It's a rectenna for collecting space based solar power beamed to earth via microwave
Yeah, obviously.
It's not really obvious to anyone who hasn't heard of the concept
Hmph, imagine not knowing about rectenna for collecting space based solar power beamed to earth via microwave
Is this actually what a 'microwave' would be in this context? I don't know about this kind of stuff so not sure if this is a joke
It would be transfered via microwaves, that is, EM waves with micrometer frequencies.
