At the core of this technology is a practical and low cost mechanism to build near perfect parabolic shape in 3D environment. The mechanism can easily be adjusted to generate any size, any focal length parabolic shape.
The aim of the technology is to lower the cost of CSP based solar energy collection. With this type of solar collectors, which is known as SRTA (stationary receiver, tracking absorber), there is no physical movement of the mirror. Because of no physical movement, the cost of this type is very low compared to other classical CSP collectors. Additionally, because of monocoque construction, the focal quality is much better than others, which results in higher temperature generation. Considering that 75% of the energy need of the industry is “heat”, this technology can provide a massive amount of solar energy in a compact, low cost, yet in a speedy construction manner to many industrial applications. We invite representatives of different industries to adapt the technology to their applications. The following projects are adaptations of this construction technology into different applications.
Application #1: High-temperature massive scale CSP type solar collector constructed on desert sand with “0” carbon footprint.
Where would you get the most empty land?: Desert,
Where would you get the most sunshine? : Desert,
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could sculpt the sand in a near perfect parabolic shape, solidify the sculpted sand shape into “stone” without using cement, cover it with reflective material and clean it automatically every night without using water. And use the generated massive heat for desalination, mining, power generation, or whatever you desire! Believe it or not, this is not a dream and it is possible. We are looking for brave partners who would accompany us to commercialize this revolutionary technology.
Application #2: Low Temperature, Low cost Solar collector for medium to small size heat generation applications
This project intends to lower the cost of solar energy collection for low-temperature applications. There are a massive amount of applications that require below 300 C. This collector is designed to be transported on a standard truck bed yet constructed at the destination in a few hours. Having no physical movement, the collector is low-cost and practical.
Application #3: Medium-scale temperature solar heat generation from the building facade
The building on the side is known as “Walkie-Talkie” building. It is famous for melting cars on the street. Although not intended, the near parabolic-shaped facade of the building focused the solar energy to a street nearby melting cars. Now imagine shaping the south-facing facade of the building with our patented technology to collect the energy intentionally. This would collect enough energy to meet some of the energy demand of the building. We are looking for brave architects and construction firms to jointly develop this technology.
Application #4: High-temperature solar furnace with small footprint optimized for high latitude environments
Solar furnace requires high temperature. This mirror combination has a very small footprint yet it is unaffected by the solar movement. It can be used for high-temperature industrial heat generation.
Application #5: We call this “spectacular rose”. It is an architectural marvel designed for low latitude desert environments with super-efficient power generation.
This is a marvelous design that can be constructed using our patented construction technology. It is a combination of 3 parabolic reflectors optimized for different hours of the day. No movement of mirrors or any part whatsoever. A giant “spectacular rose” in the desert would be a marvelous sight and it would be generating a huge amount of power. Forget eye-sore solar collectors, this would be an architectural landmark generating power. We are looking for capable partners to commercialize this technology.
Application #6: This is called “spectacular crescent”. It looks like the Turkish flag but in reality, it is a low-cost, medium-temperature solar heat generation unit.
This is a single parabolic reflector facing south. It is constructed using our patented technology. During the day solar energy is reflected toward the star without any physical movement. This makes it a low cost, low-temperature solar collector while making it a marvelous architectural piece. Considering that cleaning of the mirror can be done automatically with little or no water, makes this design very attractive.
