ADVANCED ENERGY RESEARCH

The purpose of this conversation is to Challenge Imaginations to propose truly out of the box solutions in the interest of infinite energy resources.Resources, which balance naturally with the universe while at the same time challenging them. We do not wish to participate in the exploration of resources in the next century, we wish to lead it, and the one after...

No matter how far out, throw it out there. Space ships were just far out IDEAS at one time.

"I must admit I am not very informed about fusion power, although I am fascinated by it.
I ask about solar power in hurricane eyes because I know the light beams contained within them are well defined and visible with the naked eye as they are in tornados. Remember that movie TWISTER? At the end the two storm chasers are strapped to pipes as the eye passes over, there is a camera shot that shows the inner walls of the tornado and it shows a blurry distorted chaotic eye wall twisting upward...The inside of a tornado wall does not look or act like that. It is crystal clear and the light beams and chaos are clearly defined.
Here is another thought process to challenge your imaginations...

There is a great deal of information on the potential use of a black hole as a source of energy. (Of course, it should be mentioned that one must first acquire a black hole! At least in the case of the Sun, we already have the Sun!) An excellent source of information on black holes, written for the layperson, is Kip Thorne's excellent book: Black Holes and Time Warps. I suggest you consult it for "all the information [I] could possibly give" you.
In brief, a rotating black hole can store a huge amount of energy in its rotation. This energy is actually accessible since the rotation is imposed on the space outside the hole. In principle, therefore, energy can be extracted from the rotation of the black hole. Exactly what mechanism is used is a potentially complicated story.

We want to shoot a laser light beam (not necessarily straight) into the heavens. The goal of this Laser Light Beam is to locate another light beam from another energy source and piggy back to the next light beam, each following the path of least resistance until finally reaching it’s destination, the energy stored from the rotation of a black hole. Once tapped into this energy source, the energy “theoretically” will travel back through these interconnecting light beams to earth or wherever needed. Similar to what we know as fiber optic cables.
Light Beams can transport energy and for all practical purposes information. However we do not know enough about light beams to totally understand the infinite transmitting and storage properties of all the different light variations available throughout our universe. Maybe this is because there is so much light, we tend to take it for granted. Each light beam is unique based on its point of origin as well as elements or other light beams it passes through while illuminating space on its journey. Yet as witnessed in a bolt of lightning, it will travel faster and follow a path of least resistance…always. We need to identify this path, which is constantly changing and never repeats itself.
Developing a laser/telescope/magnifying glass, which has the capabilities of an eye/laser/fiber optic cable, not necessarily a human eye.
For the sake of better understanding, we will use the human eye as an example. The human eye is a circle of light receiving sections (flower of life), as light passes through the human eye; the brain deciphers this information into three dimensions. If we were to block out all but a few of the light receiving sections of an eye we would see something much different than what we would if we view something utilizing the entire eye. Knowing this and knowing the limits of the conscience human mind we must find a way to hook each individual section of the eye into a super computer, magnifying its individual perception while improving the overall sight of the whole, possibly identifying another dimension.
At the same time this eye has to be able to transmit for the purpose of making the connection and gathering the information/energy contained in these light beams.
If we could siphon this energy simply for the purpose of all our light needs, we would greatly decrease the demand for energy sources which produce the energy we now need to power light in all it's forms. It would stand to reason this technology could be used in space travel as well, eliminating the need for large energy storing ships or traveling where energy sources are readily available. Think of fiber optic toys and home decor we now have, as the light changes colors, the tips of the fibers change as well.
Turning on lights will become a simple matter of completing the connection of "fiber optic" light beams between the closest quasar and us. The mechanics of the device would probably be a few million light years away from the source..."
