Howdy Steve

Good idea.

Well now that would be a useful thing to do. We were after Cladking for 10+ years to diagram, simulate or otherwise show how his idea would work, especially the part of using a kite to lift a multi-ton 'boat' that was used in his geyser funicular.

Cladking use to scream all the time: "Only evidence, logic, experience, and experiment can lead to true knowledge. Everything else is a belief".

But he always refused to do the experiments dealing with the funicular idea. He did do some experiments got negative answers so stopped doing them and refuses to this day to acknowledge that he even suggested them.

Let us know if you have any success!
