Fresnel Solar Power

Hey thorargent, great work!!! are you using here only one turbine to get the 6 kw??? and is that turbine the same small one you showed in the other videos?

Yes, there is a single steam turbine at the heart of the system. It is not shown in detail due to its proprietary design. The other small demo turbine was made just to demonstrate the steam-to-electrical conversion.

Nice! Please, where can I buy these big fresnel lenses at decent price?

Starting to look interesting.. how many kW were you able to get out of this steam flow?

Thanks, I am setting up a plant to manufacture Fresnel-based power systems shortly in New Mexico. A typical household uses about 30 kwh per day in the USA so a 6 kilowatt system will have to run for about 5 hours to produce enough power for this sort of consumption. Alternatively you can also use solar water heating panels and cut 30% or about 9 kwh off that base power load. So 21 kwh means a little over 4 hours of sun will power your household.

What a breath of fresh air "or steam maybe". I see so many videos on youtube, where folks are playing with Fresnel lenses, but this is the first time I've ever seen anybody follow through to the point of actually doing something with that heat - other than burning up the end of a wooden stick. Bravo!

It looks like it would range a few thousand dollars but for 6000w at 120v... So you get about 50 amps at 120vac, not bad but I think househols take more than this though?

Thank you, much more to come...
