My *IDEA* of a bubble maker on a kite looks like this. Note that 
I haven't tried it yet. I assume that the viscosity(sp?) of the
water will keep the speed down on the rotors.

The tank must be suspended in such way that it's aimed in the direction
of the wind. A way to do this is to it the way cameras are  suspended.

Ahhh... I couldn't resist making all those bubbles ;-)
