About 1500 Watts/m^2 of sunlight energy strikes the Earth....?

Only 70% of the power flux reaches the surface ot the earth.\nThe electric field is defined a Newton per unit charge..\nThe power flux from the sun is really radiation power its Usually measured in Joules per second per meter^2. \nVolt per meter is = to force per unit distance. Its resulting units are kg /sec^2. which is not equal to joules/sec/meter^2.

the person before me solved for the capacity, which is how much charge the earth can hold, not how much charge it is actually holding.\n\nthere is no way to know for sure how much charge is on the earth's surface, it's too big, and it is constantly changing.  Charged particles go up into the atmosphere all the time, and everytime there's a lightning storm, it changes dramatically at one time, and there's no way to really measure how much charge is there at any given time.  Plus, it's not really 'charged' becaue it is so big and has so little charge compared to its mass, which is why it can act as a 'grounding' and not be affected when large amounts of charge are put into it, because they are still small charges relative to the mass of the earth.  it is impossible to calculate the total charge on the entire earth at any given time.

Your calculations look pretty good.  \nYour assesment of what is a ridiculous answer is a bit lacking.\n\nYour cals use a 1.2-.955 = .245m deflection.  When you change .245 to 1.2, you increase the energy by (1.2/.245)² = 23.99.\n\nSo, with about 24 times as much energy, I would bet without calculating that it will go 500m.......

Ok you need a bowl of water and the sun. The energy is trapped (at least temporarily) in the water, as heat.

1500 Watts / 170 Watts per panel = 8.8 panels.\n\nFigure on 9 panels.  The next issue is whether to wire them in series for higher voltage or parallel for higher current.  But that depends on the rest of the system.

A steam engine.  Please, the  1800s are over.  Have you heard of solar power and/or wind power?

well, work and energy is about the same\n\nso w = fd = mgh\n\nm = 1000\ng= 9.81 m/s^2\nd = 146\n\nw = 1000*9.81*146 (N/m)\n\nplug it in there you go

The cost of solar power in most locations is about .37/kwh as fossil fuel costs increase and solar power becomes more efficient it will probably be used on every corner of the Earth (figuratively speaking, I know the Earth has no corners).\n\nHere in Florida last year we had storms knock ou power to millions of households. Solar energy systems not only survived, but those homes were the only ones with power!

Let's just talk about Earth. The earth's diameter is 12756 km. Its circumference is pi x 12756 = 40074 km. The earth spins 1 round in 24 hours. That's 1700 km/h, or 472 m/s. If it rotates in an OPPOSITE direction, it's like the Earth is rotating at 944 km/s and suddenly stops. What happens? You fly through the air at 944 km/s. All the houses fly through the air at 944 km/s. Whole forests fly at 944 km/s. Even whole mountain ranges and mountain tips fly at 944 km/s. The ocean's waters fly backward at 944 km/s. Talk about a uber tsunami. I don't know what the friction of air against these object would do to them. Can anyone solve that? Even the Earth's crust might become detached with its outer mantle, I think. Lava breaks out everywhere, global earthquakes... In short: All hell breaks loose. Man, that's even worse than the Death Star. Superman actually does that to Earth in one of his movies. He's a major nut!

The Speed of Sun Light = 1.77245385 to the 11 power miles/sec.\n( Note) Page 11 of "The Paper" proves two things, Frist = is that\n177,245.385 miles/sec. is the true Mathematical Speed of Light.

At the sun's deep interior(400,000 miles deep!), heat(20million degrees Fahrenheit) & pressure(4 trillion pounds per square inch) act on  700 million tons of hydrogen, converting it to 695 million tons of helium....per second!!!!!! The excess 5 million tons of hydrogen that isn't turned to helium becomes pure radiant energy according to Einstein's famous equation, E=MCsquared,\nwhere E=energy\nM=mass\nCsquared=(speed of light) times (speed of light)!\n\nYou can understand how much energy is created because the (speed of light)squared= 186, 284miles per second times 5280feet per mile times 186,284miles per second  times 5280feet per mile is a seriously big number. When this number is also multiplied to the large hydrogen mass(5 million tons) converted to energy, the Energy unleashed by the sun is stupifyingly stupendous!!!!!!!   The energy unleashed by the sun is the equivalent (& is the very same type of energy) of  11 billion 1 megaton nuclear(not atomic) weapons exploded per second. You might understand this huge energy amount better if you were to think of a square mile of terrain on the earth exploding 55 nuclear weapons per second.... continually & over every square mile of the entire planet earth!!!!!! Such power is unleashed in the sun but it doesn't hurt us(except when we get sun burns & long term cancers). Great processes work in the sun, in the space & electromagnetic fields around the sun & earth, & in the sun &  earth's atmospheres, not to kill us, but to SUSTAIN life on earth. Wow, wow, wow.............WOW!!!!

I'd say 17000-19000 miles per hour.\n\nIts at a inclined geo-stationary orbit probably.

I suppose the power is inversely proportional to the square of the distance. Thus a square meter on Pluto gets 1/1600 as much power as one on Earth, or 1400/1600, 7/8 of a watt.

I would guess the sun would be the energy in SOLAR powered anything. Solar = sun

W = F * d\nW = (400 newtons) * 2.15 meters = 860 joules

Just about all of your questions are addressed at the source below.\n\nTo me, you just seem to be trolling. If you read the article, it gives possible explanations under "Theoretical problems".\n\nYou're not some miracle thinker who's "thinking outside the box." Solar astronomers know what they're talking about. They don't just say, "Oh! Gee! We were totally owned by this Yahoo! kid!" Please. They're also okay not knowing things. That's why they study: to figure things out.\n\nBut I suppose you think the sun is really powered by an alien civilization's equivalent to a battery, and by controlling solar wind they were able to cause 9/11. Right?
