SOLAR RADIANT ENERGY CONCENTRATOR

摘要

Solar radiant energy concentrator for collecting sunbeams in the reflective funnel-shaped elements (1). Sunrays pass through the holes (7) of the plate (2) and they spread by means of the inclined surfaces (8), which form an elongated canal towards the concave funnels (6), fixed in the centre of an imaginary circle formed by the canals' endings in the subsequent layer. In the same manner, the beams pass through holes (10) of the reflective funnels (9) of plate (4) by means of the canals in the subsequent layer (5) and after they are reflected at the outside of the reflective funnel (12) they spread towards the central reflective funnel (13). Each layer concentrates the beams coming out 7 times. The solar radiant energy concentrator can be used for converting solar energy into electric energy while protecting the solar elements from harmful cosmic radiation and reducing the height of the concentrator.
