[net.space] Relativistic Electron Power Transmission

dietz.usc-cse@UDel-Relay@sri-unix (09/22/82)

  Electrons are a bad idea because of energy losses from synchrotron
radiation.  If the bending magnets are large enough this isn't a
problem (how large?).  I also worry about magnetic fields in the solar
wind and the lunar soil deflecting the beam.
