Basically, would it be possible to base some electrical or other type of machinery or technology on the transfer of different types of energy through a vacuum such as heat through radiation or light?
Is there any technology which uses this at the moment, but with an actual vacuum as compared to fibre optics or something?
Surely to the extent where you wouldn't necessarily have to pump the gas out to create a vacuum surely this would be cheaper than using actual materials?
Anyway just a thought, any answers would be appreciated.
