It's almost never necessary to actually tie a knot when anchoring a kite. All you have to do is find a roughly cylindrical object, for example a small tree branch, a pram handle or a railing of some sort. Then, put at least 5 wraps of line around the object and you should find there is no tendency to slip! Just leave the reel or winder on the ground. Friction is the key, and the kite can pull as much as it likes, for as long as it likes. If you happen to find a pole that is very slippery, another 2 or 3 wraps will do the trick. It's hard to find cylindrical objects on a beach of course, unless you happen to dig something up. A weighty rock can be handy if you can find one nearby. You can put a few turns of line around it, to hold the kite. Another approach is to bring along a stake, which can be hammered into the sand, before you wrap the line around it. Actually, using a stake is sometimes the only option when you are kite flying in a large open area. Another handy idea when kite flying at the beach is the sand anchor. This is just a bag or bags which can be filled with sand after you arrive. No winding here, you just lodge the reel under a bag that is heavy enough to do the job. A great option, since the bags weigh practically nothing and are easy to transport in your pocket or carry-bag, depending on how big they need to be. The kites in the photo below were anchored to a pier, while others were tied to vehicles parked on the sand. A must unless the kite is hardly pulling at all due to weather or the size of the kite. To be convenient, this requires 2 people. One to pull down the kite, and the other to wind on line off the ground. This way, the line goes onto the reel with very little tension, and the reel will live to fly another day! Don't try struggling to bring down a hard-pulling kite while winding onto a plastic reel loop by loop. The reel might be totally crushed by the experience! Despite trying to wind on with reduced tension. Even a small amount adds up with each loop. If a second person is not available, it's still do-able but not quite so convenient. You have to lay out line as you pull down the kite. Not in one great heap, since that is a recipe for an enormous tangle! Just lay it out in a regular pattern. Alternatively, just walk out towards the kite, pulling it down as you go. After the kite is down, walk back to the reel and wind on all the line as you approach the kite a second time. Hey, it's good exercise! The older you get, the more you need it I'm finding It's a printable PDF file. They fly hundreds of feet up for hours on end. Could you do me just a small favor though?

The oldest depiction of a kite is from a mesolithic period cave painting in Muna island , southeast Sulawesi , Indonesia , which has been dated from — years B. Materials ideal for kite building were readily available including silk fabric for sail material; fine, high-tensile-strength silk for flying line; and resilient bamboo for a strong, lightweight framework. By AD paper kites were certainly being flown, as it was recorded that in that year a paper kite was used as a message for a rescue mission. Ancient and medieval Chinese sources describe kites being used for measuring distances, testing the wind, lifting men, signaling, and communication for military operations. The earliest known Chinese kites were flat not bowed and often rectangular. Later, tailless kites incorporated a stabilizing bowline. Kites were decorated with mythological motifs and legendary figures; some were fitted with strings and whistles to make musical sounds while flying. After its introduction into India , the kite further evolved into the fighter kite , known as the patang in India, where thousands are flown every year on festivals such as Makar Sankranti. Kites were known throughout Polynesia , as far as New Zealand , with the assumption being that the knowledge diffused from China along with the people. Anthropomorphic kites made from cloth and wood were used in religious ceremonies to send prayers to the gods. Kites were late to arrive in Europe , although windsock-like banners were known and used by the Romans. Stories of kites were first brought to Europe by Marco Polo towards the end of the 13th century, and kites were brought back by sailors from Japan and Malaysia in the 16th and 17th centuries. In , Benjamin Franklin published an account of a kite experiment to prove that lightning was caused by electricity. Kites were also instrumental in the research of the Wright brothers , and others, as they developed the first airplane in the late s. Several different designs of man-lifting kites were developed. The period from to about became the European "golden age of kiting". In the 20th century, many new kite designs were developed. These included Eddy 's tailless diamond, the tetrahedral kite , the Rogallo wing , the sled kite , the parafoil , and power kites. The Rogallo wing was adapted for stunt kites and hang gliding and the parafoil was adapted for parachuting and paragliding. The rapid development of mechanically powered aircraft diminished interest in kites. World War II saw a limited use of kites for military purposes survival radio , Focke Achgelis Fa , military radio antenna kites. Kites are now mostly used for recreation. Lightweight synthetic materials ripstop nylon , plastic film , carbon fiber tube and rod are used for kite making. Synthetic rope and cord nylon , polyethylene , kevlar and dyneema are used as bridle and kite line. Designs often emulate flying insects, birds, and other beasts, both real and mythical. The finest Chinese kites are made from split bamboo usually golden bamboo , covered with silk, and hand painted. On larger kites, clever hinges and latches allow the kite to be disassembled and compactly folded for storage or transport. Cheaper mass-produced kites are often made from printed polyester rather than silk. Tails are used for some single-line kite designs to keep the kite's nose pointing into the wind. Spinners and spinsocks can be attached to the flying line for visual effect. There are rotating wind socks which spin like a turbine. Modern aerobatic kites use two or four lines to allow fine control of the kite's angle to the wind. Traction kites may have an additional line to de-power the kite and quick-release mechanisms to disengage flyer and kite in an emergency. Kites have been used for human flight, military applications, science and meteorology, photography, lifting radio antennas, generating power, aerodynamics experiments, and much more. Kites have been used for military purposes in the past, such as signaling, delivery of ammunition , and for observation , both by lifting an observer above the field of battle and by using kite aerial photography. Kites were first used in warfare by the Chinese. According to Samguk Sagi , in Kim Yu-sin , a Korean general of Silla rallied his troops to defeat rebels by using flaming kites which also scared the enemy. Russian chronicles mention Prince Oleg of Novgorod use of kites during the siege of Constantinople in "and he crafted horses and men of paper, armed and gilded, and lifted them into the air over the city; the Greeks saw them and feared them". Walter de Milemete 's De nobilitatibus, sapientiis, et prudentiis regum treatise depicts a group of knights flying kite laden with a black-powder filled firebomb over the wall of city. During the Japanese invasions of Korea — , Admiral Yi commanded his navy using kites. His kites had specific markings directing his fleet to perform various orders. In the modern era the British Army used kites to haul human lookouts into the air for observation purposes, using the kites developed by Samuel Franklin Cody. Barrage kites were used to protect shipping during the Second World War. Palestinians from the Gaza Strip have flown firebomb kites over the Israel—Gaza barrier , setting fires on the Israeli side of the border, [39] [40] [41] [42] hundreds of dunams of Israeli crop fields were burned by firebomb kites launched from Gaza, with an estimated economic loss of several millions of shekels. Kites have been used for scientific purposes, such as Benjamin Franklin 's famous experiment proving that lightning is electricity. Kites were the precursors to the traditional aircraft , and were instrumental in the development of early flying craft. Alexander Graham Bell experimented with very large man-lifting kites , as did the Wright brothers and Lawrence Hargrave. Kites had a historical role in lifting scientific instruments to measure atmospheric conditions for weather forecasting. Francis Ronalds and William Radcliffe Birt described a very stable kite at Kew Observatory as early as that was trialled for the purpose of supporting self-registering meteorological instruments at height.

  • Kap Guide BBHD
    Notes on K I T E A E R I A L P H O T O G R A P H Y I N T R O D U C T I O N This guide is prepared as an introduction to the acquisition of photography using a kite to raise the camera. It is in 3 parts: Application Equipment Procedure It is prepared with the help and guidance from the world wide KAP community who have been generous with their expertise and support. Blending a love of landscape and joy in the flight of a kite, KAP reveals rich detail and captures the human scale missed by other (higher) aerial platforms. It requires patience, ingenuity and determination in equal measure but above all a desire to capture the unique viewpoint achieved by the intersection of wind, light and time. Every flight has the potential to surprise us with views of a familiar world seen anew. Mostly this is something that is done for the love of kite flying: camera positioning is difficult and flight conditions are unpredictable. If predictable aerial imagery is required and kite flying is not your thing then other UAV methods are recommended: if you are not happy flying a kite this is not for you. If you have not flown a kite then give it a go without a camera and see how you feel about it: kite flying at its best is a curious mix of exhilaration, spiritual empathy with the environment and relaxation of mind and body brought about by concentration of the mind on a single object in the landscape.

  • Kites: the Rise and Fall of a Scientific Object
    Kites: the rise and fall of a scientific object Juan Miguel Suay David Teira Dpto. de Lógica, Historia y Filosofía de la ciencia, UNED, Spain [email protected] Nuncius. Journal of the Material and Visual History of Science, 29.2 (2014), 439-463 ABSTRACT: Between 1753 and 1914, kites were used as scientific objects in different branches of physics. First, as experimental instruments in electrical experiments. Then, still in the 1750s, we find theoretical models of the flight of kites. In the late 19th century, sophisticated technological kites were also used for aerological measurement. Finally, at the turn of the past century, kites served early aeronautical researchers as scale models of wings. In all cases, there was a rise and a fall: kites were reasonably successful in all these roles, but they could not produce interesting enough results to stand the competition of more efficient alternatives. KEY WORDS: kite, electrical kite, aerology, glider 1. Introduction: Kites as unsuccesful scientific objects According to the Dictionarium Anglo-Britannicum, in Old English the word kite referred to “a bird of prey” (of the genus Milvus). Only in the 1660s, we find it naming a toy that hovered in the air like kites did. Probably, most of us are today more familiar with the toy than with the bird. At least, in the current version of the Oxford English Dictionary, we find kite initially defined as “a toy consisting of a light frame with thin material stretched over it, flown in the wind at the end of a long string”. But, in between 1753 and 1914, the word kite discontinuously also referred to various kinds of scientific objects, all now gone.

HOBBS A Quantitative Study of Kite Performance in Natural Wind with application to Kite Anemometry Supervisor: Professor G.W. Schaefer April 1986 (Digital version: August 2005) This thesis is submitted in ful¯llment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy °c Cran¯eld University 2005. All rights reserved. No part of this publication may be reproduced without the written permission of the copyright owner. i Abstract Although kites have been around for hundreds of years and put to many uses, there has so far been no systematic study of their performance. This research attempts to ¯ll this need, and considers particularly the performance of kite anemometers. An instrumented kite tether was designed and built to study kite performance. It measures line tension, inclination and azimuth at the ground, :sampling each variable at 5 or 10 Hz. The results are transmitted as a digital code and stored by microcomputer. Accurate anemometers are used simultaneously to measure the wind local to the kite, and the results are stored parallel with the tether data. As a necessary background to the experiments and analysis, existing kite information is collated, and simple models of the kite system are presented, along with a more detailed study of the kiteline and its influence on the kite system. A representative selection of single line kites has been flown from the tether in a variety of wind conditions.

    AUSTRALIAN JOINT COPYING PROJECT LAWRENCE HARGRAVE Papers, 1866-1915 Reels M367-72 Royal Aeronautical Society 4 Hamilton Place London W1 National Library of Australia State Library of New South Wales Filmed: 1957 BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Lawrence Hargrave (1850-1915) was born in London and educated at Queen Elizabeth’s School in Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmoreland. In 1865 he sailed to Sydney to join his father, who was a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales. In 1867 he was apprenticed to the engineering workshops of the Australasian Steam Navigation Company, where he worked for five years. Between 1872 and 1877 he took part in a number of exploring expeditions to New Guinea, including the Neva expedition led by the Italian naturalist Luigi D’Albertis. He was elected a member of the Royal Society of New South Wales in 1877. From 1879 to 1883 he worked as an observer at the Sydney Observatory under H.C. Russell, the Government Astronomer. Justice Hargrave died in 1885. On account of his shrewd property investments, Lawrence Hargrave was able to give up paid employment and take on the role of a gentleman-inventor. He developed a passionate interest in the possibility of flight and his first paper on the construction of flying- machines was presented to the Royal Society of New South Wales in 1884. He constructed several types of engines and in 1889 built the compressed air engine powered by three rotating cylinders. In the 1890s his experiments led to the invention of the box kite, which he believed had greater stability and lift than monoplanes.

  • Lawrence Hargrave - Aviation Pioneer an Evaluation
    CHAPTER 4 LAWRENCE HARGRAVE - AVIATION PIONEER AN EVALUATION W. Hudson Shaw "There are epochs in the history of every great opera- tion and in the course of every undertaking to which the co-operation of sruccessive generations of men have contributed (especially such as have recorded their move- ments at various and remote periods of history), when it becomes desirable to pause for a while, and, as it were, to lake stock, to review progress made and estimate the amount of work done; not so much for complacency, as for the purpose of forming a judgment of the efficiency of the methods resorted to, to do it, and to lead its to inquire hmv they may yet be improved, if such improvements be possible, to accelerate the furtherance of the object, or to ensure the ultimate perfection of its attainment." —SIR JOHN HERSCHEL. While the twentieth century saw the first controlled, powered flight of a heavier.than-air machine, it was in the nineteenth century that the main work was done by the many individuals who progressively solved the problems confronting man in his conquest of the air. Lawrence Hargrave was one of these. We are inclined to take for granted the provision by Governments and corporations of facilities and finance for research and development; but this phenomenon is of comparatively recent growth. In the nineteenth century, facilities and finance for research were still largely the responsibility of the individual. The foundation of the Royal Society was, in itself, an expression at the realization by individuals working alone of their inadequacy.
