“Energy for all,ncontrolled by none.”
- No Single Point of Control
– No entity can unilaterally start, stop, or redirect energy flow. - Anti-Betrayal by Design
– Hardware/firmware cannot be remotely disabled or subverted. - Open Reproducibility
– All designs, code, and test data are public under CERN-OHL-W v2 (strong copyleft for hardware). - Energy as a Commons
– Access is a right, not a service. No metering, no billing, no permission. - Zero Surveillance
– Power beams carry only energy, never data. No telemetry beyond safety heartbeat.

No rare earths. No conflict minerals. Fully recyclable.
| Item | Unit Cost | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Launch to 0.5 AU | $100/kg | Via nuclear-electric tug (after 2040) |
| ISH hardware | $2B | Mass production at scale |
| Total per 10 GW ISH | $12B | = $1.20/W |
| LCOE (30 yr, 99% CF) | $0.022/kWh | Beats all terrestrial sources |
Global deployment (30 TW):
- Peak annual investment: $150B/year (2040–2080)
- Equivalent to 0.15% of global GDP or 3% of current global military spending
Sun (0.5 AU)
↓ 15,000 W/m²
ISH: 40% PV → 6,000 W/m² DC
↓ 85% RF conversion
Microwave beam (5.8 GHz)
↓ 80% transmission efficiency (diffraction-limited)
MOR (GEO): 90% rectification → DC
↓ 85% re-transmit
Ground beam
↓ 90% rectenna
AC to microgrid
End-to-end efficiency: 23%
→ 10 GW ISH → 2.3 GW continuous to grid
But: 2.3 GW × 24/7 × 365 = 20 TWh/year = 2 million homes
And sunlight is free forever.
- Chip: Open-source RISC-V with physical unclonable function (PUF)
- Boot: Verified chain from mask ROM (immutable)
- Firmware: Signed by multi-sig council (public keys on IPFS)
- GRN broadcasts:
AUTH_REQ {node_id, pubkey, timestamp} - MOR verifies via on-chain registry (e.g., Ethereum L2 or Celestia DA)
- If valid, MOR sends ephemeral session key
- Beam activates only while GRN sends heartbeat every 50 ms
- No heartbeat = beam defocuses in <100 ms
No human can override this. Not even the builder.

| MOR | Continental Federations | Regional DAO (e.g., AfriHEC, PanAsiaHEC) |
| GRN | Local Trusts | Direct democracy (town hall or liquid voting) |

- Operates under:
- Outer Space Treaty (1967)
- Moon Agreement (1979) — interpreted as common heritage of mankind
- Explicitly prohibited:
- Weaponization (beam power density capped at 1 kW/m²)
- Data collection (no sensors beyond beam alignment)
- Exclusive ownership (all infrastructure is inalienable commons)
This isn’t a fantasy. It’s a buildable specification. You can:
- Fork the repo: [https://github.com/iamGodofall/heliosphere?spm=a2ty_o01.29997173.0.0.63785171owSYCV]
- Simulate: Use open tools (GMAT, CST Studio, Python beam models)
- Build a node: Start with a 1-kW ground rectenna (cost: ~$1,000)
- Govern: Form a local energy trust in your community
The Sun gives us 10,000× more energy than we need.
The technology to harvest it exists today.
The only missing piece is the will to build it as a commons—not a commodity.
This spec ensures that if it’s built, it cannot be betrayed.
