downlift

English to French Other Aerospace / Aviation / Space
So on the one hand you have the wings.

On the other hand you have the circular structure,

which is mounted onto the generator and as a start

the generator function is inverted to a motor.

So that the cycling starts.

The lift is created.

Once it reached the operating altitude the motor function

will invert into the generator function when sufficient wind

speed is there and that converts the wind energy into

electricity and bring it down through the cable.

It really looks like science fiction to me.

Beautiful but science fiction.

Well, it is science fiction but it works

and it is really my vision to bring it down

to earth so that humankind will benefit from it.

To reach jet stream altitudes

Michael wants to link these airborne

generators into a chain one on top of the other.

It sounds unbelievable but the test results

from a model in a wind tunnel are promising because

the underlying physics of the concept is simple.

Well, each wing can be controlled

by it's singular servo motor.

So in the configuration that you will see

now we will create downwards lift on the back side.

So the system will have a negative angle of attack and in

the front side you will have a positive angle of attack.

And this will create the lift and this will create the downlift.
