A kite based electricity generation system uses a kite that is tethered to a permanent magnet. The permanent magnet is slidably disposed within a housing with an electric coil disposed therein, such that sliding of the magnet within the housing slides the magnet within the coil and generates electricity. As the kite is subject to a wind load, the kite pulls the magnet through the coil toward a top of the housing. When the wind load decreases, a spring biases the magnet in a reverse direction, each time the magnet sliding within the coil and generating electricity. The housing pivots with respect to a base to which the housing is attached and may also rotate with respect to the base, such pivoting and rotation may generate additional electricity.
