Solar Panels are about 10% efficient. Light will go out very quickly.

most of it is lost as heat. sorry for ya

Entropy wants to have a word with you.

Relevant to OP's interests

As are incandescent light bulbs.

GOOD LUCK GETTING TO 11.2 km/s

my favorite part about this picture this that the rocket is propelled by a fan.

>>1092924
That's why we take the extra heat and convert it back to energy.

A surplus.

Here's a more efficient version.

>>1092930
The push down on the rocket going up the ladder with the water bucket, will make the rocket loose more speed then the energy put into the speed when the water falls.

>>1092974
more efficient, yes, but, heat will be released threw the solar panels on the outside of the sphere, not to mention that thermal energy slows down the movement of electrons.

>>1092974
>If anyone sees it in action, it doesn't work

Keep the light off and you are 100% efficient.

>heat will be released
Precisely, that's how we get new energy from the system.

We aren't just keeping energy, we're making more shit.

>>1093009
thermodynamics fail

>>1093001
Awww! You peeked!

>>1092910
How old are you, OP?

>>1093027
OP's just trolling with copypasta

>>1093020
>>1093009
0/10

DAT HEAT

>>1093030
I know, I just wanted to see how far OP would take this, and in the process maybe reverse-troll, but now you're RUINED it..

>>1092910
Hey OP, how about you get yourself surgically altered so your mouth is attached to your asshole, and everything you've eaten will just get recycled, you'll never be hungry again!

>>1093036
lol reverse troll? you dont even know what trolling is

>>1093047
Fuck, whatever dude. It's not like there are internationally accepted terms for these things. Get a fucking life already.

>>1093047
Indeed. How dare somebody post in /sci/ if they don't know how to troll. Tsk tsk.

>>1092978
doubt it; the forces are internalized you idiot.

>>1092930
this could work to propel the craft for a while, but not indefinitely. it is actually using the chemical energy of the man carrying the bucket to do work, which is not limitless.

>>1092974

>>1093158
BINGO

B-) Somebody got it
