LONDON Scientists have suggested that the world’s energy needs could be met 100 billion times over using a satellite to harness the solar wind and beam the energy to Earth.
- The concept for Dyson-Harrop satellite begins with a long metal wire loop pointed at the sun. This wire is charged to generate a cylindrical magnetic field that snags the electrons which in turn get funneled into a metal spherical receiver to produce a current. “This satellite is something that we can build” New Scientist quoted Harrop as saying. The study has been published in International Journal of Astrobiology.
