## Description

This MCP server provides engineering tools to calculate how bar movement impacts kite performance. Use `simulate_full_depower_cycle` to get a complete mechanical profile, or individual tools like `calculate_aoa_change` and `estimate_power_reduction` to analyze specific variables like angle of attack and lift loss. It accounts for bridle geometry and pulley friction to provide accurate physical simulations for kiteboarding design.

## Tools

### calculate_aoa_change
Determines how much the kite's angle of attack changes based on the rider's physical movement

### calculate_bar_pressure
Estimates the physical effort required by the rider to pull the bar

### estimate_power_reduction
Predicts the percentage of lift lost as the kite is depowered

### simulate_full_depower_cycle
Provides a comprehensive summary of the mechanical transformation from a specific bar pull

## Prompt Examples

**Prompt:** 
```
Calculate the full depower cycle for a 10cm bar throw with a 20m line, 0.5 bridle factor, FOIL kite, and 0.1 pulley friction.
```

**Response:** 
```
The depower cycle results in an angle of attack change of 0.25 degrees, a power reduction of 5%, and a bar pressure of 12.5 Newtons.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
How much power is lost if the angle of attack changes by 2 degrees on a LEI kite?
```

**Response:** 
```
The power reduction for a LEI kite with a 2 degree angle of attack change is 15%.
```

**Prompt:** 
```
What is the angle of attack change for a 5cm bar throw with a 15m line and 0.8 bridle factor?
```

**Response:** 
```
The angle of attack change is 0.27 degrees.
```

## Frequently Asked Questions

**How do I calculate the total impact of a bar pull?**
You can use the `simulate_full_depower_cycle` tool to receive a complete summary including angle of attack change, power reduction, and bar pressure in one call.

**Does the tool account for different kite types?**
Yes, the `estimate_power_reduction` tool uses the kite type (FOIL, LEI, or HYBRID) to determine how lift is lost.

**Can I simulate the resistance felt in the bar?**
Yes, use `calculate_bar_pressure` and provide a pulley friction coefficient to estimate the physical effort required.
