In 1967 in my elementary school art class I drew a solar power station that would beam down electricity to the earth. It would be part of a series of power stations that were positioned between the orbit of Mercury and Earth that would relay energy back to the one above the earth. I thought back then that scientists were already working on the idea. But what would an 11 year-old know?

Today, solar power stations will be much more advanced than the ones I designed over 40 years ago. They will be much more powerful and sometimes not use solar cells to generate all the electricity bemed down to earth in either the form of microwaves or via charged particle carrier beam generated by an injection reactor that will ionize the air to reduce energy loss.

One such different system will be giant induction coils that will use the charged particles in the solar winds to generate usable electricity. As the charged particles pass through the coils, they should be able to produce current like an electromagnet passing by induction wires. Instead of letting the solar winds pass over the fields surrounding our planet unused, use them to generate power.

The solar arrays will not be flat. The sunlight will either be reflected by a series of mirrors through solar stacks or it will be concentrated by lenses into beams that will stimulate a gas in illumination tubes to produce light that will shine on hexagonal solar cell panel arrays. Mirrors will be used to reflect more light upon the cells. If the tubes are impractical, then go with the series of mirrors in the stacks in the giant assembly.

My injection reactor, if it can be constructed, will be used to create a carrier beam that will ionize the air molecules in the atmosphere to prevent the electricity from being grounded that is beamed through the middle of the charged particle beam tunnel.

The heat of the sun might be used to produce steam in a pressurized gas system. The light and heat of the sun would produce the steam while the gas would condense in the dark. It may not be totally dark to prevent freezing the gas solid.

Another way to use the sun to generate energy is to use the charged particles that hit the Van Allen Belts to manipulate the fields in such a way that they can be tapped for power. It could be that electromagnetic energy tunnels will be formed to allow the solar particles to be beamed down to earth and converted into electrical current. If the particles and the fields in the belt can be used, we may have a source
