Patent References 3714449 Lightweight reflective panels for solar-thermal power plants and methods of forming such panels Low profile portable power plant Patent #: 4359951 InventorApplicationNo. 347741 filed on 07/06/1999US Classes:60/641.8, Solar60/641.15With solar concentrationExaminersPrimary: Nguyen, HoangInternational ClassB60K 016/00AbstractThis Device is a simplified Solar Steam Engine. It consists of a sole reciprocating piston within a slotted cylinder. A piston actuating arm extends through the slot to provide the power take off. The Actuator Arm also provides the power to a slide valve (4) within an input/output (I/O) Manifold that directs the steam correspondingly to each end of the steam engine to move the piston back and forth. The actuator arm provides the power directly to a load such as a pump piston Which in turn also requires the back and forth movement to provide air pressure for air tools. water jet propulsion power could be provided for small boats like kayaks or canoes and the like. Even compression for Home-air conditioners may be possible. | |
