FLYNY2010 - Möbius Kite
The Möbius Kite utilizes the properties of the Möbius Strip, the torsional, single-sided shape which produces a natural airfoil. When introduced to the wind, the Möbius Kite rotates along its axis, creating lift and a remarkably stable, relatively stationary flight.
The Möbius
Kite can be constructed largely of recycled elements (e.g. coat hanger
wire, paper, the smooth surface of juice cartons, aluminum from soda
cans) and can be built at different scales.
Given its characteristics of stability and scalability, it can have uses
ranging beyond recreation to social and environmental applications.
For instance, the stationary Möbius
Kite can function as a beacon seen from afar in emergency situations or
as a tool to communicate necessary information by hanging a banner or
other signage from it.
Meanwhile, a large-scale Möbius
Kite could potentially generate energy from the wind through its
spinning form. Imagine a "wind farm" of elegant, inexpensive, easily
assembled and launched Möbius Kites delivering clean energy.
