@@epeh4213 i second this. ask chatgpt to come up with the equation for the parabola, then plot it with a tape measure. say your half circle is 12 inches wide, radius 6, then you can have the focus at 0,0, one point at -6,0 another at +6,0, in this case the directrix is at -6 and the parabola goes through 0,-3, or halfway. if you want the focus deeper, you can go as deep as 0,-4.5 in which case the parabola goes through 0,-6, but you still have to plot it in between -6,0; 0,-6; and 0,+6. So you can set the focus from 0,0 to 0,-4.5, and the parabola minimum point will be between 0,-3 and 0,-6. If you set the focus at 0,0 there is the advantage that you can have a fixed central rod that does not need flexible connections and can be welded in place, and only pivot the mirror, and the outer circle can have a continuous contact gear drive, while the parabola minimum would be halfway through the wood, plotted.

Very interesting, although, are you sure that your "pipe" is at the exact 'focus' for the sun rays? Did you measure it? It doesn't seem so. You have a concave mirror surface that reflects the sun rays at an exact height in the middle of your apparatus. You have to calculate this height to put your tubing where there is the concentration of the rays....because you can get temps much higher.

This is a marvellous idea. It's easy, cheap an reliant. You can easy heat up the water collected by a canister from the rainfall on your roof going down the drain pipe. I even have a quite cheap proposal for upgrading the system. The idea of using a glass sheet to get internal reflection and thus a higher yield of thermal energy is great. But if you would coat the tube in prior with a black color, which is IR reflectant, the tube would heat up even more, since less light from the VIS range is reflected (1. Loss) and less thermal radiation is emitted from the tube (2.Loss). In theory you should be able to boil the water. If this doesn't work yet, one could easily scale the system, so that the tube length is doubled, so more thermal energy is flowing into the water passing through the pipe. Unfortunately I wasn't able finding a simple shop where you can buy such a color yet. But many research paper state that it's actually possible and I even found a company who fabricates such pigments for making IR reflectant colors. The (i think) most promising Pigment should be (FeMn)2O3, which is actually also quite common in nature. Good Luck and keep up the good work.

A very Indian way of doing things. If the half pipe is only used for shape and to be covered by a reflector, you could as easily have cut a barrel in half. The MDF will fail pretty quickly and the foil-imoregnated plastic wrap you have as the reflector layer will, too. The plastic tubing will perish rapidly in UV. Use copper pipe, coiled inside and in contact with heavy steel pipe, ideally filled with concrete. Use a stable metal like stainless steel or see if you can rig up a home chromoly bath to plate your barrel. These won't rust and will keep a good sheen for a long time, but will still need cleaning. Or simply use aluminium foil. This is a reasonable kludge on a budget, but unnecessarily complicated with the making of the half pipe.
@jojohehe32514 ай бұрын
In fact, why bother with the reflector at all? Simply lay the hose flat in a coil and place it under a black steel plate. Reticulate this using a thermosiphon and increase the reservoir. Better still, do it as a double coil heat exchanger: one coil collecting heat, another dumping it inside your hot water system, which can be pressurised and plumbed to the home.
