It was the reactor shell idea that I was going for. If there were appreciable amounts of gamma radiation hitting us from the sun, I'm pretty sure we'd be dead.
I recall seeing a number as to how much energy is emitted as gamma radiation that we just can't use. I recall it being rather high as...
perhaps not at first because they are too high energy, but after multiple matter reactions it might have split enough to become several photons of a low enough energy so that they can be absorbed by the photoelectric effect when hitting a cell.
Really, it would initially seem that the...
I am aware. However I would think that if it were possible to absorb a significant amount given a thick enough cell then the energy absorbed might be worth the costs of making such a thick photoelectric cell.
Again, I don't know if it is feasible, I was more or less just asking whether it is...
I am by no means well versed in nuclear power, but from my limited exposure I have gathered that a very large portion of nuclear energy (and antimatter) is expressed in high energy gamma radiation. All forms of electromagnetic radiation are expressed as photons, correct?
Taking the concept of...
