ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to apparatus for collecting solar radiation rays and for converting the radiation rays into a concentrated beam of parallel rays having a fixed orientation. The apparatus includes an optical system for collecting and concentrating the solar radiation rays and for converting the rays into concentrated beam of parallel rays. A system of mirrors is utilized to provide a concentrated beam of parallel rays which remain fixed in orientation as the optical system is rotated around a tracking axis. The concentrated beam of fixed orientation is then utilized for supplying thermal energy to a stationary solar appliance.
