ABSTRACT:
Steam to be supplied to a turbine is generated in a single pressure chamber reservoir by solar energy concentrated on the head of a conductor mounted in the top wall of the reservoir chamber with its conductive portion extending downward through a head space into the water. Convector surfaces on the conductor in the head space super heats the steam as it flows to the turbine. The solar energy is supplied from a parabolic reflector and directed through a lens system to a focus on the head of the conductor. The focus may be modulated to assure optimum operation without overheating.
