Ahh you've come to the right person!

To the untrained eye it may just be another high-voltage ruby laser guidance array.

However we hopologists have learned to look beneath such obvious camouflage and recognize it for what it really is -- a late 1970's imperial storm trooper siege weapon, colloquially referred to as a 'Lucas engine'

God Taro! Youre a Great one for the links!

I was kinda thinking solar power was involved: but ive only ever seen the flat panel variety before

I remember reading about channeling solar power through fibre optics for use in the subterrainean dwellings - that some speculate we will have many of in the not to distant future- now thats its cheaper to do so, advances in engineering and technology and the shortage of land due to urban sprawl >>
