There is nothing really special about radiation itself in Hawking radiation. Is is just photons like other forms of electromagnetic radiation. It is only unique in the way it is produced at the event horizon of a black hole. It arises from the steady conversion of quantum vacuum fluctuations into pairs of particles, one of which escaping at infinity while the other is trapped inside the black hole horizon.

That there are only around 10-50 km of atmosphere is the way and that accuracy is the primary driver of losses. :)

This makes actually a lot of sense,thanks mate

Right so the conversion is 50% but the transmission over distance is a distinct loss correct? Yes, microwaves can penetrate the atmosphere, but there is still a cost.

This diagram from a 2021 study touting a 45% conversion efficiency but notes a huge drop from the transmission... 400 KW -> 10 KW over just 10 KM.

When you consider geosynchronous orbit is all the way out at 35,000 KM. This seems like a major issue. What am I missing?

The samples brought back from the Moon were stored in vessels that had rubber o-rings. The sharp lunar dust compromised the o-rings and the samples were contaminated by Earth's atmosphere so scientists were never sure if the water they were seeing in Apollo samples was due to contamination or water that was originally from the Moon.

Partly YES, I think it is a release valve of sorts the higher the output the closer the Black Hole is getting to that tipping point of becoming a galaxy, which can be any size depending on the amounts of energy contained within, as the universe is like a heartbeat where energy is always wrapping and unwrapping so it is Space that is actually expanding because space is energy and that energy is everything else unwrapping into it and then it gets rewrapped via Black Holes.

Endless Energy System A.K.A Perpetual Energy, as energy cannot be created or destroyed only changed and I also think we know or see only a small part of something that is truly endless and infinite in size however the internal workings of the Universe across the entire spectrum of it are definable and knowable and therefore understandable by any and all willing to see it as it is rather than what they would wish it to be.

with a name like "Ken_from_Barbie", I would have expected you to get the joke.

edit: it seems I was the one who didn't get the joke. (I don't tend to click on profiles for research)

Maybe that’s because its Tuesday? Probably better at the weekend

Probably easier to throw a small rock against the asteroids early on in their trajectory though :D

I feel like you are oversimplifying things. 🤔

I'm married bro. Check out my Instagram

I found this source suggesting 22 million gallons annually.

It's on the internet, so it must be true.

It's around 50% at the moment, but has no physical limit really. The advantage of microwaves (like Radar) is that they are much less impacted by clouds and weather than visible light.

The receiver stations are also simple antennas which can be manufactured much cheaper than solar PV, therefore making up only a small share of the total CAPEX. I don't have the number off the top of my head, but they can be found in the Roland Berger and Frazer Nash studies.

When I think of space lasers I think about using them to deflect asteroids. It would be kind of cool to beam them down to earth for power, but right now it's definitely not worth it. We could probably get the most bang for our buck by saving power.

True, I'd love some death beams, too! 🤣

This doesn't feel like the right place for this. But to answer your question, no.

i meant it jest. leave those old guys alone

If black holes (of any size) are local "objects" (in as much as they are in one spot, not all spots), then logically unknown energy that causes expansion in all places at the same time at the same rate (to our knowledge) cannot come from an astrological body that only exists in one place.

Plus, as u/Chadmartigan says, we actually understand Hawking radiation. Dark energy we do not understand at all.

Hit up a toy store, you are likely to find the perfect lady.
