I absolutely like how you engineer things in the middle of the field with wood and simplest tools! I feel that even I probably could do something similar 😂
@@Aldekein What makes you believe you couldn't do this with ease? Even if you just replicate his designs on a smaller scale, it really fun tinkering around with things, especially when they work like Intended!
For mass production of the ribs. Steam straight boards and have a mold to press the boards into the shape you want. You could also gently heat PVC pipe and use a mold to shape it. It would be faster but might be more expensive then wood.
I made something similar to your first example using an old satellite dish and mylar to focus the sun on the RF receiver (there are many discarded dishes so it was a recycling/upcycling experiment). I was thinking to use it with a small triple-junction solar cell panel (which works well with CS) and have a secondary liquid cooling of some kind behind the cell, using the waste heat for either hot water or, if hot enough, could be also for power.
Lots of useful information. Where I live, the wind is very strong. I sometimes find the garbage bins in the middle of the road, and the garbage gone! Migrated somewhere south perhaps. For real life application it would be good to make the mirrors withstand up to 160km/h wind. But again, great video, keep it up!
Could you build 3 sides of a building with the 2 opposing sides in the shape of a triangle and the final roof-to-ground made of glass, so that the whole solar setup is enclosed and facing the sun?
Solarthermal powerplants can only make use out of direct sunlight. They may make sense in very sunny places, but in general PV is the better alternative.
half of his videos are showing these working in the Ukraine in the winter. Practicality comes down to price and how you are using the stored energy. PV is great but vastly more expensive and requires expensive batteries to store the power.
Yorgiy, I have been watching you for years. I live in Istanbul. Does this thing you do heat water in cloudy weather where the air temperature is 10 C? There is snow in your video but the sun remains as it is.
If all the multi-billionaires in the world, each dedicated just $10 million into the efforts for research in this field... solar, wind, geothermal and tidal power. The earth would be 100 times better. But no... they prefer wars and pandemics, the "philanthropists" that they are. Brilliant video and thank you for sharing with the world. No greed or hate, just pure philanthropy. Bravo!
you could also use the heat to break down waste motor oils into usable fractions to run a generator,, power vehicle etc.. Same could be done with plastic Pyrolysis . Both easier to do possible than create a thermal storage system buy/build steam generator
Cool idea. Pyrolysis produces fuel, which can also be the source of heat for the pyrolysis process, but maybe solar could help make the process more efficient. I think pyrolysis is best done on a large scale, utilizing heat exchange to recover lost energy and maximise efficiency.
@@Convolutedtubules Moving parts and labor are expensive too. If you can make it so there are no moving parts and the only labor is replacing the reflective film every year or two, that would be well worth the cost of a secondary stainless steel or glass mirror which would last for many years.
@@macrumpton But the earth tilts, he mentions in this video that the vertical angle needs to be adjusted approximately 10 times during the year. As the sun moves, you need to adjust the vertical angle of either the mirror, or the collector.
Have you looked at Hyliion's Karno linear generators? They say the 3D printed fuel-agnostic heat exchanger could also be converted to accept heat from molten salts or heat from solar concentrators. I could imagine units that generate electricity ~directly (without a need for a steam turbine). Using concentrator heat by day, and running molten salts by night. They have an estimated efficiency of a gas-fired turbine (cost of fuel per kWh). For the same reason, they have nuclear applications - again, avoiding the complexity of steam turbines. Cheers!
Good stuff, though regular solar panels getting incredibly cheap and efficient now and can be installed on roofs etc. Apparently the aluminium frame is the most expensive part! Installation and maintenance cost seems to dwarf hardware costs.
@@afmedwardsWhat is the source of these claims? Extruded aluminium the most expensive part? I doubt that! The glass is probably more expensive, and I guess the solar cells are a major cost too. Solar panels are not cheap and definitely not efficient, so it's funny to me that you say "incredibly cheap and efficient".
If manufacturers integrate solar panels into structural construction panels for roof and wall use, the costs would decrease further and the huge amount of panels will make alignment and mounting moot.
Instead of oil, it would probably be better to use a salt solution - it would not freeze like water or become viscous like oil and would have much higher specific heat capacity (heat capacity per kilogram) than oil. You could also have an insulated buffer tank where hot salt water would be kept - it would serve as heat accumulator
Thanks for this! Brilliant. Simply Brilliant. I'm moving to a new country this year so I can develop tech like this without umpteen regulations and stale thinking (Canada). This work is the future Man, hats off to ya.
Is it possible to design a system to circulate water or oil through a system of pipes that heat up a hot water or oil reservoir to be used to then circulate through another immersed loop of water through a series of radiators within a house? It seems likely to me that systems like this already exist so what is the best way to do this?
As much as i prefer heat solar panel over photovoltaic, the current price of those make it impossible to get better money return with heat one anymore. Getting 400w/m2 of energy on a heat solar panel was already a big challenge (i managed to get 250w at best personally), and it cost me way more in term of time spent to build those than getting to the store and buy a PV equivalent. In particular if the goal is just to heat things (hot water or house heaters), as you don't even need the costly power inverter system for the PV and batteries (just plug the panel to the heater and voila).
Yeah that crap maybe cheap but forgot to mention turbine cost :) this system still not work in winter so have the same problem as solar. Cheaper would be buy batteries like 20kw/h and will be ok for 2 days of electricity for small house in that time in summer will charge it.
The weather is grey in Istanbul and the sun is not visible. When I try to make such an application, can you help me by connecting to me via video call from WhatsApp? I don't have one right now, I'm thinking about writing.
its a good work he is doing but why these things do not pick-up in real life because most of the PEOPLE in the world see everything in terms of GDP and NDP of country, no business flourishes on SOCIAL work. GREED and EGO are the core part of humans which always overrides the good part.

I would consider it win if you just made steam or hot oil for heat you home and running the hot water heater or a small steam generator using a low speed high torque diepetro engine.
everytime i watch his videos.. i have to wonder why this man hasnt been given a small team? and some serious funding. he even goes into the cost analysis of his projects.. people will waste money on a 3 hr think tank.. but not seek out innovative minds and support them. lol donkey seh the worl nuh level.. saying holds true.
turbine will be more expensive than pv, even with zero-cost mirrors. average cost of pv modules in china without taxes currently about 7 cents per watt
Really love your work and unfortunately now you have an incredible window of opportunity to deploy solutions. I keep wondering whether building greenhouses around residential buildings can also be made cheaper, since it works wonders in colder climates (Norway, Sweden). LDPE foil is cheaper than glass and available. It survives for several years, but may get damaged during storms.
nice, put a continuous line receiver (liquid pipe) instead of needing to moving anything. at all. movement is the worst in any building. normal copper metal water pipe is the best continuous receiver. how to make a car paint shiny. well you polish it. so a metal with reflective paint is the best. overall. or maybe plastic or foam filled plastic cover with paint. 3d printed petg (or pla) plastic shell, with polyurethane foam filling. 3d printed parts can be screw bolted together as a larger structure. or maybe just use plastic sheet. or make the panels from wood. wood with silver paint, to make it look like a car metal surface mirror.

@@purdunetae2995 I think wood is too variable to be bent like this, consistently.
@@Convolutedtubules It will also deform/warp with heat and humidity.
@@johnc3525 True, I did not consider this. Although, he is using wood outdoors and it seems to hold its shape well enough.

Vacuum tubes?
0:56 how big is the focal point and the area of the mirror?
how about just use a another bigger curved mirror Infront of the curbed mirrors to solve the issue? that way it goes to a smaller spot.
@@trench01 Mirrors are costly and not 100% efficient. Light is lost with each reflection.
