Good. Two extremely distant domains.
Let’s push them into contradiction-pressure and then mutate under utility constraint.

==== Domain A: power generation ====
Domain B: comets passing close to Earth

Contradiction to force:
Comets are unpredictable, fast, destructive, and mostly empty space — so they seem useless for stable power generation.
Yet: extract sustained power from transient objects moving at extreme velocity and distance.

Utility target:
A scalable power infrastructure concept that converts comet fly-by physics or composition into harvestable energy without needing to land on or capture the comet.

Constraints
* Must work without capturing or tethering the comet.
* Must be safely deployable from Earth-orbit or lunar orbit.
* Must use physical realities already known (materials, fields, plasma, gravitation).
* No “magic tech”.

==== ### ====

An orbital array of superconducting induction rings positioned along predicted near-Earth comet trajectories.
As a comet’s ionized coma and tail pass through the magnetic field geometry of the rings, it induces massive transient plasma-magnetic field interactions, generating:
* High-current surges
* Harvestable electromagnetic pulses
* Energy stored as supercapacitor charge

The faster the comet, the more powerful the induction.

Equivalent analogy:
Like a gigantic Faraday flashlight, but the shaking magnet is a 100-km ionized plasma stream moving at 60 km/s.

===== Most thinking tries to attach to or mine a comet. =====
Here, the comet is the armature passing through an orbital magnetic stator.

Reverse of usual logic:
Don’t chase the comet. Make it drive the generator.

==== ### ====

A comet’s mass and velocity create gravitational disturbances measurable with LISA-class interferometry.
Instead of observing them, exploit controlled gravitational flex in massive tensioned orbital structures (think Dyson-net panels).

The comet’s gravity produces oscillation → mechanical strain → piezoelectric power conversion.

A gravitational guitar string generating power when plucked by comets.

==== Comet tails contain: ====
* Ionized water vapor
* CO, CO₂, ammonia, methane
* Free ions

Deploy plasma-skimming kites positioned in magnetic fields to capture charged particles into orbital cryo-storage.
Convert to fuel cells → on-orbit propellant and power source.

Power not from electricity, but chemical energy distilled from comet tails.

==== Tiny controlled pellets released ahead of the comet, causing hyper-velocity micro-impacts. ====
Convert kinetic energy into plasma heat → radiothermal generators.

Essentially micro-thermonuclear-like heat spikes without actual fusion.
