Abstract: This paper solves the inverse dynamics of a tethered kite analytically. Specifically, the paper presents a procedure for determining the angle of attack, induced roll angle, and tether tension magnitude needed to achieve ...

Abstract: It is reported here a large improvement in numerically calculated TEM00-mode side-pumped solar laser efficiency, and brightness figure-of-merit by pumping two thin Nd:YAG laser rods simultaneously with a ring-array solar ...
