Good idea but, how do you TRACK the sun with that thing? It'll only work when the parabolic dish is pointed directly at the sun.

This video is not of authorship mine. Simply I found in a site of engines "stirlings" in the InterNet and I added it in youtube to divulge more the energies you renewed.

@tsport100 You mount the dish onto stepper motors and use a small portion of the energy generated to track the sun!

Please inform how much it costs to make this apparatus.

now if only i can tie my penis to it...

ok something this size, what can it power?

[PhysicsGuerrilla]

@czarsolarhydrowind 1 sq meter = appx 1000 watts, 1 square yard = appx 833 watts

3,800 watts is 3.8 sq meters at 100% efficiency. However no system is 100% efficient, and to be fair you will need a collection area of 1000mm x 8000mm to satisfy the 3800 watt demand at approximately 50% efficiency. Your RPM is determined by the circumference ratiio between your drive pulley and generator pulley at full load. I can not elaborate without system details.

@PhysicsGuerrilla Can you figure in what the wattage would be under a small load? like a 3,800watt power head with a 2" belt pully? And I wounder what size flywheel would be needed to produce 3,500 rpms for a v-belt configuration?hummm...Thanks I'm not so good with math!!

@tsport100 Are you working with solar energy? I don't think I have a copy of code now... we build this in 2006 I guess, even if I had the code, you'll need more than just the code if you are going to implement the control system in dsPIC or any other micro-controllor (Microchip, Motorola or others) if you are interested in building one of these, I will try and help... let me know

[tsport100]

@JalalSela Care to share the code?

[JalalSela]

@tsport100 Hi, we did this (idea) in CIICAp (Mexico/Cuernavaca), and we used a micro-controller (dsPIC30F4011) to move the parabolic anntena, not difficult really, we used both a pre-calculated calendar stored in the memory (a calendar that tells the position of the sun at spacefic time), and some light sensors (just to make sure that things work), we actually used the same motor that came with the parabolic anntena...
