ABSTRACT:
Apparatus responsive to solar energy for driving a self-contained gas turbine, whereby to produce mechanical or electrical power. Such apparatus is provided with a screen of a reflective nature and of a type to essentially focus the incoming rays of the sun onto a central window. A pair of serpentine coils are disposed rearwardly of the window and are constructed for alternate registry therewith. A gas turbine is operatively connected to and between the two coils. The rays of the sun are employed to heat the coils, alternately, so as to expand the gas or vapor therein, increasing the pressure thereof, for driving the turbine. The alternate heating of the coils produces opposite revolvement of the turbine, the output from which can be made uni-directional by conventional means. Water storage tanks and spraying means, with a cooling fan, can be employed for alternate daytime and nighttime usage.
