Various examples are provided related to kite energy generation. In one example, a method for kite-based energy generation includes deploying a kite in a flow of fluid; controlling movement of the kite along a continuous pattern across the flow, where the kite applies tension greater than a threshold during at least a first portion of the pattern and applies tension less than the threshold during at least a second portion of the pattern; and generating power during the first portion of the continuous pattern. In another example, a system includes a kite including control surfaces that control movement of the kite along a continuous pattern across the flow of fluid; a winch connected to the kite by a tether, and a generator of the winch that can generate power during a portion of the pattern; and a spool controller that can control spooling of the tether during the pattern.

The present invention relates to an electric power generating system for vehicles. The system includes at least one wind turbine positioned to capture incoming air which is coupled to a wind generator for converting into electric power. The system has solar panels installed on the exterior surface of the vehicle such as trailer of a semi-truck for absorbing solar energy and converting into electric power. The electric power produced by the wind generator and the solar panels is stored in a battery pack for providing electric power to the electric battery of the vehicle. An emergency generator provides electric power to the vehicle when the power of both the electric battery and the battery pack is insufficient. The system slows down the depletion of battery charge, thus enabling the vehicle to stay on the road for a longer duration and improves overall charging experiences for the electric vehicle.
