A HEAT FUNNEL
..
They have these solar panel briefcases that cost 600$ you can take to the park for 5 hours of charge to power your laptop for 2. As you who are savvy to the ways of subatomic physics may know, Cosmic Rays from the stars are much higher energy than anything even the largest particle smasher can boost up. These high energy rays from the cosmos (where do they think these names up?!) only hit the atmosphere about once in a half hour. A good motif to make giant collectors cheap that's been devised is to use a cone shaped electromagnetic field, that would funnel the radiation to a collector, this would be useful for the laptop battery with the solar collector, and if used to collect many more cosmic rays over a wider area, they might be seen more frequently (the main frame of the cosmos has good eyesight!) Most collectors in use are real small compared to a cone half the size of the earth, so more cosmic rays per unit time would be collected. And it would be useful like to make a streetlight that's solar powered and no land would be needed to put the fields of collectors on that it takes to power solar powered streetlights now. And by way of it's large collection power per weight it would be of worth for solar powered airplanes. The power to cause the funnel's field would be from the heat also.
