Japanese for the win
Wow, I have huge problems with this video. The silica in the Sahara desert is of a poor quality for manufacture of silicon for solar panels and electronics. This is a minor detail, but if you wanted to manufacture silicon, you wouldn’t do it there. HTSC’s do not exist and when we get HTSC’s is unknown. Solar power cannot power 50% of a power grid currently. In a perfect situation it can power up to 40% of a grid. Realistically, solar will be up to 30-35% of a grid.
This is a very very old project and it-s been tried before. Problem is the sand in the air destroyes the solar bateries…

@saylio79 I think your looking at your numbers the wrong way. It said EACH solar cell produce 100kw, not each plant. You could say that each plant holds somewhere between 80 to 100Mw. That should reduce your number to roughly 75000 plants. The biggest challenge is delivering the energy. Current super conductors today need to be about -240 deg C to operate.
i m egyptian …. i can tell u = this is more than we even dream about …. i luv japan … i really do … this will fight poverty & global eco-system issues … dear japan plz send it for abetter world … u america stop sending troops … we need no more blood …. plz … we got enough
one of the best channels on youtube! LOVE TECHNOLOGY
YEAH!

@Freshman000000 screw japan u saw what they did to pearl harbor thats why U.S.A had to drop the NUKE on them assholes hopefully they learn to not fuck with uss again .
@saylio79 Umm you mean “write” right? I see you tried to present some sort of point with all that.. I read it all, but the tone of your writing and the errors you made make me feel like I shouldnt be bothered to even think about what you were trying to get at.. You come off as naive.. You use things like A) and 1) .. But there is no B) or 2)..
Anyways.. I agree, the infrastructure has to be considered, and this video does not seem to consider that, or some other fine points.
Im surpirsed they didnt claim this to be bio-inspired from flowers.. That seems to be the new fad..
@saylio79 We have been able to produce transistors exponentially.
Hey japan, you want to invent cyber bodys so you can give me a political job where I use a security force to eliminate resistance to technological progress working as a para-military police force? America seems more interested in fighting religious wars, please send me an invite to the real party.
@Asymmatrix i’m talking about the fact that everyone else has been presenting hard facts. I do not posses a degree in quantum physics, nor do I possess one in geology. I am merely trying to point out to you that you have your head in the sand and are ignoring all of the facts. Kinda like the Tea Party, now that i think about it.
@reubenbridges I agree that unjust exploitation takes place. However, in this case, even if African nations got almost nothing out of this (unlikely), they’re hardly losing anything either. The Sahara is basically a wasteland. No one lives there, and no one has any use for it, resource-wise. Until now.
@Asymmatrix I’m not automatically a troll just because I disagreed with you! Trust me, the Sahara is not about to run out of sand, not even if we entirely covered it with solar panels. The sand is deep, and solar panels are thin. Sure, sand is finite (as is everything), but there’s finite and there’s finite. Sand is not gold dust.
@zblaber Nor do you. The end.
@Asymmatrix *facepalm*
Ladies and Gentlemen of the internet. I would like to hereby recognize Asymmatrix as being “mad” as evidenced by the fact he has no solid evidence to back up the horse s*** spewing from his mouth.
just because this is in African countries doesn’t mean the population is doing absolutely nothing all day and you have a few million people to employ instantly
1)after they get to year 2013 they will be building sili plants and polysili plants at a rate of 2n/2 -1 = n-1 plants a year — did a scientist really right 2n/2 -1 ??? really, my kid sister in 4th grade would reduce that fraction
Well the math says that in 2050 or n =2050-2013=37 you would have 2^(37/2+1) plants built. well that is equal to 741455 plants. @100kW each that means they are producing 74,145,500,000 ~ 74 GW and hitting 100GW by 2051
A) there is nothing in human history that we have been able to produce exponentially — NOTHING — bacteria can do it but not humans
just do what ??
this guy thinks that humans can build something at an exponentions rate at the time 3:38 of this video his chart says they will build plants at a rate of 2^(n/2+1) – that means in year 17 they will be building 13000 plants — its not possible — it doesn;t even look possible on paper — ok so you got cheap silicon, but what about the other materials you will need like aluminum supports and copper wires
there is NOTHING humans can create in an exponential manner
100 Million research? Just do it!
@guitarpedant
So I guess I have to show and prove then. And no I’m not just saying anything to make it sound bad. I’m basing everything from what seen from other companies
that continue to operate in Africa, only to take the resource for there own gain and the people suffer. If I can show you what can said can be done, then I can go and teach them how to do it. Like I told Sotall111, if I’m wrong, I’ll personally write you back saying I was wrong. But they have to prove me wrong.
i hope they dont plan on having clones operate it
