PART 1 PARABOLIC TROUGH Satellite Dish Conversion Concentrator Catenary Chain Parabola

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNdCzG2XHhE

THIS IS PART 1
This is the intro to lining a large satellite dish and finding the proper shape for a PARABOLIC TROUGH Mirror. When the satellite dish video is ready. I will have a link. It is very close:-) Works great.

The shape using a rope or string is Not a true Parabola, it is actually a Catenary Shape. This is close enough for our solar projects and works great. In the next video, I will have complete step by step process for building the trough mirror.

THE EXCEL PARABOLA DOCUMENT CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE FOR FREE:-)

someone just tell me where we could buy that sheet? and tell me some info about material for that sheet

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Phone Book - PlexiGlass - Acrylic Sheets

[delbomb3131]

hold on did you say you came out of your air conditioned house thats mighty green of you

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Yep:-)

A whopping 10,000 btu's Cost about $17 a month to run. Can't live in FL without one.

6:57: Technically speaking, the cables in suspension bridges are actually parabolic. By themselves, the cables would form catenaries. But the much greater weight of the "road" part of the bridge pulls the cable into a true parabolic shape.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Thank you Tho x, so nice to hear from you:-) Very good point about the weight of the roads.

Also, the tailgate bike on your channel is awesome!

Thanks again.

At least have Denise bring in a sandwich or something. Good stuff though!!!

I live for your bloopers dan! LOL! They are the best. We have all been there at one time or another but most of us look around to make sure no one seen us mess up.....LOL. You on the other hand keep on recording and then broadcast them...LOL! I love it! 5 stars!

I really like those paintings at about 6:18

Rain-X Defogger Liquid is used on glass to stop fogging. the water just runs off and keeps glass clear. might be worth checking it out ? i used some of another brand on my dads old sports car and even in the winter the glass stayed clear without a heater, amazing stuff.

OOOOOPS Im back and thanks for the comment to keep me on my toes. the ends of the elipse are just close.

It takes an infinite distance of one screw to make the difference. elipses are just close.

Thanks for the comment. I have went back and restudied this and found that if you make one of the foci at infinity the minor end of the elipse is parablic..

Otherwise if the the 2 points are close it is just an elipse with two ends that are close to a parabolic curve. MUDDy

[Mhyque]

Also, a paraboloid is not a parabola. I feel like we're arguing different things. :< But basically a parabola is only a section of an ellipse if the foci are infinitely separated. There is an elliptical paraboloid which is a quadratic surface and looks like a cup.

[muddymuddymuddmann]

Im not perfect but I will double check this and get back to you. Thanks for keeping me on my toes. I always thank those that correct me.

[WillBlocher]

No. An ellipse is not two parabolas stuck together.

[muddymuddymuddmann]

THE ENDS OF THE ELIPTICAL SHAPE ARE PERFECT PARABOLOIDS.
