2. Wolfgang Scheffler (inventor) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Scheffler_(inventor)

   Scheffler cooker at JNV school in Leh, India.. Wolfgang Scheffler (born 1956) is the inventor/promoter of Scheffler Reflectors, large, flexible parabolic reflecting dishes that concentrate sunlight for solar cooking in community kitchens, bakeries, and in the world's first solar-powered crematorium.

3. Concentrated solar power - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrated_solar_power

   As a thermal energy generating power station, CSP has more in common with thermal power stations such as coal, gas, or geothermal. A CSP plant can incorporate thermal energy storage, which stores energy either in the form of sensible heat or as latent heat (for example, using molten salt), which enables these plants to continue supplying electricity whenever it is needed, day or night. [11]

4. Concentrator photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concentrator_photovoltaics

   High concentration photovoltaics (HCPV) systems employ concentrating optics consisting of dish reflectors or Fresnel lenses that concentrate sunlight to intensities of 1,000 suns or more. [30] The solar cells require high-capacity heat sinks to prevent thermal destruction and to manage temperature related electrical performance and life ...

5. Does Concentrated Solar Pose a Threat?

   www.aol.com/.../30/the-threat-of-concentrated-solar

   Concentrated solar power, or CSP, usually uses a system of reflectors to heat up a liquid, and then drive a turbine. The system relies on simple physics and offers one big benefit that ...

6. Solar energy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy

   Solar energy is the radiant energy from the Sun ... Reflector cookers use various concentrating geometries (dish, trough, Fresnel mirrors) to focus light on a cooking ...

7. Solar thermal collector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_thermal_collector

   Solar parabolic dish. With a parabolic dish collector, one or more parabolic dishes concentrate solar energy at a single focal point, similar to the way a reflecting telescope focuses starlight, or a dish antenna focuses radio waves. This geometry may be used in solar furnaces and solar power plants.

8. Solar-powered Stirling engine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar-powered_Stirling_engine

   This apparatus consists of a large dish that concentrates solar energy to a focal point at the center of the dish. The concentrated solar energy drives a Stirling cycle engine, [2] which operates by letting heat flow from a hot source to a cold sink to do work. [3] The work output of the Stirling cycle then drives a generator to create electric ...

9. The Big Dish (solar thermal) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Big_Dish_(solar_thermal)

   The Big Dish is a parabolic dish concentrator developed by the Australian National University's Solar Thermal Group. [1] The initial prototype, SG3 [ 2 ] , was constructed on the Canberra campus of the Australian National University in 1994.
