Steam turbine and solar cooker design
Build a $17 parabolic reflector and focus the beams on a 3000cc casing boiling the water creating steam. The steam turns a turbine. The only constraint it seems to the creation of this energy is the cost of steel. By using bamboo for the parabolic reflector huge cost savings are enacted. We need to manufacture the turbine blades ourselves by purchasing our own CNC cutting machine. I will upload the specific patent that shows how to build a vacuum black body on which sun energy is focused as time permits. The idea was patented in 2000 thus it will only expire in 2020. We will use a http://scratchpad.wikia.com/wiki/FrontingCompany to manufacture these key patented technologies - this is an issue of life and death for us. You can't run 15kw motors on a farm to pump water of sun energy but if the city dwellers were to heat their water and recharge their battery operated white leds with this solar technology then you can remove yourself completely from the energy grid and only power your fridges and computers with Eskom power, leaving critical power for food production, mining and industry. Every time you power that geyser or switch on the stove you are burning hard $us currency and making your small contribution to destroying South Africa, it is time for a radical rethinking of how we will use technology maliciously patented.

Solar Dish Collects, Concentrates Solar Energy by Factor of 1,000 by David Gutierrez

(NaturalNews) A successful test has been carried out of a new prototype solar dish that concentrates solar rays by 1,000 times, creating what inventor Doug Wood has called "the most efficient solar collector in existence."

The device is a 12-foot-wide dish made from thin, mirrored aluminum tubing and strips of mirrored glass. Water runs through the center of the dish in a coil of tubing, which is painted black for maximum heat absorption.

The collector is so effective at focusing light that when it is pointed directly at the sun, the water in the middle instantly vaporizes into steam. The prototype has also been used to set a plank of wood on fire, and researchers believe that it should be able to generate enough heat to melt steel.

Wood has signed over the rights to the device's design to a team of MIT students, who built the prototype and have launched a company to mass produce the devices. The company, http://www.rawsolar.com/, hopes to use heat generated by the collector to produce steam for electricity generation, industrial processing, or heating or cooling buildings.

Wood spoke approvingly of the changes that the students had made to his design

"They really have simplified this and made it user-friendly, so anybody can build it," he said.

Unlike with many alternative energy sources, large-scale production is not required to make the solar dishes cost-efficient, Wood said. Because the materials to make the device are so cheap and because larger dishes require a larger, more expensive support structure, small dishes actually costs only one-third as much as large ones for every unit of collecting area.

"I've looked for years at a variety of solar approaches, and this is the cheapest I've seen," said David Pelly of MIT. "And the key thing in scaling it globally is that all of the materials are inexpensive and accessible anywhere in the world."

ery impressive. See 3rd and 4th photos from the bottom at http://www.iedu.com/DeSoto/Projects/Stirling/Heat.html - and that was only a 4' wide collector.
