Krackhardt introduced the graph in 1990 to distinguish different concepts of centrality. It has the property that the vertex with maximum degree (labeled 3 in the figure, with degree 6), the vertex with maximum betweenness centrality (labeled 7), and the two vertices with maximum closeness centrality (labeled 5 and 6) are all different from ...
This simple levelling method involves suspending the camera from a rigid length of material below the kite line. Gravity naturally keeps the rig level, irrespective of the angle of the kite line. The pendulum will oscillate due to movement from the kite line and wind pressure, but the camera will remain steadier and more level than without a ...
The red item on the long kite line is a line parachute that will soften the fall of the released kite line. After release, the human will hang from a short hang line only to tug the kite hang glider wing; he then moves the triangle control frame to control the attitudes of the kite's wing. The fall of the pilot's mass provides the tension to ...
The lift generated by the kite and other flying characteristics are affected by the kite's angle of attack, which is set by the bridle; the arrangement of lines which terminate the main kite lines and attach to a number of points across the kite's surface. Power kites having 4 or 5 lines come in two variants, fixed bridle and depowerable.
Sport kites using kite line sets of two or three or four lines at a time have a need for very low stretch in the lines. Single-line recreation kite lines may do well with stretchy kite lines. Kite-fighting kites' main tether lines have sharp glass particles bonded to the line. Kite lines misused or abused can cause injury to persons and property.
Kite fighting has caused horrific injuries and even deaths, and a bill moving through Brazil's Congress is seeking to prohibit the manufacture, sale and use of the razor-sharp lines nationwide ...
