Affordable Solar & Wind

Is it technically possible to collect solar power in orbit and transmit it to earth ?

Or to build a nuclear power generator in orbit (safely) and do the same. Could enough electricity be generated and sent in this way to substantially aid our energy needs?
The advantage of doing this in orbit would be 1. 24 hour sunlight for solar?, 2. Send the mess out into space if there is a mishap re nuclear?

Yes, technically possible and it even has been done on a small scale by converting the raw electricity into a beam of microwaves. At the receiving end, the microwaves are converted back into raw electricity. On a small scale, this is used in smart RFID tags used by stores to tag pilferable items. The radio beam powers the circuit in the tag so it can transmit a reply. There is no power source in the tag itself. They deactivate the tag by causiing an overload which burns out the circuitry. The problem with large scale is one of focus of beam over large distances. The beam would have to be very strong to transmit usable power, and if the beam strayed, would cause heat damage, especially to living things, cooking them much like a microwave oven does.

A Mobile Solar Power Generation System Prototype $113.11 Fossil energy source has become scarce over the years. The burning of fossil fuel to generate power is contributing massive damages to earth. The call for clean and environmentalfriendly energy are getting louder by days. In this book, we discuss in details on the design and implementation of a mobile solar power generator with microcontroller as the core of the system, together with solar panels, real time clock IC, temperature and photo sensors, LEDs, an LCD display, a motor and a lead acid rechargeable battery. A sun tracking system which can constantly align the panels towards the direction of the sun is integrated in the solar energy system to make it more practical and feasible in maximizing the efficiency of solar absorption. The model developed is an intelligent system as a whole that manages both the usage of solar power harvested and the battery power, to display the time, date, batterys voltage and temperature on an LCD display, as well as control the rotation of the sun tracking system.
