque are ounces-inch. Using the "Side" view of the kite, a positive torque is clockwise and a negative torque is counter-clockwise about the bridle point.
If the "Fly" mode is selected, four additional variables are displayed. The Range-X is the horizontal distance of the kite from your location during flight. This value is related to the Height-Y and is also displayed on the "Field" view. The Height-Y is the predicted altitude at which your kite flies. This value depends on the flight characteristics of the kite, the wind velocity, the atmospheric conditions, and the amount of control line that you use. The value is computed in feet or meters and is shown on the "Field" view. The atmospheric pressure is displayed in pounds per square inch (psi) or or kilo-Pascals (kPa) and depends on the altitude and planet chosen on the input panel. The atmospheric temperature is also displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (F) or Celsius (C).
Input variables are displayed on input panels at the upper right of the screen. There are four sets of input variables which depend on the program mode.
- In the "Design" mode, the default input panel is the Shape panel. On the Shape panel you first select the type of kite to be designed by using the drop menu at the upper right. You can choose from five basic designs. Depending on the design, you then vary the height, H1 and H2, and width parameters, W1 and W2, to alter the shape of your kite. The "Front" view shows the meaning of these variables and also indicates if your design is unstable. There are default geometries for each kite based on the width W1. If you change the type of kite, you will get the new kite default with the current value of W1 held constant. Pushing the Reset button on the view panel will return the default geometry with W1 = 10 inches.
- In the "Design" mode, you can also change the material properties of all of the parts of your kite. Push the white "Material" button to display the Material input panel. On the Material panel you change the material used for the Surfaces, Frame, Tail, and control Line by using the drop menu at the far right of each part. Each material has a characteristic "density" which is displayed in the black output box. This density is used to compute the weight and Cg of your kite and the sag of the control line. For each part you can Specify your own material density by making this selection on the drop menu. The black output box then becomes a white input box and you can enter your own data as described above. You can use the Max Dimension input box to change the size of your kite. The max dimension is used on the height, width, and bridle input sliders and boxes. You can use this parameter to design very large or very small kites.
- In the "Trim" mode, the default input panel is the Trim panel. On the Trim panel you can select to have the program compute the trimmed angle of attack or your can input your own flight angle of attack by using the drop menu at the upper right. If you decide to input your angle of attack, you then input the Angle in degrees. The "Side" view shows the inclination of your kite relative to the wind. The most important variables used to trim your kite are the Bridle and Knot variables. Bridle gives the total length of the bridle string in inches or centimeters. Knot gives the length along the bridle string from the base of the kite to the attachment of the control line. These two variables affect the trim angle of the kite which affects the magnitude of the aerodynamic forces. Because the kite pivots about the knot in flight, the location of the knot has a large effect on the stability of the kite. The length of the Tail also affects stability and trim by shifting the Cg.
- In the "Fly" mode, you may choose to fly your kite on Earth or on Mars by using the menu button at the right. The gravitational constant on Mars is different than the earth, so you will notice that the weight of your kite changes. (The material densities and payload weight are still based on "earth" values). You can set the altitude in feet or meters which changes the atmospheric pressure and temperature using an atmospheric model. You can set the Wind speed in feet or meters per second and the length of the control Line in feet or meters. The weight of the control line is calculated and causes the line to sag as shown in the "Field" view. Eventually a point is reached where the line touches the ground at your feet. The program then ignores any additional line input that you make. You can also attach a payload to your kite at the center of gravity using the input box and slider at the bottom of the panel.
