And yes it would look just the way it sounds a ring of solar panels spanning around the moon.
Solar panels grown on the moon.
One japanese company shimizu already has that covered.
Like multiplying rabbits the population of solar panel satellites would grow exponentially covering the size of nevada in a few months or years.
Rgd mining will allow the development of a practical system that can be constructed on a mobile platform to enable the use of a mixture of different types of radiant energy with different penetration depths to control the release of water vapor from hard lunar permafrost in such a way that it can be trapped and captured by a water collection system.
To me that s just not feasible to power the entire world we d only need to cover an area 92 the size of nevada.
Solar panels grown on the moon could power the earth.
Putting giant solar panels on the moon or mirrors into lunar orbit would go a long way towards solving the earth s energy problems and climate crisis according to the former astronaut dr helen sharman the first briton to go into space.
Earth orbit doesn t have a whole lot of resources for building all those robots so instead we could send the self replicating machine to the moon lewis weber suggests.
Let s walk you through the details.
They want to build a so called luna ring.
Of course this idea involves building solar panels on the moon which means we would have people on the moon all the time about six months to a year per person criswell suggests to build and maintain the repair equipment and arrays.
Right now you can only get home grown panels from companies like sandbar solar electric so this seems quite novel.
The sun is a colossal source of energy a tiny fraction of which is converted these are still concepts at the moment but i believe they are.
It talks about how solar panels grown on the moon can be used to power the earth in coming years.
Lsp could theoretically even satisfy 100 percent of our energy needs.
The key to lunar based solar on earth is microwave transmission.
Of late a paper published in the new space journal has grabbed interest of many scientists researchers and even commoners.
It also means shipping manufacturing equipment up to the moon.
The construction would stretch for 11 000 km 6 800 miles along the moon s equator and would reach 400 km 250 miles in width.
A far out plan to create swarms of self replicating solar panel satellites.
