Abstract

This paper investigates the potential power that could be harnessed from a neutron star using Faraday’s law, and finds it to be a rate of 8.2 × 1020 W. We concluded that a rate of transfer of energy this high would be enough to injure Thor in a scene from Marvel’s ”Avengers: Infinity War”.
