To Mars,use the marsian rocks/crystals on the surface to create energy and no further import. 1

I have been posting here two times before and my posts have been removed becouse my posts have been hypothetically. So here i am again but now i am following the rulles i am not Promoting, selling, recruiting, coursework and thesis posting.
I just wanna have a healty discussion.
So i think we can make a device purely out of stone so we can use it to charge the rovers (aka explore further) and fulfil our energy needs on the planet without importing more from planet earth.

Mining Mars would be a novelty. Oh, thats "marsian" not martian. My bad.

still trying to understand the stone battery charger system. what kind of rocks do you use and can I get one for my phone?

In any case, this is a non-problem, because we don't "import" power from Earth, every rover to date has used solar panels, which are truckloads more efficient than hot (actually, less frozen) rocks.

Yes i have heard about solar power and mars has alot of dust storms to what is your point? @1503-44
Think about rock and crystals a sustainable reliable energy source whithout having to mine under the ground @miningman yes that is something new.
sorry oldestguy, i did not know.

IRstuff so you are going to shoot a rocket to mars with a 40% failure rate to find life? When you could in theory build a robot that make a device that can give electricity to the future robot's we send to the planet.
Lets do the energy first and then trying to detect life, the rockets now have to carry less weigth.

"I wonder how the myriad of Mars landers and rovers managed to work without your insights."
thinking outside of the box does not require your insights eighter but here you are and the rovers can and should do better and so can you. (don't kiss the next generation of childeren you create to sleap at night with that mouth)

Good questions (good sarcasm) the stone's are the makers of (electricity pitzo electricity to be precice) all the time. You use granite rock and slate that could be created or found on mars.

You will get them for your phone do you know why @cvg?

You are wrong here.
Crystals and stones are more efficient less waistfull generate more energy on the planet that has countless of duststorms that clean the solarpanels sometimes but most of the time it's not good.
Crystals and stones function at hot and cold temperatures all year long.
You could also bring nuclear powered rovers and pollute the surface (40% failure rate) with radioactivity and isotopes not common on the planet.

QAnon already cornered the marisian rocks market.

yes funny i am reading the gardian article about it, so Nasa sayed this about it: No, NASA is not hiding kidnapped children on Mars

People make me laugh we live on a strange world.

NASA is presenting alternative facts. They believe in climate change.
