SpaceX's Elon Musk Talks

I tried to send this link from my phone but don't think it went through so using a computer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9angvpwHOy8Bill Brown produced and voiced this overview of Goldstone tests with clear closeups and information on the working rectennas. WHo better to watch then the man who started it? :-)Forgive me if the previous email goes through.Also on the SSI YouTube Channel is Bill Brown and Peter Glaser at the first ISU talking Powerbeaming and SPS:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSLZkazuArsSSI just recently shipped a very large collection of SPS and Microwave beaming researchfunded byNASA and the DOE west from our storage in Princeton and will be releasing it as we are able. (SSI was chosen by NASA to be the archive of all such documentation during the major testing and background phases in the 1980s and 1990s)Again, if my phone email goes through please excuse this duplication.Robert SmithSpace Studies Instituteweb: ssi.organnouncements: facebook.com/SpaceStudiesInstituteOn October 28, 2017 at 5:53 PM "wlm_efn@...

You might question the validity of these studies, but that there are plenty of them is not in doubt. http://mercola.fileburst.com/PDF/123ReviewsNonthermalEffectsMicrowaveLowerFrequencyEMFs-MartinPall.pdf https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/05/18/microwave-hazards.aspx https://www.goodhealthinfo.net/radiation/health_efx_western.htm > Can you be more detailed?

No I did *not* suggest literally chicken wire, that is why I said "something like". Maybe I could have stated it better by saying: something like a mesh that captures microwaves but lets all, or almost all, the light through. Of the rectennas I've seen, none of them look anything like this. They are all mostly, if not almost completely, opaque solid surface. Here is a google image search for "rectenna array element": https://www.google.com/search?q=rectenna+array+element&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X Here is a NASA study done on rectennas. See the picture of the rectenna on page 10: http://www.nss.org/settlement/ssp/library/1987-NASACR179558-RectennaTechnologyProgram.pdf Here's a page, at the bottom of which is (small) picture of a rectenna surface: http://www.spaceset.org/p.solar.mm Here's another rectenna page and picture, from the Japan space program: https://www.ijser.org/paper/Renewable-energy-Spaced-based-solar-Power-transmission.html https://www.ijser.org/paper/Renewable-energy-Spaced-based-solar-Power-transmission/Image_007.jpg Here's another picture of an actual rectenna: http://www.solarsat.org/Bill%20Brown%20tuning%20Rectenna.png">
