Why isn't there documentaries about these ships and lots of yacht and transatlantic racing of kite powered vessels? This was years ago and it's hard to find anything independent on it..

A jib sail would help with crosswinds

A mast right on the bow and a bowsprit? The bowsprit might cause problems with quay access, but could probably fold upward.

I can't belive this is real. Theres no way that little parachute can provide energy for a ship that big

oh they do. you don't know the power of a kite until you've held one in your hands. not a toy kite a real kitsurfing one. those things are crazy you can go at speeds up to 110 kmph and get up to 114 feet of air jumping with them. they have so much force if you fuck up you can shatter the bones in your body when you hit the water. and that's for small kites meant to pull a single person these are much much bigger

Well done guys you invented the sail boat

Pretty sure the sailors back in the day didn’t have the technology to do what they are doing here. This is sail boat on steroids. This weighs probably more than double of sail boats of the past. Very different

this isn't stone age tech. this stuff is insanely powerful you can only really understand it when you hold a kiteboarding kite in your hands in 30 knots of wind and do your first power dive

How do you steer such a kite? Only one line attached. For efficient kitesurfing you need at least 4 lines

I wonder could this kite sail be combinated with rotor sail, in order to save even more fuel? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e8CfeMJzsM_eqH0.html

Fake. 20% of the drag comes from that kite? It seems as if the HUGE ship dose not even notice of the fact that this toy kite is even attached to it
@Bvic37 жыл бұрын
XmanSully This isn't fake at all. There are plenty of videos on KZfaq and plenty of academic research on Kites for wind power, both sailing and electricity production. An average of 20% of the ship engine power is a common figure.

exactly, total fake. 20% more like 0.02% if any

20% of 100,000hp is a lot of horsepower for a simple sail. if your too stupid to figure that out then fine. hahaha

This is not a simple sail though. Simple sail operates at the ground level (much lower wind velocities), and are usually operated far from efficient way (with most traditional sails setups). This sail is working at 200-300 m above the ocean, where due to less friction and no terrain obstacles winds get much faster, 150km/h is nothing unusual. Now if instead of just "knowing better" you would actually check facts and do the math you would realize that 320 square meters sail with ~41m/s wind assuming air density of 1.2kg/m^3 will actualy give you around 340kN of force to work with (for comparison- RS-25, a main engine of space shuttle program was rated for 1,860 kN thrust- and that shit lifts heavy metal objects into low earth orbit so you know- it has some juice mkay?). Of course tankers are quite bigger and heavier than space shuttles, but in this case we don't really need to actually shoot them into the sky and beat the gravitational acceleration while at it so it should be all ok for providing additional power.

Because the total true cost of using fossil fuels is not being taken into account (e.g. we get to dump the waste into the atmosphere for free) it will delay the deployment of innovative technologies such as this. If we had a true carbon fee/dividend system in place every cargo ship in the world would be clambering to add this sail. Even saving 10% of the fuel costs (and creating 10% less CO2) would be a huge gain for humanity.
