Bike based kite power

[dave santos]

Joe,   Found a kite energy start with a focus on bike mechanical means. Have you seen this stuff? www.kitebot.org   ================== Jeremy,   We have a several sweet bike based kite energy prototypes nearby on the coast (KiteLab Ilwaco, WA).   Lets team up. Need anything in particular?   dave santos   KiteLab Group

Hi Dave,

I'd be delighted to team up!

For starters, I'd be very interested in your feedback on the design proposed on the site.  Parts that you think could be done and/or explained better.  I'd be equally interested to hear about the approaches KiteLab has been taking.

At this point, I'm putting together an order for parts to build the prototype, and building a computer model of the drive/recoil system (which is the part I fear runs the biggest risk of having a fatal, conceptual flaw).

Thanks for getting in touch!
Jeremy
