Aerialwind power generation system and method

A method of generating power from the wind comprising the steps of:

• providing a plurality of aerial wind powered driven elements each having high force configurations and low force configurations, and a separate tow line connected to each driven element, said driven elements each having, when in a said high force configuration, an airfoil shape, an elevation angle and an azimuth angle,
• providing a revolving apparatus and means, linked to said revolving apparatus and driven thereby, for generating power, said revolving apparatus being rotatably mounted about a center and having a tow line attachment point, for each driven element, said tow line attachment points each being connected to a said tow line, said tow line attachment points being linked together, spaced from said center and spaced from each other,
• changing each driven element to a high force configuration for a selected portion of the rotation of the respective said tow line attachment point,
• changing each driven element to a low force configuration for the remainder of the rotation of the respective said tow line attachment point, and
• adjusting said elevation angle and said azimuth angle of each driven element to fly said driven element at a high speed in a selected pattern perpendicular to said tow line, when said driven element is in a high force configuration,
• whereby said driven elements, in response to the wind, rotate said revolving apparatus when in said high force configuration.
