SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the concept of a Giant Solar Laser designed to harness solar energy by utilizing the plasma surrounding the Sun as an optically active medium. The proposed method involves firing a laser pulse from a satellite, which would be amplified as it passes through the solar atmosphere. The initiator, Ruslan Sharipov, seeks collaboration from solar and stellar astronomers to identify optimal regions of the solar atmosphere and determine the appropriate frequency for the initial laser pulse.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of solar plasma dynamics
  • Familiarity with laser physics and stimulated emission
  • Knowledge of satellite technology and its applications
  • Basic principles of solar energy harnessing
NEXT STEPS
  • Research solar plasma properties and their interaction with laser light
  • Investigate existing laser technologies suitable for space applications
  • Explore methods for predicting solar atmospheric conditions
  • Contact NASA or relevant space agencies for potential collaboration
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in astrophysics, aerospace engineers, and renewable energy specialists interested in innovative solar energy solutions.

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?
