Could this work (part of space question)?

Asked by Steve_A (5125points) January 28th, 2010

In part of way I asked the whole thing of space question.

—>http://www.fluther.com/disc/71149/is-it-possible-to-do-this-in-space/

After reading some science magazines I seen a picture of a helicopter flying over to windmills.

I started to think what if you could have a type of clean energy that would not require any external force like wind,water,sun etc….

Now before I put this idea to you, I am sure that the amount of money and it actually working are slim to none.Also I am sure there are SOO many factors that I have not taken in. (Maybe you can point some out to me)

but its very simple what about a windmill in space?

Lets just hypothetically speaking in the correct “friendly space environment” that all you have to do is spin or crank the windmill which is tied to what I call “energy blocks” that are later docked to a main station which are loaded with energy. And its an endless supply since the windmill once cranked has nothing to stop it. Theres no gravity.

Once there is a full load it is then sent back to earth with vasts amount of energy.(or thats the idea) I believe this would be the hardest part maybe you could make easily disposable loads , also recyclable maybe?

Also can you give me ideas on the most possible way to transport these “energy blocks” to earth?

I wish I could draw, so I could sketch it out and show you, or read my brain images it might make more sense.

So what do you think? Is it possible? Can a fool like myself at math put anything hard and factual into it? Like say the density and type of material needed for these objects to come in and out space?

Again I am just thinking of ideals if anything I know its a far limb to go out on but I found I had many great answers on my last questions.

Thank you as always.
