According to plans, a giant solar power plant in the Earth's orbit could become an endless source of electricity for homes and electric vehicles.

< p >< strng > details

< p > China plans to remove a solar power plant about 1 kilometer in diameter at a height of 32,000 kilometers above the Earth's surface. This will constantly get sunlight, which cannot be reached on the planet's surface due to changing weather conditions. Besides the intensity of sunlight in space is higher.

< P > Of course, that this electricity will be delivered to the ground, but by converting electricity to microwave radiation, which is then transmitted to a fixed antenna to the planet's surface.

~ ~ ~ < P > The developers of this power plant compare it with the dam & ldquo; three gorges & rdquo;, but not by power, but by the scale of the project (the dam was built 18 years). The Chinese claim that the energy collected in a space station will be & ldquo; equivalent to the total amount of oil that can be extracted from Earth & RDQUO;.

< p > Extremely difficult construction process required to remove all parts of the solar station in orbit, including the development of a heavy rocket for this work, means that years will pass before it starts nourishing homes and electric vehicles.
