A thermal transpiration generator system includes a parabolic dish, a secondary reflector receiving solar energy from the parabolic dish, and a carrier tube directing solar energy from the secondary reflector to a thermal transpiration generator. The thermal transpiration generator includes a sealed vacuum container, a horizontally disposed rotatable shaft within the sealed vacuum container, bearings supporting the rotatable shaft, a first set of vanes secured to the rotatable shaft for rotation therewith, a second set of vanes secured to the rotatable shaft for rotation therewith, a high rpm flywheel secured to the shaft between the first and second sets of vanes, an electric generator operatively coupled to the rotatable shaft to be driven by rotation of the rotatable shaft, and a solar energy distribution system for receiving solar energy from the carrier tube and directing light to each of the first and second sets of vanes. |
