  • cool a solar powered noise maker. neighbors will love it

  • What I'd like to see done is a dish something along the line as what is shown here, convert some type of liquid in a closed/sealed loop that powers a generator that feeds electricity to a inverter then interfaces with the electric company on a typical home.

  • @MrUscellulartexas like a heat exchanger,If you make steam,you cant have a closed loop system,you have to feed it water to convert it to steam,no free ride.

  • @MrUscellulartexas search: infinitia stirling solar generator

  • @gabigowriel It shouldn't- weare not talking about optical imaging, here- just need a 6-8" disc. This looks much like the units (4) that will soon provide electricity & hot water/heat @ my Ranch. Nicely-done. Oh- you DO have it rigged to track the sun, sunup-sundown, don'tcha??

  • So the bigger the parabolic dish the higher the temperature ?

    I saw a 4,5 meters parabolic dish ; doesn't a big dish have "focusing problems" in windy conditions?

    Very nice video!

    By the way , for those that don't have a clue what's going on and on what world they live on : SOLAR ENERGY IS FREE ENERGY!

    Good day!

  • @GoldDustMD im sure thats a coke can seeing how it says coke on it and its red.

  • these would be great for deaf communities, if they existed! Perhaps far out at sea or in the middle of the desert, but not much water in the desert, at least the sterling engine seems to be a bit quieter, good effort

  • YOUR VIDEO IS VERY GOOD BUT I COULD SAY WHAT THE SOLAR COLLECTOR NOT UNDERSTAND YOU WILL HAVE A COPPER SPIRAL, ME EXPLAIN IT PLEASE .... THANKS

  • I'm pretty sure the "solar turbine' is just a DEMO of how much steam the dish can generate. Solar 'power' of this nature is usually used in hot water heat exchange for heating pools, spas, hot water heaters... or the situation I'm looking for replacing a good share of my propane bill in my steam heat (Yeah I bought a old house... but price was great and I have 5,500 sq feet to heat)

    Someone was wondering where to get a dish like this Look for a company called Arco Solar Lasers. - Dan

  • where did you get the turbine from? i want one.

    im looking at putting a parabolic trough on my roof.
