Claim 0:
1. An aerial tether system comprising:
a terrestrial station providing connection to a ground plane;
an aerial station providing self-supported flight including a supported capacitor plate structure providing a capacitively coupled path to the ground plane;
an electrical load positioned on one of the aerial station and terrestrial station;
an alternating current electrical power source positioned on another of the aerial station and terrestrial station different from the location of the electrical load; and
a tether physically connecting the aerial station and terrestrial station and providing a conductor communicating therebetween;
wherein the ground plane, capacitor plate structure, conductor, electrical load, and alternating current electrical power source are interconnected to provide a continuous electrical circuit between the electrical load and electrical power source using the conductor and the capacitively coupled path.
