Below is a typical sand anchor capable of holding a ton of pull when fully buried. A small hand water pump is rigged inline with the oscillating pull of a KiteMotor working the pump during a One Sky festival in 2008. Unlike a human, a kite pump won't tire "as long the wind shall blow".
Below is Bethany & Ed in the BioSquat shop working on a mutant bike & kite generator trailer. This was taken just before they left on Winter Bike Migration, Austin to Mexico, with a small 6V kite energy system that also charges from bike riding, a human/kite hybrid.
Below: A jumble of work-cells, parts of the KiteLab's Flying Wind-Farm in Ilwaco, WA. At right note the kite-pump, continuing clockwise a 500 watt generator w/ bike transmission, a Delco alternator flywheel work-cell, a high-speed retrieval winch from a road bike, behind, more exercise equipment under conversion to kite inputs, including air-compression cell, center-right the original 6V KiteMotor1 work-cell. At top a wall map of the Lower Columbia River & Pacific Coast, the rich but treacherous playground for kitesailing & waterkite tidal power experiments.
Below: The tiny dynamo driven by a little flipper-wing under a toy kite. Note rubberband return stroke to right, kiteline pulses from left.
Below: One of various carts & bike rigs to commute kite experiments to beach.
