Kite sailing, английский
In this form of propulsion a kite sail provides power for a vessel. the basic principles of kite sailing are the same as those of traditional sailing, except that a kite is used to harness the wind instead of a fixed sail. the advantages include being able to access wind that is free of surface turbulence, and the ability to create “apparent” wind through the movement of the kite—fixed sails move in unison with the craft they are propelling, while a kite can move relative to the vessel, thus creating more apparent wind than a traditional fixed sail, and being capable of sailing any course, including up wind. a hamburg-based company has developed a kite sail propulsion system that can be retrofitted to large ships, enabling mariners to re-harness the enormous energy potential of the wind. the minimal operating costs of wind-powered systems make shipping more profitable and more independent of declining oil reserves. the motive force that powered ocean voyages for millennia may yet enjoy a revival.
