@HabaneroTck What size house are you in that draws 30kWh/day, man? That's gotta be a hypocritical Al Gore size mansion you're running. Learn to turn off a light and turn the hot water down a few degrees. You'll save a ton of money so you can give it to your car insurance people. ;)
30kwh/day isn't all that much. At today's ~$0.15/kwh, that's only about a $135 power bill for the month. I'm trying my best to get power consumption that low. Even with no heat/ac on, our house still consumes ~35kwh/day, and that's with low water heater setting, 3 insulation blankets on it, all cf bulbs, etc, and it's smaller than 2000 sq ft.
@sailcats77 I applaud your efforts. Although I do live alone, I still live at the standard in which I set. I have roughly 1000 sq ft that I heat and cool. I actually cool this space with box fans and one 25,000 BTU air conditioner. I set my hot water at 160 degrees. I burn LED lights in track lighting in the main room where I spend the most time. The other lights I burn run nothing over 60 watts. I heat with a wood stove and keep it comfy in the winter.
@sailcats77 My cost is 35 dollars in the winter and 100 for 3 mos in the summer with the AC going. I'm working on getting a solar water heater set outside to preheat the water going into my tank. I do know that a member of my family has had great success with running solar panels (only 60 watts) with a grid tie inverter for knocking down the power bill. Harbor Freight offers this 60 watt system. Add that grid tie inverter which is cheap also and you're well on your way. Go LED and not CF.
@chop98 To your car insurance company, ya I hate forced car insurance laws we have in the USA. I now have converted to using an electric and pedal bike, I charge it at work and at home. I save 130 dollar per mouth on insurance. Then I got a kilowatt to track down what uses power. Most of electronics burn power while they are off so I unplug them now. My microwave uses 2W constantly. After my sister moved out I have cut back on AC, I have got my electric bill down to $65 from $150.
@randomizerman That's what I like to hear. :) We don't have to have their plush offerings so much to live a good life. Sometimes the hassle is far less without all the latest gizmos and gadgets. Glad to hear your power bill is going down. :)
@chop98 This is only the start. I plan to switch to just my net-book, and shut my modem off while not in use soon. I am also thinking about lowering the water heater and maybe even disconnecting the fridge. I am even thinking about being homeless, and traveling on my bike. :-) nomad any one!
So what kind of steam engine would You use in this system to drive the generator,and where could You get one? This is a big problem with solar,and alternative energy in general, the real expense of the actual gear,as well as maintaining it never seems to be mentioned. I'd love to set a place up with just what You're showing, but lines on paper aren't really helping. Show a working prototype and and factor in costs of production,give us something to work with here.
Dude, with all do respect but that idea is nothing new , it has been around for like 20 years now...the problem is the expander that you will get to use (generator) so far no one has managed to come up with something efficient enough to give 6KW and affordable , so ya i think your not really offering anything new here.
the goverment has always known how to do this....its the electric companies who hate solar...solar = fewer and fewer customers for them, more and more people off grid, less profit....keep up the good works
@nexus1g G'day... Um, I didn't know that. Been more worried the PV Manufacturer'd void the Warranty, for non-standard use of product... But, the ideaof a Patent is to prevent people from doing a thing. I want all the Sheeple to Retrofit with DIY SunFoils. I don't have temperament to pretend 2B a businessman, but I'm great as a Mad Scientist. I've done SunFoils OpenSource, so it sure ain't patentable NOW ! Pure Science, free from Sales pressures !
Furthermore, this past couple of years the concurrent experiment is to see how long humans take to adopt a good idea, offered free, because it works. So far it's 3 weeks for a Kangaroo to sit under a SunFoil in the rain, & 6 months for my son to allow one on his vehicle. And he's an Auto Electrician ! A friend watched 22 months before making & fitting the 4th prototype... #s 2, 3, & 4 are all in use, & working well. Search 'solar thermal ramjet' to see where NASA ranks..!
One leaps at the conclusion your Q? may be 2 me (?)...
Answer is, no I'm not making the SunFoils or selling them. I have one, my son has one, & my daughter rides a pushbike. Theres nothing patentable, I just recombined known technology to make the vehicle more fuel-efficient.
If you want one, watch my videos & make your own. Set up a factory if you like. I'm a Pensioner. Just wanted to save fuel & money & emissions. Have fun. Enjoy !
Apologies for not including your account name on previous port. I'm new to this game. I've posted a swag of vid's about my project. The latest being "SunFoil Thermodynamics, Aerodynamics, & the Solar-Thermal Ramjet-Effect. ". Interstersed with stuff shot on the Endangered Species Sanctuary. My aim is to share a good idea, because it works. Your comments most welcome. Thanks. Ciao.
Well done. Excellent re-use of a dead TV lens... A house "needing" 30 Kw-Hr/Day is a tad greedy , I live on 0.2 to 0.5 Kw/Hr daily. But I'm a Hillbilly , & quite frugal... I taught my car to use 33% less fuel by fitting a streamlined P.V. & regulator , to unload the Battery from the Crankshaft... Check the "SunFoil Short-talk (Update)" clip , among My Movies. Includes the CSIRO evaluation (Commonwealth Scientific Industrial Research Organisation - Australian). Ciao...
in my county power company got smart and change miters ,that you can not feed power back to the grid ,to do so they have to install special miter and all the equipment must bi certified ,+cost few hundred dollars for application and fees to get net miter installed .so we getting green OK
This is great, but we need a batty system so we can run energy all night long. I work nights and sleep during the day. I am up all night on my days off. I need energy at night. What type of battery packs do we have to capture this energy and use later? How long will they last, how do we maintain them and keep them operational? What would the service life be? 40 years, 80 years? We need battery packs to last life times.
Use a grid tied inverter to convert your generated electricity into useable AC. Use the grid as your battery system and watch your electric bills pay YOU instead of them.
@Raezerfist Right I think it is great. I live in Seattle we only get about 30 sunny days a year. Winter time is very cold and dark, and I would like battery power to last a few months. Is that possible now a days, and if not when will it last a winter, so I dont have to burn fuel to live?
@MrAppleseed88 I've though about putting miniature hydro-electric turbines on all my pipings so that any running water will also contribute to charging the batteries.
@MrAppleseed88 if you have an aquaponics farm or fountains with constant running water this might be a solution. could work for the washing machine, dishwasher, water heater, and all other pipes as well
@lester5192 I'm all for alternate energy, and solar will eventually be accepted. But my understanding is that solar intensity of 100W per sq meter is considered good. One kilowatt for the size of the lens he was showing seems high by almost a factor of 10. If a system so small could do what he's saying, I think solar would have been much more successful already. Anybody got some proven numbers?
@srobidoux i still think people are afraid and kinda self sinister about having it better. imagine having a car that ran during the day and at the same time held even more energy in a battery for the night. people like dealing with gasoline, gas stations, etc. gives them a reason to bitch and stress. but solar powered cars would also prevent explosions and reduce air pollution. probably too much politics involved too.
take those panels and put them in the basement.first you take a parabolic solar concentrator and put an robotic arm on it to follow the suns path.then make the focal point a mirrored shape cone that will send the light down through mirrored glass tubing straight into a mirrored shape glass box inside the mirrored shape box will be several solar panels that spin to keep them cool the mirrored box must have the mirrors inward to reflect the light sending from the parabolic focal point.ken van horn
since you like solar power try using exhaust from your furnace to melt the snow and ice take the exhaust and tee it into your gutter drain pipe and on top of the gutters put holes in a round shape cap... that way the heated air will melt those ice dams on your roof
2.) Then there’s the question of time-delay in solar heating of the resupply water. Is there a minimum temperature required for inlet water on the heat exchanger?
1.) There’s a helluva lot more to this system than shown here. The solar heated water has to be pushed upstream toward super-heated, high-pressure steam. There’s got to be some sort of check to keep that high-pressure steam from flowing back toward the cooler water (lower pressure) in the solar heater as well as some type of high pressure pump.
This is a nice system, but as ussual the costs are tremendous. Would like to find cheaper panels and storage systems. What I dont understand is why these systems are not being included in new home builds, then the price can be part of the mortgage. I have seen some do their own for low cost, so am assuming that the high cost is from the labor, which is sad, since this is what we need to do for a better and cheaper life.
Free energy technology exists!But the Big corporations spend millions to ensure that information does not spread to the masses,Get a real free energy motor at LT-MAGNET-MOTORdotCOM ,take part in the revolution!
like the clip. check out my home energy stuff using Rooftop Wind Turbines and solar panels on my roof. I just won a Green Design Contest with my product on EarthDay. Friends and Subscribers Welcome.
sounds like a nice idea, but all i see is a drawing. I didn't see any actual steam piping or a steam heat exchanger, pumping system to keep the water flowing or any of the actual engineering requirements that the system would require.
Knowing the price of a steam heat generator would be nice.
Not to mention the water chemistry. how would you control the build up of scale ? In the military they use chemicals to scavenge excess oxygen for prevent scale build up. Sounds like an inefficient system
Such efforts are sure to be counted when majority of the Global citizens start using solar and other green energy sources for their daily electricity needs.
any small boy "or girl" who has ever taken a magnifying glass to an ant (sorry ants) will find this easy to believe-some of even tried this on ourselves (sorry hand) with flesh boiling results-I have no problem seeing how this could work-BIG TIME
Great video! Solar Power will become a great energy resource in the future! Here in Hawaii - we have lots of sun and many people are choosing wind turbines, and solar panels as a great alternative to oil, coal and natural gas! Clean energy is the future of the world! See pristinesun . com/what-we-do.html for information on how to save 20% on your electrical bill every month & get solar panels installed for free for your business or non-profit company in any state in US! Aloha & Mahalo!!
can someone explain to me why we'r invading countries and killing people for oil, when we can simply get power for free from solar/wind/thermal etc ????? the goverment could easily set up a program to install such a system as this, but they'r not gonna cos they want more money from us by using oil!! oil oil oil!! oil!
Ever try to power transport with Solar?. It takes a lot of hours to charge even a small car at a rate of 6kW. Now try and scale that up to power a big truck like the kind needed to transport food and other goods to market.
Also there is Capacity factor: You only get the 6kW for a few hours when the sun is overhead.
The reason we don't run everything on solar is not due to "greed" or any oil company conspiracy. It's simple physics.
This system is flawed because the system can only work effectively for an extended period if the water is ultra pure, i.e. it contains no dissolved salts, which ordinary water contains a lot of and expensive treatments are continuously required to purify the water first. Ordinary water will at the point where steam is generated deposit the salts and blockages will occur fairly quickly.
@TwattyBird Ahhhh - distilled water .... and how much energy is required to produce distilled water and then you must have a cooling system (pumps which will require electricity) to convert the generated steam back to water and recirculate (pumps which will require electricity) that back to the Freshnell lens. Seems to me one will need so much additional power just to keep the system running, that not much power will remain for household utilities.
@oomblikkies You'd make a horrible engineer! lol. . It was an outline of a concept. You should spend more energy on finding solutions and improvements than trying to find reasons why something won't work. Those who think positively are more creative and are the ones who actually create things of value.
I invented a breakthrough source of energy which violates the law of energy conservation. I have a PROOF (based on the Maxwell's equations) that there are electrodynamic phenomena which violate the law of energy conservation. Making a 6kW generator will cost $1200 in mass production, value of the energy produced YEARLY $5400. I am looking for $6M for a prototype and patents, min. $50M for small scale production.

I have a PROOF that there are electrodynamic phenomena which contradict the law of energy conservation. It will cost about $1200 to make a 6 kW generator in mass production. Value of the energy produced yearly about $5400. I am looking for $300 000 for a prototype and for $3M for patents.

we COULD make giant satellites that gather huge amounts of sunlight and then convert it into energy, and then the energy will be sent to earth. no more gas, no more oil, and no more FOSSIL FUELS. I also suggest that we put giant windmills or we can put hXc (hardcore) kids windmilling in very windy places and get more energy. However this plan could cost billions of dollars to switch from our current energies and those hXc kids aren't gonna windmill and roundhouse for free.
hahahaha omg! you are such a genious! maybe this will replace nuclear power! I love the other genious asking the questions. "darr how much power will this system produce" This is such a break through discovery! thats why everyone is doing it! the power companies are switching to fresno lenses and will be powering everybodies home! so will this power my TV in the middle of the night? sir bullshitter sir waste of timer sir get a fucking life because you are wasting your time hahahaha
Some questions are, 1. The LCD screen Fresnel Lens is designed to operate indoors away from strong UV light. How long will it last in direct sunlight before yellowing due to the effects of UV ?
2. How much water is required to produce 1kWhr of electrical energy for a given sunlight strength.?
@fred73plus Not only that but it has to be sunny out- at least solar panels work when it's cloudy. Even if he's NOT bullshitting you you'd need about 3 of these systems to actually run a home reliably, not to mention the extra batteries. And that's if you're conservative with your energy.
I would be more interested in just running them when it's sunny, using it's power then, and selling the extra power back into the grid.
@TheYoosuf it will cost u all the money u can afford!..u do not see this guy is scam??..6 kw on 10 sqm...lol..means 600 watts per square meter....and the full solar power in full summer 0 parallel in 100 watts!!...
@GRATZIANI2002 While I'm not endorsing this guy's product (I've not seen it working), I believe that the solar energy flux density on earth is approx 1.4 KW / Meter squared. He is claiming 60% efficiency so I guess that's where he gets the 600 watts. I don't know where you got the value of 100 watts / Meter squared.
@tjsbbi u think or u know is 1.4 KW/m x m?..because for this value i suppose the earth surface would be 180 Celsius, we will not discussing now..not even at 30 km high...many guys are thinking that wind or solar means free any power forever..at parallel 45 the solar power full insun 12 o'clock is around 85 w / m x m, I'll come back w/ full data..
@GRATZIANI2002 Here is an article that goes into it. They quote an NIST value 1366 Watts/ meter squared. This will be reduced as you go further from the equator and will be reduced by reflection in the atmosphere. They claim a value of about 1000 W/meter sq at the equator - called the "standard sun" and this is the value used by Solar Companies. This guy here claims 60% efficiency which would give hims his 600 W/meter sq as a comparative power output. (solar.smps.us/solar-energy)
sorry but the only way that will work even remotely properly is if this is focused on the sun at all times and frankly its too large and would need energy to make it track the sun..if totally aligned then it would work excellent but that would be for about one minute a day..there are better ways to achieve this
Great video...I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a video about it called, "Preparing for Peak Oil"....
I love it!....except that last comment at the end. His proposed system would require an inverter as well to make the turbine's electricity compatible with our AC appliances.
@GooseThunderfoot Umm, no, generators produce alternating current. There will be no need for DC to AC conversion, which means no waste heat in the conversion process.
did you know that the sun gives us more than 200,000x the amount of energy that we use today... there is no reason as to why we should not all be solar powered
I built my own Solar Panels for under $100 and a Solar Water Heater for UNDER $10 that are currently powering my 1700 Square Foot home! I used the simple plans at:
it seems to me that the focus of the suns rays are very important to heating the water like burning things with a magnifying glass. So wouldn't this be altered with the rotation of the earth and the suns position in the sky? just wondering if you would need to compinsate for that.
I probably wouldn't of never got my solar power system if it wasn't for his guide tinyurl(dot)com/nxapnu, and the stuff this guy is talking about goes way over my head like using the heat to boil water and using the energy to IDK but definately interesting.
Do you have a real generator that's 60% efficient or is that an estimate? How about running the bot water back into the boiler, then you don't need the other panels to preheat the water.
Ridiculous waste of money! There is no such thing as solar power. Really just think about it and youll see its nonsense.
How does one propose that we could even harvest energy from the Sun, our star thats billions of miles away? Are we going to go run some lines from there and stick it into solar plants?
How does the energy get here to Earth? Magic? It surprises me how many people fall for this liberal lie every time it comes up every few years.
i feel sorry for you, ever thought about solar panels?, silicon crystals in the panels gets agitated by the sunrays and create energy wich is then transformed in to electricity, are you really that stupid or is it just an act?
this guy can't be so stupid, hes gotta be messing around. Even ancient folks new the power of the sun, just go outside. If your really believing yourself, think about the Earth, how does it warm in a -350 plus degree frozen space?
If scientists can create great machines using fire heat, then why cant you answer my question. Why is there no machine to take the heat of fire and turn it into energy for cars. Why can we not have fire pits in our homes and run the tv, radio and vaccuum? Its because your claim that just because its 90 degrees today it proves the Sun can create solar energy is bogus.
Makron5, how old are you? I would not associate conservative with Makron5 or environmentally ignorant. I look up to people like Charles Shultz who are go-getter entrepreneurs. Nice Work, keep it up
@Makron5 fire (heat energy) was one of our first forms of energy and we still use it today we just dont cut down trees to burn we use coal or gas, oil, and uranium.( they have more potential energy than wood)
Hey Makron, your id should be Moron5. What century are you from? I know conservatives are not the brightest people in the world but I'm sure even George Bush heard of solar panels. You make liberals seem smart.
Three ways of transferring energy, conduction, convection, radiation. Energy is never lost just converted. Conduction, energy transferred through solids. Convection is energy being transferred by air. Radiation is transmitted through electromagnetic waves, the sun produces infra-red radiation which heats the water, your body gives off infra-red radiation. Radiation unlike the other two can travel through a vacuum. Infra-red radiation is at a higher frequency therefore energy than visible light.
@Makron5 we get energy from the sun using solar panels, as always tech will get better with time. there are many other ways of collecting energy from the sun but its whats cost effective that wins, business cant break even, even if it benifits all mankind.
yeh this is stupid, sure the idea is good, but there are tons of people on youtube who use frenel lenses to show how they can power a stirling engine, this isnt a breakthrough, its a simple concept many have come up with years ago. the reason why no one actually uses it is cuz you need motors to rotate the collector to capture the sun rays, cuz the sun rays change througout the day.
Firstly, a check of the register reveals that no-one by the name of "Charles Shults" has received a knighthood. Secondly, the guy seems to have no web presence at all. Thirdly, if the invention provides power so cheaply, where is a working model? Would the person who posted this video mind addressing these questions, or tell us where we could look for answers?
Holly crap he's made a stick disappear... Dude you may have a draftsmen's table and some drafting paper but you need a lot more then that simple drawing and hey what do you even show the photovoltaic panels at all, you claim your using steam to generate your energy so what do you need the panels for? Like I said funny this guy has this great invention et not a working part on it.... By the way we tried the whole steam engine thing few years back, like over 80 years ago. Scammer...
Don't ya love these guys that use old TVs and stuff and think they've figured it out and now they'll rake the money in. Dude don't take this personal but don't you think MIT would have worked this out like...20 years ago. People don't be fooled into believing anything you see or hear. RESEARCH, EDUCATION and Realistic expectations. 6kw even in 2007 was around 20K much less now. Funny he didn't have this thing of his doing anything but sitting on the dirt, no wires no inverter a TV lens and dirt
Most homes use 30 kWh per day? My electricity bill for last winter (Dec-Jan) tells me we used and average of 8.4kWh per day - and we live in England - where it gets cold and wet all the time! Do Americans really use up to 30kWh per day?
Nah, it of course depends on your lifestyle, you can live without any electricity. It's not like you need a Tee Vee and a computer. Make alcohol, burn it in lamps. Get out more.
And we can make solar at 10 cent per kw, 50 cent in cold areas. Solar paint fit for conventional inkjet printers.
American homes are made so you have to be using either heating or air conditioning at all times pretty much, so they can just milk the money out of homeowners
You guys over there use a 240 volt system for residential applications we use 120 volt system which draws double the amperage than a 250 volt system, but you still have a point, and no, most Americans don't use that much power, however , some do. It's something that everyone needs to get on the bandwagon with to save.
Looks intriguing. I'd hate for something to bump the big magnifying glass and refocus the heat onto my roof and start a fire. But I'm sure a finished product would all be a single solid unit. Does it only work for park of the day?
I guess to prevent fire you would put a metal grill painted white around it - thus - metal doesnt catch fire(most metals) - and painted white it wont expand so rapidly as it deflects heat - if the pipes run underground and then up to the system heat could be gotten much more easily again, as for electric id mix a few panels with wind turbines, - but it does depend on where you live.
Point-focused concentrating solar thermal collectors need to be precisely aimed at the sun to work, so they need tracking mechanisms to follow the path of the sun across the sky throughout the day.
For now this technology is mostly used by utilities, who are building big solar power plants in the desert, mostly using reflective films in parabolic troughs and dishes. I have seen concentrating PV that uses fresnel lenses, but not solar thermal electric
IslandEnergySystems: Most telescopes today have a very inexpensive tracking system that could be adapted to follow the Sun with ease. So to say this would only be for mega operations is not quite true.
By concentrating 1000 watts per meter square energy of sun by fresnel lense (almost 1meter square) you are getting temperature rise almost to 1200 degree celsius in one inch square, imagine your flow of water in a pipe (copper) where this frensel lense is heating just a small portion to 1200 degree, do you know how much steam is necesary per minute to rotate the generator, is that small portion which you increase the temperature is enough to continuously to generte continuous amount..........
of steam to be able to rotate the generator, if continuously run water in the same pipe i dont think you will be able to make steam out of just a small portion of copper heated to 1200 degree.
you have to calculate the amount of water which you need every miniute to convert into 200 degree temperature steam and wat volume of water you will need per minute. also you will need condensing unit to reconvert this steam into water and return back to system for re use, ......
also your steam generation system needs to be capable to with stand high pressure and aslo high temperature, it should be stand different corrosion which may break your system , there are lot s of parameter has to be looked .
also you have to use so many number of lenses serially which will take lot of space or heating the pipe.
as I said you have to re convert the steam into water again as you vont need so much hot water for your domestic use,secondly it is better to use hot water ....
as you will need less time and energy to steam the warm or hot water, instead of using fresh water which will consume more energy.
imagine if your system needs I gallone of water to convert into steam at 200 degree celcesus per minute, are you able to make in one hour 60 gallone of water into steam? these are information which you have to caculate using thermodynamic engineering if you have enginering background in mechanics you will be able to calculate and fine the result before hand.
Fine, I like that you can do that so cheaply, but it still isn't something I could buy online and put on my roof, so it has little benefit to ordinary folks who want to put PV cells on their homes.

You have to realize that although PV cells have gotten up to almost 50% efficiency, these are small scale and very experimental (aka expensive) panels. The commercially available panels are still only around 20-25% efficient. Also, cost of maintenance, installation, and tracking systems should be included, but the cost for that would be minimal compared to the difference between that and a comparable PV system. I am not really sure how high this "high pressure" steam is, but I can't fault him
great tash

a house draws 30kWh/day...so if I take units, that's W * s / s so Watts. So a house draws 30kW, no indication of duration here.
Appart from this tiny but very important point, it's a nice installation.

@HabaneroTck What size house are you in that draws 30kWh/day, man? That's gotta be a hypocritical Al Gore size mansion you're running. Learn to turn off a light and turn the hot water down a few degrees. You'll save a ton of money so you can give it to your car insurance people. ;)

HabaneroTck 3 months ago
@chop98
30kwh/day isn't all that much. At today's ~$0.15/kwh, that's only about a $135 power bill for the month. I'm trying my best to get power consumption that low. Even with no heat/ac on, our house still consumes ~35kwh/day, and that's with low water heater setting, 3 insulation blankets on it, all cf bulbs, etc, and it's smaller than 2000 sq ft.
sailcats77 3 months ago
@sailcats77 I applaud your efforts. Although I do live alone, I still live at the standard in which I set. I have roughly 1000 sq ft that I heat and cool. I actually cool this space with box fans and one 25,000 BTU air conditioner. I set my hot water at 160 degrees. I burn LED lights in track lighting in the main room where I spend the most time. The other lights I burn run nothing over 60 watts. I heat with a wood stove and keep it comfy in the winter.
chop98 3 months ago
@sailcats77 My cost is 35 dollars in the winter and 100 for 3 mos in the summer with the AC going. I'm working on getting a solar water heater set outside to preheat the water going into my tank. I do know that a member of my family has had great success with running solar panels (only 60 watts) with a grid tie inverter for knocking down the power bill. Harbor Freight offers this 60 watt system. Add that grid tie inverter which is cheap also and you're well on your way. Go LED and not CF.

@chop98 To your car insurance company, ya I hate forced car insurance laws we have in the USA. I now have converted to using an electric and pedal bike, I charge it at work and at home. I save 130 dollar per mouth on insurance. Then I got a kilowatt to track down what uses power. Most of electronics burn power while they are off so I unplug them now. My microwave uses 2W constantly. After my sister moved out I have cut back on AC, I have got my electric bill down to $65 from $150.

These seems like a much more practical and promising way to do solar energy instead of photo-voltaics.
ziggy577 4 months ago
So what kind of steam engine would You use in this system to drive the generator,and where could You get one? This is a big problem with solar,and alternative energy in general, the real expense of the actual gear,as well as maintaining it never seems to be mentioned. I'd love to set a place up with just what You're showing, but lines on paper aren't really helping. Show a working prototype and and factor in costs of production,give us something to work with here.

Dude, with all do respect but that idea is nothing new , it has been around for like 20 years now...the problem is the expander that you will get to use (generator) so far no one has managed to come up with something efficient enough to give 6KW and affordable , so ya i think your not really offering anything new here.

take those panels and put them in the basement.first you take a parabolic solar concentrator and put an robotic arm on it to follow the suns path.then make the focal point a mirrored shape cone that will send the light down through mirrored glass tubing straight into a mirrored shape glass box inside the mirrored shape box will be several solar panels that spin to keep them cool the mirrored box must have the mirrors inward to reflect the light sending from the parabolic focal point.ken van horn

2.) Then there’s the question of time-delay in solar heating of the resupply water. Is there a minimum temperature required for inlet water on the heat exchanger?
ChimeraWarrior73 1 year ago
1.) There’s a helluva lot more to this system than shown here. The solar heated water has to be pushed upstream toward super-heated, high-pressure steam. There’s got to be some sort of check to keep that high-pressure steam from flowing back toward the cooler water (lower pressure) in the solar heater as well as some type of high pressure pump.

Ever try to power transport with Solar?. It takes a lot of hours to charge even a small car at a rate of 6kW. Now try and scale that up to power a big truck like the kind needed to transport food and other goods to market.
Also there is Capacity factor: You only get the 6kW for a few hours when the sun is overhead.
The reason we don't run everything on solar is not due to "greed" or any oil company conspiracy. It's simple physics.
tuttt99 1 year ago
This system is flawed because the system can only work effectively for an extended period if the water is ultra pure, i.e. it contains no dissolved salts, which ordinary water contains a lot of and expensive treatments are continuously required to purify the water first. Ordinary water will at the point where steam is generated deposit the salts and blockages will occur fairly quickly.

@TwattyBird Ahhhh - distilled water .... and how much energy is required to produce distilled water and then you must have a cooling system (pumps which will require electricity) to convert the generated steam back to water and recirculate (pumps which will require electricity) that back to the Freshnell lens. Seems to me one will need so much additional power just to keep the system running, that not much power will remain for household utilities.

@GRATZIANI2002 Here is an article that goes into it. They quote an NIST value 1366 Watts/ meter squared. This will be reduced as you go further from the equator and will be reduced by reflection in the atmosphere. They claim a value of about 1000 W/meter sq at the equator - called the "standard sun" and this is the value used by Solar Companies. This guy here claims 60% efficiency which would give hims his 600 W/meter sq as a comparative power output. (solar.smps.us/solar-energy)

Three ways of transferring energy, conduction, convection, radiation. Energy is never lost just converted. Conduction, energy transferred through solids. Convection is energy being transferred by air. Radiation is transmitted through electromagnetic waves, the sun produces infra-red radiation which heats the water, your body gives off infra-red radiation. Radiation unlike the other two can travel through a vacuum. Infra-red radiation is at a higher frequency therefore energy than visible light.

Most homes use 30 kWh per day? My electricity bill for last winter (Dec-Jan) tells me we used and average of 8.4kWh per day - and we live in England - where it gets cold and wet all the time! Do Americans really use up to 30kWh per day?

Nah, it of course depends on your lifestyle, you can live without any electricity. It's not like you need a Tee Vee and a computer. Make alcohol, burn it in lamps. Get out more.
And we can make solar at 10 cent per kw, 50 cent in cold areas. Solar paint fit for conventional inkjet printers.
It gives quite a different picture.

8.4 kilowatts a day? We need more information !

American homes are made so you have to be using either heating or air conditioning at all times pretty much, so they can just milk the money out of homeowners

You guys over there use a 240 volt system for residential applications we use 120 volt system which draws double the amperage than a 250 volt system, but you still have a point, and no, most Americans don't use that much power, however , some do. It's something that everyone needs to get on the bandwagon with to save.

Looks intriguing. I'd hate for something to bump the big magnifying glass and refocus the heat onto my roof and start a fire. But I'm sure a finished product would all be a single solid unit. Does it only work for park of the day?

I guess to prevent fire you would put a metal grill painted white around it - thus - metal doesnt catch fire(most metals) - and painted white it wont expand so rapidly as it deflects heat - if the pipes run underground and then up to the system heat could be gotten much more easily again, as for electric id mix a few panels with wind turbines, - but it does depend on where you live.

This is possible but impractical.
Point-focused concentrating solar thermal collectors need to be precisely aimed at the sun to work, so they need tracking mechanisms to follow the path of the sun across the sky throughout the day.
For now this technology is mostly used by utilities, who are building big solar power plants in the desert, mostly using reflective films in parabolic troughs and dishes. I have seen concentrating PV that uses fresnel lenses, but not solar thermal electric

IslandEnergySystems: Most telescopes today have a very inexpensive tracking system that could be adapted to follow the Sun with ease. So to say this would only be for mega operations is not quite true.

Please build a full working prototype, power your house with it, and prove it! Otherwise it all looks good on paper, but you have to prove it to us.

So tell me, do these systems come with their very own Sir Charles Shults to sit beside the lens and turn it towards the sun all day long? hmm?

By concentrating 1000 watts per meter square energy of sun by fresnel lense (almost 1meter square) you are getting temperature rise almost to 1200 degree celsius in one inch square, imagine your flow of water in a pipe (copper) where this frensel lense is heating just a small portion to 1200 degree, do you know how much steam is necesary per minute to rotate the generator, is that small portion which you increase the temperature is enough to continuously to generte continuous amount..........

of steam to be able to rotate the generator, if continuously run water in the same pipe i dont think you will be able to make steam out of just a small portion of copper heated to 1200 degree.
you have to calculate the amount of water which you need every miniute to convert into 200 degree temperature steam and wat volume of water you will need per minute. also you will need condensing unit to reconvert this steam into water and return back to system for re use, ......
123kkambiz 2 years ago
also your steam generation system needs to be capable to with stand high pressure and aslo high temperature, it should be stand different corrosion which may break your system , there are lot s of parameter has to be looked .
also you have to use so many number of lenses serially which will take lot of space or heating the pipe.
as I said you have to re convert the steam into water again as you vont need so much hot water for your domestic use,secondly it is better to use hot water ....
123kkambiz 2 years ago
as you will need less time and energy to steam the warm or hot water, instead of using fresh water which will consume more energy.
imagine if your system needs I gallone of water to convert into steam at 200 degree celcesus per minute, are you able to make in one hour 60 gallone of water into steam? these are information which you have to caculate using thermodynamic engineering if you have enginering background in mechanics you will be able to calculate and fine the result before hand.

Fine, I like that you can do that so cheaply, but it still isn't something I could buy online and put on my roof, so it has little benefit to ordinary folks who want to put PV cells on their homes.

You have to realize that although PV cells have gotten up to almost 50% efficiency, these are small scale and very experimental (aka expensive) panels. The commercially available panels are still only around 20-25% efficient. Also, cost of maintenance, installation, and tracking systems should be included, but the cost for that would be minimal compared to the difference between that and a comparable PV system. I am not really sure how high this "high pressure" steam is, but I can't fault him
Porterjebazillanator 2 years ago
SOmeone should create just a mini motor to move a small gear everyminute, just to constant track the sun.
