Abstract: A kite employing a controllable transmission between two specialized types of rotor assemblies. The torque rotor assembly, is designed to rotate when placed in a stream of wind, collecting power from the wind in the form of lift and torque. The lift rotor assembly, transfers torque energy from the torque rotor into lift, through the system of power transfer. Torque energy from the torque rotor assembly is used to power the control system for the transmission, the control system for a remote mechanism to steer the kite, and power for other devices and remote functions. This invention is dedicated to harnessing and utilizing wind power, both torque and lift, by providing a metered and therefore controllable amount of lift through the variability of the transmission, in a vector along the kite line. The usefulness of this vector of lift is enhanced because, it can be altered through the steering system while retaining the reeling ease of a single string, and can provide power for remote functions.
