can different planets have different static charges?

Like maybe the earth has an extremely positive charge, but we call it neutral because it's our baseline. Now we send a probe to another planet with a strong negative charge. When that probe touches ground, could the discharge of static energy destroy it's electronics? Is that something NASA engineers have to plan for?

Under normal circumstances objects tend to remain electrically neutral because charged objects will immediately begin gaining/losing electrons through tiny interactions like attracting dust particles. Eventually, an equilibrium is again reached.

>> No.10762165

>>10762111
so basically you just described what we call a floating ground in EE. if there is no command ground, you can measure voltage (the potential difference) relative to any specific point. if we connect the two planets, that may result in an electric current and the earth may suddenly become negatively or positively charged. will that screw up all the electronics and power transmission lines on the planet? i would rather not connect us to such a planet.

You are absolutely right. It was inefficient, however, it was not that which was blocked by Edison. It was AC (Alternating Current). That would have made wireless clocks, floating induction, wireless mouses. Everything would be wireless.

Energy cannot be created only converted. You can probably create a system to transfer electricity without using wires and not ask people to pay for it, but prior to that you need some other source of energy that will provide energy which you can convert to electricity

The sun is free energy in the same sense that petroleum reserves are free energy. The energy source exists, and until you try to do something with it, it is free.

>> No.10766496

>>10762833
Cool. So you propose using that effect to provide free energy to everyone, as per OP's post.

But I think you skipped a step. You still need to be able to produce electricity using the photoelectric effect in industrial amounts, globally... for free. And, if we are to fulfill all of OP's criteria, you need a free wireless transmission system. But I'd be willing to skip the wireless transmission if you can explain how you are going to manufacture huge quantities of photovoltaic cells for free.

It's already been done in many different labs. Problem though, like others have said, is the interference with other electronics and some animals. It just wouldn't work well. I think it is just more reliable to have power running to your source via transmission cables vs any other method

Google Debye length. The sun's plasma is said to be "quasi-neutral". The bait is that there are lots of heated discussions about whether the sun is only slightly positively charged. Different models predict different charge amounts anything from 77 C to 10^22 C. But overall it is slightly positively charged due to loss of electrons due to the solar wind. The point is if the total charge is as little as 77C you can drain it like a Lipo battery in one second if you draw 77 Amp from it. The average Sun-powered quadcopter could drain the Sun in a few seconds.

Yes, its called the zeropoint reactor. Works by initiating a high speed electric (DC) plasma discharge and capturing energy with a Faraday coil (with some capacitance). Yes, that simple but you'll get MIB on your ass if you advertise it. There is a feedback loop and you can't shield it because it requires aetheric fluid flow as an open system.
