and at a certain point, such cost isn't worth it

@ManAnimal what would have to happen for the space energy

the hyperbolic example is WELL beyond that tippping point

@ShimShamWhamBam agree you-tube seems to be publisher now more than a platform

preparing the grid isn't

If the argument is for a more robust power grid I don't see why not to build one.

well, we'd have to have a means of receivng the energy, an inductive charger

i kinda wanna try what SFO and scrump where talking about and see how all these youtube fuck ups would effect a new channel

@ManAnimal which are already built

and that energy would have to be at a level that isn't harmful to people and equipment

if its wireless.. you could build Line of Sight transmition towers that go above things

only way i can see doing that is some type of relay chain which limits the distance between relay nodes

space energy is no different than nuclear, coal, renewable

we still need the infrastructure

true, a laser is also an alternative

laser doesn't generate the energy though, it uses it

focus the energy so it can be delivered to a specific receiver

the energy would be harvested in orbit and used to power the laser

ah yes, beam it down to the receivers

the beam would then be used as the prime mover to a generator on the surface

might also need a LEO receiver to relay

definately would

sync those bad boys up and good to go

that would require energy storage capacity

for the LEO, yes

for the surface and the initial laser as well

yep

not the energy mine though

it can just let the excess back out into space

it'll always be full

could use some type of resonance circuit like in a camera

the energy is used to charge a capacity and inductor and when a threshold is reached, it is discharged

yeah

then continuely recharges, emitting a pulse each time

also backups of backups for capaciters

including ones that aren't turned on

typical shunt device

now you see why we're prevented from talking about this

it's possible and plausible

Have you guys heard of the show The good fight? The plot consist of team of lawyers literally trying to impeach Donald Trump.

thing is though that an array of inductive chargers can also be used to transmit power as well as deliver it
