Frykte posted:Nice big intelligent looking graph Palace of Hate, mind telling us plebeians what exactly it means?? it means it won't work for the same reason your satellite tv goes out when it's raining. also the same reason that your food gets hot when you microwave it. basically you would just be microwaving the atmosphere with somewhere between 100-10000x of the power you recover at the ground "power station"

ANIME AKBAR posted:Pretty sure this is the graph you're looking for: Job Truniht posted:I'm no physicist, but those drops correspond to the absorption spectrum of oxygen/nitrogen- and microwaves operate at 1 to 30 GHz, not THz pretty sure .01 terahertz is 10 gigahertz

My Imaginary GF posted:Sounds like a great way to experiment with terraforming. What I'm picturing are platforms dotting the Indian ocean, to turn the Nejd wet and restore the cedars of lebanon. if you accelerate the incoming microwaves with a turboencabulator you could probably produce anywhere from 69 to 420 grams per microwave squared per fortnight

we could just build like 100 nuclear power plants instead of this stupid rear end bullshit

Frykte posted:Read the entire thread before replying please. It won't hurt the atmosphere because it's either going through a tube for the length of the atmosphere, or a metal rod will make a path for the microwaves. the dankest coaxial cable ever to be conceived

Frykte posted:There's already a gigantic source of nuclear energy in space called The Sun. We can spend money creating more nuclear power plants or we can spend money grabbing all the free energy from the sun. theres too many magnetic field lines, air molecules, and delta velocities between us and that idiot

its actually space illegal to have weapons of mass destruction in orbit
