ABSTRACT:
The collection, storage and transfer of solar heat by pneumatic means includes: a solar collection system; a heat storage system; and a means for selectively directing air through the solar collector, the heat storage, and the point of use. The solar collection system includes a first chamber of convex, curvilinear shape covered with a light-transmissive material, and positioned to receive sunlight. A series of second chambers is formed beneath the first chamber by light-transmissive material located above and below a series of inclined ducts through which air from the first chamber is directed. Each duct receives air from the upper portion of the preceding secondary chamber and redirects the air into the lower portion of the next succeeding secondary chamber. After passing through the entire series of secondary chambers, the heated air is directed into a third concave, curvilinear-shaped chamber located beneath the series of second chambers. The concave, curvilinear surface is made reflective so that sunlight passing through all three chambers strikes the reflective surface and is redirected back through the three chambers to additionally heat the air therein.
