Good idea! We’ll just need some steam turbines to help sunlight move the pistons in order to reach peak efficiency!

It seems like we could make this a lot more efficient by using pistons and having the sunlight push the pistons, turning a generator.

I want us to build a Dyson swarm which is a bunch of ginormous pistons with attached even more ginormous solar sails. The solar sails pull the pistons which make generator go brr, and we become a K-2 civilization.

big solar has kept the truth about free power generation hidden for years.

If you plug a power strip into each one of those empty plugs, you could power the whole house!

In all fairness, you need to install a magnet at the far end and keep pluging and unplugging it to generate power…
