Extracting Energy from Solar Winds Via Plasma Magnetic Sail to Get Near Lightspeed
by Brian Wang from NextBigFuture.com on (#67B8K)
How do we extract energy from space around a spacecraft? If there are differences in the speed of the solar wind or differences in flows of particles around a spacecraft or where a spacecraft is passing then highly efficient extraction of power can enable great capabilities. On earth, we had sailing ships millennia before turbines ...
