Culture, context, technics

Horvath-kites are the first ones constructed using the proprietary synergetic X-Y-Z-configuration with the 3d-spreader.

They introduced the new genre of free windless floating and are often spotted in urban environments.

Some say that these aren't actually kites, but just kinetic flying devices for every season.

Synergetic kites and the analogies to other species of kite designs. Only very few attempts are inspired by the free flight of birds.

Our kites though, try to hover without wind. They are lighter than birds thus slower too.

On the invention of the single line zero wind kite to the emergence of the agile, radical light-wind kite "The urban ninja" and the publication of the project.

Bill Wilson talking to Thomas Horvath.

Kite fabrics, films, laminates etc. can show very different properties; carbon tubes and rods for the frame of a kite as well.

Manufacturer specs rarely correspond to the practically measured weights.
