Solar half parabolic shell smelter with a heliostat on a turntable

Invented is a solar smelter that also manufactures hot air or hot fluids. A curved parabolic-half-shell and curved-overhang focuses the sun's rays, sunlight, unto a crucible, which is buried into a thermal-mass, or the ground. Using a planar-reflector, or heliostat, the sunlight is reflected horizontally unto an interior reflective wall of the curved parabolic-half-shell and curved-overhang. Surrounding the crucible is a thermal-mass with embedded pipes, that manufacture hot and compress air, or heat a gas or fluid. On top of the thermal-mass is a clear transparent-and-insulating floor that captures any stray solar rays, sunlight, adding heat to the thermal-mass. At the foci of the parabolic-half-shell and curved-overhang is a crucible for melting rocks, sand, glass or metals, or processing chemicals.

Adjustable solar cooker

The technical developing countries urgently require foreign-exchange-free and cost-free energy for the daily cooking of food. To this end, solar energy is mainly already available there. Research alone has not been able to introduce technically usable solar ovens as a result of the complexity of the optics. With the present invention, the forced radiation path in the solar oven is broken up into 2 or more sections which can be easily reconstructed by hand. The respective time adjustments are stipulated by grids or similar devices. Thus first of all the focus of the reflector can be directed to the heating plate by two time grids and additionally the plate can be arranged accurately or pivoted out or in. The arrangement according to the invention is transport-friendly and assembly-friendly.

The invention relates to a small solar cooker with heat energy storage. This apparatus consists of an insulated wall (11), a transparent surface (1), a Fresnel lens (2), the focal distance of which is movable by means of an automatic mechanical system (3) (12) in order to follow the sun's elevation. During preheating, with the focal point (10) of the lens located on the small copper reservoir (4) containing a phase-change material (6), the latter recharges thermally by two methods: the concentration of radiation brought about by the lens (2) and/or by an ancillary resistor supplied with an alternating current (5), and the heat accumulated in the small reservoir (4) makes it possible to use the cooker when there is no sun or to reduce the cooking time. During the latter, the container (8) or (16) receives the heat by conduction via the heat stored in the small reservoir (4) and/or by radiation via the focal point (9) located on the cover of said container (8) or (16), following manual setting of the lens. The cooker assembly is connected to another automatic mechanical system (7) for following the path of the sun.

Parabolic reflector

For camping trips and other activities it is useful to have a solar reflector for cooking or electricity generation. It can be made form a flat piece of material and folded into a three dimensional parabolic dish for concentrating solar radiation. The flat disk has a plurality of spirally cut segments, which can overlap when the segments are made to stand extending in a parabolic shape from their central circular base. The segments will overlap on their edges and can be fastened together near the circumference to form a parabolic dish for reflecting solar rays toward a central area used for cooking. The parabolic reflective dish can be disassembled and stored flat by removing the fasteners and urging the spiral side segments to lie flat. The number of spiral side segments and their size may vary. The parabolic reflector is easy to assemble and disassemble and easy to carry.
