So what are you here for? Go watch it.

It's difficult to express how dumb it is when someone goes to somewhere with a million pages of information, finds something that doesn't interest them and makes a comment to this effect. Your incompetence at finding information of interest to you is something to be ashamed of, not advertised.

By the way I delete those comments after reading your post. This was a few days ago.

ok. Thanks.

We could learn to nature how the wind could lift up the feather or pollen.

The craft's mass per volume should be so small as presented by feather or pollen or a kite. It might not reach the higher altitude but enough to deliver the passenger throughout the greater distance. 

The craft as big as a medium aeroplane would be sufficient to take off using the surrounding wind.

Lets say this craft consist of hundreds of small moveable kites. When it stay on the ground the all kites will shut off. When it will take off all the kites would be set horizontally. So,the win would lift it up.

Using graphene as the kites membrane in the towering wings would certainly reduce the mass per volume ratio. Assuming graphene is  pretty strong to hold the wind pressure. 

The wings frame also made of the light metal / light material.

I got some answers from s23bog:

s23bog says the following:

 

"I read a comment by Elroch  that started with "It'll never take off."

 
I'd like to point out that I have actually seen it fly.  I would compare it to a balloon being blown around in the wind, but the particular shape (roughly raindrop shaped ... which is to say that the form can adapt to differences in air pressure around the surface) has different flight properties than a balloon.  Make it a bit bigger, and it will carry a considerable amount of weight.
 
For my trip to Antarctica, I would like to make it with rods that are twice the size as those used for the prototype.  That would mean an over 50 fold increase in surface area.  If you make a sail 50 times larger, it will provide significantly more drive for a ship.  If the body of the ship serves as the sail .....
 
Well, you get the idea ...
 
In addition to increasing the surface are by over 50 times, the volume would be increased by a factor of about 33.51 times."

From now on I will write in bold s23bog answers:

 

I'd like to try it on the beach.  But, I think it'd be a good idea to have some kind of safety line so I might have a way back.

In order to get to Antarctica .... I would think like going to the eye of a cyclone.  I think this chart represents air pressure:

 


This gets me thinking about how to travel from an area with high pressure to an area with low pressure.

Nice pictures, by the way

I don't know how the last picture is related. I posted it just in case.

I have searched and I found the following:

"The True Principles of All Things, an illustration by Dionysius Andreas Freher for the first English edition of the works of Jakob Böhme, 1764"

The long rope tied on the craft could safe you to pull you back into the beach.

While I am aware that many inventors' visions have wound up being duds, I don't think it is advisable to underestimate what this contraption might do.  It might just be a big kite, like you suggest, but I would prefer to try to fly it untethered, and see if I can control it.  It would be similar to flying a hang glider, but instead of steering to the left or to the right, one might be able to steer a full 360° + 360°.
 
If you are at the center of a drop of water, and you can manipulate the shape from within, or change its orientation by shifting your own weight, then you might be able to genuinely fly.  The air inside can be heated a number of ways.  The simplest way is to focus the light from outside, to the center.  I think that, when covered with some sort of plastic, it very well might be enough to get an early prototype off the ground.  Once the wind takes it out on the ocean, you are pretty much screwed without air and sea support.  A helicopter, along with a tracking device on the craft, would probably suffice.
 
There are obvious reasons that direct solar energy to heat the air inside is very limited.  Improvements will be needed.
