Starting in 1981 with patents in USA and England I continued experiments in any weather. Here I am seen with some models and in the background can be seen ice sheets moving on the rough sea in middle of winter and rain and snow.
The Broiler (chicken to be cooked) can be
made to dance with its very fat legs.

Bag kites by Mårten Bondestam
This kite is heated by sun, and continues flying when the wind is gone.
On Gärdet in Stockholm several years after the nornal kite festivals had ended.
As can be seen "The big" black continues flying when no other kites fly.
This flew rather well in spite of the
rough design. It broke loose near
Salo in a festival and was later found far away.
This became popular on the Berlin 450-year festival. It flew with lights on in
the night. It also made history on Cecilia and got gold medal in Stockholm.
This flew successfully in Malmö.
This flew in 1982 in Helsinki.
These flew long ago in Helsinki.
This flew in Cervia and the famous Japanes kiteman with a yellow steerable flatfish said "It is the craziest
kite in the world". It was steerable like a
fighter kite. In Stockholm it disturbed
the audience as it only rolled on the
ground. About ten children were trying
to catch its feet. The director of the
festival told me that I would get a medal if it could fly. So I ran with the wind and
it flew some ten minutes.
A new copy. Still going strong.
This is the prototype for my enormous 650 sqm kite. This was already like a lorry
in the sky and very stable. I still have it.
This got some medal in Stockholm.
This paintbrush has different tails every time.
The big red one in Cervia about 1992 (?). The line was fixed to the kite with
"Jesus tape", a silvery tape. In the heat the paste of the tape became soft
and the kite sailed up on a roof. The firebrigade had to come and take it down
as there were no ladder or opening to the roof. It flew in Ostrobotnia near
Vasa for the first time out on a field for wheat, just ten days earlier.
The beings from the universe are attacking.
In minus 30 degrees celcius I managed to
make them all fly. But my hands were very
frozen. And the camera worked!!!
What have you done with our DNA. An enormous bagkite with two people sitting inside.
It got its pneumatic air from the front into the beings. The air came out of their
finger tips and filled the kite. It broke loose and wandered out on the ocean.
This is my first big bag kite. It flew in an
abandoned sand digging in Ostrobotnia
about 1982.
Here it flies far away over a frozen lake.
It also flew som 500 meter up in Cervia
one evening.
Adam and Eve
are in Tokio
museum.
The wild woman. She has her mouth
betwen her legs and was flying in
Finnish TV-show to a undecent song.
