The Ammonia is a 3-D kite derived from Pierre Marzin's Eclipse kite. Pierre started designing a family of circle based kites in 2010. The Ammonia was made for Cervia Artevento 2024
The Ammonia is composed of 1 big (black) front circle (Hexadecagon) and 3 smaller circles (white) plus a circle at the back with a keel.
The circles are tensioned by fiberglass rods, then connected together with 4 mm carbon tubes/rods. Lines are hooked to specially printed fittings assuring that each circles stays in the desired plane (two planes with a dihedral angle of 50 degrees.) A half circle keel is added to the back circles for stability. The simple bridle is removable, with 2 legs to the front and back, one leg to each of the side circles.
This kite has custom fittings. Replacement fittings can be printed in the US if needed.
