Disassembled Stars? Anonymous Fri May 10 10:01:46 2019 No.10632059 [Reply] [Original]

How would you disassemble a star, either to use stellar mass as a resource, or to completely take it apart in order to exponentially extend the time one could gain energy from it by eliminating the waste of energy into the wider universe as solar radiation? How would a star be affected as you siphoned mass off of it? How would vast amounts of stellar mass be stored prior to use? How would it be converted into usable energy or materials?

Keep making the same thread until you've reached a critical mass, then you can put that in an orbit around the sun, and use it to create an artificial binary partner for the sun that can leach away the external shell of the star on its closest pass.

Why don't we have more shows like Lexx? It was ahead of it's time.

>How would a star be affected as you siphoned mass off of it?
If you are smart about it you first take off the "pollutants" which are heavy elements such as Iron. Only put back the hydrogen to make the star more efficient and last longer. What would happen with a star if you did that is that it would slowly shrink down to becoming a red dwarf and then a brown dwarf and eventually it'll just be a gas giant. Every stage has an exponentially longer lifespan.
>How would vast amounts of stellar mass be stored prior to use?
The most efficient way would be to store it within a supermassive black hole if preventing entropy is your goal. If you're a low-tech species then storing them all into artificial gas giants is also an option.
>How would it be converted into usable energy or materials?
Depending on how advanced your technology is you could use the hydrogen and helium from the stars to fuel nuclear fusion reactors. A more advanced species would use matter+anti-matter annihilation. The most advanced species would throw all matter in a supermassive black hole and use the hawking radiation that gets emitted to power their civilization.

You may or may not have notice the subtle sexual imagery in previous pic. That was not accidental. In Lexx almost every scene has some sexual undertone in one form or another hidden in it.

Figure out a way to get at the delicious core? I mean we're basically talking about a gigantic fuckin' fusion reactor right? Go for the guts, not the burning shit on the outside. It's too volatile to fuck with.

Why not recreate one? You can recreate a star under proper conditions. First step: throw away the fusion core model (conventional) and adopt the electric Birkeland Sun. It reflects reality such as the heavy elements that are present in the core. Keep an eye on the SAFIRE project. https://safireproject.com/
