A photo open source Japanese research staff JAXA Center made a modest breakthrough in energy, potentially opening amazing opportunities to humanity. To scientists managed to transmit electricity through the air at a distance of fifty five meters. The Japanese are confident that these skills will allow in the future receive solar energy in space and efficiently transport her to Earth.
So far, experts have managed to transfer less than two kilowatts of energy, which is enough just to start the electric kettle. It succeeded implement thanks to the directional transmitter and microwaves. It is noted that, if you set in orbit an impressive a solar power station, you can constantly, outside depending on weather conditions on Earth, take large volumes electricity. Sorry, stretch the wire from space to the surface of the planet is not possible, therefore Wireless transmission is the only option available to us.
Such energy has been used by astronauts for a relatively long time. TO for example, the International Space Station is equipped with solar batteries that meet the needs of the crew to electricity. Previously, something like this was considered science fiction, however, now it is a reality. It is worth hoping that and wireless transmission of cosmic solar energy to the Earth, considered fiction today, in due time will also become the most commonplace.
The Japanese believe that in the near future humanity will learn receive the energy of the sun using microwave satellite transmitters that are remote from our planet on thirty six thousand kilometers. They must be equipped with extensive photoelectric panels and transmitting antennas. True, it will take such progress is at best three decades, because at this the stage of his development, man does not yet have similar technologies, and he has yet to develop them.
Scientists have found a way to collect and convert the energy of the sun into liquid fuel.
