Can we send a bunch of these ion-powered planes to fly on solar power in the stratosphere, more efficiently and rapidly generating ozone than the natural process?
- detritus 8y agoThat's exactly what I wrote in a response to the parent an hour or so ago! :(
- marcosdumay 8y agoYou won't be able to get to the stratosphere with low efficiency propellers. And you would need an absurd number of them to make any difference.

- gpm 8y agoAs someone else suggested before this comment was posted, use a balloon for lift? Maybe combine the whole thing with project loon like internet relays. With a source of thrust like this it would be much easier to keep them where you want them.
