Reflect Orbital wants to put reflecting mirrors in space to sell sunlight to solar farms after dark. The numbers work out exactly as you expect them to. It's Solar Freakin' Space Mirror time! https://ift.tt/XITvj3R BenNBuilds baloon test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4hUNCtDTIZc First Principles interview with Ben Nowack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDV3v0Xb4ow S3 Interview video with Reflect Orbital: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BcDoDs89rc S3 2nd interview with Ben Nowack & Tristan Semmelhack : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmC-u-fXueA Space.com article: https://ift.tt/W3Otl18 ClimateCapital investment: https://ift.tt/q4wnzAI Understanding the Duck Curve: https://ift.tt/zeq4CI0 Real time US energy price tracker: https://ift.tt/mlIDNxz Forum: https://ift.tt/8zO1bhq 00:00 - Reflect Orbital, Sunlight After Dark 01:18 - Ben Nowack from BenNBuilds Youtube channel & the baloon test 02:55 - Sun synchronous polar orbit reflecting mirror satellites 03:54 - A look at the website claims, a 5km sunlight spot for 4 minutes 05:58 - This isn't new, the Russians did it with the Znamya 2, albeit unintentionally 06:56 - Who's behind Reflect Orbital? 08:12 - What is the Duck Curve? 09:31 - CLAIM: A 10m x 10m satellite mylar reflector into a 12U Cubesat 10:09 - CLAIM: 10's to 100's if BILLIONS of dollar per year revenue! 10:35 - CLAIM: $50/MWh energy sale price after dark 11:18 - CLAIM: $175k/year revenue from each satellite & launch costs 11:58 - CLAIM: 200W/sqm? Err, in what universe? 12:24 - DaveCAD calculations 13:10 - 100kW maximum capture is reduced by the tilt angle 14:05 - 5mW/sqm. FIVE MILLIWATTS! Is this a JOKE? 14:50 - But WAIT, what if you combine and focus all the satellites? 16:02 - It gets WORSE! Capacity Factor is a problem. 18:14 - 20MWh/year WOW!, that's a lot, right? Right? 19:22 - Even 20MWh/year become ZERO if it consumes more than it produces! 20:09 - How did nobody do a back-of-the-envelope calculation?
