Pressurized Paraboloidal Solar Concentrator
Abstract
Pressurized paraboloidal solar concentrator has high concentration ratio and is easy to maintain. Gas pressure forces reflecting film into contact with paraboloidal substrate. Reflective surface, which is low-cost metalized polymer film, can be quickly and easily replaced making new design less expensive to produce.
