It’s not that this had been a “pipe dream” in a technical sense since the technological know-how to collect and beam microwave energy from space has existed for some time now. The main issue for the past several decades has been that the dangers are seen as outweighing the benefits. If the satellite is somehow bumped off course by a few degrees, rather than its powerful microwave beam being received at a receiving station and converted to usable electricity, there’s a chance it would cook areas of countryside and anyone in those areas. There is nothing new about this latest push, it’s still beaming dangerous concentrated energies down from space, and really do you think it’s safe having the ability to zap arbitrary areas of the countryside in the hands of anyone, ever? A gigawatt is a hell of a lot of energy to be throwing about.

[...] A group of Japanese companies unveiled plans to build a 1-gigawatt solar power collector in space, according to Earth2Tech. The system would beam the power back to Earth using radio waves. This sort of system has been [...]

Se habla y mucho de energías limpias y renovables, pero todas tienen problemas de rendimiento y sostenibilidad, cuando no de rentabilidad o peligrosidad. Si hay algo en común en todas ellas es, que el resultado final, conduce a la energía eléctrica.
Mi intuición me lleva a preguntarme, ¿porque darle tantas vueltas para llegar al mismo sitio?, es decir, ¿porque no coger el toro por los cuernos y dejarnos de tanta parafernalia?
Me explico, sabemos que un campo magnético produce corriente eléctrica, y también movimiento, y una corriente eléctrica un campo magnético. No estoy descubriendo nada que no se sepa hasta hoy, pero si puedo decir que lo que hoy conocemos en aplicación de los fenómenos electromagnéticos, es, por poner un ejemplo, Como creer que la tierra era plana o que el planeta era el centro del universo. Se conocen las corrientes auto inducidas (inductancia) en un solenoide o electroimán, y como consecuencia de esto, el mismo cambia de polaridad, cuestión no tenida en cuenta, pero si su efecto térmico (corrientes de Foucault) pues bien, teniendo en cuenta lo primero, y tratando de aprovechar este fenómeno, como una cualidad o ventaja que aplicada en el funcionamiento del nuevo generador que consiste en dos rotores y dos estatores estaríamos en condiciones de abrir una nueva era……..
Necesito empresa o Institución que esté interesada en ello, yo no tengo medios para sacarlo adelante.
. En la ciencia, la observación siempre triunfa sobre la teoría, no importa cuan noble de la teoría podría ser.
