ABSTRACT:
A solar operated turbine power generator is provided in which air is compressed and supplied to a transparent tube contained within a reflector which concentrates the solar energy upon the tube. The tube is sealed at one end and a tubular collector of radiant heat is positioned concentrically within the tube. The compressed air is supplied to the other end of the tube and is passed through the tube outside of the collector and then back inside of the collector to a turbine which is sealed to the collector. The concentrated radiant energy and the passage of the compressed air through the tube and the collector provide compressed air at the inlet to the turbine at a temperature of at least about 300.degree. C. The compressed hot air is exhausted to atmosphere to drive the turbine and the exhaust is through a heat exchanger which transfers heat to the compressed air at the inlet end of the tube. The turbine drives the compressor and external power generating equipment.
