Power generation with EnerKíte
Cyclic generator operation
During the harvesting phase, the wing follows a figure-eight path in the wind, which produces large forces that pull cables attached to drums in the base station. A generator converts the rotation of the drums into electricity (G). As soon as the wing reaches the cable's end, it glides back to the initial height. The cabels are rewound with minimal energy input, and the cycle repeats again.
