In summary, Ruslan Sharipov is seeking a group of specialists to help create a Giant Solar Laser, which would use plasma surrounding the Sun to initiate a stimulated emission from the solar atmosphere. This new thread was started in the astronomy section as a different approach from the previous thread in the "High Energy, Nuclear, Particle Physics" section. The initial thread was closed and Sharipov hopes to stimulate research and potentially contact NASA for help.

It is known that the Sun is a super large source of energy. Only an extremely small part of solar energy is absorbed by Eath and an extremely small part of that absorbed energy is utilized by mankind. The idea is to invent a tool for pumping the energy directly from the Sun staying distant from it. I think a Giant Solar Laser could be such a tool. Indeed, one need to use the plasma surrounding the Sun as an optically active medium and initiate a stimulated emission from the solar atmosphere. E.g. one can shot a laser pulse from a satellite expecting that it will be amplified when passing through the near-solar plasma. I would like to find a group of specialists (solar and stellar astronomers) who can predict which regions of the solar atmosphere should be used and what should be the frequency of the initial laser pulse.

Why are you starting this thread again?

For many reasons.
1. This is a new thread in another section. The initial one was in "High Energy, Nuclear, Particle Physics", not in astronomy section.
2. Here I present a little bit different way for initiating the laser emission, by means of a small laser acting as a starter.
3. Because the initial thread is closed.
4. Because the initial thread did not reached its goal. I would like to stimulate some research activity within the project.
5. Also, I need a help to contact NASA. Dear CesiumFrog, maybe you can help me?

You were advised in the other thread to post your idea in the IR forum. You are not entitled to reopen the discussion here.
 

FAQ: Giant Solar Laser: Harnessing Energy from the Sun

How does the Giant Solar Laser work?

The Giant Solar Laser works by using mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto a small area, creating an intense beam of light. This beam of light can then be used to heat up water or other substances, producing steam that can power turbines and generate electricity.

What makes the Giant Solar Laser different from other solar energy technologies?

The Giant Solar Laser is unique because it uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight into a powerful beam, rather than relying on traditional solar panels. This allows for a more efficient use of sunlight and can generate more electricity per square meter of land.

How much energy can the Giant Solar Laser produce?

The amount of energy produced by the Giant Solar Laser depends on several factors, including the size of the mirrors, the intensity of the sunlight, and the efficiency of the turbines. However, it has the potential to produce large amounts of energy, making it a promising renewable energy technology.

Is the Giant Solar Laser environmentally friendly?

Yes, the Giant Solar Laser harnesses energy from the sun, which is a renewable and clean source of energy. It does not produce any greenhouse gas emissions or pollution, making it an environmentally friendly alternative to fossil fuels.

What are the limitations of the Giant Solar Laser?

One limitation of the Giant Solar Laser is that it requires direct sunlight to function, so it may not be as effective in areas with frequent cloud cover. It also requires a large amount of land for the mirrors to be installed, which may not be feasible in densely populated areas.
