We make a single straight pipe the diameter of earth’s orbit, and just slightly offset it to go near the surface of the sun.
We pipe water at one end and send it off while earth continues it’s orbit. We wait six months and we’ll meet the other end of the pipe which will have nice hot steam arriving from the sun. We use the hot steam for six months until it condenses back to liquid water, then restart the process when we meet the other end of pipe again.
I GOT IT! I FIGURED IT OUT!!!
