MY POSTS ARE REAL RETARDED, SIR

Palace of Hate posted:

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"

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
