Inverse Dyson Spheres Around Black Holes: Speculative Energy Harvesting and Its Technosignature Implications

To the point

Researchers led by Tiger Yu-Yang Hsiao propose building an energy-harvesting megastructure around a black hole that could collect far more power than a star, making the black hole a potential technosignature of intelligent life, though the idea remains speculative and unsupported by evidence.

Intelligent Extraterrestrial Civilizations May be Harvesting Energy from Black Holes Using Dyson Spheres

Researchers from the National Tsing Hua University in Taiwan, led by Tiger Yu-Yang Hsiao, searched for evidence of Dyson spheres, which is a megastructure that completely encompasses a star and captures a large percentage of its power output. However, this time, they were seeking an inverse Dyson sphere (IDS), which could technically harvest energy from a black hole in a similar fashion. Not only would the energy output of a black hole exceed that of a star, the waste heat produced from an IDS can actually be detected by our current telescopes. Plus, there are no known metals that could
