This video outlines the basics of the PowerSat space solar power satellite system. In the upper left corner of the video, a picture of Earth shows 12 hours of time, and the power received by a PowerSat receiving station, versus a similar sized solar array on the ground. Learn more at www.PowerSat.com. PowerSat Corporation is a pioneer in generating safe, clean, reliable energy from space. Solar energy is captured via satellites (known as powersats) and transmitted wirelessly to receiving stations at various points around the globe. Thousands of megawatts can be harnessed and shifted between receiving stations thousands of miles from each other—all in a matter of seconds. PowerSat seeks to leverage the gigawatts of untapped solar energy through a vision of legitimate energy independence and a truly clean energy portfolio.

Heard about you guys in a video call “Our Technical Reality”. Are you guys familiar with The Venus Project or The Zeitgeist Movement?
@wmaness – is your company hiring? I would love to be a part of something that could change the world and lead us into a positive direction.
LOL at this video.
oh i should probably clarify i mean $300trillion dollars over the whole fourty years… not per year that would be insane.
although the way the dollar is going who knows?
No worries. Thanks for the rating.
the world spends about $3 trillion dollars a year on electricity at the minute, that will grow to over $4trillion by 2012… and unless we can keep the rest of the third world poor forever is likey to double or treble in cost over time even before you factor in inflation. in real terms due to scarcity of resources we will be looking at even more expensive energy alternatives soon, and over the next 40 years we could be spending nearly $300trillion dollars on electricity alone… its time for sps
awh shit i gave it a 4 and i meant to give it 5… now i fucked up your perfect score! sorry lad :(
The beam should be spatially coherent
lift costs per KG * KW per KG
Watts per KG are in the range of 4KW-17KW per KG.
Delta 4 = just about $7,500 per KG
1MW = $441,000 to $1,800,000
I only included the solar film weight as I don’t know what the structure weight would be..
isn’t this transmission method at most 50% effective? so 1 MW space becomes 500KW on the ground unless gains have been made..
A PowerSat beam should be spatially coherent.
i would work for that company and help it be number one and invest it to
If I was a multi mijonair, I would certainly invest in this company.
Guess I need to go back to study, to back this company up in maybe < 10 years
Where find investors today for the task? Perhaps Bric’s governments or private means.
Very interesting, – better do it quick before oil runs out which could limit the making of the solar cells
