Axil, I like your theory as far as linkage between the nano and micro scale using SPP but am not convinced the SPP is the power source. Why does SPP have the potential for over unity? Wouldn't it be far likelier that you are setting the stage for a self assembled Maxwellian demon to exploit the

Axil, I like your theory as far as linkage between the nano and micro scale using SPP but am not convinced the SPP is the power source. The power source is dipole motion in the micro-particle. This particle is sized to be resonant with the operating temperature of the reactor. The dipole

It is a little more complex. There is a distance from the (presumed flat) mirror such that the angular extent of the mirror is about the same as that of the sun (1/2 deg). From there out the intercepted flux decreases, by the square of the distance. From the birds view, at that distance it
