Just an Idea

this is just one of those crack pot theorys i came up with while i was lying in bed last night watching Flashes of light out the window of my room.
As far as i can tell the only limitless energy source is the sun, it provides us with warmth and everything else, I have heard scientests say that they are harnessing the power of the sun to make energy e.g. solar power. But i have a different idea. and this is it (i know it needs work).

Light is a constant energy, it feeds it self while traveling enourmous distances, instead of going in the direction of solar power imagine going in the direction of a light alternator, where light is the energy, not solar rays but actual light, i have probibly just blown a circut in my brain but to me, using light for an energy source is a perfect idea, with light as our 'fossel fuel' we could reach unheard of speeds in space travel, maybe not the speed of light, but pretty damn close.

I have no idea how im gona do it, but damn i am gona work on this and try and figure out a mathimatical equation to get this pet progect to work.

sounds interesting. Good luck with that.

This might help you out.

Zero Point Energy (check it out on google, loads of stuff on it)

I don't see how this would work, are you meaning a "perpetual motion machine" actually that's all I can seem to think you mean.

Light is energy, it's "photons" which behave as waves one way, as particles another...it has a given measureable value of energy.

So do you mean to say to covert that light directly from light into an electron?

I doubt it's actually feasable the current way we get energy from light is of course using the properties of metals that shed electrons when a certain wavelength of light hits it.

So I would think it'd be more productive to find a way to produce a light wavelength that could maximize e- output than to find away to get energy directly from the light itself.

Well, you have to have a light source, first.

And the amount of light put out is just a bit less than the amount needed to generate it.
