Nice tech but 500w/m2 is… not too much in the limit. If you operate a few thousand multiple dozen TW fusion plants, these won’t matter much unless you plaster S

Nice tech but 500w/m2 is… not too much in the limit. If you operate a few thousand multiple dozen TW fusion plants, these won’t matter much unless you plaster Sahara with them. Maybe.
- yetihehe 3y agoIt's only a start, there may be better technologies when we actuallu do have TW-scale fusion plants. Like TW-scale heat pumps using nanopatterned laser emitters to get rid of the heat at super high temperatures (remember, that energy emitted is temperature^4 [0]). There already are technologies for this, but we don't need them yet. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan%E2%80%93Boltzmann_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stefan%E2%80%93Boltzmann_law
