Good music, doesn't really fit the scene though.

@321ozzy regarding focal point, it depends on the rim angle , it is not always 1/4th of depth (just for information :))

Why the fuck would you put this music to this kind of video? How stupid do is this person?

Instead of a straight line, curve it so it will not need a sun tracker. Not as severe as a horseshoe, but curved more slightly.
Also, the pipe needs to be much closer to the parabolic trough, I think.

@tcheightyeight 342 w / m square at water level.

wtf...

The focal point of the mirror is at approximately 1/4 of the depth of the mirror, also the distance at which the tube should run along.
This 3D image suggests it is outside the mirror itself.
The tube can be filled with oil in order to withstand temperatures far above 100 degrees Celcius (212 F) and run it through a heat exchanger

The mathematics behind this become a little complex when you start introducing materials, supports, and heating calculations. But if you take the generalized "1,000 watts/square meter" received energy on Earth's surface, cut it to 1/4, and distribute that across an array of them, then you can estimate the output and compare it to the power requirements of a water heater.
Indeed, there are much better designs out there but this is probably by far the most cost-efficient one I've seen.
Frantic bullshit music. --- Should be thrown off youtube. Total waste of time!!!!!
