The Sunlight Exchange
(Related brief: Radio)
Our Spaceship Earth is spinning around itself while it circles the Sun. This means that one side is being exposed to light and energy from the Sun while the other is dark and energy is being consumed to brighten up the night.
Recent improvements in solar cell technology suggest that it would be possible to design devices which actually generate power from the sunlight rather then either being a consumer or off.
The Sunlight Exchange proposes a network of light-emitting devices which, employing methods not unlike Nikola Tesla’s vision of wireless energy transmission, power each other over great distances and thus effectively send sunlight from one side of the planet to the other.
