Abstract

most people associate wind power only with conventional wind turbines, but research has led to a yet new source of renewable energy, kite power. Kite power has the potential to be more economical than using wind turbines because kites can fly higher than turbines can operate. At higher attitudes, wind speeds and available power are increased. In order to bring this new concept to a higher state of public awareness, a kite power demonstrator was considered ideal. The work here will include a way of adopting two kites to harness power by alternately changing their angle of attack. The kite angle of attack will be changed in such a way that the force in one of the kite will be higher which pull the power line to its side rotating the turbine. Then the angle of attack will be reversed so it gives a churning effect. Reducing friction proved to be a challenging task. Using of bearing V pulleys is of great advantage to reduce friction.
