Power of wind!

[Lance Cho]

I've got an Idea and I would like somebody to help me bring it along. I've got no science backgroud so i'll try my best.

 

Would it be possible to build a strong and tall enough wind turbine to reach the Jetstream? If not how about a stationary ship or something similar to it. Think of the possblitys. Do the the high speed of Jet streams, enormous amounts of pwer could be created.

 

 

If not how's this.

 

My idea is a Nova Sphere. In which the plan is to totaly surround a star inside a structure in order to harness all power comming from it? Maybe the metal or other substance used to surround it could be mixed with pure carbon and ion particles? Would any of this be possible?

There are plans for tethered blimps with wind turbines on them and other similar ideas for harnessing the jetstream, but so far nothing practical.

 

The "Nova Sphere" is actually a "Dyson Sphere," named for the physicist Freeman Dyson, who extrapolated from the exponential increases in every civilization's energy consumption that eventually the human race would need every ounce of energy from the sun, which would most likely require completely surrounding it with physical material. We're even looking for them, as part of the Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence, by looking for the characteristic infrared radiation that such an object would emit.

Dyson Sphere

 

That's it. I couldn't remember the name I've seen that had a similar idea. :-D

 

Consider this and EDIT. lol
