ABSTRACT:
A solar electric generator is provided wherein a plurality of propellers are mounted transversely to a shaft journaled on bearings in a housing. Each propeller includes a plurality of equiangularly spaced arms with each arm terminating in a vane member which is coated with a light absorbing medium. The housing is provided with a transparent window so that sunlight may fall on the coated side of the vanes as they rotate with the shaft mounted in the housing. The shaft is connected to a suitable electric generator such that rotation of the shaft is converted into electrical energy by the generator. A focusing system is provided to direct light along different paths to strike the absorbing surface of the vanes as they rotate about the shaft and a tracking mechanism is operative to track the sun both daily and seasonally.
