New Parabolic Trough

Heats High Temperature Water, Steam, Desalination, Water purification, Food Dehydration.

[@EnlightenedTrucker]

I'd love to see more of this along with the steam output and turbine/battery setup.

[@mikewalton7615]

I live in Thailand and am going to build one from a 4'x8' sheet of mirror finish stainless steel. I found a company in the Netherlands that makes a small turbine with Integrated generator. I will use an arduino controlled fuel injector to spray water in one end and hopefully produce superheated steam to turn the turbine. A Nighthawk video shows a simple way to make a solar tracker. Another video shows a parabolic panel that rotates around a fixed solor collector pipe.

[@gordanburin3416]

Hey Mike i like the direction you are going and bid you good luck sir! Thanks for posting tracker reference. I would highly recommend looking at Sergiy yurko's video on using oil as a medium because oil can retain energy for much longer. The system in this video is fantastic because it gets hot enough to use that medium.

[@paulsoucy5834]

Awesome! Good to see folks making there own solar systems. Thank you! Have a great day, Paul

[@YouCountSheep]

@@paulsoucy5834 I do not understand why we can't build simple powerplants like this in Africa for example. Makes me mad. I bet you could even rip out old plane turbines and convert them into crude steamturbines. Build cheap solar trackers with 1 photocell and an arduino. Since the sun is nearly overhead the closer you are on the equator and atmosphere the thinnest a trough running from north to south could track the sun perfectly with rising efficiency. They could make power while simultaneously desalinate water with the excess heat for irrigation. Truly makes me mad that it doesn't happen.

[@paulsoucy5834]

yes you are correct. I never could understand why we can't do more. Thanks for your input! Paul

[@venkattesh4122]

Hai sir can u tell me total cost of the equipment

[@user-di2mf2fn7n]

Explain in detail the components of the solar dish collector head, its reflectors, and the steam hoses.

[@paulsoucy5834]

The parabolic reflectors are curved to direct the energy to a point in this case the absorber tube. The absorber tube is type K copper and has a selective coating with a low emmisivity and a high absortivity. The fexible hoses are teflon with a stainless steel outer braiding. This is mainly used with thermal oil because and not steam, steam can be very dangerous because of the high pressures. Have a great day, Paul

[@duanepomrenke2073]

Best one i've seen on utube yet, nice job

[@paulsoucy5834]

Thanks! Have a good day, Paul

[@jozefnovak7750]

Super! Thank you very much!

[@user-ny3qb1qj3x]

I think you can use it for water filter (collecting vapour)

[@rovimex5908]

Hello Paul: Excellent video. I loved. How could it be used for your system to desalinate seawater?

[@aaronlandry3934]

Desalination namely involves heating sea water until it produces steam and cooling down the steam afterwards. A Troth is the heat supply and the concentrated sea water leftover is called “Brine”. Brine can be a pollutant if directly injected back into the ocean, but it can be harmlessly injected into the ground instead

[@paulsoucy5834]

Hi, There are many ways, basically you heat the water up then the water vapor condensates on a cool surface and then forms distilled water then collects in a seperate container. There are more sufiticated ways like pulling a vaccum but the concept is the same. Thank you! Have a good day, Paul

[@C.ChandrasekharReddyMech.]

i want this type of parabolic trough collector for my research work. please tell me the cost of solar parabolic collector . actually i am from Andhrapradesh, India.

[@mjg3267]

Those things are so efficient the evacuated collector that they can get water to boil in 15 degrees or lower

[@Vijaykumar-ho7xg]

Hi paul which type of pipe you used to connect the outlet of the parabolic trough.

[@paulsoucy5834]

Hi Sir, sorry for the delay, I used teflon tubing with stainless steel braiding on the outside. Thank you! Have a great day, Paul

[@mehmetbaygin8631]

It s great manufactoring...thanks

[@paulsoucy5834]

Thank you!

[@zdenekz530]

wow... fantasy. can this construction be done by yourself? can this heat be stored in the ground or can this heat be converted into electricity that could be stored?

[@paulsoucy5834]

Hi, Sorry for the delay. Yes you could with a larger system. Thanks you! Have a great day, Paul

[@sfdidg]

wonderful 🎉❤

[@paulsoucy5834]

Thank you!

[@Victor-su8le]

Hello Paul, what type of pipe tube (collector) are using? staninless steel? Regards.

[@prizonfrost123]

He said copper tube with a high heat absorbing coating

[@paulsoucy5834]

Hi, Sorry for the delay. For this application we are using type K copper tubing. Thank you! Have a great day, Paul

[@jeffstout6567]

Where would one find 97% reflective material material for a project like this. Great project, thanks

[@notagain1952]

That is standard reflectivity of aluminum

[@jeffstout6567]

Flashing material?

[@justtinkering6713]

Use aluminized mylar. Space blanket

[@paulsoucy5834]

You need to search around the internet. Thank you! Have a great day, Paul

[@Hydro97]

can you explain how much liquid it heats on how much L/min

[@paulsoucy5834]

Hi, Sorry for the delay! This system was shipping out to a college so I did not put any liquid in the system. Thank you! Have a great day, Paul

[@vmntuber]

What fluid is used for heat transfer for such high temperatures? It is really amazing such high temperatures can be achieved by solar system.

[@jeffstout6567]

Brake fluid, soybean oil

[@paulsoucy5834]

Hi, Sorry for the delay. This system was shiping out to a college so I did not have any fluid in the absorber tube. Thank you! Have a great day, Paul

[@johnr5252]

This is amazing……..what the hell is it???

[@bhawal08]

pls shear motor and gear system details

[@paulsoucy5834]

Hi, Its called a slewing drive with a 24 Volt DC Motor. Thank you! Have a good day, Paul

[@guitar81sb]

Cost?

[@paulsoucy5834]

Hi, Sorry for the delay! Please email us at [e-mail] Thank you! Have a great day, Paul

[@ahmedqailani4734]

How much cost ?

[@paulsoucy5834]

[@markae0]

I hate the wrong angle video.

[@paulsoucy5834]

Sorry! I am not a profesion video guy. I did this cold turkey no editing. Thanks! Have a good day, Paul

Sorry! I am not a profesion video guy. I did this cold turkey no editing. Thanks! Have a good day, Paul

[@gevo9064]

Stolen

[@paulsoucy5834]
