Question: Is there a way to build radiometers in outer space that use solar light to create electricity for Earth?

( Back )

Answer #1:

All ideas of space solar power use photovoltaic panels and not radiometers. Radiometers are not efficient electricity generators.

Answer #2:

Take a trip to Iceland, everything runs on geothermic (volcanic) energy.

Water is pumped under the volcanoes and returns as steam, this makes electricity, hot water, central heating and even the roads are heated by under-road pipes to keep the ice away.

A spinning ball of any description will not work, as soon as you try to draw energy from it the ball will stop
