ABSTRACT:
A solar furnace receiving reflected solar energy from a battery of remote, positionable mirrors with the furnace having primary and secondary reflectors directing concentrated radiant energy toward a Fresnel lens. The focal point of the lens is located within a furnace chamber into which is advanced a carbon conduit, the advancing end of which is vaporized by focal point temperatures. The vaporized carbon serves as a catalyst for the production of hydrogen. The furnace chamber is in upstream communication with means for separating hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
