Luna Ring.

Send wireless power from the moon 24 hours a day. This is the project of the future.

The Luna Ring is an energy megaproject presented by the Shimizu Corporation, Japan's leading construction company, with the goal of transforming the moon into a gigantic source of energy to deliver clean energy back to Earth continuously and sustainably.

The main idea of the project is to install solar panels throughout the equator of the moon, covering a distance of more than 11,000 kilometers and a width of about 400 kilometers, relying on automated robotic technology to construct and use lunar resources as raw materials to reduce transportation restrictions from Earth.

The key advantage of the Moon is the absence of an atmosphere and variable weather, allowing it to receive solar energy more efficiently and consistently than on Earth. The energy produced is converted into microwave waves or lasers and sent to Earth receiving stations, which can be converted back into electrical energy for practical use.

The approach is in line with the development of the "Space-Based Solar Power" (SBSP) technology that is gaining international attention. In 2023, research from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) under the MAPLE project proved the feasibility of wireless transmission through space for the first time. At the same time, the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) is constantly planning and testing microwave transmission systems.

However, projects of this nature also face significant challenges - in terms of huge budgets, transportation technology, and space infrastructure - scientists estimate that it may take decades to develop before they can be put to work at the world's core infrastructure level.

In summary, "Luna Ring" is a futuristic energy vision that reflects mankind's efforts to seek limitless sources of clean energy, even within the stage of ideas and research, a milestone in space and energy technology in the 21st century.
