A Giant Solar Windmill, Airships Are Up!

The search was on for a way to send data on the field around power wires and about 5 years ago (as in Popular Science) a solution was found to reach all computers via the field around power wires to reach each house would use just a 10 watt laser for connection to all the people in the US via broadband. Innovator Beth S says because the fields are large around the wires, perhaps some way to absorb the summer heat by way of the broad field might be a good way to add more power to the grid, or boost the power there without loss of power for distance, a sort of giant cheap collector that's already mostly ready for 2079. Ways are used to convert the inflow of heat to currents flowing with the wires and then the current generates power by usual methods.

Others look to magnetic bubbles, giant loops of field that may be set on two generators above the Earth. The loops would be like a giant turbine that would move by power of the solar flow outward of particles. To make the machines not drift further out with time, part of the power would be used to sail upstream, even with the fraction used for this to hold 'er steady, this may be larger solar power overall than any other machine because of the giant size of the machine at much higher value/money spent to build it.. The field expands and takes up more room to be a giant sail without the price being so high. To power the generators part of the power flow of heat also could be of value. The energised magnetic field flows into one pole and as it moves past the wire generates power, a simple electric motor, with the extra power beamed to nearby collectors. To not have to continually sail upstream, two asteroids that are of constant distance from each other might be of value. Another possibility may be to stretch the field away from the solar heat or send the giant loops towards the solar flux and then use the field compression to power machines nearer the earth. It's believed magnetic loops may make solar airplanes and other machines more viable by using a much larger solar collecter per dollar and per unit of weight of the plane.
My mom is living in Europe to author more books. She has a European cat named Frantichec, How do we know this is a cat with high culture? Simple, we know this because when he sez hi to others he rolls purrs with an R!
