The project "Solar Dish Electric Generator" as a semi finallist from Freescale's Technology Forum 2009. The prototype consist of a 2.00m diameter parabolic dish with a 2 axis sun tracking mechanism. A Stirling Engine was coupled in the focal point of the parabola wich can move a DC generator. Freescale's microcontrollers were used to achieve sun tracking during the day and also ZigBee technology was used to monitor wirelessly the system from a personal computer.

  • Beautiful.

  • Nice system. More please. Maybe a video showing the installation? Show the system specs on the next video please.

  • Dear. ProyectoStirling 50s there is Lithuanian flag. Lithuania is part of european union. They have lots of energy, they don't need such shit.

  • I have the same ideas to build this system.We have at this time built a 7 inch dia. hot end .We will be machineing our rings .We hope that Bronze will work out!!

    Their are a lot of people ( PulseFuelNerd)all over the world working on this type of system.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

  • Very good work

    Search on Google "Concentratore solare da parabola satellitare" a italian's students experiment

  • Nice work!!! Can I get a set of plans to this? I would like to build one of these. Thanks Neal

  • Hola.

    Les quedo muy bien su proyecto, ya estoy inscrito y listo para votar en el FTF.

    Suerte.

    Alex

  • I would suggest using a brushless in-wheel motor as the generator because this would increase efficiency and simplify the design.

  • Very nice. How many wats is this 2 square meter system able to produce?

    How much do all the components cost?

  • felicitaciones exelente proyecto, me gustaria saber cuantos watts de potencia puede generar el motor stirling que tienen en el foco del disco parabolico, es decir cuanta electricidad en vatios produce el alternador electrico en este modelo experimental.
