Abstract:
1. An aerial power generation system for generation of power from the wind, comprising: a plurality of aerial wind powered driven elements, each driven element having a high force configuration and a low force configuration, each driven element including, when in said high force configuration, an airfoil shape, an elevation angle and an azimuth angle, a tow line for each driven element, each said tow line having an upper end connected to a driven element and a lower end spaced from said upper end, means for adjusting independently said elevation and azimuth angles, a revolving apparatus with a center and having a tow line attachment point for each driven element, said lower end of each said tow line being attached to a separate tow line attachment point, said tow line attachment points being linked together, spaced from said center and spaced from each other, and means, linked to said revolving apparatus and driven thereby, for generating power, whereby said means for adjusting adjusts said elevation and azimuth angles on each driven element to fly each driven element in a selected pattern at a high velocity perpendicular to said tow line, when each driven element is in said high force configuration, to increase the power generated.
