Why Magnetic Bubbles May Be Useful as Cheap Dyson Spheres For a Vast Energy Resource And May Have Use Against Global Warming and The CME Issue

There are those who believe that we might one day use the power of hurricanes instead of them  causing devastation to power our machines..

Another possibility is that our future civilization may use the power of the sun, as with the hurricane method using fans as in computer simulations that find it possible to actually collect power with wind turbines while also deflecting the storm from the shore at the same time..  National Geographic this month in an article about the search for life elsewhere says many advanced civilizations  might build a Dyson Sphere, a sphere that would collect enough power in 1 second to meet demand at our current rate for a million years.

  I was always mostly skeptical of a Dyson Sphere due to the huge cost of materials. Reduced machines have been imagined that would  i.e. be on the further side of an advanced world  and there would be mirrors on the side away from the star or suns light and it would reflect to power that super world, us, well sure hope so. Here too the cost of materials would be huge. Consider that even building an orbital elevator would be hugely larger than anything humans have ever built, costing trillions, this for essentially a mere wire to orbit.

 So I've always thought the Dyson sphere idea wouldn't mostly be of worth.

 Even so I believe magnetic bubbles, bubbles powered by magnets that act like a solar sail for spacecraft might be of value to us or advanced civilizations like us, sure hope they do! As the spacecraft with the bubble sail on sail save up, right as it gets further away from the sun it radiates out and this adds more area to propel it so it takes no extra power to move the starcraft and  higher speed even at more distance. I wrote a condensed history about Canada, if all there is is up!

  Here I want to consider using the magnetic bubbles as a Dyson Sphere. I envision using say three magnetic bubbles to start. A major problem as I say about the Dyson Sphere plan as I say has always been about materials, they would take huge amounts, more than all the planets in an advanced world's star system might have available. One reason would be because of the cost of the surface collectors. The other cost of materials would be for the large tensile strength to hold the sphere of the collectors from radiating out against the radiation pressure. I think magnetic bubbles might be a real solution. Each bubble has a  North and South pole so these will attract from a distance as a tube of the North and South connecting the band, the more radiance outward the stronger the connection for the first band of the magnetic bubbles all the way around the sun. And this would solve the problem of strength of materials. The magnetic bubbles would radiate out for a huge collector surface area for the cost and far cheaper than using something like mirrors and far cheaper to deploy than a continuous solid band of collectors. On this site "How Dyson Spheres Work" Click Here or See Link Below Nathan Chandler discusses about how lasers fizzle out power in just a few miles so I think we could use a bridge of tubes of the bubbles to connect up to the bubbles. Another problem as in the site is about centering the sun. The much smaller mass and the spin of the magnetic fields of the bubbles would stabilize it well, and much more binding energy for the cost would make it more stable and thus feasible. As on the link we could add more and more magnetic bubbles paying for the cost as we go. We could build these around the Earth in a small band or nearer than a large band around the sun as a trail method to shield from the sun first since it's been found in studies that the Earth's magnetic field has weakened about 10% in the last 150 years. 

The tensile strength of the band powered by the sun always has to be more than the energy collected.

The light would still reach us if the bubbles are much smaller than the sun. The bubbles could precess around and the light and heat would always reach us. We could dim the bubbles and shield the collector area while the small bands would connect if there were more bubbles like a sphere and we would want continuous heat and light from the sun. Even so the Dyson band would perhaps be useful to reduce global warming in the times ahead. (As I say on my videos about the Maunder Minimum when the sun cooled about 200 years ago I think global warming is mostly caused by damping of Jupiter's field changing the heat of the sun by magnetic resonance. Jupiter has a much stronger magnetic field than the sun. Thus the global change is caused mostly by changes in the sun's radiation, modified as in the sunspot cycle itself by Jupiter's complete 22 year precession of Io the super sulphur satellite that precesses above and below the ecliptic in almost the 11 year period of Jupiter yet with a complete 22 year cycle. So the weather changes may be caused generally by the sun, and modulated not caused merely by dust from our industrial  activities. So by changing the sun's output to us by Dyson Bands, we may have no problem with global warming. Click here or see my cloned link below. Note that if we change the output of heat, we can easily tune the temperature and reverse this or even use it to send more heat and light say to the arctic than the tropics. Other methods would not be reversable or nearly as cheap; we get out power for a relatively small input of our money. )

 The bubbles only mostly collect heat. Magnetic fields only bend light when thay are filled with gas, so I envision collecting part of the solar wind into the bubbles for more power in reach.

 As with the hurricane power idea, collecting power from the CME plasmas that may otherwise wreak havoc on the power grid and internet for years may be used for power for us not against us.

Some have proposed putting a band of iron around Mars because of radioactivity to shield Mars from the cosmic rays and the solar wind, a big problem for Mars colonization. A band of magnetic bubbles might be much cheaper and easier to build and it would also collect more solar power from a larger area than the surface of mars, useful to send down heat to the Mars dwellers.

Finally I want to say in the search for intelligent life elsewhere, this type of Dyson Sphere may be more common, so we might want to look for the signature of a nonoptical Dyson Sphere of this type in our search for ET. This might be cheaper to find than via light telescopes.

 I have to go now, my browser is about to go to the floppy above, I usually am ready for it to go down on Mondays so I'm aware of what it was in 2010!
