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 proposed in an article 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 energy is strong enough, it can be used to heat water vapor within the storm system, "changing regional atmospheric circulation, thereby altering the typhoon's intensity and path." In addition, this power station could also charge satellites, space stations, and deep-space probes, and 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, long-distance transmission, and receiving and restoring. The current ground system has achieved a new breakthrough in "one-to-many transmission," meaning a single microwave transmitter can simultaneously power multiple mobile receiving targets.
