A Solar-Powered Death Ray

A Spanish companionship has build a “ Solar Power Tower ” near Seville that could easily become the humans ’s first orbital solar expiry ray . It generate electrical energy via sunlight without photovoltaic electric cell , using 624 mirror called heliostats to focus sunshine on a pass catcher at the top of the tower . The system bring forth temperature hotter than the surface of Mercury .

Abengoa Solar ’s PS10 ability plant generates 11 megawatts of clean index , render more than 5,000 menage . The heliostats mechanically swivel to follow the Lord’s Day and focus maximal sunlight on the recipient at the top of the tower . The company claim the potential to generate temperatures in the neighborhood of 1,800 level F with an efficiency 25 percent enceinte than current photovoltaic technology . Prototype towers were tested in the U.S. , but PS10 is the first commercial works . More Spanish towers are planned with greater power generating capacitance .

How severely would it be to put a mirror raiment like this into orbit ? With GPS , it would have nail accuracy , do incredible impairment and leave no unpleasant radioactivity behind . party reps swear they have absolutely no plans to involve a $ 500 million ransom money from the humanity ’s governments to keep them from incinerating urban center .
