Unidirectional EM Energy flow

[softdragonz]

I got this strange thought when i was thinking of solar energy

 

I mean see, Why do we get so much less energy as compared to actual energy emitted by the sun? It is because, sun emits electromagnetic energy in all directions. ;)

 

Is there any way in which we can transport electromagnetic energy (with minimal loss) in one direction from one point to another?:) ( note that the there must be no physical connection between the two points :hihi: )

We COULD build a large mirror in space that reflected solar energy to a focal point on the earth to direction energy to one spot if thats what you mean.

Fourier transform filter to focus, form a caustic, or at least collimate in free space; or use a waveguide.

Thanks a lot arkain and AI

Now that we can have a unidirectional flow, is it possible for us to construct a solar energy tapper ( a solar cell ) very close to the sun and then transport the energy. In that case, maybe we could get a lot of energy than what our existing solar systems can supply.

 

BTW, can u please how Fourier Transform filter helps to focus ;)
