This is a school project? Whoa, I can clearly see that I went to the wrong college. This is a fantastic project, very practical with real world applications galore. I enjoy your shear creative genius on this Frezno lens array to steam to Electricity gradget. I'm sure it saves a wack of cash compared to those over priced poor efficiency solar panels. I know there are losses, but what's your efficiency with this setup? Again, I'm absolutely impressed with your creativity.

Actually the lenses were purchased new. You can get them from a number of vendors.

So... do you really think the turbine is spinning out in the open like a food chopper? You really need to think about what you are saying here. The production system is a small, completely sealed unit. Normally, that would go without saying. Clearly, I have overestimated the ability of some to think.

You must have a power storage system such as batteries, flywheels, or compressed air. The UPS on a computer does the same thing so your computer does not shut down when the power fails. Alternative energy systems either use storage, or you are connected to the grid and sell power back.

Sir, I am new to all of this. How could one harness this power source to be used at night?
