minus-squaredom@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up6·2 years agoPeople think the cost of the panel is the most expensive, but it’s actually the 151 million km copper cable
minus-squareFZDC@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up5·2 years agoWhy can’t we just wirelessly transmit the power, maybe have it hit a collection device that can harness about 4 kwh/m^2/day
minus-squaredom@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up5·edit-22 years agoHey that’s not a bad idea. We could install these receivers on people’s roofs or in big parking lots
minus-squarejarfil@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up2·2 years agoCopper wouldn’t cut it, too much resistance. You need a superconductor… only problem is how to keep it cold enough at below 1000C.
