proxima centauri flares dangerous
Hi!
After my metamorphosis to an electronic human through whole brain emulation and after our sun fades I thought of going to proxima centauri, a red dwarf with an estimated main sequence of 4 trillion years. Proxima centauri is a flare star with explosive flares (due to magnetism caused by convection) which have x-rays and cause the brightness of the star to double in minutes. Do you think it will be feasible to operate solar panels and electronics close enough to proxima centauri to get useful energy from the infrared light and still be safe from flares, solar wind, x-rays etc.? Thanks, Bernhard |

Well, you could just sneak up on it at night and plug in
an extension cord .... "Bernhard Kuemel" wrote in message ... Hi!

Thanks, Bernhard Sure. Just put your panels and electronics far enough away. Of course that means they won't be reliable or consistent in their power capacity and output. |
