did I miss? the part where the half circle becomes a parabola? You know, as in "parabolic"?

what is the name of the reflective surface u used and where can i? get it?
By: SurvivalinstinctUK. on 03 Jan 12, 16:01:48
Great video? BTW. ;-)

wouldnt half round guttering do the same, and mylar emergency? blanket spray glued. Thought it might be cheaper?

Great design? and video !

Wrapping plastic around the PVC pipe should be the last step. Use outdoor double sided carpet tape to secure the? clear plastic sheeting to the PVC pipe. This will hold in the heat.

so this will actually heat the water (in full sun) as it travels through the pipe? at pressure? (how much pressure?) so, actually it operates like a tankless water heater?

how did you mount that pivot on your? table saw? drill it?

"shape as a parabolic..." easy? to say, isn't it?
By: SecularMentat. on 20 Aug 11, 12:07:53
Is? it worth the effort to get a true parabolic surface as opposed to a hemicircular surface?

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE You can? buy this Type from Solarfocus. They sell it as CPC and you can find it here: solarfocus.at

wonder if mylar would work as a reflective? material with something to hold it up.

Dan, I have some random sections of 6 inch sewer pipe. I can do the math on cutting into 1/3 slices. Using this with 3/4 ID iron pipe, how far? from the bottom should I place the 3/4 water pipe. I just quick rigged somthing with tin foil (on a cloudy day) and it looks like approx 3 inches from foil to bottom of iron pipe will have the solar pin point in the center of the water pipe. Do I want to focus for center? A blank slate here.

5:19 thats what she said?

You? have no idea what you are talking about...

A good focal point calculator? mscir.tripod.com/parabola/

and what's material you use to? make mirrors?
By: mocatz187. on 29 Mar 11, 03:48:51
@teknotoast? The reflectivity isn't stronger at one point of the trough than another so it would make sense for it to be an equal distance rather than sunk in further.
By: teknotoast. on 29 Mar 11, 02:21:18
@mocatz187 no, no it's not.?
By: mocatz187. on 28 Mar 11, 23:47:43
pipe is too? low in trough.

thanks dan ilove? your videos

Mind that focussing mirrors, like parabolic ones, only work for direct radiation, thus straight from facing the Sun. This applies in very dry and/or cloudless climates, like on the poles, hot deserts and the top of high mountains. In the tempered, rather cloudy climate zones, most of the solar radiation is diffuse (coming from? all directions). In South Sweden f. ex, it is 80% diffuse and almost 100% in tropical rainforest climates - only flat solar panels can be effective there!

A practical use for a solar trough might be as the heat source for wood gasification. No open fire or flame needed to gasify the wood in the gasifier, which would make gasification even cheaper & require less wood overall. Wood gas? can fuel a generator for home power. Generator could recharge a battery bank while powering an electric burner beneath an alcohol still for fuel alcohol. BAM, home power & transportation needs covered without oil or coal. Sun would provide bulk of energy required for

Though I was Harrison Ford for a moment in Raiders from the Lost Ark about to be sawn? in half in the camera shot from inside the pipe while being cut . Creative camera work Dan.
