{PG,1 A radiant energy concentrator system for maximizing the amount of radiation flux impinging and being absorbed in a particular area. The concentrator system includes a stationary spherical reflector which is fixedly secured to a base surface or ground element. A receiver having an extended length in a particular direction extends partially internal to the concave spherical envelope of the reflector and is adapted to be maintained in a direction substantially parallel to the incident radiation impinging and being reflected from the spherical reflector. The receiver is displaced in a manner maintaining the extended length of the receiver in a parallel direction to the incident radiation responsive to directional ray variations of the incident radiation impinging on the spherical reflector. Secondary radiation concentration devices are mounted on the receiver for reflecting radiation initially reflected from the receiver back onto the receiver for absorption.
