Foreign Media: Chinese Team Explores Using Space Microwave Beams to Change Typhoon Intensity and Path
The chief scientist of China's "Dailu" space-based solar power station project wrote an article proposing that the project could not only transmit clean energy to Earth in the future, but also have the potential to "tame typhoons."
He pointed out that if the microwave beam has sufficient energy, it can be used to heat water vapor within the storm system in a targeted way, "changing regional atmospheric circulation and thus altering the intensity and path of typhoons." In addition, this power station can also charge satellites, space stations, and deep-space probes. In the future, lunar bases may also rely on this "space battery" technology.
In 2022, the team built a 75-meter-high ground test tower on campus to simulate the entire process of tracking the sun, focusing light, generating electricity, converting microwaves, transmitting over long distances, and receiving and restoring them. The ground system has now achieved a new breakthrough in "one-to-many transmission," meaning a single microwave transmitter can simultaneously supply power to multiple mobile receiving targets.
