Lunar Batteries
Are they a scientific possibly-batteries powered by moonlight?
Moon doesn't really give off enough life to Power something since It's just a reflection. Solar powered things have enough trouble...
Probably just some type of battery they plan on using for moon exploration or something.
btw whats with your Really really random threads?
Moonlight is reflected sunlight, so it's technically possible. It's just such a weak lightsource that there's no point in harnessing it in particular. Having a solar cell left out in the moonlight isn't a horrible idea, if only because it's more trouble to put it away then to take care of it.
A much better idea: Solar cells on the moon. The moon is tidal locked, so it doesn't rotate, and it doesn't have any atmosphere to speak of so the only thing that prevents you from getting 100% possible power all the time is the Earth's shadow.
Ehhh, I dunno if I'll stick around. We'll see.

Why go for the moon when you have the sun? Try charging any solar battery at night.
If each mistake being made is a new one, then progress is being made.
Because moonlight is a secondary source of light.Originally Posted by Haoie
Lunar batteries are possible,but I don't want to be a traitor to the sun.
I EAT MY CARROTS!
No it isn't, it reflects light from the sun. Far too little light is reflected to be of much use to a solar cell, however.
Ehhh, I dunno if I'll stick around. We'll see.

I'm talking about lunar cells. Is it possible to make a cel that absorbs moonlight?
Uhhh that would be a terrible idea. You would get little power from the moon because the rays would not be as intense as normal sun rays. The light is reflected by the moon and onto us. But it is so little. You may get a little power during a full moon but they come by rarely.
Why not just do what we already do and use solar panels during the day? More effective then your moon batteries.
But can moonlight be magnified?
We have enough trouble getting things to run on Solar power or even harnessing it... Moon light is waaaay weaker and would be probaly 200x less efficient if not more.
Unless you plan to Put a massive Magnifine glass in Orbit no it can't.
Look, hypothetically you could get some, well probably next to none, energy out of moon light. But your forgetting how weak it is. It depends on the specific technology used in the solar panel. Some types of cells require a certain minimum of light before they will produce any electricity at all, and others will produce electricity proportional to how much light is on it starting from 0.
Even with a panel that produces electricity starting at 0, the amount of light coming from the moon is so much less than that of the Sun, it's probably not worth trying to create electricity out of it. I'd be surprised if you could charge a watch using a 1 sq meter solar panel over night.

So long as useful wavelengths of light are transmitted, the Solar Cell will make electrical energy out of it. It doesn't matter what generated the light (or in this case, what the light bounced off of).
Sure. But it'll never be useful enough. You'd be better off putting a solar cell farm in space and figuring out a feasible way to get that energy to the ground then to wait for some light to bounce off the moon and hit some solar cells.
Ehhh, I dunno if I'll stick around. We'll see.

I don't think its a possibility. Moonlight is just sunlight reflecting off of the moon's surface, so it wouldn't be nearly strong enough. From what I know of, the moon doesn't emit rays and whatnot that give off actual power.
You are probably wondering why I posed the topic question to begin with-I was thinking of a Superman-like supervillain who draws his powers from moonlight and the gravitional pull of the moon on the earth.
Like Superman is a living solar battery, this guy is a living lunar one.
Shtick to solar man.It's the best there is.
Been done.
Characters that draw their powers from the moon seem so much more mysterious and in somewhat sinister in nature-
Moon Knight, Moonstone, etc.
