ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for collecting, intensifying and storing solar energy which includes a hollow spherical vessel having a polished reflective interior surface. A window is provided in the wall of the vessel for allowing concentrated rays from the sun to enter into the interior of the vessel and be absorbed by a solar collector. The collector includes a substantially black (or a selective coating) heat absorbing surface carried by a spherical member which is centrally located within the spherical vessel. Heat absorbing media such as metal shots, are carried within the spherical member and change from a solid state to a liquid state as it absorbs the solar energy. The heat absorbing media cause radiant energy to be radiated radially in a symmetric beam pattern to the reflective vessel wall where the radiation is reflected back to the spherical member. The reflected radiant energy in conjunction with the sun's rays intensify the temperature of the heat absorbing media producing a thermal power supply.
