The wind keeps the kite at altitude.
The wind turbine is suspended to
the kite. The blades drive the
toothed belt then the rope belt. The
rope belt makes a loop between the
wind turbine and the generator. It
transmits the rotational movement
to the generator which supplies
electricity to the electrical box.
The rope belt is tight and holds the
kite. If, however, the rope belt
breaks (wear), the safety line will
hold the kite and the wind turbine.
The generator reel can be used to
rewind the rope belt manually
(manual crank) or automatically
(thanks to the electrical box).
