Ben Nowack, an inventor and former employee of SpaceX, wants to send satellites with mirrors mounted on them into the sky to generate solar energy at night.
According to Nowack, everyone is installing a lot of solar panels. It is a great candidate to be the leader of the world.
He said that the sun turns off at night. You fix solar everywhere if you solve the problem.
The brainchild of Nowack, Tons of Mirrors is attempting to get satellites off the ground.
It is possible to shine sunlight on solar farms that already exist because of the reflectors in space. No one else is working on any of the technologies I've developed. The model was more economical due to that.
He told the site that he came up with a way to turn the basic technologies NASA uses into something else.
Nowack wants to build a parabola-shaped mirror out of millions of parabolas.
The company is trying to raise $5 million by October in order to test out one of its reflectors outside the International Space Station.
It is a long shot, but it is a compelling idea. It's been learned from his former boss that proving that something can be done more economically can be worth a lot of money.
It's the challenge to make this cheaper than everything else.
A man is trying to put mirrors in space to generate solar power at night.
Amazon secretly shut down all of its solar rooftops after they started catching fire.
