Abstract: We could connect platforms to fiber optic cable(s) from below (insulated or not insulated with reflective materials, possibly magnified) large enough to power (and also push up) a platform to levitate - when there is no sun for alternate free power. The laser can 1) be used to send and receive data at high speeds (or the satellite/platform can use microwaves), 2) be used to power the satellite. The laser can have a pivot/swivel and targeting system;  should platform veer a little from its hover position.     We could also connect wind turbines (light spinning blades) connected by conducting cables at intervals all the way from the low orbital satellite down to the ground to generate power for laser or upwards to power the satellite's thrust.     There could be mylar flapping wings, or helicopter blades, or four bladed helicopters or internal propellers.     The platform could be made of the same material as microfiche or plastic or both.    Calculator solar panels covering above and below face, surface of entire platform to convert sunlight to energy (light weighted) batteries.     Additionally the bottom of the platform could also be made of calculator solar panels where land (ground level) surrounding the platform's location up above are below large rows of rotating (to aim possibly with RFID, RFIP GPS, micro chip - to direct the reflected sunlight directly at the platform's bottom solar panels) reflective (eg. mirrors) to reflect sunlight to the bottom of the platform (good for desert).     If the platform's calculator's solar panels are wide enough the satellite may be able to maintain height.     Then we could use 3 - D gyroscope as well as (micro chip to maintain same position), eg.  when winds blow... and even lower back to ground when wind gusts are too strong.     To power the lasers below we could build Gravity Chain Machines and/or solar or wind farms.     This platform could be used as low orbital satellites.      Or the platform could be used for elevator to space.     We could use elastic tether and and/or magnetic levitate initial boost. The solar panels could fold inwards and as the sun is shining (from above or below), then fold outwards.    Furthermore we could use this technology for floating camera for any and all outdoor events, such as sports (eg. football games...), outdoor festivals (eg. musical). One option is to aim three to four lasers or plasma lasers (probably low powered) (from the ground power source with pivoting laser head to adjust aim at the satellite if and when it moves) at the satellite (from the ground) to feed energy (eg. light weight solar cells such as those found on solar celled calculators). Furthermore GPS/RFID/RFIP (on the satellite) or laser targeting from the ground (with pivoting, and/or lock on targeting, system (eg. Wii and/or gyroscopic).     We could also use very light fiberoptic cables to send the laser power (and communications eg. down load streaming video, versus the satellite carrying antennas; we could also power it with huge numbers of nano radios with one for the sole purpose of dedicated to communications).    The plasma laser (with target locking and pivot/swivel) could be used to power any and/or all of the above uses of the low orbital satellite above...
