P4_4 The Solar Cell Efficiency of Superman

2013 
The paper investigates how efficiently Superman must absorb energy from the Sun's emission spectrum to be able to perform flight for 8 hours at a constant altitude. A solar cell efficiency of 656000% is calculated, which seemingly disobeys the law of conservation of energy assuming the model of Superman as a solar cell is reasonable.
