richard Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Do you mean using a parabolic mirror with a shutter or something?. That first post is rather lacking in detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Externet Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 Yes. Just use a mirror and bounce solar light signaling to the moon... and beyond. If you glue the mirror onto a speaker cone, will transmit the audio modulating the sunlight. Miguel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 well, Until it goes Cloudy, or it`s Night time, or the receiver is a few metres away, or.... well lets just say I`m not ready to deep 6 my mobile fone just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 The light would not be very well collimated so after quite a short distance the signal would be greatly reduced. Far easier to use a laser if you want it to be visible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted March 4, 2007 Share Posted March 4, 2007 this may sound kinda Obvious, but doesn`t all our Comunication energy Already come from the Sun? (albeit indirectly) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
