WHAT: i want to make a kite, that spins in the wind. And i want to hook that up to a lightweight brushless dc motor, and charge some caps! Bam! stored energy by nature. i need to somehow make this stored energy in a user-friendly useful way.
OBJECTIVE: make a kite that spins, hook it up to relatively rigid wire/cabling, hook THAT up to a motor, and capture it's back emf to charge batteries/capacitors. no real power goals here - just want to see how much i could feasibly get.
HOW: hmm. i have a stash of tent nylon ripstop. i also have access to spools of ABS wire (it's from an FDM printer - dont ask). thatll be the two primary ingredients. and i have a range of dc motors. that should be enough to start.
APPLICATION: wind! maybe enough to tune in and run a radio outside on a windy day. maybe can be staked to the ground at a campsite, or strung to trees. whenever you need some power.
