How Does One Build Electro-Magnetic Solar-Voltaic Fields?

Magnetic fields exist for the Earth and many other solar system bodies--so why not use electro-magnetic fields to capture photons in order to produce energy for powering microwave ovens or to boost off-whirld electro-magnetic accelerated space journey units? I believe the conundrum is in the pudding, or the lack of it, and whip cream sufficient to make photon field collectors out of planetary-sized magnetic fields. I wish these scientists would get with it! What sort of solar voltaic field paradigm could be created?

Seriously though, after reading today the first article below on another research development for making electricity from solar photons I was reminded of how fine it would have been if as an adult if I had afforded more time for continuing scientific and philosophical researches. There should be some method to harvest solar and stellar photons in large fields to convert the energy to useful electrical potential for very nominal cost--actually for collecting the potential energy and narrowly applying it to self-interest.

An electro-magnetic accelerator or linear magnetic accelrator would accelerate a space journey unit at speed in relation to the mass of the unit to travel and the amount of energy activated sequentially on-line. To accelerate slow enough for survival of humans energy is only gradually added until at higher speed increased sub-6 G acceleration accumutively has reached a very high speed.

With a technology to shape electro-magnetic fields and to energize them with captured photons accelerators of sufficient size to allow velocities of a significant portion of the speed of light could be achieved.


Electromagnetic projectile accelerator
United States Patent 4432333 --

"Electromagnetic projectile accelerator comprising stationary coreless coils arranged in a row thus forming a tube. On the interior wall surface of said tube electrically opposite poled plates are mounted establishing an electric field.

The magnetic projectile moving through the said electric field generates an alternating switching mode in the respective electromagnetic coils whereby the acceleration of the projectile within the tube is performed."
