Duan Baoyan leads the Zhuri project, which aims to demonstrate megawatt-class energy transmission from space by 2030. The project proposes using microwave beams to potentially alter typhoon intensity and path by heating moisture in storm systems.

Zhuri envisions a kilometer-scale solar power station in geostationary orbit, generating gigawatt-level electricity. In 2022, a 75-meter test tower was built to simulate the process, achieving milestones like one-to-many microwave transmission, allowing power to be sent to multiple receivers at once.
