The idea …
Send water on a 150 million kilometer pipeline to the sun to super heat it … then pipe the steam back to power a turbine

Wouldn’t even need to run it out that far and we don’t have the material science to handle temperatures near the sun.

this is just the inverse of concentrated solar. you bring the pipe closer to the light rather than bringing the light closer to the pipe.

I don’t know why you made me laugh so much, thanks for that post.
I think it’s because it turns the concept into something so low tech and banal

There could be a whole industry of Dyson Dudes that run back and forth with the tubes
