Abstract
A solar ray concentration system comprises a set of flat collection mirrors 1.1 which are each supported by a vertical member 1.11 with electrical motors to control the orientations of mirrors, so that the solar rays 1.5 are always reflected by the mirrors towards a planoconcave or concave mirror 1.2 placed beside each of the mirrors 1.1. The planoconcave or concave mirrors 1.2 concentrate the rays 1.5 towards a planoconvex or convex mirror 1.9 placed just in front of each planoconcave or concave mirror 1.2. The light rays are driven at flat reflection mirror 1.13, which drives the light rays upwards to another flat reflection mirror 1.4 which then drives the light rays towards the lowest part of the next planoconcave or concave mirror. The rays are directed towards a fluid tank 1.7 which includes a heat exchanger 1.5. This heats a water circuit 1.6 .
Description
Title: Overground positioned solar ray concentration system for a power generation system
Technical field:
CSP power plant engineering
Description:
The present invention comprises a solar ray concentration system which comprises a plurality of concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2) which are sustained over the ground level surface (1.18) by a set of horizontal members (1.6), which are sustained by a set of vertically projecting members (1.12). The flat solar ray collection mirrors or heliostats (1.1) drive the solar light rays (1.5) towards the concave or Plano concave minors (1.2), which concentrate said light rays onto a convex mirror (1.9). Then, said convex mirror (1.9) drives said light drays horizontally towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (1.4, 1.13), which adjust the position of said driven light rays (1.14), such that these (1.14) can be driven towards the next Plano concave or concave mirror (1.2) for light concentration. So, said light rays are concentrated, with both previously collected and new light rays simultaneously being driven to the next concave or Plano convex mirror (1.9). So, the previously mentioned process is repeated over a finite number of times until reaching the last concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2), hence driving the light rays all along thc on the ground surface (1.18) laid power generation system. Said light rays (1.14) increase in light ray intensity until reaching the final concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2), where these (1.14) then reach the heat exchanger or steam generator (1.8) for heat collection and transfer of heat to the primary water circuit (1.16), as well as to the energy storage fluid tank (1_7). Said renewable energy system comprises a plurality of flat solar light ray collection mirrors or heliostats (1.1), each beside one Plano concave or concave mirror (1.2), and one Plano convex or convex mirror (1.9). All of said system's components are sustained over the ground's surface (1.18).
Figure I comprises a side view of the renewable power generating system, which is laid over the ground surface (1.18).

The present invention comprises a set of flat collection mirrors or heliostats (1.1) which are each comprised of a vertical member (1.11), with electrical motors to control the attitudes of said mirrors or heliostats, in order for the solar rays (1.5) to be always reflected by said mirrors or heliostats (1.1) towards a Plano concave or concave minor (1.2) comprised beside each of said mirrors or heliostats (1.1). So, said solar rays are directed towards said Plano concave or concave mirrors (1.2), which then concentrate said light rays (1.5) towards a Plano convex or convex minor (1.9) comprised just in front of and under each of said Plano concave or concave mirrors (1.2). So, said light rays are driven by said Plano convex or convex mirror (1.9) towards a flat reflection mirror (1.13). Said flat inimn (1.13) drives said light rays upwards to another flat reflection mirror (1.4), which drives said light rays towards the lowest part of the next Plano concave or concave mirror (1.2) comprised beside the next flat collection mirror or heliostat (1.1). Said flat reflection mirrors (1.4, 1.13) are comprised under and behind said next flat collection mirror or heliostat (1.1).
The computerised control system connected to the flat solar ray collection mirrors (1.1), make said mirrors act as heliostats, and are hence heliostats due to said nature.
A set of vertical mast structures (1.12) sustain the horizontal mast structured structure (1.6), which sustains all flat collection heliostats (1.1), as well as all Plano concave or concave mirrors (1.2) and Plano convex or convex mirrors (1.9). Said flat reflection mirrors (1.4, 1.13) are sustained by said vertical mast structures (1.12), while said convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9) are sustained to said horizontal members (1.6) by a vertically projecting member (1.10). So, said structure (1.6) sustained said mirrors (1.1, 1.3,1.9, 1.4, 1.13) above the ground level surface (1.18) at all times. A horizontal positioned mirror structure (1.3) can also be comprised at the outer upper end of said Plano concave or concave mirrors (12) for safety reasons in order to make sure that said convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9) do not drive light rays towards the open air upwards in the case of accident.
So, said solar rays (1.5) are all simultaneously collected and reflected by said light collection heliostats (1.1), such that these light rays (1.5) are each time concentrated by said concave or Plano concave minors (1.2) simultaneously while said concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2) also concentrate the newly collected light rays towards said convex or Plano convex mirror (1.9). So, the light rays of the previously positioned collection heliostats (1.1) are concentrated simultaneously with the light rays of the laterally positioned collection heliostat (1.1), by said concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2) towards said convex or Plano convex mirror (1.9).
Said convex minor (1.9) drives said light rays via said flat reflection mirrors (IA, 1.13) towards the next light collection system, where the same process is repeated again. So, this process is repeated over a plurality of times, each time producing concentrated light rays (1.14) with higher light intensities, until said highly concentrated light rays (1.14), are reflected by the last convex or Plano convex mirror (1.9) to the heat exchanger or steam generator (1.8). Said solar reflected light rays (1.5), as well as the concentrated light rays (1.14), are always sustained over the ground surface (1.18), as are all the components of the system.
Said flat collection heliostats (1.1) are each comprised over a vertical member (1.11), which is sustained by the horizontal structural members (1.6). Each of said light collection heliostats (1.1) comprises an electrical power motor system, which orientates the mirrors (1.1) in order for each of said mirrors (1.1) to comprise its own orientation actuation system in order to position said mirrors (1.1) into the required orientation in order to collect the incoming solar rays (1.5), according to their (1.5) angle of projection towards the ground. Said minors (1.1) are therefore heliostats (1.1).
Said concentrated light rays (1.14) are driven to said heat exchanger or steam generator (1.8) ate the end of the light rays concentrating process. Said heat exchanger or steam generator (1.8) collects the heat from the light rays (1.14), and transfers it to the energy storage fluid comprised in the energy storage fluid tank (1.7). In this case, said heat exchanger or steam generator (1.8) is comprised inside the energy storage fluid tank's structure (1.7). The primary circuit pipe (1.16) can drive primary circuit fluid, preferably water, through a pipe (1.16), and by the force of an electric pump (1.15), through said heat exchanger or steam generator (1.8). So, said primary circuit (1.16) can collect the heat form said light rays, and convert said fluid into steam when flowing through said heat exchanger or steam generator (1.8), before being driven through the exit pipe (1.17) in order to drive a sterun turbine. Said steam turbine would in turn drive a generator to generate electricity.
A flat reflection mirror (2.1) can be comprised in order to drive said light rays towards the top surface of said heat storage tank (2.4), over which said heat exchanger or steam generator (2.3), is comprised to collected said heat. So, said heat can be simultaneously transferred to the energy storage fluid inside said tank (2.4), and to the primary circuit water pipe (1.16), by the means of said heat exchanger or steam generator (2.3). A vertical member (2.2) can also be comprised behind said flat reflection mirror (2.1) in order to protect the outskirts of the system from any light rays in case of accidental undesired light projection. Said vertical member (2.2) is a safety design feature.
Said concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2) are comprised projecting partly towards the solar ray collection heliostat (1.1), and partly towards the ground surface (1.18), while said convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9), face partly towards the lower flat reflection mirror (1.13), and partly upwards towards said flat safety mirror structure (1.3) comprised over it (1.9). M all times, said concave or Plano concave minors (1.2) are comprised above said convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9). Said concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2) can also be comprised upside down, but the access to the light rays would be severely diminished for the light collection heliostats (1.1), due to the positioning of the convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9), as well as due to the upper structural part of said concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2), which would restrict light ray access to the lateral light collection heliostat (1.1) if the positon of the sun drives the light rays (1.5) at a shallow angle compared to the ground surface level (1.18).
Said Plano concave or concave minors (1.2) can also be comprised more laterally towards the right or towered the left of the next flat solar ray collection heliostat (1.1). Said design is suitable if the solar my concentration system layout has to avoid an obstacle along the path, such as a geological obstacle such as a hill or rocks. In this case, the upper (3.1) and lower (3.4) flat reflection mirrors are not only inclined upwards at 45 degrees, but are also inclined sideways at the required angle which is needed towards the required side in order to move sad light rays (1.14) to the new required position of projection. So, said light rays can be driven as required to the laterally positioned components.
Said lower flat reflection minor (3.4) is comprised on the original position, while the upper flat reflection mirror (3.1) is comprised on the newly positioned line of light driving and reflection, such that the lower flat mirror (14) drives said light rays (1.14) to the upper flat mirror (3.1) while said next flat collection heliostat (1.1) is positioned to a lateral side compared to the previous light collection heliostat (1.1). The upper flat mirror (3.1) is sustained by a horizontal downward inclined member (3.2), while said lower flat reflection mirror (3.4) is sustained in its position by a horizontal member (3.6). Both flat mirrors (3.1, 3.4) are sustained by said vertical sustaining members (3.5), while said horizontal member (3.3) is sustained in its required position by said vertical members (3.5).
Said electrical actuators are comprised on said vertical member (1.11), and hence under each separate flat solar ray collection heliostat (1.1), and control the orientation of said mirrors (1.1) in all; y, and z axis simultaneously, according to the direction of projection of the solar rays (1.5), such that said solar rays will always be reflected and driven towards said concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2) at all times.
Said Plano concave or convex mirrors (1.9) can also be concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.9) if these (1.9) are comprised further away from said Plano concave or concave mirrors (1.2) than said concave or Plano concave mirror's (1.2) focal point This design would however take more ground surface space (1.18), as is the design comprising the concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2) facing partly upwards towards the skyline.
The solar ray concentration system can also comprise the heat exchanger or steam generator (4.1) transferring the collected heat to the primary circuit pipe (4.3) and the energy storage fluid pipe (4.2) simultaneously. With said design, said heat exchanger or steam generator (4.1) supplies heat to said primary circuit water in its pipe (4.3), and supplies heat to the energy storage fluid comprised in said tank (5.1) simultaneously. Said energy storage fluid can also be driven by an electric pump (4.4).
Said power generation system can also comprise its heat exchanger or steam generator inside a closed pipe (5.2) which flows under the last concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2), and which also comprises said primary water circuit pipe (5.3) and said energy storage fluid pipe (5.4) simultaneously inside said pipe (5.2). So, the primary circuit (5.3) can collect the required heat, while the energy storage fluid can be simultaneously driven to said energy storage fluid tank (5.1) with the newly collected heat inside. Both pipes (5.3, 5.4) comprises their own septate ducting and pipes, and both the Plano concave or concave mirrors (1.2), as well as said pipe structure (5.2) which projects along the focal point of said concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2), are static positioned structures.
Said pipe (5.2, 6.3) projects just along the focal point of the last concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2, 6.4), in order to maximise the efficiency of heat collection of the concentrated light rays (1.14), and to transfer said heat simultaneously to both the primary water circuit pipe (5.3, 6.1) and the energy storage fluid pipe (5.4, 6.2). Said concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2,6.4) and said focal point positioned pipe (5.2,6.3) are all static structures, as are the convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9) and the flat reflection mirrors (1.4, 1.13, 3.1, 3.4).
Said concave or Plano concave minors (1.2, 6.4) are comprised projecting downwards, as if it rains, no rainwater could easily be comprised over the surface of the concave or Plano concave mirrors (1 2 64). hence maximising the light reflection efficiency of said concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2, 6.4). Simultaneously for the convex or Plano convex minors (1.9), said horizontal projecting component (1.3) which is sustained by the outer part of the concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2, 6.4) comprised at the place concerned, protects said convex of Plano (=vex mirror (1.9) from the rainwater, hence avoiding any undesired light reflections after the rain due to the rainwater reflecting said light rays onto undesired accidental directions. This design hence maximises the working efficiency of said concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2, 6.4), as well as that of said convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9, 6.3) simultaneously.
A glassed structure can also be comprised all along the power generation system, hence offering a full transparent shield all over the entire power generation system. This design would hence protect said power generation system from undesired rain water or snow. Said glassed structure should be made of steel members, with clear glass panels being comprised in between said members, hence protecting said mirrors (1.1, 1.9, 1.2, 6.4, 1.4, 1.13, 3.1, 3.4) from environmental damages. An electrically powered de-icing system can also be comprised on the flat solar ray collection heliostats (1.1), the convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9), the concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2, 6.4), and the flat reflection mirrors (1.4, 1.13, 3.1, 3.4).
Said system power generation system design comprised in this invention offers the lowest constmction and maintenance cost solution for concentrated solar power, but does however require a larger ground surface (1.18) area, hence adding costs from that direction. The design which comprises a heat exchanger or steam generator comprised inside a pipe (5.2, 6.3) comprised at the focal point of said last concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2, 6.4), reduces the construction and maintenance costs of the CSP system dramatically, as no heat exchangers or steam generators (1.7, 2.4, 4.1) have to be separately built and maintained beside said solar ray concentrating system.
The primary circuit fluid should preferably be water, while the energy storage fluid should preferably be pressurised steam, molten salt, or synthetic oil. Said flat reflection mirrors (1.4, 1.13, 3.1, 3.4) should preferably be inclined at 45 degrees vertically. Said flat reflection mirror (2.1) which reflects said concentrated light rays (1.14) downwards should also be preferably inclined at 45 degrees vertically. Said minor inclination will reduce the required space needed for the light reflections of said mirrors (1.4, 1.13, 3.1, 3.4, 2.1) to a minimum.
Said convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9) should always comprise a lower radius of curvature than said concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2, 6.4) in order for said convex or Plano convex mirror (1.9) to reflect efficiently the concentrated light rays towards said flat reflection mirrors (1.4, 1.13, 3.1, 3.4). Said convex or Plano convex mirrors (1.9) should also be comprised closer to said concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2, 6.4) than the focal point of said concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2, 6.4), such that said concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2, 6.4) can concentrate efficiently the light rays towards said convex or Plano convex mirror (1.9). Said convex or Plano convex minor (1.9) then reflects said light rays towards said flat reflection mirrors (1.4, 1.13, 3.1, 3.4). Said design should be comprised in front of each concave or Plano concave mirror (1.2,6.4) comprised on said power generation system.
Each of said flat solar ray collection heliostats (1.1) are attached to a rotational pivot (1.19), which can rotate each of said heliostats (1.1) along a vertical axis and a horizontal axis simultaneously. So, said pivots (1.19) can rotate each of said heliostats (1.1) sideways, as well as upwards or downwards, hence positioning said flat heliostats always accurately opposite to the solar rays (1.5) which project over the solar ray collection system. This allows said system to constantly drive the incoming solar rays into the concave or Plano concave mirrors (1.2) for light ray concentration.
Said pivots (1.19) are actuated by a computerised control system, which sends commands to said pivot's (1.19) actuators for small corrections according to the orientation of the projection of said light rays (1.5). Said computerised control system is programmed for at least the length of an entire year, with a timed light ray orientation and projection envelope for said light rays (1.5), saved for each single day on said computer's database. So, said control computer can constantly control the orientation of said flat light ray collection mirrors (1.1) by actuating said rotational pivots (1.19) continuously, each time actuating a small correction, hence making said mirrors (1.1) heliostats (1.1). Said computerised control system can also function with a sensor which senses the orientation of the projecting solar rays (1.5) over the solar ray collection system. Said computer can either function with the programmed data for each date and time on its database, or with said sensor or with a solar clock, in order to determine accurately and constantly, the orientation of the projecting light rays for each single day of the year concerned.
Said solar ray concentration system can also be comprised on rough terrain (7.6). in this case, the railing which are comprised on the highest points (7.4) will be comprised higher than said railings which are comprised along the lower points (7.1). Flat reflection mirrors (7.5) comprised at the end of each system, drive the light rays upwards or downwards to the level of projection towards the next concave or Plano concave mirror (7.2), depending on the height of the next railings (7.4) comprised to the railings (7.1) of the system concerned. Said flat reflection mirrors (7.5) are inclined upward to drive light rays up, or downwards to drive light rays down, depending on the difference in height of the railings (7.1,7.4) on said rough terrain (7.6). Said lower flat reflection mirror (7.5) is comprised just in front of the prior convex or Plano convex mirror (1.9). Said upper flat mirror (7.5) is comprised just in front of the next concave or Plano concave mirror (7.2) concerned. Said light collection heliostats (7.3) are controlled and oriented onto the required direction by computer controlled rotational pivots (7.7). Said pivots (7.7) actuate said minors (7.3) onto the required orientation continuously.
Said computerised control system controls said solar my collection heliostats (7.3) along both x, y and z axis, and said commands are hence sent to the actuators, which in Imo rotate said rotational pivots (7.7).
Said supporting railings (8.1) which support said mirrors (7.2, 8.2, 8.5) into position, can be moved from different positions due to the rough terrain (8.4) present, such that the railings (8.3) would be comprised at different altitudes along the solar ray collection system. If said light rays need to be moved down after being concentrated, said light rays are driven by a set of flat reflection mirrors (8.2, 8.5), with both mirrors facing downwards. The inclinations of said mirrors (8.2, 8.5) should be 45 degrees preferably. The top mirror (8.2) faces said incoming light rays, while the lower minor (8.5) faces the next concave or Plano concave mirror (7.2), towards which it (8.5) drives the light rays Said flat reflection mirrors (8.2, 8.5) are comprised between said previous concave or Plano concave mirror (7.2) and said next flat light ray collection heliostat (7.3). Said design assures that said light rays are positioned suitably to be concentrated again in the next light concentration system by said next concave or Plano concave mirror (7.2).
Mother design can comprise a set of two pairs of flat reflection mirrors (9.1, 9.2, 9.3) being comprised on the same place as said flat mirrors (8.2, 8.5), with one pair of flat minors (9.1) comprised over the lower pair (9.2, 9.3) of flat mirrors. This system design allows the moving of the light ray projection positions, no matter whether these are very small or very large, with total accuracy. As all flat minors (9.1, 9.2, 9.3) are inclined at 45 degrees, said light rays are driven around said set of mirrors (9.1,9.2, 9.3), being driven along the inside surfaces. Said light rays are driven by the lower light collection mirror (9.2) up onto said upper two flat mirrors (9.1), in order to be finally driven onto said lower lateral mirror (9.3). Said minor drives said light rays onto the required position of projection, towards said next concave or Plano concave minor (7.2). Said pairs of mirrors always comprise one flat mirror (9.2,9.4) being oriented with its surface at 90 degree perpendicular to that of the lateral flat mirror (9.3, 9.5).
If said light rays have to be moved to a lower point, said lateral mirror (9.3) is sustained with its upper edge (9.3) attached to a lower point along the back surface of the light collection mirror (9.2). However, if said light rays have to be moved to an upper point, said lateral mirror (9.5) is mounted such that it is the light collection mirror (9.4) that is sustained by its upper edge (9.4) to a pint along the back surface (9.5) of said lateral mirror (9.5). Said system designs are always comprised along the lower pairs of flat mirrors (9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5). If said light rays have to be moved to a much lower point, the distance between the top pairs (9.1) and the lower pairs (9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.5) can be increased to the required height, according to design requirements.
However, if said light rays have to be moved to a point which is much higher, a set of two flat mirrors (7.5) is the moist suitable design option.
Said light ray collection and concentration system can comprise both sets of top (10.1) and bottom (10.2) flat reflection mirrors, as well as said sets of top pairs of flat mirrors (10.3) being comprised over said sets of lower flat mirrors (10.4, 10.5), such that said system is comprised on a different location. So, designers can choose the required light reflection system according to the change in height of the light rays required, as well as the height change required for said horizontally projected light rays. This depends purely on design specifications. Said designers can hence use one system (10.1, 10.2) or the other (10.3, 10.4, 10.5) on different locations along said light ray collection systems, according to design requirements. Said light delivery flat mirror (10.5) is attached at 90 degree perpendicularly to a place along the rear surface of the lower light collection mirror (10.4) in this case, as said light rays have to be moved slightly downwards.
Said solar light rays can be also efficiently delivered to said lower flat heliostats (11.3), even if said light rays project towards the back of said flat mirrors (11.3). This can be achieved by comprising a flat heliostat (11.1) being comprised over the upper edge of each concave or Plano concave mirror (11.4). So, if said solar light rays project oppositely to said lower heliostat (11.3), said upper heliostat (11.1) reflects said light rays, and drives these directly towards said lower heliostat (11.3). Said lower heliostat (11.3) then drives said light rays towards the concave or Nano concave mirror (11.4) which is comprised in front of said lower flat heliostat (11.3). So, said system design maximises the surface area of the mirrors which reflect light rays, and hence maximises the light ray concentration being driven towards said lower heliostat (11.3), which is then driven to the concave or Plano concave mirror (11.4) directly in turn.
Said oppositely facing upper flat heliostats (11.1) are each mounted over said upper edge of said lower positioned concave or Plano concave mirror (11.4), and are sustained by a set of vertical members (16.4), which are sustained by the sustaining railings (11.2). Said railings (11.2) sustain said structures (16.4) and said mirrors (11.4) at each light rays collection section. Said system can also be comprised on rough terrain (115), without any matter of how the terrain is. Said flat heliostats (11.1, 11.3) can always be arranged to collect the maximum light ray concentration, according to the position of the sun, and the reaction of projection of said light rays. The rotational pivots (11.7) of said upper flat heliostats (11.1) assure that said flat heliostats (11.1, 11.3) are always correctly oriented, such that the light rays are always driven towards said lower flat heliostats (11.3), according to the position of the sun. Said rotational pivots (11.6) of said lower flat heliostats (11.3) assure that said light rays are always reflected towards the frontal positioned Plano concave or concave mirror (11.4), without any matter of the sun's position. Said rotational pivots (11.6 11.7) are constantly controlled by actuators, which are controlled all day long by a computerised system. Said pivots can rotate each of said flat heliostats (11.1, 11.3) individually about all x, y and z axis, according to the sun's position and the direction of projection of its light rays towards the ground, such that said heliostats (11.1,113) are always properly oriented.
If said light rays should be driven to a slightly lower position of projection, said upper flat mirrors (12.2) with said light collection (12.3) and light delivery (12.4) mirrors, can perform the job without any issue. Said flat mirrors (12.2, 12.3, 12.4) are always mounted over each other in two pairs (12.2, 12.3, 12.4), with each pair (12.2, 12.3, 12.4) comprising two flat mirrors (12.2, 12.3, 12.4) being mounted at 90 degrees perpendicularly to each other. In this case, said light delivery mirror (12.4) is mounted to the rear surface of the light collection mirror (12.3). Said sustaining railings (12.1) sustain the structural components constantly, and said rotational pivots (12.5, 12.6) assure that said flat heliostats (11.1, 11.3) are always oriented towards the required directions, with all lower (123) and upper (12.6) heliostat control pivots operating separately and individually.
Said solar ray collection systems can be comprised along supporting members (13.1) which comprises a continuous height along the entire system, provided that said terrain is not rough. So, said flat lower heliostats (13.2) can be supported by the required rotational pivots (13.4), while said upper heliostats (13.3) can be in turn supported by the required rotational pivots (13.5). Each rotational pivot (13.4, 13.5)15 supported by the supporting members (16.4) for said upper heliostat (13.3), and separately by said supporting members (16.3) for said lower heliostats (13.2) respectively. Both of said supporting members (16.3, 16.4) are sustained into position by the supporting members (13.1). Each rotational pivot (13.4, 133) of each heliostat (13.2, 13.3) is operated separately and individually by an actuator, which follows the commands of the computerised heliostat control system.
Said upper flat heliostats (14.1) can be inclined such that the flat surfaces of said heliostats (14.1) project at 90 degrees perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said solar light rays (14.2). Said design feature should only be used by the control system if said solar rays (14.2) project directly towards the lower heliostats (14.3) at angles of 45 degrees to the ground or lower. In that case, the computerised control system will instruct the actuators of the rotational pivots (13.5) of the upper heliostats (14.1) to incline the upper flat mirrors (14.1), such that these (14.1) comprise the surfaces projecting just perpendicularly to the incoming solar rays (14.2). Said design will hence minimise the obstruction of said upper heliostat (14.1), such that said light rays can reach said lower heliostats (14.3) with a maximum light concentration, hence offering a maximum efficiency. Said rotational pivots (13.4,13.5) are constantly controlled by actuators, which are constantly controlled by a computerised control system, which sends conunands to said actuators, in order to execute minor corrections in orientation to said flat heliostats (14.1, 14.3). Said actuators can rotate said pivots (13.5) of said upper heliostats (14.1) to the required positions if required.
Said light rays would project directly towards said lower heliostat (14.3), which would be accurately inclined by said rotational pivots (13.4), such that it (14.3) would drive the light rays towards the frontal positioned concave or Plano concave mirror (11.4). Said upper heliostats (14.1) should in this case be inclined at 90 degrees perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light rays (14.2). This would maximise the light collection and reflection efficiencies of said lower heliostats (14.3), towards the concave or Plano concave mirror (11.4) concerned.
Said supporting members (14.4) support all systems, including concave or Plano concave mirrors (11.4), as well as said heliostats (14.1, 14.3). The terrain on which said system is comprised, can be rough, with said system performing perfectly as required, but however with the need of flat reflection mirror systems (10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) in order to position the light rays at the required position of projection.
Said upper inclined heliostats (15.1) can be inclined at 90 degrees perpendicularly to the direction of projection of the solar rays (15.3), such that said light rays are reflected by said lower flat heliostats (15.2) towards the frontal petitioned concave or Plano concave mirror (15.4), with no matter how rough or irregular the terrain over which the system is comprised, is. Said upper heliostat mirrors' (15.1) inclination maximises the light rays collected and reflected by said lower heliostats (15.2), hence maximising the light concentration of said system, and hence maximising the efficiency of said system. This would mean a maximum system power generation efficiency, with no matter where the sun is positioned, or at which direction are the solar light rays (15.3) projecting towards the ground.
Said lower heliostats (16.1) are supported by vertical members (16.3), with one vertical projecting member (163) at each side of said mirrors (16.1). Each of said vertical members (16.3) is sustained by the supporting member (16.5) comprised at the side concerned. One supporting member (16.5) at each side is comprised to sustain the required systems into place. A similar design is present for the upper heliostats (16.2), which are sustained by a vertically projecting member (16.4) at each side of said mirrors (16.2). Each side comprises a vertically projecting member (16.4) which is sustained into the required position by said horizontally projecting sustaining members (16.5). One horizontally sustained member (16.5) is comprised at each side As one member (16.4) is comprised at each side said sustained system does not obstruct the view of said lower heliostat (16.1) towards said concave or Plano concave mirror (11.4). Said members (16.4) sustain said upper heliostats (16.2). Said vertical members (16.4) can also sustain the upper prat of said concave or Plano concave mirror (11.4) if required, without obstructing its frontal view to said lower heliostat (16.1), hence sustaining the upper heliostat (16.2) as well simultaneously.
Said upper heliostats (16.2) should be inclined at 90 degrees perpendicularly to the incoming solar rays (16.6) if these (16.6) project directly towards said lower heliostat (16.1), hence minimising any obstruction of said upper heliostat (16.2) on the incoming solar rays (16.6). This would maximise the efficiency of light ray collection by said lower heliostat (16.1), and hence maximise said system's efficiency. The horizontally projecting sustaining members (16.5) can span along the entire system length if the terrain is flat or unchanged in height along the length of said light ray collection system. Said system can also be comprised on flat terrain hence saving the number of horizontally protecting sustaining members (16.5) that are requited.
The upper flat heliostats (17.3a, 17.2b) are attached to the rotational pivots (17.11a, 17.11b) each, with each of said pivots attached to actuators. Said systems (17.3a, 17.11a, 17.2b, 17.11b) we each sustained onto the required positions by sets of two vertically projecting members (17.5a, 17.5b) for each upper flat heliostat (17.3a, 17.2b). Said vertically projecting members (17.5a, 17.5b) are sustained by a horizontally projecting sustaining member (17.6a, 17.6b) at each side. Said vertically projecting sustaining members (17.4a, 17.3b) sustain the supporting members (17.6a, 17.6b) on the ground surface at each side, hence comprising one vertical member (17.4a, 17.3b) for each horizontally projecting member (17.6a, 17.66) at each side.
If the position of horizontal projection of said light rays (17.7a) should be moved slightly downwards, said light rays (17.7a) are driven along the surface of the flat collection mirror (17.9a), which drives said light rays to the tow upper flat driving mirrors (17.1a, 17.2a), with said last driving mirror (17.2a) finally delivering said light rays (17.7a) vertically downwards towards the light delivery mirror (17.10a). Said mirror (17.10a) drives said light rays (17.8a) as required horizontally, but at a lower point of projection. Said set of two upper flat mirrors (17.1a, 17.2a) are inclined at 45 degrees to the sustaining members (17.6a), and are comprised with surfaces being at 90 degrees perpendicular to each other. Said upper set of flat mirrors (17.1a, I7.2a) comprises the two mirrors (17.1a, I7.2a) supported to each other at the upper edges, and sustained by both the main vertically projecting supporting member (17.4a) and the horizontal member supported (17.6a) vertically projecting member (I 7.5a). Said upper flat mirrors (17.1a, 17.2a) are preferably supported over the supporting horizontal member (17.6a).
The lower set of mirrors (17.9a, I7.10a) are comprised just under the upper set of minors (17.1a, 17.2a), and preferably under the horizontal supporting member (17.6a). Said mirrors (17.9a, 17.10a) are flat. Said mirrors (17.9a, 17.10a) are supported by the main vertical supporting member (17.4a) which supports the lower edge of the light rays collection mirror (17.9a), and the horizontally projecting sustaining member (17.6a) which supports the upper edge of the light collection mirror (17.9a). Said light delivery mirror (17.10a) is sustained by comprising its upper edge mounted to the back surface of the light collection mirror (17.9a). Both mirrors (17.9a, 17.10a) are inclined at 90 degrees each, and the surfaces (17.9a, 17.10a) project at 90 degrees perpendicular to each other. Said light delivery mirror (17.1(M) drives said light rays (17.8a) horizontally away at the required point of projection.
If said light rays (17:7b) should be moved to a slightly higher position of horizontal projection, a similar designs comprised, but however with said light collection mirror (17.86) being mounted to the back surface of the light delivery mirror (17.9b). So, in that case, said light rays (I7.7b) are driven towards the light collection mirror (17.8b), which drives said light rays vertically upwards to the set of two light driving mirrors (17.1b, 17.4b). Said mirrors (17.1b, 17.4b) drive the light rays (17.7b) horizontally over the light delivery mirror (17.96), such that said lateral mirror (17.4b) finally drives said light rays (17.7b) vertically downwards to the light delivery mirror (I7.9b). Finally said light delivery mirror (17.96) finally drives said light rays (17.10b) horizontally again along the same direction as previously, but along the required point of projection, which in this case is slightly more upwards. So, said light delivery mirror (17.9b) drives finally said light rays (17.10b) horizontally as required, and away from said system.
Said upper flat mirrors (17.1b, 17.2b) are sustained to each other at the upper edges, and are preferably sustained over said supporting horizontal members (17.6b) by said main vertically projecting supporting member (17.3b) and said horizontal member (17.66) supported vertical member (17.5b). Said last mentioned vertical member (17.5b) in turn supports the upper flat heliostat ( I 7.2b) concerned. The lower edge of said upper light collection mirror (17.1b) is sustained by said main vertical member (17.36), while the lower edge of the upper light delivery mirror (17.4b) is sustained by said vertical member (17.56), which is sustained by said horizontal member (17.6b) and which sustains the upper heliostat (1 7.2b). Said upper mirrors (17.1b, I 7.4b) attach to each other at the upper edges, and are positioned at 90 degrees perpendicularly to each other (17.1b, 17.4b).
The lower set of flat mirrors (17.8b, 17.9b) are comprised just under the upper set of flat mirrors (17.1b, 17.46). Said mirrors (17.86, 17.96) are both flat and are attached to each other, with the light collection minor (17.80 comprising the surface projecting at 90 degrees perpendicular to the surface of the lateral light delivery mirror (17.9b). Said light collection mirror (17.86) is supported at the lower edge by the main vertical projecting member (17.3b), which supports the structure over the ground floor, while the light delivery mirror (17.9b) is sustained by its upper edge to the horizontally projecting sustaining member (17.610. Said mirrors (17.8b, 17.96) should preferably be comprised under the horizontally projecting supporting member (17.613). The light collection mirror (17.8b) attaches to the back surface of the light delivery mirror (17.9b). This allows the surface of said light delivery mirror (I7.9b) to be comprised at a slightly higher point compared to said light collection minor (17.8b), hence driving the resulting light rays (17.1014 as horizontally a before, but along a slightly higher point of projection compared to the previous situation (17.7b).
Said sets of two pairs of flat mirrors (17.1a, 17.2a, 17.1b, 17.46) mounted over each other (17.9a, 17.10a, 17.8b, 17.96) allow the positions of projection of said light rays to be moved by a very small distance either upwards or downwards, in order for said light rays to be driven along the required direction towards the next lower flat heliostat (13.2, 16.1) if said next system is positioned more upwards or downwards. Said heliostats (13.2, 16.1, 13.3, 16.2) are both oriented in all x, y and z axis according to the sun's position at all times by the mans of a computerised control system, which feeds signals to the actuators which actuate the rotational pivots (13.4, 13.5) that actuate said heliostats (13.2,16.1, 13.3, 16.2).
Said supporting members (18.1, 18.10) are supported by the supporting horizontal members (18.7, 18.8), which support the entire structure over the ground surface. So, the sets of flat reflection mirrors (18.2) are hence supported by said supporting members (18.8), as are perpendicular members (18.10) which sustain the lower heliostats (18.10). The supporting member (18.5) which sustains said vertical member that sustains said upper heliostat (18.4), is also supported by said sustaining members (18.8). Said design comprises flat reflection mirrors (18.6, 18.11,18.9, 18.12) that move the light rays to a lateral position of projection. Said lateral system is sustained by perpendicular projecting members (18.7), which project perpendicularly to the sustaining members (18.8).
So, the light collection mirror (18.6) moves said light rays upwards, and simultaneously to the side by being inclined sideways. So, the light driving mirror (18.11), which is comprised over the light collection mirror (18.6), drives the light rays along the required sideways path, which is positioned laterally to the previous path, and is comprised between the two sustaining members (18.8). If said light rays should be moved to the other sideways direction, said flat mirrors (18.9, 18.12) are inclined sideways towards the opposite direction, such that said light collection mirrors (18.12) drive said light rays to the side, hence along said light delivery mirror (18.9) to deliver the light rays projecting along the required path. Said light delivery mirror (18.9, 18.11) is comprised over the light collection mirror (18.6, 18.12). However, said light collection minors (18.6, 18.12) can be comprised over the light delivery mirrors (18.9, 18.11) if the ground surface's topology and geometry requires the light rays to be moved downwards to a lower position of horizontal light ray projection.
The surfaces and edges of the light collection mirrors (18.6, 18.12) project just in parallel to the surfaces and edges of the light delivery mirrors (18.9, 18.11), or vice versa, but the design should comprise both light collection (18.6, 18.12) and light delivery (18.9, 18.11) mirrors in parallel to each other, in order for the light rays to still project toward the same direction of projection after being shifted horizontally sideways.
The pivots (19.1) which sustain the upper heliostat (19.6), are comprised in front and over the Plano concave or concave mirrors (19.2) for the case of each light collection and concentration system. The Plano convex or convex mirrors (19.5) are comprised under said upper heliostat (19.6). Said systems can be positioned one beside the other, and not only projecting in parallel to each other, but also projecting perpendicularly to each other at any angle suitable. So, said systems can be comprised projecting in parallel to each other (19.2, 193), or perpendicularly (1913, 19] 5) to each other. Said light rays (19.16) of all systems can be reflected by flat mirrors (19.4, 19.10, 19.14) towards a heat exchanger or steam generator (19.12), which transfers the heat to both primary and/or secondary circuits. Said circuits flow through intake pipes (19.9) into said heat exchanger or steam generator (19.12), and flow out of the system with the heat collected, through exit pipes (19.8). The flat mirrors (19.4, 19.10, 19.14) are sustained over the ground by vertically projecting members (19.3). The systems (19.7) which project directly towards said heat exchanger or steam generator (19.12) do not need any flat reflection mirrors to guide the light rays. The mirrors (19.2, 19.5, 19.6) are sustained by the latterly positioned sustaining members (19.11), which sustain the components of each system (192, 19.7,19.13, 19.15) over the ground surface.
The sideways inclined flat light reflection minors (20.2, 20.3) are sustained by the rear vertically projecting member (20.1), which is comprised just behind these (20.2, 20.3). The light collection mirror (20.3) is comprised under the light delivery mirror (20.2). However, said light delivery mirror (20.2) can be a light collection mirror if said light rays need to be moved downwards due to alterations in terrain height due to terrain topology. In this case, the light collection mirror (20.2) would be comprised under the light delivery mirror (20.3). It all depends on design requirements, and on terrain topology and geometry.
The light concentrating Plano concave mirrors (21.1) can be sideways inclined, such that the light rays are moved sideways to a lateral point of horizontal light ray projection, where said light rays are then driven by sideways inclined Plano convex mirrors (21.4). Said Plano convex mirrors (21.4) are comprised with the surfaces and edges (21.4) projecting in parallel to the surfaces of the Plano concave mirrors (21.1). The protection component (21.2) is comprised between the upper edge of the Plano concave mirror (21.1) and the vertical member (21.3) which sustains said upper heliostat. Said designs can also be achieved with concave mirrors (21.1) that project directly towards convex mirrors (21.4), hence concentrating the light rays by said concave mirrors (21.0 towards convex mirrors (21.4), as long as these (21.1, 21.4) are inclined to the required sideways angle, with both mirrors (21.1,21.4) being inclined at exactly the same angle to the side.
The sideways inclined concave or Plano concave mirrors (22.2) are inclined sideways, but project exactly towards a convex or Plano convex mirror (22.1), such that the edges of both mirrors (22.1,22.2) project in parallel to each other. With said design, said light rays are shifted to a lateral position of horizontal projection, hence being projected along the required new path, but without changing the direction of horizontal projection. Said convex or Plano convex mirrors (22.1) are sustained by horizontally projecting members (22.6) which sustain the minor's (22.1) outer edge, and attach to the main sustaining member (18.8) of the side concerned. The same feature is comprised if the light rays should be shifted towards the opposite direction horizontally. So, the concave or Plano concave mirrors (22.5) are positioned inclined sideways, and projecting towards a Plano convex or convex mirror (22.3). Said convex or Plano convex mirror (22.3) comprises the outer edges being aligned with the sustaining members (18.8) of the new horizontal light ray projecting path, hence driving the light rays through the required horizontal light driving direction. The outer edge of the convex or Plano convex mirror (22.3) is sustained by a horizontally projecting member (22.4), which sustains said convex or Plano convex mirror (22.3) in the required direction, and attaches to the lateral sustaining member (18.8) of the side concerned. With said design, the light rays are hence concentrated by said sideways inclined concave or Plano concave mirrors (22.2, 22.5) to the sideways inclined frontal projecting convex or Plano convex mirrors (22.1, 22.3), which drive the light rays back towards the original direction of projection, but along a sideways shifted point of projection.
The light ray collection and concentration systems (23.1) can comprise flat mirrors (23.3, 233) which drive the concentrated light rays (214) towards a heat exchanger or steam generator (23.6). The flat mirrors (23.3, 23.5) are sustained into the required position by vertically projecting members (23.2) that are comprised attaching to the back surfaces of said flat mirrors (23.3, 23.5). Said small flat mirrors (23.3, 23.5) can only be used if the light concentrating mirrors (23 1) used by said light collection and concentration systems (23.1), are concave minors, hence minimising the diameter of the light ray beam which is driven out of said systems (23.1). A plurality of systems (23.1) can be hence comprised around the heat exchanger or steam generator (23.6), not only projecting in parallel to each other (23.1), but also perpendicularly to each other, and around said heat exchanger or steam generator (23.6) to maximise heat transfer capacity.
The concave mirrors (24.2) project and concentrate the light rays towards a convex mirror (24.5) for each concave mirror (24.2). The protection member (24.1) is comprised at the point where the vertically projecting sustaining member (24.3) projects and unites with the upper edge of said concave mirror (24.2) for the case of each mirror (24.2). The convex mirrors (24.5) are sustained by vertically projecting members (24.6) that attach said mirrors (24.5) to the side positioned sustaining horizontal members (11.2).
Sad concave mirrors (24.2) can also be Plano concave mirrors (24.2) that are inclined sideways, hence being comprised in front of Plano convex minors (24.5) that are also inclined sideways. This design hence allows said light rays to be moved to lateral positions of projection, without adding any further systems, or changing the orientation of the flat reflection mirrors (10.1, 10.2, 10.3, 10.4, 10.5) at any time.
The vertically projecting side sustaining members (211a) sustain the upper heliostat (25 2a) by the sustaining members (25.3a), while supporting the lower positioned concave or Plano concave mirror (25.5a) by the horizontally projecting member (25.4a) which sustains it (25.5a). Said horizontally projecting members (25.4a) are sustained by the vertically projecting sustaining members (25.1a). The lower positioned Plano concave mirror (25.6a), is sustained to the horizontally projecting members (25.4a), and projects directly towards said upper positioned Plano concave mirror (25.5a).
The upper heliostat (25.1b) is sustained by the sustaining horizontal member (25.6b) that is sustained by the vertically projecting sustaining members (25.1a), which hence sustain said upper heliostat (25.16). The lower heliostat (25.26) is sustained by the horizontally projecting member (25.7b), which is sustained by the vertically projecting members (25.3b) at the two sides. On each side, said vertical members (25.3b) are sustained to the horizontally projecting members (25.4b), which are comprised along each side of said components (25.1b, 25.26). The flat reflection mirrors (25.8b, 25.9b), comprising the upper (25.8b) and lower (25.9b) flat reflection minors, are sustained to the main vertically projecting sustaining member (2536), which is sustained over the ground surface, and also supports the horizontally projecting supporting members (25.4a, 25.4b) at each side, on the required positions at all times.
If said light rays (26.3) require to be reflected to be moved towards a deferent horizontally projecting direction, said light rays (26.3a) can be driven under the light ray concentrating concave or Plano concave mirror (26.2a), and then be reflected by an upward inclined flat reflection mirror (26.1a). Said mirror (26.1a) drives said light rays (26.3a) upwards towards another inclined flat reflection mirror (26.5a), which finally drives said light rays (26.3a) onto a new horizontally projecting path of projection, but along a horizontal line of projection. Said system can be used to simultaneously move the position and direction of projection to another point for said light rays (26.3a), while moving said light rays (26.3a) to an upper position of projection. Said components (26.1a, 26.5a) are sustained by the horizontally projecting sustaining members (26.4a), which are comprised along the side edges of said components (26.1a, 26.5a).
Alternatively, said light rays (26.3b) can be driven towards a flat reflection mirror (26.4b), which is comprised at 90 degrees perpendicularly to the ground level surface, hence driving the reflected light rays (26.1b) towards a simple set of flat reflection mirrors (26.2b). Said set of flat reflection mirrors (26.26) comprises two minors (26.2b) being comprised at the same inclined angles over each other, and can hence move said light rays (26.1b) as required upwards, or even downwards if required due to rough terrain topology requirements. This depends on the positions of the light collection (27.81,) and delivery (27.5b) mirrors. If said light collection mirror (27.8b) is comprised over the light delivery mirror (27.5b), said light rays (26.16, 26.3b) are moved down, but however, if said light delivery mirror (27.51,) is over the light collection mirror (27.86), said light rays (26.1b, 26.36) are moved upwards. Said components (26.26, 26.4b) are sustained by the horizontally projecting sustaining members (26.56), which are comprised along the side edges of said components (26.2b, 26.4b).
The light rays can hence be reflected by said flat inclined reflection mirror (27.2a), which will drive said light rays (27.5a) into an upward motion of projection. Said light rays (27.5a) are then reflected by a flat inclined reflection mirror (27.4a), which drives said light rays into a horizontal direction of projection again. The components of the system (27.2a, 27.4a) are sustained by the horizontally projecting side members (27.3a), which are sustained over the ground surface by the vertically projecting supporting members (27.1a). Said vertical members (27.1a) also support the flat reflection mirror (27.2a) concerned.
Said flat reflection mirror (27.2b) can also be comprised being perpendicular at 90 degrees to the ground level surface, and be sustained by the vertically projecting sustaining members (27.1b). In this case, the concentrated light rays (27.7b) are driven by said flat reflection mirror (27.2b) to a set of flat mirrors (27.56, 27.81a), which move the position of projection of said light rays (27.6b) upwards, hence driving said light rays (27.66) into an upward direction of projection. Said light collection mirror (27.8b) drives said light rays towards said light delivery minor (27.51,), which is (27.56) inclined at the same angle as the light collection mirror (27.86), preferably 45 degrees. Said light delivery mirror (27.56) then drives said light rays as required. Said set of flat mirrors (27.5b, 27.8b) is sustained by one of the vertical sustaining members (27.4b). Said vertical members (27.1b, 27.4b) sustained the horizontally projecting sustaining members (27.3b), which in turn can partly sustain the light delivery mirror (27.56).
The light sun light collection and concentration systems can comprise Plano concave mirrors (28.9) which project upwards towards Phmo convex mirrors (28.1). Said Plano convex mirrors (28.1) then drive the concentrated solar rays (28.2) horizontally towards the next light concentration area. So, a set of flat reflection mirrors (28.11) drive the light rays downwards, such that these (28.10) can then be driven under the next lower heliostat (28.3). The flat reflection member (28.8) is this time comprised between the lower surface of the Plano convex mirror (28.1) and the vertical member that supports the upper heliostat's pivot (28.14). The concentrated light rays are then concentrated again by the next Plano concave mirror (28.9), and driven horizontally by the upper Plano convex mirror (28.1).
So, said light rays are driven to a flat reflection mirror (28.4), which is sustained by a vertical member (28.5) to the horizontal sustaining members. Said light rays are then again driven by a lower positioned flat mirror (28.11) horizontally towards the next Plano concave mirror (28.9). The vertical member (28.12) that supports the rotational pivot (28.13) of said lower heliostat (28.3), is present in the previously described configuration. The light rays can hence be driven according to the terrain roughness and topology, hence upwards and downwards over the ground floor. Said light rays are finally driven by a flat reflection mirror (28.6) downwards towards a heat exchanger or steam generator. Said flat mirror (28.6) is sustained by a vertical member (28.7).
Said upper positioned Plano convex mirrors (29.1) can drive said light rays vertically downwards towards a flat reflection mirror (29.5), which then drives said light rays under the Plano concave mirror (29.2) that concentrated these. Said flat mirror (29.5) is sustained by a vertically projecting member (29.6), which attaches to said horizontally projecting supporting mirrors. Said light rays are driven to a light collection mirror (29.7), which drives the light rays vertically upwards towards a light delivery mirror (29.3), which drives said light rays (29.8) back horizontally, but at an upper point of projection, towards the next Plano concave mirror (29.2) for light concentration.
Said light collection mirror (29.7) should be inclined at the same angle as said light delivery mirror (29.3). So, the process can continue, even over rough or uneven terrain with all sorts of topologies, to finally reaching a flat reflection mirror (29.4), where said concentrated light rays are driven vertically downwards towards a heat exchanger or steam generator. Said light rays (29.8) are driven between the two vertical members (29.6) at each side, which sustain said flat reflection mirror (29.5). Said Plano concave mirror (29.2) then concentrates said light rays (29.8) towards said Plano convex mirror (29.1). Said Plano convex mirror (29.1) then finally drives said light rays vertically downwards towards said flat reflection mirror (29.5), which in turn drives said light rays again towards the next light collection mirror (29.7). The system carries on using said methods until reaching said final flat reflection mirror (29.4).
Said Plano concave mirrors (28.9) can also be replaced by concave mirrors (30.5), which drive the light rays towards a convex mirror (30.3). So, said light rays will be fully concentrated, and the diameter of said rays will be reduced as much as possible, hence increasing light concentration efficiency. The flat reflection mirrors (30.1), which drive the horizontally projecting light rays from said convex mirror (30.3) vertically downwards, are sustained as before by a vertically projecting member (30.4). Said flat protection member (30.2) attaches to the lower edge of the convex mirror (30.3), and hence sustains it (30.3) into the required rigid position at all times. Said convex mirrors (30.3) are comprised at a higher height above the ground surface level than the concave mirror (30.5) positioned under it (30.3), and projects towards said concave mirror (30.5).
Said Plano concave mirror (29.2) can also be replaced by a concave mirror (31.1), which drives said light rays towards a convex mirror (31.2). Said convex mirror (31.2) then drives said light rays vertically downwards towards a flat reflection mirror (31.4), which drives said light rays horizontally again towards the next concave mirror (31.1). Said flat reflection mirrors (31.4) are sustained into position by vertically projecting members (31.3). Said convex mirrors (31.2) are comprised at a higher height above the ground level surface than the concave mirror (31.1) positioned under it (31.2), and projects towards said concave mirror (31.1).
Said light rays can be driven towards a Plano concave mirror (32.5), which concentrates the incoming light rays (32.6) towards a circular pipe (32.3). Said circular pipe (32.3) can comprise both primary circuit (32.8) and energy storage fluid (32.7) pipes embedded inside it (32.3). So, the light rays will transfer heat to both pipes (32.7, 32.8) efficiently and simultaneously. Said pipe (32.30 is sustained over said Plano concave mirror (32.5) by the means of sustaining members (32.2), which attach to both said pipe (32.3 and said Plano concave mirror (32.5). Said concentrated light rays are driven by a flat reflection minor (32.1) vertically downwards towards said Plano concave mirror (32.5). The upper part of said fluid driving pipe (32.3) is also heated by the vertically downward projecting light rays. Said light rays are driven through a vertical conduit (32.4) down towards said mirror (32.5). The light rays (32.6) which pass at the sides of said pipe (32.3), are reflected by said Plano concave mirror (32.5). So, said light rays (32.6) arc finally driven towards the surface of said fluid driving pipe (32.3). Said pipe (32.3) can contain only the primary circuit fluid pipe (32.8), only the energy storage fluid pipe (32.7), or both pipes (32.7, 32.8) driving fluid simultaneously beside each other.
The Plano concave mirror (32.5) is comprised projecting vertically upwards, and is positioned at a level which is lower than the solar ray collection and concentration system. So, the solar rays are driven by said flat mirror (32.1) through a vertical conduit (32.4) directly towards said Plano concave mirror (32.5), hence reaching it's surface (32.5) very easily. So, said Plano concave mirror (32.5) concentrates the incoming light rays (32.6) towards the fluid driving pipe (32.3). So, said Plano concave mirror (32.5) should in this case be comprised preferably under the ground surface. However, this depends on the terrain topology.
The Plano concave mirror (33.4) can also be comprised over the ground surface, hence projecting horizontally towards the light collection and concentration system. So, the concentrated light rays (33.1) are driven horizontally towards said Plano concave mirror (33.4). Part of the light rays (33.1) are driven towards the opposite side of the fluid driving pipe (33.3), while the light rays (33.1) that are driven around said pipe (33.3), are driven straight to the surface of the Plano concave mirror (33.4). So, said Plano concave mirror (33.4) concentrates the incoming light rays (33.1) towards the fluid driving pipe (33.3). So, said light rays (33.7) are driven towards the other surface of the fluid driving pipe (33.3). The fluid driving pipe can house the primary circuit pipe (33.5), the energy storage fluid pipe (33.2), or both of said pipes (33.2, 33.5) simultaneously through said fluid driving pipe (33.3). So, said circuits (33.2, 33.5) can be supplied with heat simultaneously and efficiently by said Plano concave minor (33.4). Said pipe (33.3) is sustained along the surface of said Plano concave mirror (33.4) by members (33.6) which attach to both said pipe (33.3) and said Plano concave mirror (33.4) simultaneously.
Said Plano concave mirror (34.1) can also be comprised projecting vertically downwards towards the ground surface, and hence be comprised over the ground surface. In this case, said Plano concave mirror (34.1) is sustained by a set of vertically projecting members (34.9), which sustain said mirror (34.1) over the ground surface. In this case said concentrated light rays (34.7) are driven to a flat reflection mirror (34.8), which should be inclined at 45 degrees. So, said flat reflection mirror (34.8) drives said light rays (34.7) vertically upwards towards said Plano concave mirror (34.1). Part of the light rays (34.7) are driven towards the lower surface of the fluid driving pipe (34.2). The rest of the light rays (34.7) are driven around said fluid driving pipe (34.2) towards the surface of said Plano concave mirror (34.1).
Said Plano concave mirror (34.1) then concentrates said light rays (34.3) towards the upper and lateral surfaces of the fluid driving pipe (34.2). The fluid driving pipe (34.2) is sustained into its required position rigidly by the means of sustaining members (34.4), which attach to both the pipe (34.2) and the Plano concave mirror (34.1) simultaneously. The Plano concave mirror (34.1) is rigidly sustained into position by the vertically projecting sustaining members (34.9). The fluid driving pipe (34.2) can house the primary circuit pipe (34.5), the energy storage fluid pipe (34.6), or both pipes (34.5, 34.6) driving fluid simultaneously in parallel to each other. So, said system design allows both primary circuit (34.5) and energy storage fluid circuit (34.6), to be supplied with heat constantly, efficiently and simultaneously.
Said lower positioned vertically upwards projecting Plano concave mirror (32.5) can also be comprised as a concave mirror (35.2), which would hence transfer the light rays (32.6) towards the fluid driving pipe (35.1), hence offering higher light ray (32.6) concentrations on a lower surface on said fluid driving pipe (35.1). This would offer higher temperatures on lower surface areas present over the fluid driving pipe (35.1). A similar design can be comprised for the horizontally projecting Plano concave mirror (33.4), where a concave mirror (36.2) would concentrate said light rays (33.7) towards said fluid driving pipe (36.1) at higher light my (33.7) concentrations, and hence transferring heat at higher temperatures over a lower surface area on said fluid driving pipe (36.1). Similarly for the vertically downward projecting Plano concave mirror (34.1), a concave mirror (37.1) can project vertically downwards, hence concentrating the light rays (34.3) towards the fluid driving pipe (37.2), but offering higher light ray (34.3) concentrations. This would transfer heat at higher temperatures on lower surfaces along the fluid driving pipe (37.2) concerned.
Said Plano concave mirrors (38.2), concentrate the light rays on Plano convex mirrors (38.1), prior of said Plano convex mirrors (38.1) driving said light rays towards the next system. So, solar collection and concentration systems (38.1,38.2) can be comprised in parallel to each other, or perpendicularly, with all driving the concentrated light rays towards a central point. At said point, a set of horizontally protecting Plano concave mirrors (38.4, 38.8) can be comprised. Said mirrors (38.4, 38.8) project around all four directions, thence forming a rectangular shape of four sides, with one mirror (38.4, 38.8) projecting towards each side. Said design allows the light rays of all systems to be concentrated towards the fluid driving pipe (38.5, 38.7). Said fluid driving pipe (38.5, 38.7) drives fluid in front of all mirrors (38.4, 38.7,38.8).
So, said fluid driving pipe (38.5, 38.7) is driven in between (38.5) said mirrors (38.4, 38.8), and in front of each of said mirrors (38.7). Said pipe comprises an intake pipe (38.10) which drives the fluid towards said mirrors (38.4, 38.8), and an exit pipe (38.9) which drives the heated fluid out of the system fir power generation or energy storage applications. Said fluid driving pipe (38.5, 38.7) can comprise the primary circuit and energy storage fluid pipes projecting in parallel to each other, such that both fluids would be heated simultaneously, constantly and efficiently. If the final mirrors (38.1, 38.2) of said systems do not project directly towards said Plano concave mirrors (38.4, 38.8), flat reflection mirrors (383) can reflect the concentrated light trays (38.11), hence guiding these (38.11) towards the surfaces of said Plano concave mirrors (38.4, 38.8). The fluid driving pipe (38.5, 38.7) is sustained in front of said Plano concave mirrors (38.4, 38.8) by the means of sustaining members (38.6).
Said solar ray collection and concentration systems (39.10,39.11) can be comprised projecting in parallel to each other (39.10, 39.11), with the mirrors (39.10, 39.11) of said systems projecting to the same directions. But if said mirrors (39.10, 39.11) comprises concave (39.11) and convex (39.10) mirrors, the concentrated light rays (39.12) can be driven towards small diameter flat reflection mirrors (39.1, 39.2), which drive said light rays towards horizontally projecting Plano concave mirrors (39.3). Said flat reflection mirrors (39.1, 39.2) can be comprised to drive light rays (39.12) in parallel projecting directions, altogether towards a Plano concave mirror (393). Said fluid driving pipe (39.4, 39.7) is driven in front (39.7) of said Plano concave mirrors (39.3, 39.6), with the same pipe (39.4) being driven around all Plano concave mirrors (39.3, 39.6).
Said fluid driving pipe (39.4) can hence be driven from Plano concave mirror (39.3) to Plano concave mirror (39.6) in order to maximise the heat supply efficiency to the fluid driving pipe. The fluid driving pipe (39.4, 39.7) can house both primary circuit and energy storage fluid pipes simultaneously, hence offering an efficient fluid heating process. Said pipe (39.4, 39.7) can comprise an intake pipe (39.8), which drives said fluid in front of said mirrors (39.4, 39.7), and a fluid exit pipe (39.9), which drives the superheated fluids out of the system for power generation and/or energy storage applications. Said fluid driving pipe (39.4,39.7) can be sustained into its required position rigidly by being sustained by members (39.5) that attach to both said pipe (39.4, 39.7) and said Plano concave mirrors (39.3, 39.6).
if said mirrors (40.1,40.2) are comprised of concave (40.2) and convex (40.)) mirrors, said light rays (40.3) are concentrated to the minimum diameter, hence allowing the use of small diameter flat reflection mirrors (40.5). Said small diameter flat reflection mirrors (40.5) can reflect the concentrated light rays (40.3) towards the required direction, and hence towards a Plano concave mirror (40.4) in this case If said Plano concave mirror (40.4) projects vertically downwards, said light rays (40.3) are reflected by flat reflection mirrors (40.7) to drive the light rays vertically upwards towards the surface of said Plano concave mirror (40.4). If said Plano concave mirror (40.4) projects vertically upwards, said flat reflection mirrors (40.7) reflect the light rays (40.3) vertically downwards towards the surface of said Plano concave mirror (40.4). In any case, said flat reflection mirrors (40.7) should be inclined at 45 degrees. Said Plano concave mirror (40.4) is in any case sustained by vertically projecting members (40.6), which can attach to the back surface (40.4) or the reflective surface (40.4) of said Plano concave mirror (40.4).
The Plano concave mirror (40.4) sustains said fluid driving pipe (40.8) along its surface (40.4) rigidly by the means of sustaining members (40.9), which attach to both said vertical sustaining members (40.6) and said fluid driving pipe (40.8), hence sustaining said fluid driving pipe (40.8) rigidly in its required position. Vertically projecting pipe sections (40.10) drive the fluid up or down towards or away form said Plano concave mirror (40.4) according to the difference in height between the intake (40.11) and exit (40.12) pipes and the surface of said Plano concave mirror (40.4).
So, said fluid driving pipe (40.11) drives said fluid through a pipe (40.8) over or under the surface of said Plano concave mirror (40.4), hence maximising the heat supply efficiency from said mirror (40.4) to said pipe (40.8). Said pipe (40.8) then drives said fluid through said vertical pipe (40.10), and finally through said exit pipe (40.12). Said Plano concave mirror (40.4) drives said light rays, concentrating these towards the fluid driving pipe (40.8), which is driven along the surface of said Plano concave mirror (40.4). The design comprising the Plano concave mirror (40.4) projecting vertically downwards, projects said mirror surface (40.4) from rain water or any other falling natural inconveniences.
Said mirrors (41.1,41.2) of said solar ray collection and concentration systems, can comprise concave (41.1) and convex (41.2) mirrors, hence concentrating said light rays to the minimum diameter possible. Said design allows the use of small diameter flat reflection mirrors (41.3), which drive the light rays (41.5) projecting from said systems (41.1, 41.2) towards flat reflection mirrors (41.6). Said flat reflection mirrors (41.6) drive said light rays vertically upwards towards the surface of a concave mirror (41.7). Said concave mirror (41.7) then reflects said light rays, and concentrates these towards a heat transfer disk (41.10). Said heat transfer disk (41.10) is comprised near the focal point of said concave mirror (41.7), and comprises the fluid driving pipe (41.9) being driven through said disk (41.10), in order to transfer the heat efficiently to the fluid driven through said fluid driving pipe (41.9).
Said concave minor (41.7) can also project vertically upwards, hence comprising said flat minors (41.6) driving the light rays vertically downwards, towards the surface of said concave mirror (41.7). Said concave mirror (41.7) would in that case concentrate the incoming light rays towards the heat supply disk (41.10). However, the advantage of comprising said concave mirror (41.7) projecting vertically downwards towards the ground surface, is that no cavity has to be dug into the ground in order to incorporate said concave mirror (41.7) at a lower level. Also, said concave mirror surface (41.7) would be protected from natural inconveniences, such as rain water. In any design case, said flat reflection mirrors (41.6) have to be inclined at 45 degrees in order to drive the light rays accurately, weather it is vertically downwards, or vertically upwards. Another advantage of a vertically projecting concave mirror (41.7), is that flat reflection mirrors (41.6) can be positioned around any position under said concave mirror (41.7) surface.
The fluid driving pipe (41.4) drives the fluid through a vertical pipe section (41.8), that drives said fluid to the required height in order to be driven under the concave mirror (41.7) through the fluid driving pipe (41.9), and hence through the heat supply disk (41.10). The pipe (41.9) then drives said fluid through another vertical pipe section (41.8) to the height of the fluid exit pipe (41.12), prior of driving said fluid through said exit pipe (41.12) for power generation and/or energy storage applications. The vertical pipe sections (41.8) can drive the fluid vertically downwards if said concave mirror (41.7) projects vertically upwards, or vertically upwards if said concave mirror (41.7) projects vertically downwards. Said fluid driving pipe (41.4, 41.8, 41.9, 41.12) can also house both primary and energy storage fluid pipes into the same pipe (41.4, 41.8, 41.9, 41.12), hence driving the fluids in parallel, but through two separate fluid pipes. This design allows the two fluids to be superheated continuously, simultaneously, and efficiently, when being driven through the fluid driving pipe (41.4,41.8, 41.9,41.12), and hence through said heat supply disk (41.10).
Said concave mirror (41.7), whether projecting vertically upwards or vertically downwards, is supported over the ground level surface by a set of vertical supporting members (41.11), which sustain and keep said concave mirror (41.7) rigidly in its required position at all times. The heat supply disk (41.10) is sustained by the fluid driving pipe (41.9), hence forming the same structure. Said fluid driving pipe (41.9) can be sustained over or under said concave mirror (41.7) by the means of supporting members, which support said fluid driving pipe (41.9) in its required position rigidly at all times.
The light rays (42.2) projected by the solar light concentration and collection systems (42.1), can be driven upwards by a set of flat reflection mirrors (42.4). So, the resulting light rays (42.2) are driven towards the same direction as before, but at a higher point of projection. So, the light rays can be reflected by a flat reflection mirror (42.3) on each side, hence allowing also to comprise oppositely projecting light collection and concentration systems (42.1). So, said flat mirrors (42.3) can hence reflect the light rays towards the horizontally projecting Plano concave mirrors (42.7) that are comprised on the system concerned. Said light rays are hence driven over the flat reflection mirrors (42.5) that reflect the light rays of the laterally positioned light collection and concentration systems (42.1). So, the light rays (42.2) of all systems (42.1) are driven by said flat reflection mirrors (42.3, 42.5) towards the reflective surfaces of said horizontally projecting Plano concave mirrors (42.7). Said mirrors (42.7) hence concentrate said light rays towards the surface of the fluid driving pipe (42.6), hence transferring the heat to the primary circuit pipe, the energy storage fluid pipe, or both fluid driving pipes simultaneously, if these project in parallel to each other through said fluid driving pipe (42.6).
If said mirrors (42.1) of said systems (42.1) are concave mirrors, said light rays (43.1) are projected with the minimal diameter, hence requiring small diameter sets of flat reflection mirrors (43.2, 43.11) to move the position of projection of said light rays upwards. Said light rays (43.1) of the laterally and oppositely comprised systems, can hence be reflected by flat reflection minors (43.3), and hence be driven over the sets of flat reflection MiTIVIS (43.4) which reflect the light rays of the laterally comprised systems. So, said light rays (43.1) of all systems project in parallel towards the surface of the horizontally projecting Plano concave mirrors (43.10), which then concentrate said light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (43.9) in order to transfer the heat to it (43.9). Sets of flat reflection mirrors (43.11) can move the light rays (43.7) to an upper position of projection, such that these (43.7) are then reflected by flat reflection mirrors (43.5) until projecting straight towards a Plano concave minor (43.10).
Said light rays (43.7) can hence flow over other sets of flat reflection mirrors (43.6) that also drive the light rays of other side positioned systems, to the Plano concave mirrors (43.10), such that both light rays (43.7, 43.8) are driven in parallel and over each other towards said Plano concave mirrors (43.10), which then concentrate said light rays (43.7, 43.8) towards the fluid driving pipe. Flat reflection mirrors (43.12) that are comprised over each other, can be comprised to reflect the light rays of at least two oppositely projecting directions, into one direction, such that all light rays arc driven in parallel towards said Plano concave mirrors (43.10). Said mirrors (43.10) should be preferably comprised forming a rectangular pattern of at least three Plano concave mirrors (43.10) which project horizontally away from said pattern (43.10), with the same fluid driving pipe (43.9) being driven in front of all mirrors (43.10), in order to maximise the designs and heat transfer efficiencies of the system concerned, while minimising the numbers of components and tubing used.
The light rays of the further systems, can be moved upwards by flat refection mirror sets (44.1), in order for flat reflection mirrors (44.2) to drive these light rays (44.6) over other flat reflection mirrors (44.4) that also drive the light rays (44.3) of the systems that are closer to said Plano concave or concave mirror (44.7) than said other systems. Said flat reflection mirrors (44.2, 44.4) drive altogether the light rays (44.3, 44.6) towards said Plano concave mirror (44.7). So, said light rays (44.3,44.6) are driven in parallel to each other an over each other towards a flat reflection mirror (44.5), which is comprised in front of each set of flat reflection mirrors (44.2, 44.4). Said flat reflection mirror (44.5) is inclined at 45 degrees, hence driving said light rays vertically upwards towards the surface of said Plano concave mirror (44.7). As said minor (44.7), projects vertically downwards, said design is suitable, and also projects said reflective mirror surface (44.7) from any natural inconveniences, such as leaves or rain water. Said flat reflection mirrors (44.5) are comprised under the surface of the Plano concave mirror (44.7).
Said mirror (44.7) can also be a concave mirror, which could maximise light ray concertation on the fluid driving pipe, hence maximising temperatures for heat transfer. If said Plano concave or concave mirror (44.7) projects vertically upwards, said flat reflection mirrors (44.5) comprise the reflective surfaces projecting vertically downwards, and inclined at 45 degrees, such that the light rays (44.3, 44.6) are hence reflected vertically downwards towards the reflective surface of said Plano concave or concave mirror (44.7).
Said sets of flat reflection mirrors (45.1, 45.10) can move the position of projection of said light rays upwards, such that said light rays are reflected by flat reflection minors (45.2) and driven over the flat reflection mirrors (45.3) that reflect the light rays (45.4) from other systems. So, said light rays (45.4) are driven in parallel to each other and over each other towards flat reflection mirrors (45.8). Said flat reflection mirrors (45.8) are lengthened to be able to reflect all light rays (416,45.11) until the upper heights if a plurality of light rays is comprised (45.6,45.11), and drive these vertically upwards towards the concave mirror (45.9). Said concave mirror (45.9) is comprised over the flat reflection mirrors (45.7, 45.8, 45.14). The concave mirror (45.9) concentrates said light rays (45.4) towards the heat transfer disk (45.13), through which the fluid driving pipe (45.12) is driven in order for the light rays' (45.6, 45.11) heat to be transferred to the flowing fluids inside said fluid driving pipe (45.12). Said fluids can be the primary circuit, the energy storage fluid, or both fluids being driven separately, but in parallel through separate pipes which are embedded inside said fluid driving pipe (45.12).
The flat reflection mirrors (45.14) for the light rays which do not comprise pluralities of systems, do not need to be lengthened, Mit the flat reflection mirrors (45.7, 45.8) that reflect pluralities of light rays (45.4, 45.6,45.11) from pluralities of systems, need to be lengthened to ensure that all light rays are driven vertically upwards towards the reflective surface of said concave mirror (45.9). All flat reflection mirrors (45.7,45.8. 45.14) are inclined at 45 degrees to ensure that all light rays are reflected vertically upwards. After being reflected upwards by a set of flat reflection mirrors (45.10), said light rays (45.11) can be driven over lower positioned flat mirrors (45.5) which drive the light rays (45.6) of another system towards the same direction of projection, hence driving the light rays (45.6,45.11) of the two systems in parallel to each other and over each other, towards a flat reflection mirror (45.7). Said flat reflection mirror (45.7) then drives said light rays vertically upwards towards the concave mirror's surface (45.9), which concentrates said light rays towards the heat transfer disk (45.13) for heat transfer.
Said concave mirror (45.9) can also project vertically upwards, but with hence said flat reflection mirrors (45.7, 45.8,45.14) driving said light rays (45.4, 45.6,45.11) vertically downwards towards the reflective surface of said concave mirror (45.9). Said fluid driving pipe (45.12) would in that case be driven over the surface of said concave mirror (45.9), with said heat transfer disk (45.13) being sustained into position by said fluid driving pipe (45.12), or by additional sustaining members.
The light rays that come from the systems (46.8) that are closest to said Plano concave mirror (46.16), can be reflected by flat reflection minors (46.9), such that said light rays are driven through a set of flat reflection mirrors (46.2) in order to lift the position of projection of said light rays. So, said light rays can be reflected by a flat reflection mirror (46.4) that is higher in position, and that is comprised in front of the lateral system (46.1). Said lateral system (46.1) drives the light rays under said flat reflection mirror (46.4). Said flat reflection mirror (46.4) should be sustained over the ground surface by vertically projecting members (46.3), which should preferably be comprised at the edges, in order to avoid any obstruction to said other system's (46.1) light rays.
Said light rays (46.5) am hence driven over each other and in parallel to each other, until these are then reflected by a flat reflection mirror (46.6), which drives said light rays (46.7) straight towards a Plano concave mirror (46.11). Said Plano concave mirror (46.11) then concentrates said light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (46.10). Said resulting concentrated light rays (46.12) are hence driven towards a horizontally projecting Plano concave mirror (46.16). The light lays of the adjacent positioned systems, are concentrated and reflected with the same methods as previously explained, until said light rays (46.7) are driven towards a concave mirror (46.15), which concentrates said light rays towards a convex minor (46.13). Said convex mirror (46.13) then drives said concentrated light rays (46.14) towards said horizontally projecting Plano concave mirror surface (46.16).
Said light rays are then concentrated further by said Plano concave mirror (46.16), towards the fluid driving pipe (46.17), in order to transfer the heat of said light rays to the fluids concerned. Said fluids can be the primary circuit, the energy storage circuit, or both circuits flowing into two separate parallel projecting pipes, which are embedded into said fluid driving pipe (46.17).
If the mirrors (47.1, 47.2, 47.6) of the systems (47.2, 47.6) are concave minors (47.2, 47.6) comprised in front of convex mirrors (47.1), said light rays (47.3) comprise a much smaller diameter, such that these (47.3) can be moved to an upper position of projection by smaller diameter sets of flat reflection minors (47.4). Said light rays can be reflected by sets of perpendicularly projecting flat reflection mirrors (47.5), as the light rays of the oppositely comprised systems are moved to an upper or lower position of projection by another set of flat reflection mirrors (47.4). Said flat reflection mirrors (47.5) can hence drive said light rays over sets of flat reflection mirrors (47.9) which drive the light rays of other systems (47.6) in parallel to the other light rays towards the same direction.
So, said light rays can be driven towards a concave mirror (47.11). Said concave mirror (47.11) drives said light nays towards another convex mirror (47.10), which drives said light rays (47.12) into the previous direction if projection after said further light concentration by said concave mirror (47.11). Said light rays (47.12) are hence driven towards the horizontally projecting surface of said Plano concave mirrors (47.220, which then concentrates said light rays still lather towards said fluid driving conduit (47.21) for efficient transfer of heat from said light rays (47.12).
The flat reflection mirrors (47.25) Lan reflect the light rays of other systems, over the light rays of another system, such that another flat reflection mirror (47.13) then reflects said light rays (47.14, 47.15), hence driving the light rays of both systems (47.14, 47.15) in parallel to each other and over each other, towards a Plano concave mirror (47.17). Said Plano concave mirror (47.17) concentrates the light rays onto a Plano convex mirror (47.16), which then drives these straight towards another horizontally projecting Plano concave mirror (4720).
Another set of perpendicularly comprised flat reflection mirrors (47.24) can be comprised, which drive the reflected light rays (47.19) over each other and in parallel to each other, towards a Plano concave minor (47.18). Said Plano concave mirror (47.18) then drives the light rays onto a Plano convex mirror, which then drives said light rays towards the horizontally projecting surface of a Plano concave mirror (47.23). All horizontally projecting Plano concave minors (4720, 47.22, 47.23) concentrate the light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (47.21), which is driven in front of all Plano concave minors (47.20, 47.22, 47.23) in order to minimise the number of tubing and components used, as well as to maximise the heat transfer efficiency to the primary and/or energy storage fluid circuits.
The light rays of the systems (48.10) that are comprised closer to said Plano concave mirror (48.19), can be reflected by a flat reflection mirror (48.12), which drives said light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (48.2) in order to move the position of projection upwards. So, said light rays can be reflected by a flat reflection mirror (48.3) that is comprised at the same height as the light rays that are driven out of said flat reflection mirror set (48.2). So, said light rays can then be reflected by said other flat reflection mirror (48.3) while the light rays of the oppositely positioned system (48.10, are driven under said mirror (48.3). So, the light rays of both laterally comprised systems (48.1,48.10) are driven over each other and in parallel to each other until these reach a flat reflection minor (48.4). Said flat reflection mirror (48.4) reflects said light rays towards a concave mirror (48.14), which concentrates said light rays towards a convex mirror (48.13).
Said flat reflection mirror (48.4) is sustained by a central vertically projecting member (48.5), which also sustains a perpendicularly projecting flat reflection mirror (48.6). Said flat reflection mirror (48.6) is sustained by the same member (48.5), but is comprised at a higher height in order to reflect the light rays of the other systems (48.9, 48.16) simultaneously towards said concave mirror (48.14). Said concave mirror (48.14) concentrates the light rays further towards the convex mirror (48.13). The concentrated light rays (48.15) are driven from the convex mirror (48.13), straight towards the flat reflection mirror (48.11), which drives the light rays vertically upwards towards the reflective surface of the vertically projecting Plano concave mirror (48.19). Said flat reflection minor (48.11) is inclined at 45 degrees, in order to drive said light rays vertically upwards towards said Plano concave mirror's (48.19) reflective surface.
For concentrated light rays, other flat reflection mirrors (48.18) with larger diameters, can be comprised, but always comprised under said Plano concave mirror (48.19) and inclined at 45 degrees to accurately reflect the light rays. Said flat reflection mirror (48.11) does not need to comprise a wide diameter, as the light rays (48.15) that it reflects are very concentrated, but needs to be comprised under said Plano concave mirror (48.19) for efficient light reflection, to drive said light rays (48.15) towards said Plano concave mirror (48.19). In order for said flat reflection mirror (48.6) to reflect the light rays that are projecting from other systems (48.9, 48.16), the closest system (48.16) to said Plano concave mirror (48.19) comprises a flat reflection mirror (48.17), which drives said light rays towards a set of flat reflection mirror (48.15) to lift the position of projection of said light rays upwards. Simultaneously, the laterally comprised system (48.9) drives the light rays towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (48.8) to lift the position of projection of the light rays to a different upper position to that reached by other sets of flat reflection mirrors (48.2, 48.15).
So, a flat reflection mirror (48.7) reflects the light rays of the closest system (48.16) to said Plano concave mirror (48.19), while the light rays of the laterally comprised system (48.9), are driven over or under said flat reflection minor (48.7) after being driven through said set of flat reflection minors (48.8). Finally, said flat reflection mirror (48.6) can hence drive said light rays in parallel and over the other systems' (48.1,48.10) light rays, towards the concentrating concave mirror (48.14). Said concave mirror (48.14) concentrates said light rays on a convex mirror (48.13), which then drives said light rays (48.15) towards said flat reflection mirror (48.11). The flat reflection mirrors (48.11,48.18) can be inclined at 45 degrees, but with the reflective surface on the opposite surface, if said Plano concave mirror (48.19) projects at the opposite way round, which is virtually upwards. So, said light rays would reach the reflective surface of said Plano concave mirror (48.19). However, said design is more prone to damage from environmental issues such as leaves or rain water.
The sets of flat reflection mirrors (48.2, 48.15) that move the positions of projection of the light rays of the systems (48.10, 48.16) that are closer to said Plano concave mirror (48.19), are comprised perpendicularly to the directions of projection of the light rays from said systems (48.10,48.16), hence minimising the space requited for the system, and maximising the functionality of the system. Said sets of flat reflection mirrors (48.2, 48.8, 48.15), weather being comprised in parallel (48.8) or perpendicularly (48.2,48.15) to the directions of projection of the light rays being projected from said systems (48.1, 48.9,48.10. 48.16), are sustained by a vertically positioned member at each side of the mirrors (48 2, 48 8, 48.15), in order to avoid any obstructions to the concentrated light rays that should be reflected and moved upwards or downwards by said mirrors (48.2,48.8, 48.15).
The light rays of one system (49.9) can be driven in parallel to the light rays of another laterally positioned system, which were reflected by a flat reflection mirror (49.8), which were previously moved to an upper position of projection by a set of flat reflection mirrors (49.7). Simultaneously, the light rays of the oppositely projecting system (49.1) are driven to another set of flat reflection mirrors (49.2) in order to move the position of projection upwards, but to a different height as said other set of flat reflection minors (49.7). So, said light rays (49.3) are being driven in parallel to the light rays (49.4) of the laterally comprised system, which are reflected by a lower positioned flat reflection mirror (49.8). So, the light rays of all four systems (49.1,49.9) can be reflected at the same time by a set of flat reflection minors (49.5), which has perpendicularly projecting surfaces (49.5), which head to the light rays driven by said systems (49.9) or sets of flat reflection mirrors (49.2,49.9).
So, said set of perpendicularly projecting flat reflection mirrors (49.5), drives said light rays (49.3, 49.4) on parallel to each other an over each other, towards a concave mirror (49,11). Said concave mirror (49.11) drives and concentrates said light rays towards a convex mirror (49.6). Said convex minor (49.6) then drives said light rays (49.18) towards a flat reflection mirror (49.20). Said flat reflection mirror (49.20) is lengthened to reflect the light rays at various heights, and is inclined at 45 degrees to drive said light rays towards the reflective surface of the concave mirror (49.24). Said concave mirror (49.24) projects vertically downwards, and is comprised over said flat reflection mirror (49.20).
Other light collection and concentration systems (49.13) drive the light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (49.14), which move the position of projection of said light rays upwards. So, said flat reflection mirrors (49.14) drive said light rays (49.10) over the flat reflection mirror (49.15) that reflects light rays of another system, such that both systems' (49.13) light rays are driven in parallel and over each other towards a concave mirror (49.17). Said concave mirror (49.17) then drives and concentrates said light rays towards a convex mirror (49.16), which then in turn drives said concentrated light rays (49.21) towards a flat reflection mirror (49.19). Said flat reflection mirror (49.19) is inclined at 45 degrees and is comprised under said concave mirror's (49.24) reflective surface. So, said minor (49.19) drives said light rays towards the reflective surface of said concave minor (49.24). All light rays (49.18,49.21) that are driven by said flat reflection mirrors (49.19,49.20), are driven to said concave mirror (49.24), which then drive and concentrate said light rays towards the heat transfer disk (49.23).
Said heat transfer disk comprises the fluid driving pipe (49.22) being driven through it (49.23) in order for the heat transfer to take place to the fluids continuously and at maximum efficiency. The fluid driving pipe (49.12) is supplied from outside the system, and then projects as a passing pipe (49.22) under the concave mirror (49.24), hence collecting the heat from the disk (49.23). The concave mirror (49.24) can also project vertically upwards, hence requiring said flat mirrors (49.19, 49.20) to project vertically downwards, to drive said light rays to the reflective surface of said concave mirror (49.24). This system is best suited and conceived for the transfer of heat at high temperatures, and at high temperature points, which in this case, is the heat transfer disk (49.23) comprised. The fluid driving pipe (49.12,49.22) can house the primary circuit pipe, the energy storage fluid pipe, or both fluid pipes flowing separately in parallel to each other through said fluid driving pipe (49.12, 49.22).
The advantage of comprising concave mirrors (47.11,49.17) and convex mirrors (47.10,49.16) after initially concentrating said light rays (47.3, 47.14, 47.1, 47.19) through the concave (47.2, 47.6) and convex (47.1) mirrors of the solar light ray collection and concentration systems, is that the diameter of said concentrated light rays (47.12, 49.21), can be reduced to the minimum, hence also not requiring the required space between the concave (47.2,47.6) and convex (47.1) mirrors at each system in order to concentrate said light rays (47.12, 49.21). This would hence allow for high temperatures reached for heat transfers, as well as a reduced space required between the concave (47.2, 47.6) and convex (47.6) mirrors at each system, hence maximising the amount of heliostats that could be comprised per unit of distance along the light collection and concentration systems concerned, and hence maximising the light ray concentration output and energy production outputs by consequence.
The lower (50.9,50.10) and upper (50.1,50.2) flat reflection minors of said sets of flat reflection mirrors, should preferably be the light collection (50.9,50.10) and delivery (50.1, 50.2) mirrors. Said mirrors are used to move the light rays to an upper position of projection to avoid any obstacles from obstructing the path of said light rays. So, flat reflection mirrors (50.3, 50.4) comprised at different heights, can reflect the light rays of perpendicularly projecting light collection and concentration systems. So, said light rays are driven in parallel to the lower light rays (50.11), and hence over said lower projecting light rays (50.11), to a concave or Plano concave mirror (50.5). Said mirror (50.5) concentrates said light rays towards a Plano convex or convex mirror (50.12), which drives said light rays again in a horizontal direction of projection.
Said light rays (50.7) tut then driven by a set of flat reflection minors (50.13) to an upper position of projection, such that said concentrated light rays (50.7) can be finally reflected by another flat reflection mirror (50.8) into the required direction of projection. Said system is comprised on the design comprised on Figures 38 to 49. Said flat reflection mirror (50.8) is sustained by a vertical member (50.6) which is sustained to the horizontally projecting member (50.14), hence keeping said components rigidly sustained. Said components are comprised over the ground level surface (50.15) at all times. Said system is used to concentrate to a maximum the light rays (50.11, 50.7) that are driven from a plurality of light collection and concentration systems.
Said mirrors can also be Plano concave (51.1) and Plano convex (51.2), hence reflecting the concave (50.50 and convex (50.12) mirrors if only a vertical light ray concentration and reduction of height, is required. This all depends on design requirements for the system concerned. So, said Plano concave minor (51.1) can be inserted in place of said concave mirror (50.5), while said Plano convex mirror (51.2) can be inserted in place of said convex mirror (50.12).
Said flat reflection mirrors (52.4, 52.5), comprised at different heights, in order to reflect the light rays of a plurality of light collection and concertation systems, towards the horizontally projecting Plano concave mirror (52.2) surface. So, said mirrors (52.4, 52.50 drive said light rays (52.3) in parallel to the lower positioned light rays (52.9), which also project in the same direction, towards the Plano concave mirror surface (52.2). So, said light rays (52.3, 52.9) project in parallel to each other, with the upper light ray beams (52.3) projecting over the lower light rays beams (52.9). The lower light collection mirror (52.10), drives the light rays upwards to the light delivery mirrors. So, said lower projecting light rays (52.9) do not face any obstruction in the light rays' (52.9) path.
Said Plano concave mirror (52.2) concentrates said light rays onto the fluid driving pipe (52.6, 52.8), which projects along a plurality of Plano concave mirrors (52.1, 52.2), such that said fluid driving pipe (52.6, 52.8) is driven along the Plano concave mirror in question (52.2), and then is driven in front of other laterally comprised Plano concave mirrors (52.1) that can project either in parallel or perpendicularly to said Plano concave mirror (52.2) in question. Said fluid driving pipe (52.6, 52.8) can be comprised in two pipes (52.6, 52.8), but should preferably comprise a single pipe, which is driven in front of all Plano concave minors (52.1, 52.2). Said fluid driving pipe (52.6, 52.8) should comprise the primary circuit pipe, the energy storage fluid pipe, or both pipes projecting in parallel to each other, embedded into said fluid driving pipe (52.6, 52.8), to maximise heat transfer and efficiency to both fluid pipes simultaneously.
Said Plano concave Minton (52.1, 52.2) are suitable over the ground level surface (52.11) by the means of vertical sustained members (52.7) that are fixed and attached to the ground level surface (52.11). Said system design is also comprised on the design comprised on Figures 38 to 49.
On rough terrain (53.4), the horizontal members (53.7) are supported by the vertically projecting members (53.2). Said flat reflection mirrors (53.1, 53.5) are sustained by said vertically projecting member (53.2). The light collection minor (53.5) can be inclined sideways to move the position of projection of said light rays towards the side. The light delivery minor (53.1) is comprised at exactly the same sideway angle as the lower comprised light collection mirror (53.5). This ensures that said light rays project into exactly the same horizontal direction after being moved to a side positioned position of projection. Said light reflection mirrors (53.3, 53.6) are attached to said sideways inclined mirrors (53.1, 53.5), such that said upper collection mirror (53.3) drives said light rays vertically downwards to the light delivery mirror (53.6). Said light delivery mirror (53.6) delivers the light rays onto the original horizontally projecting path, but at the required height level and at the required sideways position, such that said light rays can be driven towards the next light concentration system concerned. Said system can hence be comprised on rough terrain (53.4), such that said flat reflection mirrors (53.1, 533,53.5, 53.6) are used to move the position of projection of said light rays slightly upwards or downwards, depending on the requirements set by the design, as well as the geology and topology of the rough terrain concerned, on which said system should be built on.
The flat delivery mirror (53.6) is in this case sustained to the back surface of the light collection mirror (53.5), as said light rays are moved to a slightly lower position of projection.
On the rough terrain (54.6), said vertical members (54.2,54.10) sustain said horizontally projecting members (54.9,54.13). Due to the rough and height changing topology of the rough terrain (54.6), said light rays have to be moved to upper or lower heights, in order to follow the required height over the terrain (54.6) concerned. Said sideways inclined flat reflection minors (54.1,54.7) can hence move the position of projection of said light rays sideways, such that said upper mirror (54.1) drives said light rays horizontally to the upper reflection mirror (543), which in turn drives said light rays to the light delivery mirror (54.8). As said light rays are driven to a slightly lower position of projection compared to before, said flat mirror (54.8) is lower comprised than the light collection mirror (54.7), hence being attached to the back surface of it (54.7).
If said light ray should be moved to a slightly upper position of projection, said light collection minor (54.11), being inclined sideways, moves the light rays to the required sideways position, before said light rays are again reflected horizontally by the upward positioned sideways inclined mirror (54.4). Said mirror (54.4) drives said light rays to the upper flat reflection mirror (54.50, which drives said light rays vertically downwards to the light delivery mirror (54.12). Said light delivery minor (54.12) is comprised at a higher position than said light collection mirror (54.11), such that said light collection mirror (54.11) attaches to the back surface of said light delivery mirror (54.12). Said mirror (54.12) drives said light rays to a slightly upper position of projection, while said position is comprised to the side of the original position of projection.
The Plano concave mirrors (55.1a) are sustained by the horizontally projecting members (55.2a), as are other components such as the flat reflection mirrors (55.3a, 55.5a, 55.6a, 55.7a). If said flat collection mirror (55.3a) is inclined sideways, the light rays will then be driven horizontally again by the light delivery mirror (55.7a) into the right path, from said light delivery mirror (55.7a) which is comprised over the light collection minor (55.3a). The edge (55.5a) of the sideways comprised light delivery mirror (55.7a) is comprised just beside the edge (55.5a) of the flat light reflection mirror (55.4a) that is comprised beside said sideways inclined light delivery mirror (55.7a), hence meaning that the two edges (55.5a, 55.6a) project in parallel to each other. So, the light rays (55.8a) are then driven horizontally from the light ray delivery mirror into the required horizontal direction of projection, and at the required side point of projection, which is comprised at the required height.
The upper edge (55.1b) of the lateral projection lower flat reflection mirror (55.26) is comprised attached at the back surface of the lower sideways inclined light collection mirror (55.46). So, the edge (55.3b) of the upper flat reflection minor (55.2b) attaches to the upper sideways inclined light delivery mirror. This allows the light rays (55.8a) to be moved to a slightly lower position of projection, while being moved to a sideways point of projection.
The upper edge (55.4e) of the lower sideways inclined flat light collection minor (55.3c) can be comprised over that (55.2c) of the lower flat light delivery mirror (55.1c), such that said lower flat light delivery mirror (55. lc) can also be comprised over the side surface of the sideways inclined light collection minor (55.3c), such that the upper edge (55.2c) of said sideways flat mirror (55.3c) attaches to the back surface of said lower flat light delivery mirror (55.1c). This design hence moves the position of projection of said light rays (55.8a) to a slightly lower point of projection, with said point of projection being at the required sideway position.
Said Plano concave minors (56.1a) are sustained by the horizontal side members (56.40, 56.8a), which also sustain the flat reflection mirrors (56.9a) that drive the light rays to the side comprised flat mirror (56.3a). Said flat mirror (56.3a) drives the light rays to the lateral light collection mirror (56.6a), which drives said light rays (56.7a) to the light delivery mirror (56.11a). As said light delivery mirror (56.1Ia) is comprised at a side position compared to the light collection mirror (56.9a), said light rays (56.7a) are driven towards a sideways position of projection, but along the same direction of projection as before. Said flat light delivery mirror (56.11a) is sustained by the horizontally projecting sustaining member (56.10a). Said horizontal sustaining members (56.40, 56.80, 56.10a) attach to the horizontally projecting perpendicularly projecting member (56.5a), which sustains said laterally comprised flat reflection mirrors (56.3a, 56.6a), and which is sustained by a vertically projecting member (56.2a) at the end of said horizontal member (56.5a). In this design case, the light collection (56.9a) and delivery (56.11a) mirror attaches to the same point at the end of the lateral horizontally projecting member (56.4a).
If said light delivery mirror (56.6b) ids comprised with its furthest edge being sustained at the start of said lateral horizontally sustaining member (56.54 the movement of the position of projection of said light rays (56.7a) remains identical, with said horizontal member (56.3b) attaching to the perpendicular horizontal member (56.26), which is sustained by said vertical member (56.1b). Said light reflection mirror (56.4b) is comprised opposite to said light delivery mirror (56.6b), and is sustained by the two concentrating horizontal members (56.2b, 56.56).
If the light rays' (56.7a) position of projection should be moved to the opposite side, said light delivery mirror (56.7c) is comprised opposite to the light reflection mirror (56.5c), and both mirrors are sustained by said horizontal member (56.6c). The horizontal projecting member of the identical projection (56.3c) attaches to the perpendicular member (56.2c), which sustains said flat reflection mirror (56.4c) of the other side. Said vertical member (56.1c) sustains said perpendicularly horizontal member (56.2c). In this design case, the lateral horizontal member of the new projecting direction (56.6c) is comprised further towards the side than the prior projection's sustaining horizontal member (56.3c).
If the mirrors (57.2a, 57.3a) comprised at the end of said light collection and concentration system are concave (57.3a) and convex (57.2a), said light rays are driven by said concave mirror (57.3a) towards said convex mirror (57.2a). So, said convex mirror (57.2a) drives the light rays (57.8a) under said concave mirror (57.3a) towards a flat reflection mirror (57.4a). Said flat mirror (57.4a) needs to be of reduced diameter, as the light rays have been concentrated from all angles by said concave mirror (57.3a). Said flat mirror (57.4a) drives said light rays to a pair of flat reflection mirrors (57.9a, 57.10a) that are comprised being positioned beside each other.
Said laterally comprised flat min (57.10a) drives the light rays to the final flat reflection mirror (57.5a), which drives said light rays (57.7a) towards the required direction of projection, but comprised at a side point compared to before. The concave (57.3a) and convex (57.2a) mirrors are sustained by the initial projection's horizontal members (57.1a), while the flat reflection mirrors (57.4a, 57.5a, 57.9a, 57.10a) are sustained by the next projection's horizontal members (57.6a).
If said light rays (57.1b) are driven to a flat reflection mirror (57.56), the light rays are driven towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (57.2b, 57.3b). Said adjacent flat reflection mirror (57.3b) then drives said light rays to the last flat reflection mirror (57.6a), which drives said light rays towards the new required direction of projection. The advantage with this design, is that the light rays are initially driven by said flat reflection mirror (57.5b) towards the direction opposite to the light shifting direction, and hence towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (57.2b, 57.3b) that are comprised between the new and older reflection's horizontal members (57.46, 57.7b). Said lateral horizontally projecting members (57.4b, 57.7b) sustains the flat mirrors (57.2b, 57.3b, 57.5b, 57.6b) into the required positions rigidly. The advantage of this design is that the flat mirrors (57.26, 57.36) do not obstruct the path of the laterally comprised terrain features.
If said light rays (57.4c) are driven towards said flat reflection minor (57.1c, 57.2c) by said flat reflection mirror (57.5c) towards the opposite direction, but towards the light rays shifting direction, the final flat light delivery mirror (57.6c) drives said light rays towards the required direction of projection. In this design case the flat reflection mirrors (57.1c, 57.2c, 57.5c, 57.6c) are comprised between the two new projection horizontal members (57.7c), as is the case in the initial design (57.4a, 57.5a, 57.9a, 57.10a). Said light rays are hence reflected by flat minors (57.1c, 57.2c) that are comprised in said enclosure of members (57.7c). The horizontally projecting members (57.3c) sustain the concave (57.3a) and convex (57.2a) minors comprised beside thew (57.3c). Said members (573c, 57.7c) are comprised apart, according to the distance of shifting of said light rays (57.4c).
Said mirrors (57.4a, 57.5a, 57.9a, 57.10a, 57.2b, 57.3b, 57.5b, 57.6b, 57.1c, 57.2, 57.5c, 57.6c) project perpendicularly to the ground surface, with said surfaces (57.4a, 57.5a, 57.9a, 57.10a, 57.2b, 57.3b, 57.513, 57.66, 57.1c, 57.2, 57.5c, 57.6c) projecting perpendicularly at 90 degrees to said ground surface.
Said concave mirror (58.3) and said convex mirror (58.10, are sustained by said horizontal sustaining member (58.2). Said mirrors (58.3, 58.1) drive said light rays under said concave mirror (58.3) towards the flat reflection mirror (58.4). Said flat reflection mirror (58.4) drives said light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (58.15, 58.16), which drive said light rays towards a side inclined flat reflection mirror (58.5). Said side inclined flat reflection mirror (58.5) drives said light rays in parallel to the sustaining member (58.6) comprised after said mirrors (58.4, 58.5, 58.15, 58.16). So, if the direction of projection of said light rays needs to be changed, said light rays can be driven to a side inclined flat reflection mirror (58.17), which drives said light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (58.7,58.8).
Said lateral mirror (58.8) drives said light rays to a side inclined flat reflection mirror (58.18), which again drives said light rays (58.20) in parallel to the new direction of said sustaining members (58.9). Said reflection mirrors (58.17, 58.8) are sustained by sustaining members (58.19) that attach to the horizontal supporting members (58.9). Another flat reflection mirror (58.10) can then drive said light rays (58.20) to a set of flat reflection minors (58.21,58.22). Said last flat reflection mirror (58.22) drives said light rays to a flat reflection mirror (58.11), which drives the light rays onto the new required direction of projection, and hence in parallel to the sustaining horizontal members (58.12). So, said light rays are driven into the new direction of projection, in parallel to the direction of projection of said horizontally sustaining members (58.12). Said flat mirrors (58.10, 58.11) are sustained by horizontally projecting members (58.13), which are attached to the horizontally projecting sustaining members (58.12).
Said concave mirror (58.3) concentrates said light rays towards said convex mirror (58.1), such that said convex mirror (58.1) drives concentrated light rays which comprise the minimum diameter, hence allowing said flat reflection mirrors (58.4, 58.5, 58.151 58.16) to be comprised with the minimum diameter. This makes said design more practical and efficient to use forte changes in direction required for the light rays (58.14). This system is very efficient to use to change the direction of the driven light rays (58.20), or to move the position of projection of said light rays (58.20) sideways.
If said last concentrating mirror (59.26) is a Plano concave mirror (59.26), said light rays (59.1) comprise a wide diameter, such that said flat reflection mirrors (59.2, 59.17, 59.18, 59.5, 59.19, 59.8, 59.11, 59.20, 59.13, 59.22, 59.23, 59.15) need to comprise a wide diameter in order to efficiently reflect and drive said light rays (59.1). Said light rays (59.1) are initially driven under said Plano concave mirror (59.26) to a flat reflection mirror (59.2), which drives said light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (59.17, 59.18). Said light delivery mirror (59.18) drives said light rays back to a flat reflection mirror (59.5). Said flat mirror (59.5) drives said light rays in a direction of projection which is parallel to the direction of the horizontal sustaining members (59.4). Said light rays can then be driven into another direction by using a flat mirror (59.19), which again, drives the light rays towards the outside of the system' line, where a set of flat mirrors (59.8,59.11) is comprised. Said light delivery minor (59.11) drives said light rays to a flat reflection mirror (59.20), which reflects and drives said light rays (59.21) onto the required new direction of projection, hence driving said light rays (59.21) in parallel to the direction of projection of the new horizontal sustaining member (59.12).
Said initial flat reflection mirror (59.2) drives the light rays perpendicularly to the initial direction of projection (59.1), which is in parallel to the initial sustaining member's (59.3) direction of projection. Said initial flat reflection mirror (59.80 is sustained at the outer edge by a vertical member (59.6), which is sustained over the ground surface, and attaches to a horizontal member (59.7), which attaches to the main horizontal sustaining member (59.4) of said side. In order to drive said light rays (59.21) back into the previous direction of projection, a flat mirror (59.13) reflects said light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (59.22, 59.23), such that the light delivery mirror (59.23) drives said light rays to the last reflection mirror (59.15).
Said flat reflection mirror (59.15) reflects and drives said light rays (59.16) into the original direction of projection, hence driving these (59.16) in parallel to the direction of projection of the new horizontal sustained members (59.14). Said light delivery mirror (59.23) is sustained at the outer edge by a vertically projecting member (59.25), which sustains a horizontal member (59.24) which hence also attaches to the horizontal sustaining member of said side (59.14). Said external set of reflection mirrors (59.8,59.11) both attach to the same vertical member (59.9), which sustain a horizontally projecting member (59.10) which in turn attaches to the main horizontal sustaining members (59.4,59.123) of the two sides. Said light delivery mirror (59.23) drives said light rays perpendicularly to the required direction of projection, until the last flat reflection mirror (59.15) drives said light rays (59.16) into the original direction of projection. Said flat reflection mirrors (59.2, 59.15) are sustained rigidly into position by the horizontal sustaining members (59.3, 59.14), which project in parallel to the light rays concerned (59.1, 59.16).
The advantage of this system, is that it can be used to drive wide diameter light rays (59.1, 59.21, 59.16) into any direction, weather it is on one side or the other, without taking much space at the side of said light collection and concentration system. This system can be used to drive said light rays (59.1, 59.21, 59.16) between geological obstacles if said terrain used is rough and uneven. Said set of flat mirrors (59.8, 59.11, 59.19, 59.20) change the direction of driving and projection of the entire light rays (59.1, 59.21,59.16) projection, towards a direction, which is towards the opposite side compared to the original direction of projection of said light rays (59.1).
Said flat reflection mirrors (59.2, 59.17, 59.18, 59.5, 59.19, 59.8, 59.11, 59.20, 59.13, 59.22, 59.23, 59.15) are all sustained by the horizontal sustaining members (59.3, 59.4, 59.7, 59.10, 59.12, 59.14, 59.24), which are all sustained above the ground surface by said vertically projecting members (59.6, 59.9, 5925). Said flat reflection mirrors (59.2, 59.17, 59.18, 59.5, 59.19, 59.8, 59.11, 59.20, 59.13, 59.22, 59.23, 59.15) project perpendicularly to the ground surface, with the surfaces of said mirrors (59.2, 59.17, 59.18, 59.5, 59.19, 59.8, 59.11, 59.20, 59.13, 59.22, 59.23, 59.15) being comprised perpendicularly to the ground surface of the terrain on which said system is being comprised. This system design allows the light rays (59.16) to be also driven to the same position of projection as the original one (59.1), but along a sideways position compared to the previous position of projection of said light rays (59.1), where these (59.1) were comprised originally.
The concentrated light rays (60.3) of the light ray collection and concentration systems concerned, can be projected towards a Plano concave mirror (60.2) after being concentrated, in order for said mirror (60.2) to concentrate the light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (60.9). In this design case, the Plano concave mirrors (60.2) project upwards, such that the fluid driving pipe (60.9) is driven along the upper surface of said mirror (60.2). A plurality of mirrors (60.2) projecting in a plurality of directions (60.2) can be comprised to concentrate the light rays (60.3) coming from a plurality of light ray concentration systems simultaneously. A roof structure (60.2) can be comprised over said Plano concave minors (60.2) in order to avoid any deposition of rain water on these (60.2). The fluid driving pipe (60.9) comprises the primary circuit pipe (60.4) and the energy storage fluid pipe (60.5) embedded inside said pipe (60.9), such that the heat from the light rays can be transferred from said mirrors (60.2) to said two circuit fluids (60.4, 60.5) efficiently and simultaneously. The primary circuit pipe (60.4) can hence drive a steam turbine (60.7) that in turn drives a generator (60.8) to generate electricity, as well as supplying heat to the energy storage fluid tank (60.6) simultaneously.
The concentrated light rays (61.2) can also be driven towards a set of Plano concave mirrors (61.3) which project into a plurality of directions to collect the light rays of various light concentration systems simultaneously around the set of Plano concave mirrors (61.3). The Plano concave mirrors (61.3) in this design case are comprised projecting horizontally sideways, and the fluid driving pipe (61.9) is driven along the centre area of all Plano concave mirrors (61.3) simultaneously. The roof structure (61.1) Ova said mirrors (61.3) in order to avoid any contamination over the mirrors (61.3). The fluid driving pipe (61.9) collects the heat of the light rays (61.2) that are concentrated by said Plano concave mirrors (61.3) on the fluid driving pipe (61.9). The primary (61.4) and the energy storage fluid (61.5) circuits, can hence collect the heat of the light rays (61.2) simultaneously and use said heat to supply heat to the energy storage tank (61.6) and separately driving a steam turbine (61.7) simultaneously. Said steam turbine (61.7) drives in turn a generator (61.8) to generate electricity.
The light rays (62.2) can also be driven to a set of Plano concave mirrors (62.3) from various directions after collecting and concentrating the light rays (62.2). The Plano concave mirrors (62.3) project downwards, such that the light rays are driven towards the lower surfaces of said minors (62.3), such that the fluid driving pipe (62.9) is comprised along the lower surfaces of said Plano concave mirrors (62.3). So, said mirrors (62.3) drive and concentrate the light rays to said fluid driving pipe (62.9), which transfers heat to both primary (62.5) and energy storage fluid (62.4) circuit pipes simultaneously. The energy storage fluid pipe (62.4) can supply storage heat to the energy storage tank (62.6), while the primary circuit pipe (62.5) can drive a steam turbine (62.7), which in turn drives a generator (62.8) to generate electricity. A roof structure (62.1) over said mirrors (62.3) avoids any deposition of unwanted matter on said mirrors (62.3) from the rain fallouts.
The light rays (63.2) can also be used to drive a set of reciprocating piston expanders (63.7). So, the Plano concave mirrors (63.3) concentrate the light rays (63.2) on the fluid driving pipe (63.9), which hence transfers heat to both the primary circuit (63.4) and energy storage fluid circuit (63.5) pipes simultaneously. The primary circuit (63A) fluid can hence drive a set of reciprocating piston expanders (63.7), which in turn drives a generator (63.8) to generate electricity. The energy storage fluid pipe (63.5) supplies heat simultaneously to the energy storage tank (63.6). The roof structure (63.1) ensures that said mirrors (633) are kept clean.
The advantage of these systems, is that embedding both primary (63.4) and energy storage fluid (63.5) pipes (63.4, 63.5) into the same fluid driving pipe (63.9) can accomplish both energy storage and electricity generation functions simultaneously. During dark hours, the energy storage fluid from the tank (63.6), can be used to convert water into steam to drive a steam turbine (62.7) or the reciprocating piston expanders (63.7).
The light rays (64.2) can also be driven towards a set of Plano concave mirrors (64.3) with a roof (64.1) on top of said minors (64.3) to protect these (64.3) against any undesired dirt. So, the light rays are driven towards the fluid driving pipe (64.6), which embeds both primary circuit pipe (64.5) and energy storage fluid pipe (64.4). So, the heat of the light rays can be used to simultaneously drive a set of reciprocating expanding pistons (64.8) from the primary circuit pipe (64.5) and to supply of heat to the energy stage tank (64.7) by the energy storage fluid pipe (64.4). The set of reciprocating pistons (64.8) in turn drives a generator (64.9) to generate electricity.
The light rays (65.2) can also be projected from a solar ray collection and concentration system, towards a set of downward projecting Plano concave mirrors (65.4), such that said mirrors (65.4) concentrate the light rays (65.2) towards the fluid driving pipe (65.3). Said pipe (65.3) is comprised close to the ground floor surface, as the mirrors (65.4) project downwards. The floor structure (65.1) protects the Plano concave minors (65.4) from any undesired deposition of dirt from above. So, the fluid driving pipe (65.3) embeds the primary circuit pipe (65.5) and the energy storage fluid pipe (65.6), such that the heat of the light rays (65.2) can be simultaneously transmitted to both pipes (65.5, 65.6). This design allows the simultaneous supply of heat to the energy storage tank (65.7) and the driving of the set of reciprocating piston expanders (65.8). The set of reciprocating piston expanders (65.8) drives in turn a generator set (65.9) for electricity production.
The advantage of said design is that a plurality of solar ray collection and concentration systems can project to the various Plano concave mirrors (65.4) comprised on the set concerned simultaneously, hence concentrating all the heat of said systems to the fluid driving pipe (65.3). As said pipe (65.3) comprises both primary (65.5) and energy storage fluid (65.6) circuits simultaneously, the supply of heat to the storage tank (65.7) and the driving of the generator (65.9) can be performed simultaneously, with no matter Wit is a set of reciprocating pistons (65.8) or a steam turbine (62.7). The fluid from the tank (65.7) can then heat up the primary circuit fluid during dark hours by the means of a heat exchanger or a steam generator. The set of reciprocating piston expanders (65.8) is more suitable than a steam turbine (62.7) if the system is situated in an area of low solar radiation or mostly cloudy weather, and so where the generative power outputs are low, hence making the reciprocating piston set (65.8) more efficient than the steam turbine (62.7).
The light rays can be driven by the concave mirrors (66.2) to the convex mirrors (66.5) comprised inside a tubular structure (66.4). So, said tubular structure comprises a transparent shield (66.16) which allows the light rays to pass through when driven by the concave mirror (66.2), hence reaching the convex mirror (66.50. The light rays are then further concentrated by a Plano concave minor (66.9) comprised inside the tubular structure (66.4), which drives the light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (66.8) that then drives the light rays back onto the required horizontal direction of projection. Flat reflection mirrors (66.6,66.7) drive said light rays (66.3) onto the required directions of projection. The Plano concave mirrors (66.9) of the next systems, concentrate the light rays of the next convex mirror (66.5), as well as the already concentrated light rays, towards the Plano concave mirror (66.8). The Plano convex mirror (66.8) drives the light rays again into the horizontal direction of projection. Said systems are all housed inside the tubular structure (66.4), which is totally closed and sealed everywhere. This avoids any cleaning required to the mirrors (66.5, 66.6, 66.7, 66.8, 66.9, 66.11, 66.12) inside the tubular structure (66.4) because these (66.5, 66.6, 66.7, 66.8, 66.9, 66.11, 66.12) are in a closed environment This hence means that no unwanted biological matter from the environment environmental species or deposits from dropping rain water, can be accumulated over the surfaces of the mirrors (66.5, 66.6, 66.7, 66.8, 66.9, 66.11, 66.12). Furthermore, the concentration of the light rays is only patty from each concave mirror (66.2) towards the transparent lens shields (66.16) comprised in front of each concave mirror (66.2). This maximises safety of the external environment for light ray concentrations, as no organisms or species such as birds, can be present in front of the concentrated light rays outside the tubular structure (66.4). The light rays are only partly concentrated when being outside the tubular structure (66.4). This means that the area over the transparent shields (66.16) is safe for both humans and environmental species such as birds. However, it is recommended not to approach the concave mirrors (66.2) when being in operation.
The advantage of this design comprising the tubular structure (66.4) is therefore a much reduced maintenance task, which hence reduces the maintenance costs of the system significantly, as well as maximising safety for the environmental organisms of the nature comprised around the system concerned. This is because the tubular structure (66.4) is fully closed and sealed, until reaching the required heat transfer structure (66.13), which can be a heat exchanger or steam generator (66.13). Transparent shields (66.16) can be made of transparent glass, preferably tempered glass, or transparent plastic such as PVC or UPVC. The glass structures (66.4) are always comprised under the concave mirrors (66.2) in order to avoid any obstacles in front of the incoming light rays, which would produce losses in system efficiency due to light ray losses.
This design system comprises a tubular structure (66.4) that is sustained by rigid vertical members (66.1) to the sustaining structure (66.15), which sustains said concave mirrors (66.2) over said tubular structure (66.4). The concave mirrors (66.2) drive and concentrate the light rays through the transparent shields (66.16) towards the convex mirrors (66.5). Said convex mirrors (66.5) then drive the light rays into a horizontal direction of projection towards a Plano concave minor (66.9), which then concentrates the light rays further towards a Plano convex mirror (66.8). Said Plano convex mirror (66.8) then drives the concentrated light rays horizontally again towards a flat reflection mirror (66.6), which moves the light rays upwards to the required height of projection before being reflected again horizontally by another flat reflection mirror (66.7). So, the next Plano concave mirrors (66.9) concentrate the light rays (66.3) from the next convex mirror (66.5) and the previously concentrated light rays (66.10) from the previously comprised systems, in order to concentrate the light rays again towards a Plano concave mirror (66.8). The light collection systems, comprise each a concave mirror (66.2) and are aligned one after the other (66.2) along the system into a horizontally projecting line, with each comprising a transparent shield (66.16) and a convex mirror (66.5) inside said lower comprised tubular structure (66.4). So, the light rays are driven under a finite set of systems, each comprising a concave mirror (66.2), a transparent shield (66.16) and a convex mirror (66.5). Finally, the light rays are driven by fiat reflection mirrors (66.11) to the required horizontal height of projection. So, the light rays are reflected by a flat reflection mirror (66.12) to be driven to a heat exchanger or steam generator (66.13). Said heat exchanger or generator set (66.13) transfers the heat to a fluid circuit (66.14), preferably a water circuit, to drive a steam turbine, hence generating electricity by driving in turn a generator set.
The light collection and concenation system can also be comprised on uneven or rough ground floor terrain (67.13). This hence means that the lower tubular structure (67.12) has to follow the uneven terrain (67.13) by driving the light rays upwards or downwards as required by using sets of flat reflection mirrors (67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.4). The transparent shields (67.11) are comprised at each light collection system. The flat reflection mirrors (67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.4, 67.6, 67.7) can also be comprised in sets of laterally comprised flat mirrors (67.1, 67.3, 67.6) in order to lift or lower the high of projection of the light rays horizontally by the position of the light delivery mirror (67.4, 67.7). So, the tubular structure (67.12) can be driven along the rough terrain (67.13). Flat reflection mirrors (67.8) can also move the light rays downwards. The light rays are concentrated by concave mirrors (67.9) and driven again horizontally by convex mirrors (67.5). These concave (67.9) and convex (67.5) mirrors can also be comprised inside the tubular structure (67.12) in order to concentrate the light rays even further without the usage of more mirror sets. All mirrors (67.1, 67.2, 67.3, 67.4, 67.5, 67.6, 67.7, 67.8, 67.9) are comprised inside the tubular structure (67.12), which is closed and sealed to the outer environment. The tubular structure (67.12) comprises a part (67.10) which drives the light rays towards the heat exchanger or steam generator (66.13). The transparent shields (67.11) seal the interior of the tubular structure (67.12).
The light rays can also be driven by the concave mirrors (68.2) towards the convex mirrors (68.6) through the transparent shields (68.17) that are housed along the upper surfaces of the closed tubing structure (68.4), hence sealing the interior of the tubing structure (68.4,68.9). The tubing structure (68.4) can comprised concave mirrors (68.50 that concentrate the light rays still further towards the convex mirror (68.7). Both mirrors (68.5, 68.7) are comprised inside the tubular structure (68.4). The sustaining structure (68.3) sustains the tubular structure (68.4,68.9) by vertical sustaining members (68.1). The tubular structure (68.9) is driven over rough terrain on the ground floor (68.8), no matter how rough or irregular the terrain (68.8) is. The transparent shields (68.17) are curved over the top structure of the tubular structure (684, 68.9), along with the tubular structure itself (68.4, 68.9) in order to facilitate the evacuation of min particles from said transparent shields. The upper covers sustained to the concave mirrors (68.2) also assist in avoiding that The flat reflection mirrors (68.10, 68.11) comprised inside said tubular structure (68.9), drive the light rays to the required heights of projection inside the tubular structure (68.9). Sets of laterally positioned flat reflection mirrors (68.13) are comprised over light collection (68.12) and driving (68.11) minors in order to adjust the height of projection to the minor required detail. The flat reflection mirrors (68.14) are also used to drive the concentrated light rays (68.15) to the flat reflection mirror (68.16) to drive the light rays towards the required heat exchanger or steam generator (66.13).
The light rays are concentrated under each concave minor (68.2) in a plurality of times by the concave (68.5) and convex (68.7) mirrors, hence concentrating the newly collected light rays and the already concentrated light rays into a highly concentrated light ray beam, comprised projecting out of the convex mirrors (68.7) at each time. The concave (68.5) and convex (68.7) mirrors concentrate the light rays at even higher concentration ratios, hence maximising the light ray concentration efficiency of the system.
The sustaining structure (69.3) can project into a straight line projection if the surface of the terrain is smooth, hence sustaining the tubular structure (69.4,69.16) by vertical sustaining members (69.2) to said sustaining structure (69.3). The concave mirrors (69.1) concentrate the light rays towards said convex mirror (69.6) inside said tubular structure (69.4, 69.16) through the transparent shields (69.5). Then inside said tubular structure (69.4, 69.16), the light rays are concentrated by a concave mirror (69.6) into the convex mirrors (69.8). Once concentrated, said light rays are driven by sets of flat reflection mirrors (69.9,69.12) to the required height of projection. So, the next system collects the newly collected light rays (69.11) and the already concentrated light rays (69.10) to the concave mirror (69.6), which then concentrates these (69.10, 69.11) towards the convex mirror (69.8) again. Flat reflection mirrors (69.13,69.17) move the light rays (69.14) to the required position of horizontal projection, after being driven horizontally into a plurality of times by the mirrors (69.6, 69.8, 69.9, 69.12). So, said light rays (69.14) are finally driven towards the tubular structure (69.15) of the fluid driving pipe (69.15). Said pipe (69.15) comprises both primary (69.18) and energy storage fluid (69.19) pipes beside each other, embedded into the same pipe (69.15). So, heat can be transferred to both pipes simultaneously to supply storage heat and drive the required energy production machinery, e.g. steam turbines, simultaneously. Said heat transfer area is comprised in a fully sealed environment from the exterior of said tubular structure (69.4,69.16), hence avoiding pollution or unwanted deposition of environmental matter.
The closed tubular structure (70.4) is sustained to the sustaining structure (70.3) by sustaining vertical members (70.1). The concave mirrors (70.2) of each system, drives the light rays through the transparent shield (70.5), towards the convex mirror (70.7). The Plano concave mirrors (70.6) then concentrate the light ray towards the Plano convex mirrors (70.8). Plano convex (70.8) and concave (70.6) mirrors also concentrate the light rays in an appropriate way. Said mirrors (70.6, 70.8) are all comprised inside the tubular structure (70.4, 70.17). The flat reflection mirrors (70.9, 70.10) move the position of horizontal projection upwards to the required projection height The newly collected light rays (70.12) from the next concave mirror (70.7) and the already concentrated light rays (70.11), are concentrated by the next Plano concave minor (70.6) towards the next Plano convex mirror (70.8). The next positioned flat reflection mirrors (70.14) move the light rays to the required position of horizontal projection, where the flat delivery mirror (70.160 is comprised. The flat upper mirrors (70.14) are comprised into a box like structure (70.15), which does not affect the light rays received by the next system, and which is fully sealed from the outer environment. The tubular structure (70.17) hence drives the reflected light rays onto a plurality of times until reaching a set of flat reflection minors (70.18, 70.22), which position the light rays onto the required position of horizontal projection. The light rays (71111) are always driven under the next system's concave mirror (70.7). The flat reflection mirror (70.19) at the end of the system, drives the light rays (70.20) towards the fluid driving pipe (70.21), which transfers the light ray heat to both the primary (70.23) and energy storage fluid (70.24) pipes simultaneously, as said pipes (70.23, 70.24) are embedded into said fluid driving pipe (70.21). The terrain (70.13) can be rough, but the tubular structure (70.17) is driven over said terrain (70.13).
The tubular structure (71.4, 71.18), Is sustained to the rigid sustaining structure (71.3) by rigid vertical members (71.1). The concave mirrors (71.2) drives the light rays to the convex mirrors (71.7), which is housed inside the tubular structure (71.4, 71.18). The transparent shields allow the light rays through, but seal the interior of said tubular structure from the outer environment. The Plano concave mirrors (71.6) drive the light rays towards the Plano convex mirrors (71.8). The tubular structure (71.18) is driven over the rough terrain (71.9), over which the light rays are driven. The flat reflection mirrors (71.10,71.14) drive the light rays to a lower position of horizontal projection. The newly collected light rays (71.11) and the already collected light rays (71.15), are concentrated by the next Plano concave mirror (71.6), which drives said light rays (71.11,71.15) towards the Plano convex mirror (71.8). The light collection mirror (71.16) drives the light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (71.12), which are housed inside a box style structure (71.13) that is part of the tubular structure. The light delivery mirror (71.17) drives the light rays horizontally again into the tubular structure (71.18). The light rays are driven to the last set of flat reflection mirrors (71.19,71.23) after passing through the Plano concave (71.6) and Plano convex (71.8) mirrors along a plurality of times, under each light collection and concentration system. The concentrated light rays (71.20) are finally driven towards the fluid driving pipe (71.21), which embeds the primary (71.22) and energy storage fluid (71.24) circuit pipes. Said embedded pipes are heated simultaneously by the fluid pipe (71.21), which receives the concentrated light rays straight into it (71.21).
The concentrated light rays (72.5) can also be driven towards a concave mirror (72.9). The light rays are driven through a pipe (72.10), which makes part of the tubular structure (72.2). The concave mirror (72.9) is sustained by sustaining members (72.8) to the fluid driving pipe (72.11). Said concave mirror (72.9) drives and concentrates the incoming light rays (72.5) towards the fluid driving pipe (72.11). As said fluid driving pipe (72.11) comprises both primary (72.13) and energy storage fluid (72.12) pipes embedded into it (72.11), the heat of the light rays is transferred simultaneously to the fluids of both pipes, while maintaining the tubular structure (72.2) closed and sealed from the outer environment. The concave mirror (72.9) is also comprised inside the tubular structure (72.2), and is hence comprised inside a box style structure (72.7), which comprises an inclined roof (72.6) on it to drive the rainwater away. This system, as all others, comprises concave mirrors (72.1) at each light collection system, with concave (72.3) and convex mirrors (72.4) inside the tubular structure (72.2) to further concentrate the light rays.
The light rays are reflected and concentrated by concave mirrors (73.1) towards the convex mirrors. The tubular structure (73.2) is driven around the rough terrain surface (73.3) of the ground floor (73.3). The concave mirror (73.5) is sustained by rigid sustaining members (73.4) to the fluid driving pipe (73.7). The pipe (73.6) drives the concentrated light rays towards said concave mirror (73.5). The concave minor (73.5) drives and concentrates the light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (73.7). Said fluid driving pipe (73.7) embeds the primary circuit pipe (73.9) and the energy storage fluid pipe (73.8), to which the heat of the light rays is transferred automatically by the driving of said light rays to said fluid driving pipe (73.7) by said concave mirror (73.5).
The light driving tubular structure (74.1) are being driven over the rough terrain surface (74.2) as in the case of all systems. The housing (74.3) of the Plano concave mirror (74.4) is part of the tubular structure (74.1) and is sealed from the exterior environment. The Plano concave mirror (74.4) is sustained by rigid members (74.6) to the fluid driving pipe (74.5). Said primary (73.9) and energy storage fluid (73.8) pipes are embedded inside the fluid driving pipe (74.5). A Plano concave mirror (74.4) can be used instead of a concave mirror (72.9, 73.5) in order to drive the incoming light rays along a greater surface on the fluid driving pipe (74.5). This results in a better, more distributed and more efficient heat transfer of the heat of the light rays on the surfaces of the fluid driving pipe (74.5), and hence to the fluids of said pipes (73.8, 73.9).
The concave mirrors (75.1) drive and concentrate the light rays towards the convex mirrors (75.2) through the transparent shields (75.3). The convex mirror (75.2) is comprised inside the tubular structure (75.6). Said tubular structure (75.6) is sustained to the rigid sustaining structure (75.4) by the means of sustaining members (75.5). The light ray driving pipe (75.12) drives the light rays towards a flat reflection mirror (75.7), which then drives the light rays upwards towards a downward projecting Plano concave mirror (75.8). Said Plano concave mirror (75.8) is supported by vertical members (75.13). Said Plano concave mirror (75.8) drives and concentrates the upward projecting light rays, downwards towards the fluid driving pipe (75.14), which embeds the primary (75.16) and energy storage fluid (75.15) pipes. The Plano concave mirror (75.8) hence transfers the light rays heat simultaneously to the two fluid pipes (75.15,75.16). The vertically downward projecting position of the Plano concave mirror (75.8) allows at least two horizontal pipes (75.11, 75.12) to drive the concentrated light rays of the light collection and concentration systems, to a flat reflection mirror (75.7) at each side. Said flat reflection mirrors (75.7) then drive the light rays vertically upwards towards said Plano concave mirror (75.8) for light ray concentration towards the fluid driving pipe (75.14). Said Plano concave mirror (75.8) and flat reflection mirrors (75.7) and fluid driving pipe (75.14), are comprised inside a box style structure (75.9) that makes part of the tubular structure (75.6), and which is sealed from the outer external environment The roof comprises an inclined part (75.10) in order to drive the rain water away from the roof (75.10).
The tubular structtue (76.1) is driven over the rough terrain (76.2) by driving the tubular structure (76.3) over the rough terrain surface (76.2). The start of the tubular structure (76.1) is initiated at the initial light collection and concentration system set A plurality of light driving pipes (76.4), drive the light rays towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (76.8), which then drive the light rays to the downward projecting surface of the Plano concave mirror (76.7). Said Plano concave mirror (76.7) then drives and concentrates the light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (76.9), which embeds the primary (76.11) and energy storage fluid (76.10) pipes. The Plano concave mirror (76.7) is enclosed inside a box style structure (76.6) which makes part of the tubular structure (76.4), which also comprises an inclined roof structure (76.5) to drive the rainwater away. Said structure (76.6) interior is also sealed from the exterior environment The tubular structure (77.1) is sustained at the initial light collection and concentration system set Said tubular structure (77.2) is driven over the rough terrain surface (77.3) of the rough floor (77.3), no matter how rough the terrain is (77.3). A concave mirror (77.5) can be comprised projecting downwards towards the fluid driving pipe (77.7), hence transferring the light rays' (77.6) heat to said pipe (77.7), and in turn to the primary (77_9) and energy storage fluid (77_8) pipes simultaneously. A concave mirror (773) allows the light rays to be concentrated into a lower surface area on the surface of the fluid driving pipe (77.7), hence minimising the surface area required to a minimum. A plurality of pipes (77.4) can be comprised driving the light rays towards said flat reflection mirrors (76.8), which hence drives the light rays towards said concave mirror (77.5). The concave mirror (77.5) reflects and drives the light rays (77.60 towards the fluid driving pipe (77.7), hence maximising the concentration of said light rays (77.6) towards said pipe (77.7).
Plano concave (75.8, 76.7) or concave (77.5) mirrors can be comprised projecting upwards, using the same system, but with flat reflection mirrors (76.8) reflecting the light rays onto the opposite way round.
The light rays can be driven through a tubular structure 78.4a) which is driven along an upper direction due to the rough terrain surface (78.10a). In that case, the light rays can be reflected by flat reflection mirrors (78.2a) on the lower side, and be driven upwards along the tubular structure towards the upper flat reflection mirror (78.5a). Said flat reflection minor (78.5a) drives the light rays back into a horizontal direction of projection. The light rays are hence driven along the next horizontal strip (78.8a). The flat reflection mirrors (78.2a, 785a) cover the entire view from the rear pipes (78.4a), hence guaranteeing that all light rays are accurately driven and reflected into the required directions. Opening structures (78.3a, 78.9a) can be comprised along the lower surfaces of the tubular structure (78.4a, 78.8a). The sustaining members (78.1a) sustain said tubular structure (78.4a, 78.8a) by rigid vertical sustaining members (78.7a). However, as said tubular structure should be sealed and closed to avoid maintenance issues and environmental issues, said openings (78.3a, 78.9a) might not be needed at all. The sustaining structural members (78.1a) are sustained over the ground floor surface (78.10a) by vertical sustaining members (78.6a) in order to guarantee a stable structure.
In the same design manner, the rigid sustaining members (78.1b) sustain the tubular structure (78.3b) by the means of horizontal sustaining members (78.46). The flat reflection mirror (78.56) of the initial light reflection drives the light rays (78.66) into the required direction of projection along the tubular structure (78.3b). The flat reflection mirror (78.76) of the next light reflection drives the light rays (78.6b) back into the required direction of projection. So, the tubular structure (78.86) then drives the light rays into the required direction of projection. Openings (78.2b) can be included on the lower surface of said tubular structures (78.3b) in order to evacuate rainwater if required. However, the sealed and closed tubular structures (78.3b) avoids any use of said openings (78.2b), as said openings would invite undesired matter or environmental species, to be deposited along critical areas, hence banning the environment and increasing maintenance costs of the system. So, said openings (78.26) are therefore not required. Said flat reflection minors (78.56, 78.7b) comprise the entire view in the tubular structures (78.3b, 78.819 in order to guarantee that all light rays are reflected and driven into the required directions of projection. So, the tubular structure (78.36) can be inclined as required. Said tubular structure (78.4a) can also be inclined upwards or downwards according to the geometry of the terrain (78.10a).
The sustaining structural members (79.1), sustaining the tubular structure (79.14) by the means of sustaining members (79.2) that attach to both sustaining members (79.1) and tubular structure (79.14). The sustaining structure (79.1) is sustained by vertical members (79.8) to the ground floor (79.12). The light rays are reflected by a flat reflection minor (79.9) that drives the light rays vertically upwards, and then to two laterally comprised flat reflection mirrors (79.3) to drive the light rays laterally. Said light rays are then directed by a light delivery mirror at the required height. This design is used to drive the light rays over a rough terrain geometry profile (79.12). The upper flat reflection mirrors (79.3) is comprised inside a box style structure (79.4) that makes part of the tubular structure (79.5). Said light rays can also be driven by the tubular structure (79.5) to low laterally comprised flat reflection mirrors (79.11) if the terrain surface is low.
Openings (79.7, 79.10) comprised on the lower surfaces of the tubular structure (79.5) are used to evacuate the rainwater if it accumulates inside the tubular structure (79.14). This system is however wmecessary, given that the tubular structure (79.5, 79.14) is sealed from the outer environment to minimise maintenance costs and harm to the environment. The flat reflection mirrors (79.6) can drive the light rays to a higher point of projection if the terrain (79.12) comprises the uneven demography (79.12) comprised. The lower flat reflection mirrors (79.13) can be used to change the direction of projection of the light rays. This is done by driving the light rays again towards an inclined driving minor. This is because a flat reflection mirror (78.2a, 78.5a) would comprise a too large space or area inside the tubular structure (79.14), which makes this system more efficient. The light rays (79.15) are hence driven along the tubular structure (79.14) along the downward inclined tubular structure (79.14) until reaching a flat light collection mirror (79.19). The flat reflection mirrors (79.16) drive the light rays back downwards again, towards a light delivery mirror (79.20), which drives the light rays (79.15) again on a horizontal direction into the horizontal stimch of pipe (79.17). The sustaining members (79.1) are sustained by vertical sustaining members (79.21) on the ground floor (79.12). The light collection mirror (79.19) is slightly inclined downwards to reflect the light rays (79.15) from the inclined tubular structure (79.14). An opening (79.18) is comprised along the lower surface of the inclined tubular structure (79.14) in order to evacuate any deposited rain water. However, said feature (79.18) is not needed because the tubular structure (79.14) is sealed to the outer external environment.
The structural sustaining members (80.1), sustaining the tubular structure (80.9) by the means of horizontal sustaining members (80.2) which attach to both the tubular structure (80.9) and the sustaining members (80.1). The light rays (80.14) are driven over the openings (80.13) to drain any min water away from the tubular structure (80.9). The horizontal sustaining members (80.3) are concentrated to the other sustaining members (80.1). The light rays (80.14) can be reflected by laterally comprised reflection mirrors (80.15). Flat reflection mirrors (80.4,80.16) can drive the light rays (80.14) onto a perpendicular direction of projection as required by the terrain geometry. This minimises construction costs of the system. The flat reflection minors (80.17) can be comprised laterally to each other to reflect the light rays (80.14) accurately towards a light delivery flat mirror (80.6). The light delivery flat mirror (80.6) is slightly inclined to drive the light rays (80.8) towards an inclined tubular structure. The light rays (80.14) are initially collected by a flat light collection flat mirror (80.5). Openings (80.7) can be comprised on said tubular structure to drain the rain water away. This feature is however not really necessary. The light collection flat mirror (80.18) then drives the light rays (80.8) towards a set of flat reflection minors (80.10), which drives said light rays (80.8) towards a flat light delivery mirror (80.19). Said light delivery minor (80.19) then drives the light rays (80.12) onto the required horizontal strip of tube (80.20). Openings (80.11) can also be comprised along the bottom surface of that tube strip (80.20). Like the light delivery mirror (80.6), the light collection mirror (80.18) is also inclined in order to drive the light rays onto the required direction of projection, along the inclined projecting path. The flat reflection mirrors would not be efficient enough, and would occupy a lot of space, hence making the system more difficult to install, and hence less flexible to use or operate for any rough terrain conditions.
The upper light collection flat mirror (81.1a) is sustained by a rigid horizontal member (81.6a), which is sustained by the vertical structure (81.2a) that attaches to the sustaining members (81.4a). Said vertical member (81.2a) is sustained by a set of horizontal members (81.4a) which are sustained over the surface of the ground floor (81.5a). The concave mirrors (81.3a) are sustained by said vertical members (81.4a) at each side, which also sustain the horizontal member (81.7a) that keeps both vertical members (81.4a) together. Said horizontal member (81.7a) also sustains the sustaining members (81.12a) of the tubular structure (81.11a), which sustains said tubular structure (81.11a) over the ground floor surface (813a). The convex mirror (81.8a) is comprised in the inner volume (81.9a) of the tubular structure (81.11a). On this design, the opening is not sealed by a transparent shield, as an opening (81.10a) on the lower surface of the tubular structure (81.11a) allows any rainwater of flowing out of the tubular system (81.11a).
However, the most suitable design is a tubular structure (81.96) where the light rays driven by the concave mirrors (81.6b), are driven across a transparent sealing shield (81.12b). Said shields can be made of glass, preferably tempered glass or PVC or UPVC, and avoids any undesired environmental dirt or species, as well as rain water, of entering into the interior volume (81.106) of the tubular structure (81.9b). This avoids any undesired deposition of water or matter into the tubular structure (81.9b). Therefore no opening (81.10a) is needed on this design. The sealed transparent shield (81.12b) comprises a curved surface in order to allow the drainage of rain water to the sides of said tubular structure (81.96). The convex mirror (81.1Ib) is comprised inside the inner volume (81.10b) of the tubular structure (81.9b). The sustaining members (81.8b) of the tubular structure (81.9b), sustain the tubular structure (81.9b) over the ground floor surface (91.5b), and attach to the horizontal sustaining member (8I.7a). Said member (81.7a) is sustained by the two lateral sustaining members (81.7b), which sustain the concave mirror (81.6b) at each side and which are sustained on the ground floor surface (81.5b). The sustaining members (81.7b) sustain the horizontal sustaining member (81.7a), the concave mirror (81.6b) and the upper horizontal sustaining member (81.2b). The vertical sustaining member (81.4b) sustains the upper horizontal rigid member (81.1b), which in turn supports the upper flat light collection mirror (81.2b) on the required position. The flat light collection mirror (81.2b) is sustained to said vertical member (81.410 by the actuating members, which actuate and orientate said mirror (81.2b).
However, the curved transparent shield (81.12b) can drive light rays to be reflected out of control on said transparent shield (81.12b). So, a flat surfaced transparent shield (81.1b) with a wiper blade to move the water away, is to be preferably recommendable to use.
The light rays can be concentrated into a variety of methods, using concentrating systems that can concentrate a plurality of concentrated light rays, in order to maximise the efficiency of the system. The light rays can be driven across the tubular structures (82.10) in a plurality of tubular structures from various systems, which can comprise Plano concave mirrors (82.14) that further concentrate die light rays into Plano convex mirrors (82.1), as well as comprising flat reflection mirrors (82.15, 82.16) that can adjust the projection height of the light rays to the required height for horizontal projection. The other tubular structures (82.10) can project beside said structure, by comprising flat reflection mirrors (82.2) that align the light rays in parallel to the other light rays, hence being driven along a horizontal structural path (82.3) towards a set of Plano concave mirrors (82.5). The Plano concave mirrors (82.5) project upwards, and hence towards the fluid driving pipe (82.9) that is comprised along the upper surfaces of said mirrors (82.5).
The set of Plano concave mirrors (82.5) projects across many directions of projection to collect as much light ray heat as possible, but drive the light rays towards the same fluid driving pipe (82.9) in order to maximise efficiency and heat transfer while minimising the number of components. The Plano concave mirrors (82.5) also sustain the fluid driving pipe (82.9) by rigid sustaining struts (82.8). The fluid driving pipe (82.9) comprises the primary (82.6) and energy storage fluid (82.7) flowing in parallel to each other (82.6, 82.7), but separate to each other (82.6,82.7). The Plano concave mirrors (82.5) heat the fluids flowing through both pipes (82.6,82.7) simultaneously inside the fluid driving pipe (82.9). The energy storage fluid pipe (82.70 supplies heat to the energy storage fluid tank (82.11), while the primary circuit fluid from the primary circuit fluid pipe (82.6) drives a steam turbine (82.12) that in turn drives a generator (82.13) to generate electricity. The primary circuit fluid should be preferably water, which converts into steam for steam turbine (82.12) driving. A roof structure (82.4) is comprised over the Plano concave mirrors (82.5) to minimise deposition of matter, such as rain particles or environmental deposits.
The light rays (83.7) can be driven through the tubular structures (83.1% as a plurality of tubular structures (83.1) projecting in parallel to each other, towards the surface of a Plano concave mirror (83.8). Said Plano concave mirror (83.8) makes part of a set of Plano concave mirrors (83.8) that projects into a plurality of directions to collect as much light ray heat as possible. Said system maximises the efficiency and flexibility of the configuration of light collection and concentration systems, including the very orientation of these. Concentrated light rays from a plurality of directions, can project towards said Plano concave mirrors (83.8), projecting onto a plurality of directions of projection, all simultaneously. As said Plano concave mirrors (83.8) project sideways, said light rays are driven towards the fluid driving pipe (83.6), which flows along the centre areas of said mirrors (83.8). The fluid driving pipe (83.6) comprises both primary (83.3) and energy storage fluid (83.4) pipes being driven in parallel to each other, hence collecting the light ray heat simultaneously. Said two pipes (83.3, 83.4) are embedded inside the fluid driving pipe (83.6).
Vertical sustaining members (83.2) can sustain the tubular horizontal projecting pipes (83.1) into the required positions. The roof structure (83.5) impedes any rain water from being deposited over the surfaces of the Plano concave mirrors (83.8). The fluid driving pipe (83.6) can be sustained to the Plano concave mirrors (83.8) by rigid sustaining structures (83.9).
The light rays from a plurality of systems can be driven onto parallel projecting tubular structures (84.2) by the help of flat reflection minors (84.1) to drive said light rays towards a Plano concave mirror (84.3). Said Plano concave mirror (84.3) makes part of a set of Plano concave mirrors (84.3, 84.5) that project on a plurality of directions to maximise light rays collection efficiency and maximise the flexibility of the installation of the system. So, said light rays of a plurality of tubular structures, once being concentrated, are driven towards the Plano concave mirror (84.3). Said Plano concave mirror (84.3) drives the light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (84.10). Said fluid driving pipe (84.10) is comprised downwards, flowing along the lower surfaces of the mirrors (84.3, 84.5) herause said mirrors (84.3, 84.5) project downwards. The same fluid driving pipe (84.10) flows along all mirrors (84.3, 84.5) to collect all the light ray heat. Said pipe (84.10) comprises both primary (84.12) and energy storage fluid (84.11) pipes embedded into it, hence maximising heat transfer efficiency to the fluids of said pipes (84.11, 84.12). So, both primary (84.13) and energy storage fluid (84.14) pipes are embedded one (84.13) over the other (84.14) inside said fluid driving pipe (84.10). This makes heat transfer more efficient and simultaneous to both pipes (84.11, 84.12, 84.13, 84.14) simultaneously. Sustaining struts (84.4) sustain the fluid driving pipe (84.10) to the Plano concave mirrors (84.10).
The energy storage fluid is supplied by pipe (84.15) to the energy storage fluid tank (84.6), hence supplying heat, while the primary circuit fluid is driven by pipe (84.16) to drive a steam turbine (84.8), which in turn drives a generator (84.9) to generate electricity. The two processes take place simultaneously. So, during low light or dark hours, the energy storage tank (84.6) supplies heat to a heat exchanger or steam generator, which transfers heat to the primary circuit pipe (84.16) in order to drive said steam turbine (84.8) during said time, hence avoiding any stoppage in power generation of the system. Another pipe (84.7) brings the primary circuit fluid back to the starting position, to be driven again along the mirrors (84.3, 84.5) through the fluid driving pipe (84.10).
The tubular structures (85.2) are driven in parallel to each other towards a Plano concave mirror (85.4). The flat reflection mirrors (85.1) drive the light rays towards the required directions of projection, in order to drive these towards the Plano concave mirror (85.4). Said Plano concave mirrors (85.4) are comprised in a set of Plan of concave mirrors (85.4, 85.6) as previously mentioned, but this time projecting upwards. So, the light rays are driven towards the fluid driving pipe (853). Sustaining struts (85.5) sustain the Plano concave mirrors (85.4) to said fluid driving pipe (85.3). The primary (85.8) and energy storage fluid (85.7) pipes are embedded inside said fluid driving pipe (85.3). The primary circuit fluid is driven by a pipe (85.9) to drive a steam turbine (85.11) that in turn drives a generator (85.12) to generate electricity. The fluid is then driven by a pipe (85.10) back to the start of the heat collection process. The primary circuit fluid should be preferably water. The tubular structures (85.14) can hence drive light rays from many sides towards said Plano concave mirrors (85.4, 85.6). Flat reflection minors (85.13) can drive the light rays towards the required directions of projection. The tubular structures (85.14) comprise lateral walls (85.15). This system design allows the light rays to be driven to various Plano concave mirrors (85.4, 85.6) simultaneously.
The tubular structures (86.1, 86.13) can also drive the light rays (86.14) straight horizontally towards a Plano concave mirror (86.16), which is part of a set of Plano concave mirrors (86.16). The light driving pipes (86.2) can be driven vertically upwards to position the light rays (86.14) onto the required positions of projection before being reflected by the flat reflection mirrors (85.1). The sustaining structure (86.15) sustains the mirrors (86.16) into the required positions of projection compared to the fluid driving pipe (86.6). Said Plano concave mirrors (86.16) project sideways, towards the sides into a plurality of directions to maximise light ray collection from the maximum number of light collection and concentration systems. A roof structure (86.3) minimises the amount of rain water deposited on the Plano concave mirrors (86.16) by the environment.
The tubular structures (86.18) can also comprise Plano concave mirrors (86.8) that concentrate the light rays (86.14) further towards a Plano convex mirror (86.20), before driving said light rays towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (86.7, 86.19), which moves the light rays (86.14) to the required position of horizontal projection. The light rays (86.17) are reflected by said Plano concave mirrors (86.16) towards the fluid driving pipe (86.6), which embeds the primary (86.4) and energy storage fluid (86.5) pipes into said fluid driving pipe (86.6). The primary circuit fluid is driven through a pipe (86.9) after heat collection, in order to drive a steam turbine (86.11) which in turn drives a generator (86.12) to generate electricity. A pipe (86.10) then drives the primary circuit fluid back to the start of the heat collection process again.
The tubular structures (87.10) drive the light rays horizontally after being reflected by flat reflection mirrors (87.1) from vertically projecting directions, or by flat reflection mirrors (87.6) from the sides, such that the light rays are projected horizontally and in parallel to each other along the tubular structures (87.10, 87.15). Said light rays are hence driven towards a set of Plano concave minors (87.3, 87.5) that project into a plurality of directions by comprising a plurality of mirrors (87.3, 87.5) in order to maximise the light ray collection for a plurality of directions, hence maximising efficiency and flexibility of the system. Said tubular Sill/CillItS (87.15) can be sustained by vertical members (87.14) over the ground floor. The Plano concave mirrors (87.3, 87.5) reflect the light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (87.11) which flows as one pipe in front of all mirrors (87.3, 87.5) in order to maximise heat collection efficiency, as well as flowing along the lower surfaces of said mirrors (87.3, 87.5), and hence closer to the ground floor surface due to the downward direction of projection of said Plano concave mirrors (87.3, 87.5).
Sustaining structures (87.4) sustain said Plano concave mirrors (87.3, 87.5) to said fluid driving pipe (87.11), such that the positions of the two members (87.3, 87.5, 87.11) are minimised as much as possible. The fluid driving pipe (87.11) comprises the primary (87.12) and energy storage fluid (87.13) circuits embedded inside said pipe (87.11), hence offering a simultaneous heat transfer system. The primary circuit pipe (87.12) drives fluid through a pipe (87.16) after heat collection, towards a steam turbine (87.8) that is driven by said heated fluid, which should be in the form of steam when driving the turbine (87.8). Said turbine in turn drives a generator (87.9) to generate electricity. The back driving pipe (87.7), drives fluid back to the start of the heat collection process for the primary circuit fluid pipe (87.12).
The tubular structures (882) drive the light rays horizontally after being reflected by flat reflection mirrors (88.1) if these project vertically upwards before, or by flat reflection mirrors (88.10) if these were projecting towards the side before. The sustaining vertical members (88.16) sustain the tubular structures (88.2) on the ground floor surface (88.14). The structure where the mirrors (88.17) can be closed and sealed from the outer environment, hence avoiding any unwanted deposition of environmental matter or rain water on the mirrors (88.17) and systems. So, insulation members (88.15, 88.19) seal the system on all sides of said mirrors (88.17). Said minors (88.17) reflect the incoming light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (88.3), which is driven along the upper surfaces of the mirrors (88.17) due to the upward projection of said mirrors (88.17). Said fluid driving pipe (88.3) comprises both primary (88.5) and energy storage fluid (88.6) pipes as previously mentioned, embedded inside the fluid driving pipe (883). The mirrors (88_17) and pipes (88.3) are reflected by an upper closed roof (88.7) that makes part of the insulated casing structure (88.15, 88.19).
The horizontal light driving pipes (88.11, 88.13) can drive the light rays in parallel to each other, and also comprise Plano concave mirrors (88.22) that concentrate the light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (8813). Flat reflection mirrors (88.12, 88.21) then drives said light rays to the required horizontal position of projection. Said Plano concave (88.22) and Plano convex (88.23) mirrors are comprised if a plurality of light ray beams are driven across the pipe (88.13). A Plano concave mirror (88.8) can concentrate the light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (88.20), before said light rays are driven horizontally into a conduit (88.18) towards the Plano concave mirror (88.17). This would improve light concentration efficiency. A closed and sealed structural roof (88.9) protects said Plano concave (88.8) and Plano convex (88.20) mirrors from the environment.
The light rays can be driven by vertically projecting pipes (89.1) to the flat reflection minors, such that said horizontal pipes (89.2) drive the light rays straight towards a Plano concave minor (89.11). Structural members (89.9) insulate the interior of the closed structure (89.3) where said Plano concave mirrors (89.11, 89.12, 89.15) from the outer environment. Sustaining structures (89.10) sustain the fluid driving pipe (88.3) to the Plano concave mirrors (89.11, 89.12, 89.15) at all times. Said fluid driving pipe (88.3) comprises both primary (89.14) an energy storage fluid (89.13) pipes embedded inside it (88.3). Said steam is comprised over the ground floor surface (89.8), which can also be rough if it results to be so. A covering member (89.4) seals the Plano concave mirror (89.17) from the outer environment, which can hence again concentrate the light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (89.18) without any deficiency.
The light rays are then driven towards the Plano concave mirror (89.15) by a horizontally projecting conduit (89.16). Said light rays are then driven towards the primary (89.14) and energy storage fluid (89.13) pipes. The Plano concave mirrors (89.11, 89.12, 89.15) are sideways projecting, such that the primary (89.14) and cncrgy storage fluid (89.13) circuits are driven along the mid-section of said mirrors (89.11, 89.12, 89.15) for efficient heat collection. The light rays are driven by the tubular structures (89.5) to the initial concentrating Plano concave mirror (89.17). Said pipes (89.5) can comprise Plano concave minors (89.20) to concentrate the light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (89.21), before driving said light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (89.7, 89.19) which can adjust the position of horizontal projection of said light rays before reaching said Plano concave mirror (89.17). The advantage of comprising a pre concentrating mirror (89.17) is that less surface is required on the light ray collection mirrors (89.11, 89.12, 89.15), and hence a higher plurality of light ray driving pipes (89.2, 89.5) can be driven towards said light ray concentrating mirrors (89.11, 89.12, 89.15).
The light rays can be driven by flat reflection mirrors (90.1) to the required position of horizontal projection, such that said light rays then project horizontally in parallel to each other long the horizontally projecting pipes (90.12). Said pipes (90.12) project towards a Plano concave mirror (90.3) As said Plano concave mirror (90.3) projects downwards, the surface of said minor (90.3) drives the light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (90.17), which is driven near to the ground floor surface. The sustaining members (90.2) sustain the Plano concave minors (90.3, 90.4) and the fluid driving pipe (90.17) into the required position of projection. The sustaining vertical member (90.13) sustain the horizontally projecting pipes (90.12) into the required positions. The insulated wall (90.14) at the side, insulates and seals the interior of the closed and sealed structure (90.5) from the outer environment, hence minimising contamination and maintenance costs to said Plano concave mirrors (90.3, 90.4). The Plano concave minors (90,3,90.4) are comprised in mirror sets (90.3, 90.4) that project into a plurality of directions of projection in order to maximise system flexibility and utility at all times, with a capacity for a maximum number of light ray driving pipes (90.12) towards said minors (90.3, 90.4).
The sets of Plano concave mirrors (90.3, 90.4) are comprised inside the closed insulated structure (90.5, 90.14). The fluid driving pipe (90.17) comprises both primary (90.16) and energy storage fluid (90.15) pipes comprised inside said pipe (90.17). Both pipes (90.15, 90.16) project in parallel to each other along the fluid driving pipe (90.17). Flat reflection mirrors (90.7, 90.18) drive the light rays to the required position of horizontal projection in order to drive the light rays towards the required Plano concave minor (90.3, 90.4). Said light rays are driven into a horizontal conduit (90.6) after the moving of the position of projection. The light rays can also be driven through horizontal pipes (90.9) after being concentrated, directly towards a Plano concave mirror (90.8) that concentrates the light rays straight towards a Plano convex mirror (90.19). The light rays are then driven directly towards said flat light collection mirror (90.18) horizontally. Flat reflection mirrors (90.10) can reflect The light rays if the light rays project onto a horizontal direction of projection. The Plano concave mirror (90.21) concentrates the light rays into a Plano convex mirror (90.22), before being driven to a set of flat reflection mirrors (90.11, 90.20) for adjustment of the position of horizontal projection of said light rays. The light rays are then driven directly towards said Plano concave mirror (90.8).
The light rays can be driven through horizontally projecting pipes (91.2) after being concentrated into the tubular structures, such that the vertical light driving pipes drive the light rays to the required position of horizontal projection. The light rays (91.4) are then driven towards a Plano concave minor (91.7) which projects sideways. This Plano concave minor (91.7) is part of a set of Plano concave mirrors (91.7) that project opposite to each other along a sideways direction of projection, hence maximising the efficiency of light rays collection and concentration. Said minors (91.7) then drives the light rays (91.14) towards the fluid driving pipe (91.5), which transfers the light rays heat instantaneously to the primary (91.16) and energy storage fluid (91.15) pipes. The sustaining structures (91.60 sustain the Plano concave minors (91.7) firmly to the fluid driving pipe (91.5), which is projected in front of both mirrors (91.7). The primary circuit (91.8) drives the fluid to drive a steam turbine (91.11), which in turn drives a generator (91.13)10 generate electricity. The tubular pipes (91.9) can also comprise flat reflection mirrors (91.10) if said light rays are driven horizontally. The pipes (91.9) can also comprise a Plano concave mirror (91.19) to concentrate the light rays further towards a Plano convex mirror (91.20), before driving the light rays towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (91.17, 91.18) for horizontal heights of projection adjustments. The roof structure (91.3) is used to minimise any deposition of matter on the mirrors (91.7).
The light driving pipes (91.1, 92.2) can also drive the light rays towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (92.4), with one of said flat reflection mirrors (92.4) being comprised in front of each horizontal light my driving pipe (92.1). Said flat reflection mirrors (92.4) drive the light rays (92.5) vertically downwards towards an upward projecting Plano concave mirror (92.16). Said fluid driving pipe (92.1) is sustained over said Plano concave mirror (92.16) by sustaining struts (92.14). Said upward projecting Plano concave mirror (92.16) drives the light rays upwards towards the fluid driving pipe (92.1), hence transferring the light ray heat instantaneously to the primary (92.1) and energy storage fluid (92.15) pipes. The primary circuit pipe (92.6) drives the heated fluid, preferably water in the form of steam, to drive a steam turbine (92.12), which in turn drives a generator (92.13) to generate electricity. The back flowing pipe (91.12, 92.11) drives the primary circuit fluid back to the start of the energy collection process after driving said steam turbine (91.11, 92.12). Flat reflection minors (92.8) drive the light rays towards the flat reflection mirrors (92.4), hence into the required direction of projection. A roof structure (92.3) over said Plano concave minor (92.16) protects said mirror (92.16) from any unwanted deposits on it (92.16). The Plano concave mirror (92.10) can concentrate further the light trays towards the Plano convex mirror (92.18), before said light rays are adjusted in terms of position of horizontal projection by a set of flat reflection mirrors (92.9, 9117).
The light rays (93.1, 93.10) can also project directly horizontally towards flat reflection mirrors (93.8), comprised in front of each tubular light driving pipe (93.18), and such that the light rays are driven vertically upwards towards a downwards projecting Plano concave mirror (93.5) by said flat reflection mirrors (93.8). Said flat reflection minors (93.8) are each sustained by a horizontal member (93.9) that sustains to the structure (93.2) which sustains the roof structure (93.3) over said mirror (93.5) system. The roof structure (93.3) avoids any unwanted deposits of matter on the minor (93.5) and flat reflection mirrors (93.8). The sustaining members (93.4) sustain the mirror structure (93.5) over the fluid driving pipe (93.6). This system design transfers heat to the primary (93.7) and energy storage fluid (93.16) circuits simultaneously, which arc both embedded inside thc fluid driving pipe (93.6). Thc primary circuit pipe (93.17) drives steam to drive a steam turbine (93.13), which in turn drives a generator (93.14) to generate electricity. The back flowing pipe (93.12) drives the primary circuit fluid, preferably water or steam, back to the heat collection process position. The flat reflection minors (94.14) can reflect the light rays form vertical to horizontal, while at other orientations (93.11), said flat mirrors (93.11) can drive the light rays from a horizontal direction of projection, to the required direction of projection. The advantage of this design, is that the downward projecting position of the Plano concave mirror (93.5) avoids any deposition of rain water on its surface, no matter if the roof structure (93.3) is present over it (93.5) or not.
The light rays can also be driven through horizontal parallel projecting tubes (94.1) towards a Plano concave mirror (94.7), which drives said light rays directly to the fluid driving pipe (94.9), which comprises the primary (94.16) and energy storage fluid (94.15) pipes embedded over each other (94.8, 94.17) inside said fluid driving pipe (94.9). The sustaining members (94.60 sustain the set of Plano concave mirrors (94.7) in the required position, compared to the fluid driving pipe (94.9), hence guaranteeing a rigid position between said fluid driving pipe (94.9) and said Plano concave mirrors (94.7). The fluid driving pipe (94.9) is driven across all mirrors of said set of Plano concave mirrors (94.7) in order to maximise heat collection efficiency. A closed roof structure (94.5), closed by side panels (94.3), seals and closes the interior of the place where said mirrors (94.7) are comprised, from the outer environment, in order to avoid any contamination or unwanted deposition by environmental organisms, hence minimising maintenance costs of the system. Flat reflection mirrors (94.2, 94.14) can also drive the light rays to the required directions from being vertically projecting, as well as form being horizontally projecting (94.12). Each pipe (94.11) comprises lateral side walls (94.13) to protect the light rays from any outer unwanted obstacles. The parallel projecting pipes (94.11) can drive the light rays to a Plano concave mirror (94.10), which concentrates the light rays towards a Plano convex (94.18) mirror. The Plano convex mirror (94.18) drives the light rays horizontally again towards one of said Plano concave mirrors (94.7). The Plano concave (94.20) and flat reflection mirrors (94.19) can also be comprised inside the piping (94.11) to pre concentrate the light rays further. Said Plano concave (94.10) and Plano convex (94.18) mirrors pre concentrate the light rays to a single storage light ray beam, hence minimising the size required by said Plano concave mirrors (94.7) for light ray reception.
The light driving tubes (95.1) always come directly from the tubular structures (75.6) that are comprised under the concave mirrors (75.1)011 the solar ray collection and concertation systems, such that said tube structures (95.1) remain totally closed and sealed from the outer environment. The vertical light ray driving pipes (95.2) comprise flat reflection mirrors (95.3, 95.15) to drive the light rays horizontally, while the horizontally projecting pipe (95.14) comprises flat reflection mirrors (95.13) to drive said light rays horizontally across the pipe (95.12). The light rays can be pre concentrated by a Plano concave mirror (95.11), which concentrates said light rays to a Plano convex mirror (95.21), which then drives the concentrated light rays (95.20) horizontally towards a light reflection mirror. Alternatively, said light rays (95.5) can be driven directly towards the fat reflection minors (95.6). Said light rays (95.5) are driven vertically downwards towards the surface of an upward projecting Plano concave mirror (95.16), which concentrates the light rays directly towards the fluid driving pipe (95.8). The fluid driving pipe (95.8) embeds the primary (95.9) and energy storage fluid (95.18) pipes inside it (95.8), hence maximising simultaneous heat transfer efficiency. The sustaining members (95.17) sustain firmly said fluid driving pipe (95.8) to said lower comprised Plano concave mirror (95.16), hence guaranteeing a firm position between these two members (95.8, 95.16). The flat reflection mirrors (95.6) are each sustained by a horizontal member (95.19) which is sustained to the vertically projecting members (95.100 that sustain the roof structure (95.7), which is in this design case closed and sealed with the help of lateral members (95.4), in order to fully seal the Plano concave mirror (95.16) from the outer environment, hence minimising system maintenance costs. All flat reflection mirrors (95.6) are comprised over said Plano concave mirror (95.16).
The Plano concave mirror (96.7) can also be comprised projecting downwards towards the ground floor surface, hence driving the light rays towards the fluid driving pipe (96.20), which embeds both primary (96.8) and energy storage fluid (96.21) pipes in it (96.20). Said mirror (96.7) is sustained by vertical projecting members (96.10) over the ground floor, and sustaining members (96.9) sustain said fluid driving pipe (96.20) firmly to said Plano concave mirror (96.7). The light rays (96.3) are driven to a flat reflection mirror (96.19), which drives said light rays to a vertically upward projecting direction, hence towards said Plano concave mirror (96.7). All flat reflection mirrors (96.19) are comprised under said Plano concave mirror (96.7). Said flat reflection mirrors (96.19) are sustained into position by horizontal members (96.22) which are sustained by the vertical members (96.10) that sustain said upper comprised Plano concave mirror (96.7) or by the vertical members (96.5) that sustain said closed roof structure (96.6), which makes it a closed and sealed space due to the lateral members (96.4) being also comprised to avoid any pollution from the outer environment, hence minimising system maintenance costs. The light driving pipes (96.1) drive the light rays (96.3) horizontally after being reflected by flat reflection mirrors (96.2,96.18). The horizontal projecting pipes (96.17) also drive the light rays into the require direction by the means of flat reflection mirrors (96.16). Said light rays are driven across the pipes (96.15) towards a Plano concave mirror (96.13), which pre concentrates said light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (96.25), hence driving said light rays horizontally towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (96.12, 96.24) to adjust the position of horizontal projection of said light rays. So, a horizontal conduit (96.11) drives said light rays (96.23) towards said flat reflection mirrors. A flat member (96.14) is comprised over the pre concentrating Plano concave mirror (96.13) to seal it (96.4, 96.6) as well from the outer environment, hence minimising maintenance costs. The Plano concave (96.28) and Plano convex (96.29) mirrors can pre concentrate the light rays into said pipes (96.1, 96.15), and can also be adjusted to the required height of horizontal projection by the means of a set of flat reflection mirrors (96.26, 96.27).
The tubular structure (97.2) under said concave mirrors, is sustained to the rigid sustaining structure by vertical members (97.1) which in turn are sustained by vertical members (97.8) to the wound floor surface. The convex mirror (97.3) comprised inside said tubular structure (97.2), is comprised under the transparent shield (97.4), which allows the light rays to be driven through. The tubular structure (97.2) can comprise openings (97.9) under the opening of the transparent shield (97.4) if no transparent shield is present, or openings (97.7) under the sets of mirrors (97.5, 97.6, 97.10, 97.11) in order to allow rain water to fall to the ground if the transparent shields (97.4) are not present. This would be comprised along the lower surface of the tubular structures (97.12). The Plano concave mirrors (97.5) concentrate the light rays towards the Plano convex mirrors (97.10), which then drives the light rays towards the set of flat reflection mirrors (97.6, 97.11) that adjust the position of the height of the horizontal projection of said light rays.
The tubular structures (98.5) comprised under the concave mirrors (98.3), comprise the convex mirror (98.1) present under the transparent shield (98.2) inside said tubular structure (98.5), such that the concave mirror (98.3) can concentrate the light rays towards said convex mirror (98.1). Closed openings (98.7) can be comprised under the transparent shield (98.2) for concave mirror (98.1) maintenance and transparent shield (98.2) cleaning. Also, closed openings (98.10) can be comprised under the mirrors (98.4, 98.9), including the Plano concave (98.4) and Plano convex (98.9) mirrors for maintenance of said mirrors. Both openings (98.7, 98.10) are closed to seal the tubular structure from the outside environment, but can be opened by maintenance crews if required for maintenance applications. The new light rays (98.8) from the convex mirrors (98.1) and the already concentrated light rays (98.6), are re concentrated again by said Plano concave mirror (98.4) towards said Plano convex mirror (98.9).
The lower flat light collection mirror (99.1) collects the inclined projecting light rays (99.5), such that said light rays (99.5) project towards said mirror (99.1) from the sun. Said mirror (99.1) surface then drives the light rays directly to the concave mirror (99.6), which then concentrates said light rays towards the convex mirror (99.3), which is comprised inside the tubular structure (99.8). The tubular structure (99.8) is comprised under said light collection (99.1) and concave (99.6) mirrors. The light rays are driven through a flat transparent shield (99.40 in order to seal the interior of the tubular structure from the outer environment. Said light collection mirror (99.1) is sustained by a vertical member (99.7), which sustains the actuation system (99.2) that positions said mirror (99.1) constantly into the required orientation and direction of projection. An opened opening (99.9) can be comprised under the transparent shield (99.4) for maintenance applications. However, a closed opening (99.9) is preferable. A closed opening (99.10) is comprised under the main sets of mirrors for maintenance applications, which is closed during operation, but can be opened by maintenance crews for maintenance applications. The transparent shield (99.4) should be preferably flat and its (99.4) surface should project vertically upwards, hence minimising the undesired reflection of the light rays to other unwanted and uncontrolled directions. The same feature is to be inclined with said other transparent shields (97.4, 98.2), which have to also be preferably flat transparent shields (97.4, 98.2) present over the tubular structures (97.2, 98.5).
The light rays from the sun (100.3) can project at an inclined angle if projection, towards the lower flat light collection mirror (100.1), which is inclined at an angle to allow the horizontal driving of the light rays (100.4) towards the concave mirror (100.15). Said concave mirror (100.15) then concentrates the light rays (100.13) towards the convex mirror (100.9). Then, said light rays (100.16), are driven in a coherent manner through the lower tubular structure (100.14) after being concentrated. The light rays cross the transparent flat shield (100.10) when being driven towards the convex mirror (100.9) by the concave minor (100.6). A wiper blade (100.11) allows the removal of water and dirt particles from the transparent shield (100.10) when required, in order to maximise transparency and minimise light ray losses or unwanted reflections. A rotary member (100.12) connects to said wiper blade (100.11) and comprises the electric motor required. A water flowing system can also be included with said wiper blade (100.11), such that the water will improve the removal of dirt from the transparent shield (100.10). The lower flat light collection mirror (100.1) is sustained by a vertical member (100.7), which in turn is sustained to a sustaining horizontal member (100.2), which is supported by the supporting members (100.8). A supporting horizontal member (100.5) is also supported by the sustaining members (100.8), but supports the upper flat light collection mirror (100.6). The tubular structure (100.14) is supported by members (100.17) that connect both the upper surface of the lower tubular structure (100.14) and the sustaining members (100.8).
If the light rays (101.3) from the sun are projected across the opposite direction, without any matter on the inclination of the projection direction of said light rays (101.3), the upper flat light collection mirror (101.4) collects the light rays (101.3). Said mirror (101.4) then drive the light rays (101.2) in a linear and coherent direction of projection, towards the lower light collection mirror (101.1). Said lower light collection minor (101.1) is inclined in such a way that the light rays (101.7) are then driven by said lower minor (101.1) in a horizontal direction of projection, towards the concave mirror. Said concave mirror then concentrates the light rays towards the convex mirror, which is comprised inside said tubular structure (101.11). The upper flat light collection mirror (101.4) is supported by a vertical member (101.6), which also supports the actuation system (101.5) which assures that the orientation and direction if projection of said upper light collection mirror (101.4), is accurate at all times. Said vertical member (101.6) is separated into two separate lateral members (101.6) in order to avoid any obstacles on the path of the light rays (101.7).
The tubular structure (101.11) is supported to the horizontal sustaining members (101.9) by the means of sustaining members (101.10) that attach to both the sustaining members (101.9) and said tubular structure (101.11). The transparent shield (101.13), seals the interior of the tubular structure (101.11) from the outer environment, and is hence closed, but is as transparent as possible to allow the light rays to be driven through it (101.13). A wiper blade (101.14) is used to clean the upper surface of said transparent shield (101.13) when required. A water jet can be used to ensure that said wiper blade (101.14) is as efficient as possible, and leaves a transparent shield (101.13) that is as transparent as possible at all times. Said wiper blade (101.14) is rotated back and forth by a rotational member (101.8), which is actuated by an electric motor.
An opening (101.12) can be comprised on the lower surface of the tubular structure (101.11) for maintenance applications of the transparent shield (101.13) and the convex mirror, which should be preferably closed when the system is in operation, hence minimising maintenance costs for the system. A closed opening structure (101.15) can be comprised on the lower surface of the tubular structure (101.11) for maintenance crews to maintain the sets of mirrors when required. However, said opening (101.15) should be closed during operation and service time, in order to maximise safety and to minimise the contamination of said inner tubular structure (101.11) by environmental organisms, hence minimising maintenance costs for the renewable energy system.
The light rays (102.2) are driven towards the upper flat light collection mirror (102.3), which is inclined in such a manner that it drives the incoming solar light rays (102.10) directly towards the lower flat light collection mirror (102.8). Said lower flat light collection mirror (102.8) then in turn drives the light rays (102.9) horizontally towards the concave mirror (102.14). Said concave mirror (102.14) then concentrates the light rays (102.5) directly towards the convex minor, which then drives the light rays (102.15) horizontally again inside the tubular structure (102.7) towards the next light ray collection system. Said tubular structure (102.7) is sustained to the sustaining members (102.13) by the rigid sustaining members (1016), which attaches to both members (102.7, 102.13) simultaneously. The upper flat light collection mirror (102.3) is sustained by a vertical member which is sustained by a horizontal member (102.4) which connects to the sustaining members (102.13). Said concave mirror (102.14) drives the light rays (102.5) through the transparent shield (102.1) when concentrating these (102.5). A wiper blade (102.11) is used to wipe out the transparent shield (102.1) to ensure that said shield (102.1) remains as transparent as possible at all times, which can hence also be performed with a water jet to assist the cleaning of said transparent shield (102.1). Said wiper blade (102.11) is rotated by a rotational member (102.12), which is actuated by an electric motor when the usage of said wiper blade (102.11) is required.
The light rays (103.1) can project from the sun towards the upper flat light collection mirror (103.4), which then drives the light rays (103.2) downwards towards the lower flat light collection mirrors (103.9), which then in turn drive the light rays (103.3) towards the concave mirror. The upper flat light collection mirror (103.4) is sustained into the required position by a set of vertical members (103.6), which sustain the actuator (103.5) to control the orientation and direction of projection of said upper mirror (103.4). A wiper blade (103.7) can wash the upper surface of the transparent shield (103.10) in order to remove any water or dirt particles from the surface (103.10). The wiper blade (103.7) is actuated by a rotational member (103.8) that is actuated by an electric motor. The opening (103.11) comprised under the wiper blade (103.7) can be used for maintenance crews to carry maintenance or repair applications, although said opening (103.11) should preferably be closed during operation times. Another opening structure (103.12) can be comprised along the lower surface of the tubular structure (103.13) for maintenance or report of the sets of mirrors. The concentrated light rays (103.14) are driven across the lower tubular structure (103.13).
The light rays of the sun (104.3) can be driven at an angle, which is why the upper flat light collection mirror (104.5) is inclined in such a way that said light rays (104.3) are driven by said mirror (104.5) into a linear direction of projection (104.13) towards the lower flat light collection mirror (104.1). Said lower flat light collection mirror (104.1) then drive the light rays (104.12) in a linear direction towards the concave mirror. Said lower flat light collection mirror (104.1) is sustained by a vertical member (104.10) that is sustained by a horizontal member (104.2) which attaches to the sustaining members (104.11). The tubular structure (104.8)15 sustained to the sustaining members 004.11) by rigid sustaining rails (104.9), which hence sustain it (104.8) rigidly into the required position. The light rays (104.17) are driven across the tubular structure (104.8) by the convex mirror (104.4) after receiving the light rays. The upper flat light collection mirror (104.5) is sustained into position by a vertical member (104.7), which is in turn sustained by a horizontal sustaining member (104.6) that connects to both sustaining members (104.11) at each side. A lower opening (104.14) can be comprised for water drainage applications. The wiper blade (104.15) is used to clean the surface of the transparent shield, which is controlled by a rotary actuator (104.16) that is actuated by an electric motor.
The light rays (105.1) from the sun can projects directly towards the low flat light collection mirrors (105.2), such that the upper flat light collection mirror (105.3) is inclined such that its surface (105.3) projects perpendicularly to the incoming solar light rays (105.1). This results in the minimum surface area achievable for said mirror (105.3) to be in thc position comprised, hence minimising light rays losses, and maximising light ray collection by said lower flat light collation mirror (105.2). The lower flat light collation mirror (105.2) can hence drive the light rays (105.4) horizontally towards the concave mirror. The tubular structure (105.8) is sustained over the ground for surface (105.9) to the sustaining members by vertical rigid members (105.5), without any matter on how uneven or rough the terrain (105.9) is. The end of the tubular structure (105.6) comprises a flat reflection mirror to drive the light rays to the required heat exchanger or steam generator (105.7).
Said light rays from the sun (106.1) are driven past the surface of the upper flat light collection rnimpr (106.3) towards the lower flat light collection mirror (106.2) when said solar light rays (106.1) project towards said lower flat light collection minor (106.2). So, the surface (106.3) of said upper flat light collection mirror (106.3) projects at 90 degrees to the direction of projection of the light rays (106.1) at all times for this case. So, the lower flat light collection mirror (106.2) can collect the solar rays (106.1) with maximum efficiency and drive said light rays (106.4) towards the concave mirror. The tubular structure (106.8) is sustained over the ground floor surface (106.9) by rigid sustaining members (106.5), which sustain said tubular structure (106.8) to the sustaining members. The end of the tubular structure (106.6) comprises a flat reflection mirror that drives the light rays towards the required heat exchanger or steam generator (106.7). The terrain (106.9) can be uneven or rough, but the tubular structure (106.8) drives the light rays over it (106.9) in this case, hence minimising construction and installation costs for the system.
The light rays (107.1) from the sun can project between the two surfaces of the upper light flat collection mirror (107.3) as previously explained, and be collected by the lower flat light collection minor (107.2), which is accurately inclined and projecting, such that the light rays (107.4) are then driven by said lower flat light collection mirror (107.2) towards the concave mirror. For direct or straight tubular structures (107.8), the structure (107.8) is also sustained over the ground floor surface (107.9) by rigid members (107.5) to the sustaining members. So, damage to the tubular structure (107.8) and the ground floor surface (107.9) is brought to a minimum, and hence are also the installation costs of the system. The end of the tubular structure (107.6) comprises a flat reflection mirror to drive the light rays directly to the required heat exchanger or steam generator (107.7).
The tubular structures (105.8, 106.8, 107.8) can drive the light rays directly towards the tubular pipes (82.10, 83.1, 84.2, 85.2, 85.14, 86.1, 87.10, 87.15, 88.2, 88.11, 89.2, 89.5, 90.9,90.12, 91.2, 91.9, 92.1, 93.18, 94.1, 94.11, 95.1, 95.12, 96.1, 96.15) of the light ray concentration systems previously described, such that the tubular structures (105.8, 106.8, 107.8) drive the light rays directly towards the light concentrating mirrors (82.5, 83.8, 84.3, 84.5, 85.4, 85.6, 86.16, 87.3, 87.5, 88.17, 89.11, 89.12, 90.3, 90.4, 91.7, 92.16, 93.5, 94.7, 95.16, 96.7), hence also maintaining the tubular structure (105.8, 106.8, 107.8) totally isolated and sealed from the outer environment, hence minimising maintenance costs to the systems. This design is the most preferable design option. Said piping structures (82.10, 83.1, 84.2, 85.2, 85.14, 86.1, 87.10, 87.15, 88.2, 88.11, 89.2, 89.5, 90.9, 90.12, 91.2, 91.9, 92.1, 93.18, 94.1, 94.11, 95.1, 95.12, 96.1, 96.15) can also be driven in parallel towards the light concentrating mirrors (82.5, 83.8, 84.3, 84.5, 85.4, 85.6, 86.16, 87.3, 87.5, 88.17, 89.11,89.12. 903, 90.4, 91.7,92.16, 93.5,94.7, 95.16, 96.7) or the light pre concentrating mirrors (88.8, 89.17, 90.8, 94.10, 95.11, 96.13).
The solar rat collection and concentration system can be comprised on the roof (108.1) of a building (108.15), hence offering the possibility to put the system over the ground floor surface (108.16), and hence minimising the floor space required for the system installation. So, the vertical sustaining members (108.12) sustain the sustaining members over the roof floor surface (108.1), such that the tubular structure (108.3) is sustained to said sustaining members by rigid sustaining members (108.2). The light rays (108.8) of the sun can be driven between the two surfaces (108.9) of the upper flat light collection mirror (108.9) towards the lower flat light collection mirror (108.7). Said mirror (108.7) then drives the light rays horizontally towards the concave mirror (108.4), which then concentrates the light rays towards the convex mirror (108.5) comprised inside the tubular structure (108.3). Said light rays are driven through the transparent shield (108.6) when driven towards the convex mirror (108.5), such that said shield (108.6) seals the interior of the tubular structure from the outer environment to minimise maintenance costs of the system. The tubular structure (108.13) drives the light rays to the fluid driving pipe (108.10), which embeds both primary (108.11) and energy storage fluid (108.14) pipes, hence guaranteeing a constant and simultaneous heat transfer to both pipes (108.11, 108.14).
The solar ray collection and concentration system can also be comprised over the roof surface (109.1) of any tall building (109.16), hence putting said system well above the ground floor surface (109.17). However, the tubular structure (109.11) can drive the light rays to a flat reflection mirror (109.12), which drives said light rays down a vertical pipe (109.13) to the fluid driving pipe (109.14). Said fluid driving pipe (109.14) can he comprised on the ground floor surface (109.17), hence minimising piping and installation costs of the system, as well as minimising the components required at the top of said building (109.1) roof surface (109.1). The fluid driving pipe (109.14) can be comprised under a shed roof structure (109.19) in order to minimise exposure of said pipe (109.14) to the outer environment. Said fluid driving pipe (109.14) embeds both primary (109.15) an energy storage fluid (109.18) pipes inside it (109.14), hence guaranteeing an efficient and instantaneous transfer of heat to the two pipes (109.15, 109.18) simultaneously.
As explained previously, the light rays (109.80 from the sun can project along the surfaces (109.9) of the upper flat light collection mirror (109.9) towards the lower flat light collection mirror (109.10), which collects said light rays (109.8) and drives these (109.8) towards the concave mirror (109.3). Said concave mirror (109.3) drives said light rays directly to the convex mirror (109.2), through the transparent shield (109.4). The transparent shield (109.4) seals the interior of the tubular structure (109.5), where said convex mirror (109.2) is comprised, from the outer environment, hence minimising maintenance costs of the system. The tubular structure (109.5) is sustained by rigid members (109.7) to the rigid sustaining members, which are in turn sustained to the roof surface (109.1) rigidly by rigid vertical members (109.6).
A plurality of light ray collection and concentration systems (110.3) can be comprised on the roof surface (110.18) of a building (110.9). Said systems (1103) should be better comprised beside each other in order to minimise the surface area (110.18) on said roof surface (110.18) required by said systems. On each solar ray collection and concentration system (110.3), the upper flat light collection minors (110.1) are sustained by the rigid vertical members (110.3) on both sides. The concave mirror (110.2) is also sustained by said two rigid vertical members (110.3) at each side. The horizontal projecting member (110.4) connects to both vertical sustaining members (110.3) and sustains the rigid members (110.7) which sustain the tubular structures (110.8) rigidly in their place over the roof structure (110.18).
The concentrated light rays of each light collection and concentration system (110.3), are driven via the tubular structure (110.8) to a flat reflection mirror, which drives said light rays downwards into a vertical pipe (110.10) along the outer wall of the building (110.9), hence minimising the space used inside said building (110.9). A flat reflection mirror (110.11) then drives the light rays into a horizontal direction of projection, along a pipe (110.14), until reaching a last flat reflection mirror (110.17) at the required position of heat transfer. At that position, the light rays are driven vertically downwards into a vertical pipe (110.16) by said flat reflection mirror (110.17) towards the fluid driving pipe (110.13), where the heat of the light rays is transferred to the primary circuit fluid. Said pipes (110.10, 110.14, 110.16) can be comprised separately for each light collection and concentration system (110.3), such that each system delivers the concentrated light rays laterally and in parallel, to the fluid driving pipe (110.13). Said fluid driving pipe (110.13) is sustained by vertical members (110.15) to the ground floor surface (110.12), hence keeping said pipe (110.13) well sustained.
The fluid driving pipe (110.13) collects the heat of the light rays driven through said vertical pipes (110.16) and drives the heated fluid, preferably water, to drive a steam turbine (110.6). Said steam turbine (110.6) in turn drives a generator set (110.5) to generate electricity. Energy storage fluid can be driven along a separate parallel pipe to said fluid driving pipe (110.13), in order to guarantee an instantaneous and simultaneous supply of heat to the energy storage fluid tank as well. The positioning of said steam turbine (110.6) and said generator set (110.5) over the ground floor surface (110.12) minimises the space required on the roof surface (110.18) for the installation of the system concerned, as well as minimising the weights installed on top of the building (110.9) concerned.
The solar ray collection and concentration systems (110.3) can also be of larger size, with larger concave (110.2) and flat light collection mirrors (110.1) in order to minimise the materials and construction costs on the roof (110.18) of the building (110.9) concerned. This design would result in a lower number of systems 9110.3) comprised beside each other on the roof (110.18) of the building (110.9), and hence will comprise a lower number of pipes (110.10, 110.14, 110.16) required for the system installation.
The upper flat light collection mirrors (111.7) are sustained by a horizontal member (111.8) which is sustained to the two vertical members (1113) which are comprised over the roof surface of a building (111.12). Said vertical members (111.3) sustain the concave mirror (111.2) of said systems. The lower horizontal member (111.9) sustain the lower tubular structure (111.5), which is sustained by rigid sustaining members (111.4) to said horizontal member (111.9). From each tubular structure (111.5), a flat reflection minor drives the light rays through a downward projecting pipe (111.10) to a flat reflection mirror (111.11). Said flat reflection minor (111.11) drives the light rays through a horizontal pipe (111.17) towards another flat reflection mirror (111.21). Said flat reflection mirror (111.21) finally drives said light rays through a vertical pipe (111.20) that projects towards the lower flat reflection mirrors (111.19). One flat reflection mirror (111.19) is comprised under each of said vertical projecting pipes (111.20), which projects in parallel to each other (111.20) towards the flat reflection mirrors (111.19).
Said flat reflection mirrors (11.19) drive the light rays towards a Plano concave mirror (111.24) which concentrates the light rays (111.23) towards the fluid driving pipe (111.22). The fluid driving pipe (111.22) drives the fluid through the fluid driving pipe (111.15) after collecting the heat from the light rays (111.23). Said heated fluid can hence drive a steam turbine (111.6), which can in turn drive a generator set (1 I 1.1) to generate electricity. The remaining primary circuit fluid is then driven from the steam turbine (111.6) through a vertical pipe (111.14). The vertical sustaining members (111.18) sustain the flat reflection minors (111.19). The light driving pipes (111.10, 111.17, 111.20) are positioned along the outer surface of the wall of the building (111.12), hence maximising the space available inside said building. The fluid driving pipe (111.15) is sustained over the ground floor surface (111.13) by sustaining members (111.16). The advantage of this system design is that the concentration of all light rays (111.23) towards the fluid driving pipe (111.22), is that the heat transfer is much higher and concentrated on one area, which can increase the heat transfer significantly. The energy stage fluid pipe can also be driven in parallel to said fluid driving pipe (111.15, 111.22), hence guaranteeing a simultaneous heat transfer to both pipes, such that the energy storage fluid tank can also be supplied with heat. The Plano concave minor (111.24) is comprised inside a closed structure in order to seal the entire system from the outer environment, hence minimising environmental damage, and hence system maintenance costs. The primary circuit pipe (111.15, 111.22) should preferably drive water as a primary circuit fluid.
The light rays (112.3) from the sun can project between the two surfaces of the upper flat light collection mirror (112.4), towards the lower flat light collection mirror (112.1). Said lower flat light collection mirror (112.1) can then drive the light rays into a horizontal and coherent path. The tubular structure (112.15) is sustained by members (112.2) to the sustaining members (112.6), which are supported by the vertical members (112.14) to the ground floor surface (112.16). The transparent shield (112.5) seals the interior of the tubular structure (112.15) from the outer environment, hence minimising maintenance costs. The end of said tubular structure (112.15) can comprise a flat reflection minor (112.7) which drives the light rays down a vertical pipe (112.17) towards a heat exchanger or steam generator (112.25). Water flows downwards by gravity through a downward projecting pipe (112.20) from a water basin (112.13) or water supply pipe, and drives a water turbine (112.21), which transmits the rotational motion through a shaft (112.22) to a generator set (112.23), which generates electricity.
Then, said water is driven through a pipe (112.24) through said heat exchanger or steam generator (112.25), hence collecting the heat supplied by the concentrated light rays. The light rays heat said heat exchanger or steam generator (112.25) but do not contact the flowing water, which flows inside said pipe (112.24) through said heat exchanger or steam generator (112.25) to collect the light ray heat as required. The steam is driven up a vertical pipe (112.26) to drive a steam turbine (112.9), which in turn drives a generator set (112.11) to generate electricity. The steam turbine (112.9) is comprised inside a casing (112.8) for protection applications. The remaining steam is then driven through a pipe (112.10) from said steam turbine (112.9), through a heat exchanger (112.12) to condense and liquefy said steam before being delivered again to said water basin (112.13). Said system is performed by a secondary cooling circuit (112.18), which comprises a pipe (112.18) that collects water from the water basin (112.13) and is driven by a pump (112.19) through said pipe (112.18) to said heat exchanger (112.12). Said water collects the heat form the exit pipe (112.10) of the steam turbine (112.9) inside said heat exchanger (112.12), hence assuring that the water is condensed as required before being delivered to said water basin (112.13).
The cooling water flows fast enough in order to avoid any production of steam inside said cooling pipe (112.18) when said water flows through said heat exchanger (112.12). The system with the pump (112.19) is controlled by a computerised controller. An electrically controlled gate inside said water collecting pipe (11220), can control the flow of water through the water collecting pipe (112.20) according to the intensity of the projecting light rays. The water flows down said pipe (112.20) by gravity, hence Minimising the energy consumption of the system. The water flow control gate is to be preferably comprised at the interior of the start of the downward projecting water collection pipe (112.20). The water flow control gate should be inside said pipe (112.20) to control the flow of the water flow intake of the system. The advantage of such a system, is that the electricity generation is increased, as both water turbine and steam turbine combined together, generate a high electrical generation output, with no additional energy required to move the water through the pipes (112.20, 112.24, 112.26). The electrical energy produced comes from a combination of steam power and hydroelectric power. Although the system is therefore a fully passive water driven system, the construction costs of such a system can be high.
The tubular structure (113.4a) is sustained over the ground floor surface (113.1a) by rigid members attaching to the structural casing (I13.4a). The transparent shield (113.3a) on the upper surface of said tubular structure (113.4a) can be inclined towards one side of said tubular structure (113.4a) with a wiper blade (I 13.5a) present to clean any undesired water or environmental dirt present on said transparent shield. This would maximise the light ray intensity being driven to the interior (I I3.2a) of said tubular structure (113.4a). The advantage of said design is that water particles would be drained automatically away from said transparent shield surface (113.3a) by gravity. The wiper blade (113.5a) should project perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said tubular structure (113.4a), in order to remove water and dirt particles from the upper surface of the transparent shield (I13.3a) as quickly and efficiently as possible. So, the wiper blade (113.5a) must consequently be moved back and forth in directions of motion that are parallel to the direction of projection of said tubular structure (I13.4a).
The tubular structure (113.2b) can alternatively comprise a flat transparent shield surface (113.4b) with a wiper blade (113.56) that can clean the transparent shield surface (113.46) when required. So, light rays could reach the interior (113.1b) of said tubular structure (113.2b) with maximum efficiency. The tubular structure (113.2b) is always sustained over the ground floor surface (113.1b). The wiper blade (113.5b) should in this case project in parallel to the direction of projection of said tubular structure (113.26), in order to maximise water and dirt removal efficiency from the upper surface of said transparent shield surface (I 13.4b). So, said wiper blade (113.56) must be consequently moved back and forth in directions which are perpendicular to the directions of projection of said tubular structure (113.2b). The wiper blade (113.56) will hence drive the water and dirt particles to the sides of said transparent shield (113.4b), hence leaving said unwanted dirt and water, to fall downwards on the outer surfaces of the side walls (113.2b) of the tubular structure (113.2b) by simple gravity. , The solar ray collection and concentration systems should comprise de-icing filaments, (114.8) comprised around the transparent shield (114.3). This is very important, as the transparent shield (114.3) should be free at all times of any obstacles in order for the light rays to be easily penetrable through said shield (114.3). The wiper blade (114.9) wipes the undesired water particles when required. So, the light rays (114.10) can be driven as required by said convex mirror. The flat light collection mirrors (114.2, 114.4) also can comprise wire filaments in order to avoid any icing of being accumulated over the surfaces of said mirrors (114.2, 114.4). The same system is comprised with the concave mirror (114.7), where a layer of filament wires (114.6) comprised along the rear surface of said mirror (114.7), heats said concave mirror (114.7) to ensure that no ice particles are present on the mirror's (114.7) surface. De-icing filaments (114.1, 114.5) can also be comprised around the actuators in order to make sure that said mirror orientating devices are ready to enter into actuation at all times, as required. The wire filaments (114.2, 114.4, 114.6, 114.8) heat the surfaces comprised around these, hence melting the ice, and leaving water particles around. On said transparent shield (114.3), said wire filaments (114.8) avoid any ice from forming, and said wiper blade (114.9) removes the water particles as required from its (114.3) surface.
The flat light collection mirrors (115.1, 115.9) comprises wire filaments (115.2, 115.4) to avoid any ice of forming on the surfaces of said mirrors (115.1, 115.9). A similar situation is comprised on the concave mirror (115.6), where wire filaments (115.5) are comprised under its surface (115.6) to keep the temperature of its surface (115.6) above icing, and so, above 0 degrees, hence removing any forming of ice sheets. The wire filaments (1153) comprised around said transparent shield (115.8) ensure that the temperature of the transparent shield's (115.8) surface never reaches the freezing point, or 0 degrees. So, no ice is formed, and the resulting water particles are removed by the wiper blade (115.3) as required. Hence, no ice sheets can ever be formed on the transparent shield (115.8), hence maximising system functionality at all times.
The components inside the closed tubular structure (116.7) are never covered by any icing, as no water from the outer environment can enter into said structure (116.7). So, said mirror (116.6) does not need to be de-iced, as the closed structural components (116.5) around it (116.6), ensure that no icing is to harm said mirrors from the outer environment, as said tubular structure (116.7) is closed and sealed from the outer environment. The transparent shields (116.1) ensure that no water penetrates inside the tubular structure (116.7). Heating resistances are comprised just around (116.8) said transparent shields (116.1) to ensure that no ice is formed over the upper shield (116.1) surfaces. This is performed by ensuring that the temperatures around said shield surfaces (116.1) do not reach the freezing temperatures, in other words, 0 degrees. So, no ice sheets can be forrned on said transparent shields (116.1) at any time. The light collection mirrors (116.2, 116.3) and concave mirrors (116.4) should however comprise de-icing systems, as these (116.2, 116.3, 116.4) are comprised into the open outer environment. Said power generation system is comprised such that it can operate in any weather or environmental conditions, at any year time, at all times.
The solar ray collection and concentration systems (117.1, 117.2, 117.7, 117.16, 117.26) can be comprised on the ground floor, but oriented into any direction, as the system is designed such that the flat light collection and reflection heliostats or heliostats (117.1, 117.2, 117.16, 117.26) are oriented towards the light rays (117.14) of the sun, such that said light rays (117.14) are projected towards the mirror or heliostat surface (117.1, 117.2, 117.16, 117.26). So, if the lower mirror or heliostat (117.2) collects the light rays (117.14), said light rays (117.14) will be driven towards the concave mirror (117.7) for light concentration (117.23) into the transparent lenses (117.24) of the light driving pipe (117.20, 117.29). However, if the light rays (117.14) project onto the opposite direction, said upper mirrors or heliostats (117.1, 117.26) will collect the light rays (117.14) and drive these (117.14) towards said lower mirror or heliostat (117.2), prior of said lower mirror or heliostat (117.2) driving said light rays (117.14) towards the concave mirror (117.7). Said concave mirror (117.7) drives the light rays (117.23) towards the transparent surface (117.24) of the light driving pipe (117.20, 117.29). Each set of mirrors (117.1, 117.2, 117.7, 117.16, 117.26) has its own orientation system, based on the position at which it is oriented on the system (117.11) according to the position of the direction of the sustaining members (117.11).
Each set of mirrors or heliostats (117.1, 117.2, 117.7, 117.16, 117.26) has its own geometrical orientation system, independent of the other mirror or heliostat (117.1, 117.2, 117.7, 117.16, 117.26) systems. The dimensions of both the upper' (117.1, 117.26) and the lower (117.2) mirrors or heliostats are exactly the same for each system. Said upper (117.1, 117.26) and lower (117.2) mirrors or heliostats are always comprised over the height of the sustaining bars (117.11, 117.25) on the two sides. This allows the system to maximise light reflection efficiency from the lower mirror or heliostat (117.2) at all times of the day. The distance between the upper mirror or heliostat (117.1) and the lower mirror or heliostat (117.2) is such that always one mirror or heliostat (117.1, 117.2, 117.16, 117.26) will be able to be rotated sideways up to 45 degrees form its original position, while the other (117.1, 117.2, 117.16, 117.26) mirror or heliostat comprised laterally, will be in its original idle position. This is because only one mirror or heliostat (117.16) can collect and initially reflect the solar light rays (117.14), weather it is the lower mirror or heliostat (117.2) or the upper mirror or heliostat (117.1, 117.26). The distance for only one rotated mirror (117.16) is recommended, as the greater is the distance, the less light rays (117.14) can be collected in the distance concerned.
So, the mirrors or heliostats (117.1, 117.2, 117.16, 117.26) are oriented onto any required direction to reflect efficiently the light rays (117.14), independently of the other systems. So, no fixed position is required for the solar ray collection and concentration systems in question. The light driving pipe (117.20, 117.29) comprises flat mirrors or heliostats (117.1, 117.2, 117.16, 117.26) to drive the light rays towards the required direction, if angles are less than 45 degrees. Each system comprises a transparent shield (117.9) to transfer the light rays (117.14) into the light driving pipe (117.20, 117.29). Said pipe (117.20, 117.29) can also comprise flat mirrors or heliostats (117.10) to drive the light rays into the pipe (117.20, 117.29), provided that the change in direction has an angle greater than 45 degrees.
The light driving pipe (117.22, 117.29) comprises side surface areas for the sets of four flat mirrors or heliostats (117.12, 117.13, 117.15), such that said mirrors or heliostats (117.12, 117.13, 117.15) drive the light rays onto the required direction. Said system is needed, as the change in direction of the light rays has an angle lower than 45 degrees. The initial minor or heliostats (117.13) drives the light rays perpendicularly to the set of two minors or heliostats (117.15), which drive the light rays back to a flat mirror or heliostat (117.12) which is less inclined than the first one (1117.13) in order to drive the light rays onto the right direction. The lower mirror or heliostat (117.2, 117.21) is inclined if it (117.2, 117.21) is the first to collect the incoming light rays (117.14), to drive these towards the concave mirror (117.7). So, the upper mirror or heliostat (117.1, 117.26) does not need to be inclined. If it is the upper mirror or heliostat (117.1, 117.26) that initially collect the incoming light rays (117.14), the lower mirror or heliostat should not be sidewise inclined, as it is the one which should reflect and drive the light rays (117.17) towards the concave mirror (117.7).
The sustaining members (117.18, 117.25) sustain the system structure on both sides. The lower mirror or heliostat (117.19) can be comprised being positioned perpendicularly to the incoming light driving pipe (117.20, 117.29), as long as said pipe (117.20, 117.29) is comprised opposite to said mirror or heliostat (117.19) at its required position. The two upper (117.1, 117.26) and lower (117.2, 117.21) mirrors or heliostats (117.16) should never touch each other. The positioning of the lower mirror or heliostat (117.19) towards the extreme of a perpendicular member (117.18) maximises the usage and efficiency of the space used for said systems, hence maximising light collection per unit of area. If the upper mirror or heliostat (117.26) collects the incoming light rays (117.14) initially, the lower mirror or heliostat (117.19) is not inclined sideways, but just tilted to drive said light rays towards the concave minor (117.7). However, if the lower mirror or heliostat (117.2) collects the light rays (117.14) from the sun initially, said mirror or heliostat (117.2) droves the light rays directly towards said concave minor (117.7), hence meaning that the upper mirror or heliostat (117.1) is not tilted sideways, but just inclined perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light rays (117.14). This is in order to maximise light ray collection efficiency by said lower mirror or heliostat (117.2).
The flat light collection mirror or heliostat (117.26) is inclined at nearly 45 degrees to the idle linear direction of projection according to the directions of projection of the sustaining bars (117.25) for this case, in order to reflect the light rays efficiently towards the lower flat mirror or heliostat (117.19). However, on other mirror or heliostat positions (117.2, 117.21), the flat light collection mirror or heliostat (117.2) is inclined slightly sideways compared to the idle linear direction of projection (117.11) of said mirror or heliostat (117.2), according to the direction of projection of the sustaining bars (117.11) comprised in the position of said mirror or heliostat (117.2). So, the light rays (117.17) can be driven efficiently and coherently towards the concave mirror (117.7) comprised in front of said lower fiat light collection mirror or heliostat (117.2). So, each system operates separately from the others, hence avoiding the need of inserting systems linearly together, and hence maximising system efficiency and installation flexibility.
The light driving pipes (117.20,117.29) are driven from a plurality of directions, towards the heat exchanger (117.8), which transfers the heat of the light rays to the energy storage fluid pipe (117.28) in order to heat up the energy storage fluid tank's (117.4) contents, as well as to the primary circuit (117.27) in order to drive the steam turbine (117.6), which simultaneously drives a generator (117.5) to generate electricity. Both processes can be performed simultaneously in said heat exchanger (117.8). The light rays (117.23) arc driven by said concave mirror or heliostat (117.7) towards the transparent surface (117.24), which is flat to avoid any undesired light refraction.
The parts of the light driving pipes (117.30, 117.31, 136.8, 137.8) which are driven behind said lower mirrors or heliostats (117.2, 136.7, 137.7) are designed to not interfere with the structure of said systems (117.30, 117.31, 136.8, 137.8) thanks to the very low cross-sectional diametrical dimensions of said structures (117.30, 117.31, 136.8, 137.8). So, said lower mirrors or heliostats (117.2, 136.7, 137.7) can be rotated at up to 45 degrees sideways as required without any obstacles being encountered into the mirror's or heliostat's (117.2, 136.7, 137.7) path.
The light rays (11732) project towards the inclined surface of the lower flat light ray collection mirror or heliostat (117.2). Said minor or heliostat (117.2), due to its inclined surface projecting towards said light rays (117.32), drives said light rays in parallel to said lower circular pipe (117.36) to the concave mirror (117.35) comprised over said light driving pipe (117.36). In this case, said upper light ray coilection mirror or heliostat (117.34) is not required, as the light rays are driven directly by said lower flat collection mirror or heliostat (117.2) into said concave mirror (117.35). Said concave mirror (117.35) drives said light rays (117.33) in a concentrated and coherent manner (117.33), towards the light collection window (117.36) comprised along the light driving pipe, which is comprised under said lower flat light collection (117.2) and concave (117.35) mirrors. The lower flat light collection and reflection mirror, which is a convex minor to concentrate said light rays, is comprised under the flat lens of said window (117.36). So, said light rays are being controlled continuously and simultaneously. This depends entirely on the orientation and direction of projection of said system. All the mirror or heliostat (117.2, 117.34, 117.37, 117.40) orientation towards said light rays (117.32, 117.39), is controlled by the centralised computer system. In this case, the light rays (117.32) project along the 90 degrees of projection along the direction of rotation of said lower flat light collection mirror or heliostat (117.2). Simultaneously, the light rays (117.39), while projecting along the same direction of projection as said other previously mentioned light rays (117.32), project (117.39) towards the upper flat light collection mirror or heliostat (117.40). This is because the light rays project along the 90 degrees along the projection surface of said upper flat collection mirror or heliostat (117.40). The whole point of the system, is to use the required mirror or heliostat (117.2, 117.34, 117.37, 117.40) at different times of the day, such that due to the inclined orientation and direction of projection of said light rays (117.32, 117.39), a maximum amount of light rays can be collected from said mirrors or heliostats (117.2, 117.34, 117.37, 117.40), weather form the upper (117.34,117.40) or lower (117.2, 117.37) flat collection mirrors or heliostats. This depends on the time of the day concerned.
Said upper flat collection mirror or heliostat (117.40) drives the light rays coherently and in parallel to said lower light driving pipe (117.38), to the lower flat light reflection minor or heliostat (117.37). As said light rays project in parallel to said system and frontally positioned flat light ray collection mirror or heliostat (117.37), said frontally positioned flat collection mirror or heliostat (117.37) is inclined in parallel to drive the light rays at a horizontal direction towards the concave mirror (117.41), but it is not oriented at any direction of projection for this case. Said flat mirror or heliostat (117.37) hence drives said light rays towards the concave mirror (117.41) in a horizontally projecting direction, and in parallel to said lower comprised light driving pipe (117.38). Said concave mirror (117.41) finally drives said light rays (117.42), in a coherent and concentrated manner (117.42), towards the flat light collection surface (117.38). Said convex mirror is comprised under said light ray collection surface (117.38), which drives said light rays back into the required direction into the light driving pipe concerned_ So, simultaneously, the same pipe can comprise solar ray collection systems, in the form of mirrors or heliostats (117.2, 117.37, 117.40) which collect said light rays (117.32, 117.39) from the opposite sides and directions (117.2) as the other solar systems (117.37, 117.40). This depends entirely on the orientation of the pipeline, and the direction of projection of the light rays for each moment of the day, making a different case at each second passed through into the day time. The central computer system can control all of said mirror or heliostat positions and operations (117.2, 117.37, 117.40) coherently at any times of the day during daylight hours. The centralised computer system can do said job all together and simultaneously. According to the orientation and direction of projection of each pipe, said system calculates the required orientation of each mirror or heliostat (117.2, 117.37, 117.40), and weather the light rays should be initially collected by the upper flat light ray collection mirror or heliostat (117.40) or the lower flat light ray collection mirror or heliostat (117.2, 117.37).
The solar light ray collection and concentration systems (118.4) can be comprised around a building (118.2) in order to minimise costs and space required, as well as to minimise the surface area required for the system. This can be done by inserting the system over the roof of the building (118.2). The building's roof (118.2) can comprise a plurality of systems, comprised beside each other, with a pipe (118.3) that drives said light rays from the roof (118.2) to the ground floor. Alternatively, a set of vertical pipes (118.7, 118.9) drives the light rays up to the roof (118.2) from the ground floor (118.7), and then back down to the grid floor (118.9), hence forming a continuous system with one single light driving pipe (118.10). Said light driving pipe (118.10, 118.16) can start at any place (118.10), and is sustained by thc sustaining members (118.12). The light driving pipes (118.1, 118.16) drive the light rays from the building roof (118.2) to the heat exchanger (118.11) by the means of a driving pipe (118.13), airing with the other light driving pipe (118.10, 118.16), which drives the light rays also to said heat exchanger (118.11). The lower mirror or heliostat (118.4) can be comprised facing perpendicularly to the lateral sustaining members (118.5) if the angle of inclination is large, hence maximising system space usage.
The heat exchanger (118.11) supplies heat to the energy storage fluid pipe (118.17), which can flow under the access platform of the building (118.8) and supply heat to the energy storage fluid tank (118.16). Simultaneously, the heat of the light rays is supplied to the primary circuit fluid (118.18), which drives a steam turbine (118.14) that can in turn drive a generator (118.15) to generate electricity.
The light rays (118.26) can project towards the lower flat light collection mirror or heliostat (118.23) concerned. This is because due to the direction of projection of said light rays (118.26), said light rays project along the 90 degrees of projection of said mirror or heliostat (118.23). So, the computerised system automatically chooses said lower flat collection mirror or heliostat (118.23) in order to collect said light rays (118.26). So, said flat collection mirror or heliostat (118.23) drives said light rays (118.26) to the frontally comprised concave mirror (118.25) by the angle of inclination (118.23) at which said mirror (118.23) is inclined. Said concave mirror (118.25) then concentrates said light rays into the light collection window (117.27). In this case, no application is required for the upper flat light ray collection mirror or heliostat (118.24), as said light rays (118.26) projects along the 90 degrees of orientation of said lower flat light ray collection mirror or heliostat (118.23) for this race. So, said light flat collection mirror or heliostat (118.24) is left at a neutral position, but is orientated (118.24) in order to project exactly in parallel to said incoming light rays (118.26), hence allowing said frontally positioned flat mirror or heliostat (118.23) to collect as many solar rays (118.26) as possible. This hence saves as much energy as possible. At each side, an orientation of 45 degrees can be used to reflect the light rays (118.26) which project in reality at 90 degrees to the neutral plane of said mirror or heliostat (118.23, 118.24).
The light driving pipe (117.27) can simultaneously, comprise other systems (118.20, 118.21), which are comprised along the same direction of projection pipe (118.27) as said light ray collection window (118.27), but being comprised at another direction of projection as the same pipe (118.27) comprised, although making part of the same pipe (118.27). In this system's case, the same light rays (118.20) project from the sun towards the same direction of projection, and hence towards the upper flat light rays collection mirror or heliostat (118.22) for this case. As said light rays project along the 90 degree angle reflection area of said upper flat collection mirror or heliostat (118.22), the central computerised system chooses to orientate said upper flat collection mirror or heliostat (118.22) towards said light rays (118.20). So, thanks to the inclination of said flat mirror or heliostat (118.22), said light rays (118.20) will be driven straight towards the lower flat light collection mirror or heliostat (118.21). Said lower flat collection mirror or heliostat (118.21) is inclined at exactly the required angle, in order to drive said light rays (118.20) directly and horizontally towards said concave mirror (118.19) comprised under said upper flat light ray collection mirror or heliostat (118.22).
Said flat mirror or heliostat (118.21) is oriented flatly at no angle if viewed from above, as the inclination should be of zero degrees in order for said upper flat mirror or heliostat (118.21) to reflect said light rays efficiently on said lower flat reflection mirror or heliostat (118.21). Said lower flat reflection mirror or heliostat (118.21) then drives said light rays to the concave mirror (118.19) comprised. If said mirror or heliostat (118.21) would be inclined at any angle, said light rays would miss their reflective target (118.19), which is the concave mirror (118.19) in this case. The concave mirror (118.19) then drives said light rays (118.20), in a concentrated and coherent manner (118.20), towards said light my collection window (118.27). Said light ray collection window (118.27) is comprised under the concave mirror (118.19) and the lower frontal light ray collection mirror or heliostat (118.21) concerned. A convex mirror is comprised under the flat surface of said light ray collection window (118.27). Said convex mirror focuses towards the direction of projection of said pipe (118.27), such that the light rays will be reflected and driven straight into the direction of projection of said pipe (118.27). The central control computer chooses the mirror or heliostat (118.22, 118.21) which is comprised along the 90 degrees of inclinational projection on both sides of said mirrors or heliostats (118.22, 118.21), along which said light rays (118.20) project onto. That decision depends entirely on the direction of projection and inclination of said light rays (118.20), which is monitored continuously by said centralised control computer.
This is because if the opposite mirror or heliostat (118.21) is chosen, said inclination will be higher, hence minimising the amount of light rays (118.20) that could be reflected towards said concave mirror (118.19) concerned. This would hence reduce the energy intake, and hence minimise the efficiency of said solar ray concentration system. Also, if the opposite mirror or heliostat (118.21) is taken, the inclination of said minor or heliostat (118.21) will be greater in order for said light rays (118.20) to be driven into a horizontal direction of projection. This would not only reduce the efficiency of the system, but would reduce the amount of mirrors or heliostats (118.22, 118.21) that could be installed into the same distance of light driving pipe concerned (118.27). This is because the higher inclination would mean that a greater space would be needed in order to house said mirror or heliostat (118.21), without entering into contact with the opposite comprised concave mirror (118.19). The greater is the inclination of said mirrors or heliostats (118.22, 118.21), the greater is the distance required between the central pivot of action of said mirrors or heliostat (118.21) and said respective next positioned item (118.19) concerned, which in this case is the next concave mirror (118.19).
The greater is the angle of inclination of a mirror or heliostat (118.22, 118.21) between said mirrors (118.22, 118.21) and said light rays (118.20), the lower is the reflected horizontally projecting light ray on the mirror's or heliostat's surface (118.21, 118.22), and hence the lower is the collected light ray amount, hence meaning that the lower is the efficiency of light intake and electrical energy generated of the system. The lower is the angle of inclination of said mirrors or heliostats (118.22, 118.21) between said mirrors (118.22, 118.21) and said light rays (118.20), the greater is the amount of light rays being collected by said flat mirrors or heliostats (118.22, 118.21), and hence the greater is the horizontally driven light rays, being driven to said concave mirror (118.18), which means that the greater is the collected light rays, and the greater is the thermal efficiency of the system concerned, hence meaning that the greater is the power generation efficiency of the solar ray collection system comprised. So, it is entirely up to the centralised computer system to choose the required mirror or heliostat (118.22, 118.21) along the day time, in order for said system to collect and drive the maximum amount of light rays possible from the sun onto the concave mirror (118.19), at all times of the day, and simultaneously from all pipes. The chosen mirror or heliostat (118.22, 118.21) can be changed if required by said computer system, according to the direction of projection of said light rays (118.20) for each of the pipes comprised.
Buildings (119.1) can also comprise a plurality of solar ray collection and concentration systems that drive the light driving pipe (119.2, 119.3, 119.7, 119.11, 119.13) to different positions along the walls (119.1) for said building (119.1). One pipe (119.1) can drive light rays to heat a radiator (119.4) inside the building (119.1). Another pipe (119.3) can supply heat to the water boiler (119.5), while another pipe (119.7) can drive the light rays through a set of four mirrors (119.6) for orientation, in order to supply heat to another radiator (119.8) inside the building (119.1). Similarly, another pipe ( 19.1 I) can supply heat for cooking applications to the cooker (119.10). Another pipe (119.13) can use flat reflection mirrors (119.9) to drive the light rays to the required position, hence to supply heat to the electrical energy conversion unit (119.12). This system can simultaneously also supply heat to the energy storage fluid pipe (119.15), which supplies heat to the energy storage fluid tank's (119.14) contents.
All pipes (119.2, 119.3, 119.7, 119.11, 119.13) can be driven separately from each other, and onto the separate directions as required, as no fixed position is required for the technology concerned. All pipes (119.2, 119.3, 119.7, 119.11, 119.13) can supply the heat of the light rays simultaneously to the required applications on said building (119.1). Said light rays (119.19) project directly onto the lateral plane surface of the upper flat light ray collection heliostat (119.18). The computerised control system chooses in this case said upper mirror or heliostat (119.18) because the aim of said choice is to choose the required mirror or heliostat (119.18), which comprises the lowest inclination of said light rays comprised, according to the direction of projection and orientation of said light rays (119.19) from the sun. As said heliostat is comprised in the 90 degree orientation region of said mirror or heliostat (119.18), said light rays are driven towards said flat reflection minor or heliostat (119.18). Due to the inclined position of said mirror or heliostat (119.18), said light rays (119.19) are reflected and driven towards the lower flat light ray collection heliostat (119.16). Viewed from above, said upper flat light ray reflection heliostat (119.18) is inclined such that said light rays (119.19) reflect off at the planar surface of said mirror or heliostat (119.18), and are driven horizontally towards said lower flat light rays collection heliostat (119.16). Said flat mirror or heliostat (119.16) is comprised at a zero angle of orientation position in order to accurately reflect said light rays.
Said light rays are driven by said lower flat reflection mirror or heliostat (119.16) to the concave mirror (119.20), which is comprised under said upper flat light ray collection mirror or heliostat (119.18). Said concave mirror (119.20) drives and reflects said light rays (119.21), in a concentrated and coherent manner (119.21), to the light ray collection window (119.17). A convex mirror is comprised under the closed surface of the solar ray collection window (119.17). So, said light rays (119.21) will be driven through said window (119.17) to said convex mirror, which will in turn reflect said light rays, and drive the light rays (119.21) into the accurate direction towards the radiator heater (119.4) of the house (119.1), which is comprised in front of the system concerned. Said heater (119.4) supplies heat to the house (119.1) system concerned. The choice of the computerised control system aims at choosing the lowest inclination possible of said flat light collection heliostat (119.18) concerned, as the lowest is the inclination of said mirror or heliostat (119.18), the greater amount of light rays can be collected by the system, and hence, the greater will be the efficiency of the solar ray collection system concerned. So, in this case, the lower flat light collection heliostat (119.16) is positioned to collect the light rays driven by said flat light ray reflection heliostat (119.18), onto said lower flat light ray collection heliostat (119.16). Said lower flat heliostat (119.16) will in turn drive the light rays to said concave mirror (119.20), as required.
Opposite to said radiator heater (119.4), a light driving pipe (119.13) projects into the exact opposite way round, in order to supply heat to another system (119.12) of the house (119.1) concerned. So, as the light rays (119.23) from the sun project into the same direction of projection as said other light rays (119.19), said solar light rays (119.19, 119.23) project universally into the same direction of projection. So, in this case, the central computerised control system chooses the lower flat light collection heliostat (119.25) as the reflective source to collect and reflect the light rays (119.23) being projected by the sun into said system.
This is because in this case, said mirror or heliostat (119.25) will be the most convenient to reflect said light rays into a horizontal direction of projection, while keeping the angle between said mirror or heliostat (119.25) and the light rays (119.23) to a minimum, This will hence maximise the amount of light rays being driven horizontally by said mirror or heliostat (119.25), hence maximising the amount of light rays collected by said mirror or heliostat (119.25), and hence maximising the thermal energy generated and the efficiency of said solar ray collection system. So, said lower flat light collection heliostat (119.25) will reflect the light rays (119.23) from the sun, and drive these (119.23) into a horizontal direction of projection, to the concave mirror (119.27). Said concave mirror (119.27) is comprised in front of said lower flat light ray collection heliostat (119.25), but under said upper light ray collection heliostat (119.22). In this rase, as the solar light rays (119.23) are projected towards the lower flat light ray collection heliostat (119.25), said upper flat light ray collection heliostat (119.22) is inclined in exactly a perpendicular di] ettion to the direction onto which said solar light rays (119.23) project into. This will hence minimise the light rays being stopped by said upper mirror's or heliostat's (119.22) surface, hence minimising obstruction, and hence maximising the amount of light rays being collected by said lower flat light ray collection heliostat (119.25) in question.
So, with said upper mirror or heliostat (119.22) inclined properly, said system will maximise the amount of light rays being collected and reflected by said lower flat light collection heliostat (119.25) concerned. Said concave mirror (119.27) hence collects the light rays that are driven horizontally towards it by the frontally comprised lower flat light collection heliostat (119.25). Said concave mirror (119.27) reflects and drives said light rays (119.26), in a concentrated and coherent manner (119.26) towards said light ray collection window (119.24). Said window (119.24) is fully flat in order to avoid any light ray reflections when said light rays (119.26) are being driven towards said window (119.24). Any light ray (119.26) reflections will cause reflection errors occurring to said light rays (119.26) concerned. Said light rays (119.26) are driven across said window (119.24), to a convex mirror, which is comprised under the widow plane (119.24) of said light driving pipe (11Q13) concerned. Said system drives said light rays (119.26) through the window (119.24), where a convex minor is comprised under the window plane (119.24) of the system concerned. Said convex mirror will reflect and drive said light rays, coherently and in a concentrated state, into the required direction of projection, hence being driven into the direction of projection of said pipe (119.13) concerned. Said pipe (119.13) drives said light rays, by the means of flat reflection mirrors (119.9), to the reaching target position (119.12) concerned. At said position (119.12), said light rays can deliver the heat to the heat exchanger comprised inside said system (119.12) concerned.
So, said centralised control computer can orientate the mirrors or heliostats (119.16, 119.18, 119.22, 119.25) of the two opposite sides (119.16, 119.18, 119.22, 119.25) of the house (119.1) concerned, simultaneously, in order to allow all systems to be supplied with light (119.19, 119.23) simultaneously. Said system assures itself that all of said systems are supplied with the maximum amount of light rays (119.19, 119.23) possible into the two sides (119.16, 119.18, 119.22, 119.25) of the house (119.1) concerned simultaneously. So, the system chooses the lowest angle inclined mirrors or heliostats (119.18, 119.25) on the two sides at the same time, such that said mirrors or heliostats (119.16, 119.18, 119.22, 119.25) drive a maximum amount of light rays (119.19, 119.23) into the system concerned. Said light rays (119.19, 119.23) will then be reflected horizontally into the directions which are opposite to each other over said light driving pipes (119.2, 119.13), as said light driving pipes (119.2, 119.13) project opposite to each other. So, the light rays (119.21, 119.26) are driven into said light driving pipe windows (119.17, 119.24) simultaneously, such that said light rays (119.21, 119.26) will be driven simultaneously opposite to each other (119.21, 119.26), into said light driving pipes (119.2, 119.13), into the reaching positions of said pipes (119.2, 119.13) concerned. So, one pipe (119.2) drives its rays to the radiator (119.4) system, while on the other part of the house (119.1), the other oppositely projecting light driving pipe (119.13), drives the light rays (119.26) to the other heat demanding application (119.12) comprised on the other side of the house (119.1) concerned, which is in this case a heat exchanger system (119.12).
The control computerised system comprises the driving back pipe (119.15), driving said fluid to the energy fluid storage tank (119.14), after collecting the heat from said application (119.12) comprised on the other side of the house concerned (119.1).
The upper mirrors or heliostats (120.1) of said solar light ray collection and concentration system, are positioned perpendicularly to the direction of projection of the incoming light rays if these are collected by the lower flat mirror or heliostat (120.2). This system design maximises the efficiency of light collection of said lower mirror or heliostat (120.2). Either mirrors (or heliostats) (120.1, 120.2) of each system comprise the same dimensions, and hence the same width and height, as these mirrors or heliostats (120.1, 120.2) should correspond geometrically together to maximise light collection efficiency. Said lower mirror or heliostat (120.2) is positioned such that it (120.2) is always comprised above the height of the sustaining bars (120.3) that are comprised at both sides. This allows a side viewer to see said lower mirrors or heliostat (120.2) entirely from the side, even if said mirrors or heliostats (120.2) are inclined at a maximum perpendicularly to the ground floor (120.4). Said system is comprised like this, even when said lower mirrors or heliostats (120.2) are inclined at a maximum perpendicularly to the ground floor's (120.4) surface. This system design is such that the efficiency of the light rays' collection is maximised by said lower flat mirrors or heliostats (120.2). The light ray heat is supplied to a heat exchanger (120.5), which can supply the storage and primary circuit pipes simultaneously with heat.
If the lower mirrors or heliostats (121.1) collect initially the light rays (121.5) from the sun, said lower mirrors or heliostats (121.1) can be inclined sideways, as is necessary to collect and reflect said light rays (121.5) with maximum efficiency. In this case, the upper mirrors or heliostats (121.6) are inclined perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light rays (121.5). This maximises light ray collection by said lower mirrors or heliostats (121.1), as no obstacles are present in the pathway of said solar light rays (121.5). This maximises system operational efficiency. Said lower mirrors or heliostat (121.1) drive said light rays (121.3) horizontally towards said concave mirror (121.2) for accurate light ray concentration.
Said upper mirrors or heliostats (121.6) are constantly maintained in an upward position by the vertical members (121.4) which sustain each of these (121.6).
If the light rays (122.1) are projected towards another direction, such that it is the upper mirrors or heliostats (122.2) which collect and reflect these (122.1), said upper mirrors or heliostats (122.2) are inclined sideways as required in order to efficiently collect and reflect said light rays (122.1). So, in this case, said upper mirrors or heliostats (122.2) drive the light rays (122.3) coherently downwards towards the lower flat mirror or heliostat (122.4). Said lower flat mirror or heliostat (122.4) is titled in order to reflect the incoming light rays (122.3) towards a coherent horizontal direction (122.5) towards said concave mirror (122.6).
The lower mirror or heliostat (122.4) is tilted (122.4) in order to efficiently accomplish said light ray reflection, but is (122.4) never inclined sideways in any sort, as no sideways inclination from said lower mirror or heliostat (122.4) is required in this case. So, for each light collection system (122.2, 122.4, 122.6), always only one of the light collection mirrors or heliostats (122.1, 122.4) is inclined sideways, but never both (122.1, 122.4) simultaneously. Said light rays (122.5) are driven horizontally and coherently towards the concave mirror (122.6) by said lower mirror or heliostat (122.4) for efficient light ray concentration.
Earth light ray collection and concentration system (122.2, 122.4, 122.6) operates independently of the others, such that each light collection mirror or heliostat (122.2, 122.4) can be inclined at the required angle according to the directions of projection of the light rays (122.1) from the sun towards said mirrors or heliostats (122.2, 122.4). This depends entirely on the position on which said mirrors or heliostats (122.2, 122.4) are oriented for each light collection and concentration system (122.4, 122.4, 122.6), separately from the others.
The solar ray collection and concentration system (123.5, 123.6, 123.7) can be comprised as a plurality of sets of light collection, on the roof (123.9) of a car park. So, the roof (123.9) is sustained by vertical pillars (123.11) to the ground floor (123.12). On said ground floor (123.12), the cars (123.10) are being parked. Said vehicles (123.10) can be any, from buses to trucks, lorries or coaches, with even platforms around said sustaining pillars (123.11). The heat exchanger (123.8) can transfer heat simultaneously to the energy storage fluid pipe which supplies heat to the energy storage fluid tank (123.16), as well as the primary circuit, which drives a steam turbine (123.14). Said steam turbine (123.14) in turn drives a generator (123.15) which generates electrical power. Said steam turbine (123.14), generator (123.15) and energy storage fluid tank (123.16), can all be comprised inside a sustaining pillar (123.13), which sustains the roof structure (123.9) on the ground floor (123.12) in order to minimise the space used and to hence maximise system installation efficiency.
The vertical masts (123.1) sustain the sustaining side pillars (123.2) on the roof floor (123.9). The vertical sustaining members (123.4) attach to said sustaining bars (123.2), and hence sustain said light driving pipe (123.3) in its required position. The lower mirror (123.5) in this case collects the light rays, such that the upper mirror (123.7) is comprised perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light rays. So, the light rays are driven by said lower flat mirror (123.5) to the concave mirror (123.6) for light concentration, with the maximum light collection and reflection efficiencies. The vehicles (123.10) comprised under said roof structure (123.9) can also be busses, hence making a bus station architecture. Said station can also comprise platforms around said sustaining vertical pillars (123.11). The roof structure (123.9) projects horizontally.
The sustaining vertical pillars (124.1) can also sustain the sustaining bars (124.2) which in turn sustain the light driving pipe (124.3) by vertical sustaining members (124.4), to the top of the roof (124.9) of a bus stop or bus station (124.10). So, a plurality of light collection and concentration systems (124.5, 124.6, 124.7) can be comprised over the roof structure (124.9) of said bus station or bus stop (124.10). The heat exchanger (124.8) transfers simultaneously the heat of the light rays to the energy storage fluid tank (124.17) by the energy storage fluid pipe (124.8). Simultaneously, the heat exchanger (124.8) also supplies heat to a fluid which drives a steam turbine (124.15). Said steam turbine (124.15) drives in tuna generator (124.16) to generate electrical output. Said energy storage fluid tank (124.17), steam turbine (124.15) and generator (124.16) can be comprised inside a vertical sustaining member (124.14) to minimise the horizontal space or surface area used. The heat exchanger (124.8) houses both pipes in its cross-sectional design.
The roof structure (124.9) is horizontally projecting, and is sustained by vertical pillars (124.13) to the ground floor (124.12). A boarding or unloading platform (124.10) can be comprised to serve the stopping buses (124.11) without affecting the functionality of the system (124.5, 124.6, 124.7) at all.
The roof floor structure (125.14) concerned can also be used to sustain said solar ray light collection and concentration system (125.6, 125.7, 125.8) over a train (125.15) stop or station (125.16), hence minimising the floor space used for said systems, particularly in densely populated urban areas. So, the roof floor structure (125.15) concerned can project horizontally such that it can be sustained by vertical pillars (12512) to the ground floor (125.10) under. The boarding platform (125.16) to serve the trains (125.15) can be comprises around the lower part of said sustaining pillars (12112), hence maximising space utilisation. The pantograph (125.13) of the train (125.15) can collect current from a catenary (125.4) which is sustained by columns (125.11), without affecting the power generation system (125.6, 125.7, 125.8). The trains (125.15) can roll on the rail tracks (125.10) as required. So, this system offers a solution to maximise space utilisation, and to hence minimise system installation costs, by using the roof as a flat surface to use said system. Thus minimises a lot of costs, especially in very densely populated areas.
The light driving pipe (125.3) is sustained by vertical members (125.5)10 the sideways sustaining bars (125.2), which are in turn sustained by vertical members (125.1)10 the surface floor (125.14) of the floor structure (125.14). The upper (125.7) and lower (125.6) flat mirrors collect and/or reflect the light rays, to drive these towards the concave mirrors (125.8) in each solar light ray collection and concentration system (125.6, 125.7, 125.8). The heat exchanger (125.9) drives the steam turbine (125.18) and supplies heat to the energy storage fluid tank (125.20) simultaneously. Sais steam turbine (125.18) drives a generator (12119) in turn to generate electrical power. All of said steam turbine (12518, generator (125.19) and energy storage fluid tank (125.20) can all be stored inside a vertical sustaining member (125.17), hence maximising floor space utilisation. Both fluid pipes (125.9) are comprised into said heat exchanger (125.9), in order for said passing fluids, to collect said light rays heat.
The light driving pipe (126.1) can also transfer the light rays, onto a coherent and concentrated manner, through the final light driving pipe (126.2), towards a flat reflection mirror (126.5). Said mirror (126.5) is inclined in order to drive the light rays upwards towards the heating pot (126.6) of a cooker. So, said mirror (126.5) should preferably be inclined at an angle of 45 degrees for said application, hence minimising the space used. So, said cooking pot (126.6) receives all the heat of the light rays. This can be used to cook quickly and efficiently any cooking pan (126.3) with a similar efficiency to an electrical heater or cooker, or even faster.
Said cooking pan (126.3) can hence cook food even faster than an electrical cooker. However, this depends on the number of light collection and concentration systems comprised into said system. So, if more than the electrical energy supplied by an electrical heater is supplied by said light collection and concentration systems, said cooker (126.6) can cook things faster than an electrical heater. However if not enough solar light ray collection and concentration systems are present, said cooker (126.6) will take longer to reach the required temperatures on the cooking pan (126.3) concerned than with an electrical heater. Said mirror (126.5) and cooker (126.6), are all sustained by a sustaining member (126.4) over the ground floor surface.
The solar ray collection and concentration system can be comprised over the upper surface (127.4) of a floating vessel (127.11). The vertical members (127.1) sustain the sustaining bars (127.2) over the floor surface (127.4) of said floating vessel (127.11). The vertical members (127.5) sustain said light driving pipe (127.3) to said sustaining horizontally projecting bars (127.2). The final light driving pipe (127.6) drives the concentrated light rays to the heat exchanger (127.8).
In said heat exchanger (127.8), the light rays' heat is transferred simultaneously to the energy storage fluid pipe (127.9) and the primary circuit fluid pipe (127.7) Said floating vessel (127.11) is comprised floating over the water (127.10) of a basin, lake, sea or river. Said water (127.10) can be salted or unsalted. The floating vessel (127.11) is sustained by rigid members (127.13) to the basin floor (127.12). Alternatively, said floating vessel (127.11) can be sustained by rigid vertical members (127.14) which are sustained to rigid pods (127.15) comprised attached to the bed (127.12) of the water channel. Alternatively, said floating vessel can be comprised of both rigid members (127.13) and sustaining ropes (127.14) attached to pods (127.15) on the bed. The sustaining rigid members should preferably be made of steel.
Said sustaining ropes (127.14) should preferably be made of steel, and can sustain said vessel (127.11), such that any waves will not make it move due to the high floating buoyancy present. This can be done by attaching the ropes (127.14) to the pods (127.15) on the sea bed, and then emptying the vessel (127.11) to achieve the maximum buoyancy. This should minimise vessel oscillations due to waves or winds. Rigid sustaining members (127.13) might still be the best option, as no movement should be monitored on the vessel (127.11) at any time. My movements will minimise the accuracy of the reflected light rays, and would therefore reduce the system's efficiency drastically.
The vertical members (128.2) sustain the light driving pipes (128.3) to the sideways projecting sustaining bars (128.1), which project in the same direction as said light driving pipe (128.3). Said sustaining members (128.2) connect both side bars (128.1) and said light driving pipe (128.3). The light rays of a plurality of lateral concentration systems, can be driven by pipe (128.4) to the light concentration station (128.6). Said light concentration station (128.6) comprises a plurality of pipes (128.5) driving light rays towards a Plano concave mirror (128.7). Said pipes (128.5) also include the light driving pipe (128.10) of the side viewed power generation system (128.1). Said Plano concave mirror (128.7) reflects the light rays of all pipes (128.5, 128.10), which drive these coherently in parallel to each other, towards said Plano concave mirror (128.7). So, said Plano concave mirror (128.7) focuses the light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (128.11).
Said Plano convex mirror (128.11) then drives the light rays to the required height by the means of a set of flat reflection mirrors (128.12, 128.13), which should preferably be inclined at 45 degrees each. So, the first mirror (128.13) drives the light rays upwards, until these are finally reflected by another flat mirror (128.12) when said light rays reach the required height Said last mirror (128.12) drives said light rays horizontally. So, said light driving pipe (128.8) can be driven into another light concentration station (128.6). There, the same process is repeated. A plurality of other pipes, including the pipe (128.8) concerned, drive the light rays towards a Plano concave mirror (128.9). Said Plano concave mirror (128.9) then concentrates the light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (128.14). Said process can hence be repeated into a plurality of times, and the number of times can be as repetitive as required. However, the greater the times of repetitions, the lower is the intensity and density of the light rays of the initial light concentration station (128.6).
Said Plano convex mirror (128.14) drives the light rays towards the heat exchanger (128.15), where the heat of said light rays are transferred to the pipes for electrical power generation as well as heat energy storage.
A plurality of pipes (129.2, 129.7, 129.12), can drive light rays towards a Plano concave mirror (129.11). Said Plano concave mirror (129.11) then concentrates said light rays towards a Plano convex mirror (129.13). Said Plano convex mirror (129.13) then drives concentrated light rays (129.3) through a light driving pipe (129.4) towards a heat exchanger (129.5). Said heat exchanger (129.5) comprises both energy storage fluid pipe (129.14) and primary circuit fluid pipe (129.19) embedded into it (129.5). So, both pipes are supplied with heat simultaneously.
The primary circuit fluid pipe (129.19) comprises a pump (129.6) which drives said fluid into the heat exchanger (129.5) for heat collection. Then, said fluid drives a steam turbine (129.17), before continuing to the initial starting point. Said steam turbine (129.17) drives in tam a generator (129.18) to generate electrical power. Said fluid driving pipe (129.20) continues back to the initial position (129.19). Said energy storage fluid pipe (129.14) comprises a pump (129.15), which drives the fluid through the heat exchanger (129.5). After collecting the heat, said fluid is driven back to the energy storage fluid tank (129.16).
Sets of flat reflection mirrors (129.1, 129.10) drove the light rays accurately and coherently in parallel to each other towards said Plano concave mirror(s) (129.11). Weather said pipe curve is of 90 degrees (129.1) or at around 45 degrees (129.10), single flat mirrors (129.1, 129.10) can be used for light reflection and orientation around said pipes (129.2, 129.12). Sets of four flat mirrors (129.9, 129.8) can be used if the required curve of the pipe (129.7) is of less than 45 degrees. So, the initial flat mirror (129.9) drives the light rays perpendicularly. The last flat minor (129.8) then drives the light rays into the required direction of projection, in other words, towards the Plano concave minor (129.11) for light concentration.
The light ray collection and concentration systems can comprise a light driving pipe (130.1) which drives said light rays towards a flat reflection mirror (130.5). The use of a single flat reflection mirror (130.5) should be used if the change in direction of the light rays is of 45 degrees in angle or more. So, the light rays are driven into the light driving pipe (130.2) upwards until reaching the Plano concave or concave mirror (130.6). Said Plano concave or concave mirror (130.6) concentrates the light rays into a Plano convex or convex mirror (130.8). The Plano convex or convex mirror (130.8) drives the light rays coherently in the direction of the light driving pipe (130.2), until reaching the flat reflection mirror (130.7). Said mirror (130.7) is used to adjust the position of said light rays. So, after being reflected again by another flat reflection mirror, said light rays are driven up into the light driving pipe (130.2), coherently with the direction of projection of said pipe (130.2).
The light driving pipe (130.2) is sustained by the sustaining bars (130.4), which sustain these by the sustaining members (130.3). Hence, said light driving pipe (130.2) is sustained over the ground floor structure (130.9). So, a flat reflection mirror can then drive said light rays onto the same light driving pipe (130.10), horizontally at a higher point of projection. The light driving pipe (130.2, 130.11) is sustained over the ground floor surface (130.9, 130.12) without touching the ground floor surface. So, the light rays can then be driven to a lower point (130.13) as required by said flat mirrors, where said light rays would again reject horizontally, coherently with the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (130.13).
The light driving pipe (131.1) can also drive the light rays towards a flat mirror (131.12) which drives the light rays towards another flat mirror (131.2). Said flat mirror (131.2) should be at the required distance from the other mirror (131.9), as all light rays should then be driven by said flat mirror (131.2) towards said last mirror (131.9). This might prove to be a disadvantageous design situation, but the advantage is that the number of mirrors (131.12, 131.2, 131.9) is of three instead of four, hence maximising light driving efficiency by minimising losses. So, said initial flat mirror (131.12) drives the light rays perpendicularly towards the upper flat mirror (131.2). Said upper flat mirror (131.2) then drives the light rays sideways towards the least flat mirror (131.9). Said last flat mirror (131.9) then drives the light rays towards the concave or Plano concave minor (131.3), which concentrates said light rays towards a convex or Plano convex minor (131.8).
The use of the convex or Plano convex (131.8) and the concave or Plano concave (131.3) minors on any upwards or downwards projecting pipes (131.4), saves space in the piping system, hence maximising the space utilized to install the maximum number of light collection and concentration systems. The light driving pipe (131.4) can also drive light rays to a flat minor (131.5) which drives the light rays downwards towards another flat mirror (131.11). Said flat mirror (131.11) then drives the light rays upwards again to another flat mirror (131.6). Said last flat minor (131.6) can hence drive said light rays coherently and horizontally, along the light driving pipe (131.13) at said new upper projection point. The disadvantage is that a low enough distance is needed between said upper light driving pipe (131.4) and said lower flat mirror (131.11). However, if the ground floor (131.7) is kept low enough, the advantage of this design is that the number of mirrors used is lower, hence minimising losses and maximising light concentration efficiency. Said lower mirror (131.11) should be far enough, EIS the mirror 9131.11) should reflect the entire light that is sent to it (131.11) by said upper mirror (131.5), hence requiring some space. The light driving pipe (131.14) is always sustained over the ground floor surface (131.15). Any lower point (131.16) of projection is possible and achievable.
The light driving pipe (132.1) drives the concentrated light rays towards a flat reflection mirror (132.14), which drives said light rays upwards to another flat mirror (132.2), such that said flat mirror (132.2) reflects said light rays and drives these to a final flat reflection mirror (132.15). So, said final flat reflection mirror (132.15) drives said light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (132.3). Said system is hence, as preferably, using sets of three mirrors (132.14, 132.2, 132.15) for light ray driving and projection. lithe space from the ground floor surface (132.16) is available, it is a better system to use than sets of four mirrors as less mirrors are needed, hence minimising losses and hence maximising light driving efficiency of the system.
The ground floor (132.16) is inclined such that said upper first flat reflection mirror (132.4) can drive the light rays of the light driving pipe (132.3) perpendicularly to the lower flat reflection mirror (132.17). So, said lower flat reflection mirror (132.17) drives the light rays upwards towards the final flat reflection mirror (132.5), which finally drives said light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (132.18) at said upper point of projection (132.18). The sustaining bars (132.6) attach to the vertical sustaining members (132.11), which sustain said light driving pipe (132.18) over the ground floor surface. Said design is better, as minimal contact with the ground floor maximises environmental space and minimises environmental damage.
The light ray can be driven coherently through said light driving pipe (13/18) to an initial flat reflection mirror (132.7), which drives the light rays to a set of flat reflection mirrors (132.19, 132.20). Said mirrors (132.19, 132.20) project such that the last minor (132.20) drives the light rays to a flat reflection mirror (132.8), which then drives the light rays coherently through the downward projecting light driving pipe (132.26). In this design case, a set of four flat mirrors (132.7, 132.19, 132.20, 132.8) is needed, as the change in direction of the light rays has an angle of less than 45 degrees. The concave or Plano concave mirrors (132.9) concentrate the light rays to the convex or Plano convex mirrors (132.21), hence concentrating the light rays further. If a concave mirror is used (132.9), a convex mirror (132.21) should be used to drive said light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (132.26). This means that if a Plano concave mirror (132.9) is used, a Plano convex mirror (132.21) should hence be used to drive the light rays coherently through said light driving pipe (132.26). Said system can be comprised into said downward projecting pipe (132.26) in order to maximise the space utilisation to insert light collection and concentration systems.
A set of two flat reflection mirrors (132.22, 132.10) adjust the position of projection of the light rays to the required point of projection across the light driving pipe (132.26). Said last mirror (132.10) is positioned such that the required position of projection is achieved. Another set of four flat mirrors (132.24, 132.12, 132.13, 132.25) is comprised in order to drive said light rays back horizontally and coherently through the lower light driving pipe (132.27), which is the then new point of projection of said light rays (132.27). So, the first mirror (132.24) collects the light rays and drives these to a set of two flat reflection mirrors (132.12, 132A3), which are positioned such that the last mirror (132.13) drives the light rays down to the last flat reflection mirror (132.25). Said last flat mirror (132.25) then drives said light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (132.27). Said systems are always comprised over the ground floor surface (132.23), as this minimises system installation costs.
The light driving pipe (133.1) can comprises sets of four mirrors (134.16, 134.2, 134.3, 134.17, 134.6, 134.21 134 22 134.5) in order to drive the light rays to another point of projection (133.7). So, the first flat mirror (133.15) can drive the light rays to a set of two flat mirrors (133.2, 133.3), such that the last mirror (133.3) droves the light rays towards a last flat reflection mirror (133.16) that drives the light rays coherently through the light driving pipe upwards. A concave mirror (133.4) can be comprised to concentrate the light rays towards a convex mirror (133.18). Said convex mirror (133.18) drives the light rays to a flat reflection mirror (133.19), which adjusts the position of projection of said light rays by working with another upper flat reflection mirror. The sustaining bars are sustained by vertical members to the ground floor surface (133.17), which hence sustain said light driving pipe (133.20), which can also be directly sustained by vertical members to said ground floor surface (133.17).
The initial flat mirror (133.5) can drive the light rays of a set of flat mirrors (133.21, 13122), such that the last mirror (133.22) drives the light rays to the final flat mirror (133.6), which drives said light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (133.7). So, said light rays are driven through said light driving pipe (133.8) until a flat mirror (133.9) drives these downwards again. Said sustaining bars (133.11) sustain said vertical members (133.10) that sustain said light driving pipe over the ground floor surface (133.25). The concave minor (133.12) can also be present into said downward light driving pipe (133.14), in order to maximise space utilisation of the flat surfaces. So, the concave mirror (133.12) concentrates the light rays to the convex mirror (133.23), which drives said rays to a flat reflection mirror (133.24). Said minor (133.24) drives said light rays to a last flat mirror (133.13) that is supported to the concave mirror (13312). Said minor (133.13) drives the light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (133.14) until reaching the flat reflection mirror (133.26), which drives said rays horizontally and coherently through the light driving pipe (133.27).
The light driving pipe (134.1) can comprise the same system of four flat reflection mirrors (134.16, 134.2, 134.3, 134.17, 134.6, 134.21, 134.22, 134.5) as previously explained, with said concave (134.4) and convex (134.18) mirrors concentrating the light rays into said light driving pipe (134.20). So a flat reflection mirror (134.19) can drive the light rays to an adjusted position along said light driving pipe (134.20). So, said light driving pipe (134.7) can drive the light rays coherently through said pipe (134.8) after being driven by said final upper flat mirror (134.5).
A flat reflection mirror (134.9) can drive the light rays down to another flat mirror (134.23), which in turn drives said light rays to another flat reflection mirror (134.11). Said mirror (134.11) drives the light rays through the light driving pipe (134.15). The light driving pipe (134.15) is sustained by the vertical members (134.10) which sustain said pipe to the sustaining bars (134_12), which sustain these over the ground floor surface (134.27). The last mirror (134.11) drives the light rays down to the concave mirror (134.13), which concentrates said rays to the convex minor (134.25). Said convex mirror (134.25) drives said light rays to a flat reflection mirror (134.26), which drives the light rays to the required upwards position before being driven by the last flat minor (134.14) coherently through the light driving pipe (134.15). On the lower end of said pipe (134.15), a flat reflection mirror (134.28) drives said light rays to another flat mirror horizontally, which then drives said rays vertically to a last flat reflection mirror (134.29). Said last flat reflection mirror (134.29) drives said light rays coherently and horizontally through the lower light driving pipe (134.30), hence projecting through said lower pipe (134.31) at a coherent, horizontal and straight manner.
So, sets of three mirrors (134.9, 134.23, 134.11, 134.28, 134.29) can be used. However the disadvantage of the design is that the last upper (134.11) and first lower (134.28) reflection mirrors are positioned catching the light rays very dimly. This might increase the difficulty of the design comprised. However, sets of three minors minimise light ray losses, as less mirrors are present, and hence maximise the efficiency of light ray driving of the system. If the ground floor surface (134.27) does not leave enough space for light driving, this architecture of three flat reflection mirror designs, can also be used to drive the light rays into the required paths, without needing to dig onto the ground floor surface (134.27). This would increase system installation costs.
The light driving pipe (135.1) is sustained to said sustaining bars (135.3) by said sustaining members (135.2), which attach to both (135.1, 135.3) simultaneously. The lower flat light collection mirror (135.4) is sustained always above the height of the sustaining bars (135.3), such that the lower area (135.8) of said mirrors (135.4) is always exposed to the sunlight, even at the lowest angles of inclination. This is designed to maximise light rays collection, and hence maximise the light collection efficiency of said lower flat light ray collection mirrors (135.4). Said upper mirrors (135.5) can drive said light rays to the lower flat mirrors (135.4) if the light rays from the sun are projected from another direction. Said lower flat mirror (135.4) then drives these light rays directly to the concave mirror (135.6) for efficient light concentration. The lower flat mirrors (135.4) are comprised, such that the lower areas (135.8) are always visible above the height of the lateral sustaining bars (135.3). The dimensions of both upper (135.5) and lower (135.3) flat mirrors are identical, as said design should coincide with each other. The lower flat mirrors (135.4) are sustained by the sustaining pivots (135.7), which keep the lowest areas (135.8) of said mirrors (135.4) above the height of the sustaining bars (1353), even at the shallowest angles of inclination.
The sustaining bars (136.1) sustain the light ray driving pipe (136.9) above the ground floor surface (136.6). The lower flat mirrors (136.3) are always comprised over the surface of the sustaining bars (136.1), hence maximising the solar ray collection and projection of said lower mu (136.3). Said lower mirrors (136.3) are sustained by the mid sustaining rotary pivot (136.2), around which said mirrors (136.3) can be rotated and oriented. Said lower minor (136.7) is always fully comprised over the height of the sustaining bars (136.1), even at a lower point of projection. The minor (136.7) can be rotated with said light driving pipe (136.8) behind, as it has a very low cross sectional diameter. The member (136.4) comprised in front of said concave mirrors (136.5) assists said mirror (136.5) in avoiding any falling water on it from rain, hence maximising light concentration accuracy and efficiency.
Similarly, the sustaining bars (137.1) sustain said system over the ground floor surface (137.6). If said ground floor surface (137.6) is uneven, the lower mirrors (137.3, 137.7) are comprised always above said bars (137.1), even at unequal points of projection, which can be over or under the initial projection point, in order to maximise the solar light ray collection efficiency of said minors (137.3, 137.7). The rotary pivot (137.2) is comprised on the mid area of the mirrors (137.3, 137.7), in order to minimise the energy used to exert a rotational movement to said minors (137.3, 137.7). The upper members (137.4) minimise the rain drops deposited on said concave mirror (137.5), hence projecting it from the rain. The lower mirrors (137.7) can be rotated at 45 degrees, as the low cross sectional diameter of said light driving pipe (137.8) comprised behind said mirror (137.7), allows it. The light driving pipe (137.9) drives the concentrated light rays onto the required direction, coherently and fully protected from the outer world.
The light driving pipes (138.1, 138.7) can project at a plurality of directions, fully independently from each other. So, each light driving pipe (138.1, 138.7) can drive concentrated light rays to the final light driving pipe (138.2, 138.6). Said light driving pipes (138.2, 138.6) can each supply separately and independently, light ray heat for an application (138.3, 138.5) on a building (138.4). So, the left application can be the water boiler (138.3) which needs heat to heat the water, while the right application can be the cooking unit (138.5) which needs heat to heat the cooking pans. So, each side of the building (138.4) can comprise light driving pipes (138.1, 138.7) which project towards the walls of said building (138.4), for heat supply use in a plurality of applications (138.3, 138.5) on said building (138.4).
Similarly, said light driving pipes (139.1, 139.7) can each drive separately light rays through the final light driving pipes (139.2, 139.6). So, said pipes (139.2, 139.6) can hence each supply light ray heat separately to an application of the building (139.4). The left application can be a radiator (139.3) which needs heat to heat the room concerned, while the right application can be the electrical power generation unit. So, said building (139.4) can comprise pluralities of light driving pipes (139.1, 139.7) to fulfil the needs of the household without the need of an external power source.
The light driving pipe (140.1) on the left side, can drive the light rays up to the top of the roof (140.9) of a building (140.10) by the means of sets of flat reflection mirrors (140.5, 140.15), while the right hand side light driving pipe (140.12) can supply heat to a radiator (140.16) inside said building by driving said light rays through the final light driving pipe (140.11). So, one light driving pipe (140.12) can supply heat to a radiator (140.16) on one side, while the other light driving pipe (140.1) can use the surface (140.9) of the building's (140.10) roof to use it as a horizontal surface (140.9) for light ray driving pipe (140.6) and solar ray concentration system space. So, said space (140.9) can be used to insert said light driving pipe (140.6) over it. This maximises space utilisation for light collection and concentration without using the external surface comprised around said building (140.10) itself. So, said light driving pipe (140.4) drives the light rays along the walls of the building (140.10) into a vertical direction, until reaching the horizontal surface (140.9) of the building's (140.10) roof (140.9).
The initial flat reflection mirror (140.15) drives the light rays coherently upwards through the light driving pipe (140.4), until said rays reach a downwards facing concave or Plano concave mirror (140.2). Said downward projecting concave or Plano concave mirror (140.2) concentrates the light rays towards an upwards facing convex or Plano convex mirror (140.14). Said upward facing convex or Plano concave mirror (140.14) drives the light rays to a flat reflection minor (140.13). Said rays are hence driven perpendicularly to the direction of projection of the light driving pipe (140.4) by said flat mirror (140.13). When said light rays reach the required point of projection into said light driving pipe (140.4), another flat reflection mirror (140.3) drives said light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (140.4). Said concentrated light rays are then reflected back onto a horizontal direction of projection by another flat reflection mirror (140.5). So, said light rays can then project coherently and horizontally through the light driving pipe (140.6) of the system above the roof surface (140.9) of the building concerned (140.10). The light rays can be driven through the final light driving pipe (140.7) to the heat exchanger (140.8) for efficient electrical energy generation.
The set of flat reflection minors (140.3, 140.13) is used to cover the position of projection of said light rays as required, such that after being driven by the last flat reflection mirror (140.3), said light rays can be driven coherently through the light driving pipe (140.4) upwards until reaching the upper flat reflection mirror (140.5). Said upper flat mirror (140.5) drives said light rays back onto a horizontal direction into the upper light driving pipe (140.6) Said flat reflection mirrors (140.5, 140.15) should preferably be inclined at 45 degrees for efficient and coherent light ray driving if required. The positioning of said concave or Plano concave mirror (140.3) and said Plano convex or convex minor (140.14) into the light driving pipe, maximises the space on the horizontal areas (140.1, 140.6) of the light driving pipe (140.1, 140.6) to insert light concentration and collection systems.
The light driving pipe (141.1) can also comprise a flat reflection minor (141.15) that drives said light rays vertically upwards towards the concave or Plano concave mirrors (141.2). Said mirror (141.2) in turn concentrates the light rays towards the convex or Plano convex minor (141.16). The mirror (141.16) then drives said light rays towards a flat reflection minor (141.17), which drives the light rays perpendicularly to the light driving pipe's (141.4) direction of projection. When said light rays reach the required point of projection, another flat reflection minor (141.3) reflects these light rays back vertically upwards, hence driving said light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (141.4) upwards. Another flat mirror (141.5) can then drive the light rays through the light driving pipe (141.6). Said pipe (141.6) is comprised over the horizontal surface (141.18) of the roof (141.18) of the building concerned (141.10). This minimises the space required around said building (141.10) for system installation, hence maximising system efficiency per unit of area. This design also profits of the area comprised on the roof (141.18) of said building (141.10), hence minimising costs, The vertical members (141.7) sustain said light driving pipe (141.6) over the floor surface (141.18) of the building (141.10). Said members (141.7) sustain the sustaining bars (141.9) into position, which in turn sustain the light driving pipe (141.6) over the roof surface (141.18) by the means of the sustaining members (141.8), to which both the light driving pipe (141.6) and the horizontal sustaining bars (141.9) are attached to. Another flat mirror (141.11) then drives the light rays back downwards through the light driving pipe (141.12). On the vertical downward light driving pipe (141.12), the concave or Plano concave minor (141.13) and the convex or Plano convex mirror (141.19) can also be comprised. This design maximises horizontal space utilisation for light concentration system installation.
So, the concave or Plano concave mirror (141.13) concentrates the light rays of the light driving pipe (141.12), towards said convex or Plano convex mirror (141.19). Said light rays are then driven by said convex or Plano convex minor (141.19) further vertically downwards to a flat reflection mirror (141.20). Said mirror (141.20) drives said light rays perpendicularly to the direction of projection of the light driving pipe (141.12) until reaching the required point of projection. At said point, another flat mirror (141.14) drives said light drays back vertically downwards, coherently with the direction of projection of the light driving pipe (141.12). A last flat mirror (141.21) then drives the light rays back horizontally through the light driving pipe (141.22) comprised down and besides said building (141.10).
The last flat reflection minor (141.14) can be comprised sustained to the concave or Plano concave mirror (141.13). This saves space and maximises design compactness, hence maximising design efficiency. Only a Plano concave mirror (141.2, 141.13) can be present if a Plano convex mirror (141.16, 141.19) is present in front of it (141.2, 141.13). Otherwise, concave minors (141.2, 141.13) have to be paired with convex mirrors (141.16, 141.19) in front of these (141.2, 141.13). This assures that said light rays will be driven in the required direction, and coherently to the direction of projection of said light driving pipes (141.4, 141.12) after being driven by said convex or Plano convex mirrors (141.16, 141.19).
The flat reflection mirrors concerned (140.15, 140.13, 140.3, 140.5, 141.15, 141.17, 141.3, 141.5, 141.11, 141.20, 141.14, 141.21) should preferably be inclined at 45 degrees to the direction of projection of the light driving pipes (140.1, 140.4, 141.1, 141.4, 141.6, 141.12), which are the pipes (140.1, 140.4, 141.1, 141.4, 141.6, 14L12) from which said light rays initially project towards said flat reflection mirrors (140.15, 140.13, 140.3, 140.5, 141.15, 141.17, 141.3, 141.5, 141.11, 141.20, 141.14, 141.21). So, said flat mirrors (140.15, 140.13, 140.3, 140.5, 141.15, 141.17, 141.3, 141.5, 141.11,141.20, 141.14,141.21) should preferably be tilted at 45 degrees, such that these (140.15, 140.13, 140.3, 140.5, 141.15, 141.17, 141.3, 141.5, 141.11, 141.20, 141.14, 141.21) project at 45 degrees perpendicularly to the initial direction of projection of said light rays concerned.
The light ray driving pipes (142.1) can be equipped with sets of three mirrors (142.8, 142.9, 142.2) for light ray driving, even if the changes in the direction of the light ray projection are of less than 45 degrees. If space is available, said combination of three flat mirrors (142.8, 142.9, 142.2) is better than that of four, as the design reduces the number of mirrors, reduces the light rays absorbed by said mirrors, and hence maximises light ray driving efficiency. The initial flat mirror (142.8) drives the light rays perpendicularly to the original direction of projection, towards the other flat minor (142.9). Said flat mirror (142.9) then finally drives said light rays towards the last flat mirror (142.2), which drives said light rays onto the required direction of projection. If enough horizontal space is available at the side of said light driving pipes (142.1, 142.10), said sets of three mirrors are a more recommendable design to use.
The light rays driving pipe (142.4) is comprised, such that the inner volume (142.10) houses the driving of said light rays. Said light rays are driven coherently through the light driving pipe (142.10) until reaching the initial flat mirror (142.3), which drives said light rays perpendicularly to the original coherent direction of projection of said light driving pipe (142.10). Said mirror (142.3) drives said light rays towards the flat minor (142.6) comprised at the end of said compartment (142.7). Said flat mirror (142.6) then drives said light rays to the final flat reflection mirror (142.5), which drives said light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (142.10). Even if the changes in direction are of less than 45 degrees for said light rays, said system can be useful if the necessary space is available for the system compartment (142.7). A compartment (142.7) is used to keep said light driving pipe (142.4, 142.7) closed to the outer world, but also to house the mirror (142.6), as all light rays should be reflected and driven by said flat reflection minor (142.6).
The compartments (142.7) are part of the light ray driving pipe (142.4) as a structure, and are used to keep all required mirrors (142.3, 142.6, 142.5) in the required structural position at all times, with the distances between said mirrors (142.3, 142.6, 142.5) comprised as is required. If enough space is available for said compartments (142.7) to be comprised at any point of light ray reflection or driving, this could maximise the light ray driving efficiencies of the system. Said compartments (142.7) should preferably be in a horizontal position of projection, and are always part of the single light driving pipe (142.1, 142.10) designs concerned.
The sustaining bars (143.1, 143.13, 143.18, 143.20) can drive the light driving pipes (143.8, 143.3, 143.17, 143.23) sustained by said bars (143.1, 143.13, 143.18, 143.20) onto different direction compared to the main light driving pipe's (143.5) direction of projection, which projects in parallel to the direction of projection of said sustaining bars (143.16). So, a main light driving pipe (143.5) can be comprised with all light driving pipes (143.10, 143.3, 143.17, 143.23) driving the concentrated light rays to said main light driving pipe (143.5). This design is aimed at accumulating all the light ray heat of a plurality of systems into one single main light driving pipe (143.5) in order to minimise the number of components and heat exchangers used. Said sustaining bars (143.16) sustain said light driving pipe into the required position.
One light driving pipe (143,8) can project in parallel with the direction of projection of said sustaining bars (143.1), away from said main light driving pipe (143.5). However, a flat reflection mirror (143.9) can drive said concentrated light rays directly towards said main light driving pipe (143.5). Said mirror (143.9) drives said light rays directly through the light driving pipe (143.10) to a set of four mirrors (143.11, 143.12, 143.6) to ensure that said light rays are driven at 90 degrees perpendicular to the direction of projection of said main light driving pipe (143.5). So, the initial mirror (143.11) drives the light rays to a set of two flat reflection mirrors (143.12), with said last mirror (143.12) finally driving the light rays towards the final mirror (143.6). Said final mirror (143.6) drives the light rays at 90 degrees perpendicularly to the main light driving pipe (143.5), towards it (143.5).
Another light driving pipe (143.3) can project in parallel to the direction of projection of said sustaining bars (143.13), towards said main light driving pipe (143.5). Said light driving pipe (143.2) can also start with at least one light collection and concentration system comprised. This depends on design requirements and ground topology. In this case, a flat reflection mirror (143.4) can drive said light rays directly to said main light driving pipe (143.5), which should be preferably at 90 degrees perpendicular to it (143.5).
Another light driving pipe (143.17) can drive the light rays in parallel to the sustaining bars (143.18), straight towards said main light driving pipe (143.5). So, a flat mirror (143.7) can then drive said light rays coherently and in parallel to the direction of projection of said main light driving pipe (143.5), through said light driving pipe (143.5) and towards the heat exchanger. Mirrors are also comprised for the other light driving pipes (143.10, 143.3) at the main light driving pipe (143.5), but at different heights, such that the light rays do not encounter any obstacle in the path.
Mother light driving pipe (143.23) can project in parallel to the direction of projection of said main light driving pipe (143.5), and preferably in parallel to the direction of projection of said sustained bars (143.20). Said sustaining bars (143.20) sustain said light driving pipe (143.23) by sustaining struts. The light driving pipe (143.23) can start at any point (143.19), in order to maximise the ground space utilisation for energy collection system installation. The number of systems depends on ground topology and design requirements. The sustaining members (143.24) of the light driving pipe (143.23) can project perpendicularly to the initial sustaining bars (143.20). This is because a flat reflection mirror (143.26) can drive said light rays to the main light rays driving pipe (143.5). A flat reflection mirror (143.15) is also comprised to drive said light rays coherently to said main light driving pipe (143.5), and through it (143.5) towards the heat exchanger. Said mirror (143.15) is comprised at a certain height to avoid any obstacles met by said light rays on the pathway. A flat reflection mirror, which in this case is the lower mirror (143.25) can be comprised on said perpendicular projecting system in order to maximise space utilisation for light concentration system installation, and to maximise system efficiency per unit of area.
Both sustaining members (143.16) sustain the main light driving pipe (143.5) into position. The lower mirror (143.21), upper mirror (143.22) and light concentration concave mirror (143.14) are comprised at each light collection and concentration system. The distances between said upper mirror (143.22) and said lower mirror (143.21) are enough between each system (143.21, 143.22, 143.14) such that one mirror (143.21, 143.22) can be rotated to 45 degrees of sideways inclination, in order to collect the light rays as efficiently and economically as possible.
The parts of the light driving pipes (143.27, 143.28, 136.8, 137.8) which are driven behind said lower mirrors or heliostats (143.21, 136.7, 137.7) are designed to not interfere with the structure of said systems (143.27, 143.28, 136.8, 137.8) thanks to the very low cross-sectional diametrical dimensions of said structures (143.27, 143.28, 136.8, 137.8). So, said lower mirrors or heliostats (143.21, 136.7, 137.7) can be rotated at up to 45 degrees sideways as required without any obstacles being encountered into the mirror's (143.21, 136.7, 137.7) path.
The light driving pipes (144.2, 144.7) can be comprised beside said main light driving pipe (144.21), such that both pipes (144.2, 144.7, 144.21) project in parallel to each other. Said light driving pipes (144.1, 144.16) can start at any point (144.1, 144A6) and comprise at least one light collection and concentration system. This depends on ground floor topology. The light driving pipes (144.2, 144.7) can drive the light rays to sets of flat reflection mirrors (144.4, 144.8, 144.25, 144.32) towards said main light driving pipe (144.21), by driving said light rays through the light driving pipes (144.12, 144.18, 144.24, 144.31). Said light driving pipes (144.12, 144.18, 144.24, 144.31) project perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said main light driving pipe (144.21). The sustaining members (144.3, 144.6) sustain said light driving pipes in the required positions at all times. Said pipes (144.2, 144.7) can be comprised on both sides of the main light driving pipe (144.21).
The flat reflection mirrors (144.23) can drive said light rays towards a concave mirror (144.17), or can directly (144.19) drive said light rays coherently to the direction of projection of said main light driving pipe (144.29). So, said flat mirrors (144.19) can also drive said light rays through said light driving pipe (144.29), and hence beside the other flat mirrors if required. The main light driving pipe (144.21) comprises sets of solar light ray collection and concentration systems over it (144.21), comprising each a lower flat mirror (144.9), an upper flat mirror (144.11) and a concave light concentration mirror (144.10) over said light driving pipe (144.21) but under said upper flat mirror (144.11). The sustaining bars (144.20) drive said light driving pipe (144.21) into the required direction. The tlat reflection mirrors (144.23) can be comprised at a height which is different to said flat reflection mirrors (144.26) comprised on the same pathway, in order to avoid any obstacles being met by said light rays.
So, said light driving pipe (144.21), drives the light rays towards a concave concentration mirror (144.17). Light rays of other light driving pipes (144.13), are reflected by flat reflection mirrors (144.15, 144.26, 144.28) which are under or above said flat reflection mirrors (144.15, 144.26, 144.28) to avoid any obstacles for said light rays. The inner flat reflection mirrors (144.28) can be sustained by horizontal members (144.27) which drive said light rays towards said concave mirror (144.17). So, the light driving pipe (144.22) drives all light rays reflected by said flat reflection mirrors (144.15, 144.23, 144.26, 14428) embedded into its interior (144.21), towards said concave light concentration mirror (144.17). Said concave mirror (144.17) then concentrates said light rays downwards to a convex mirror (144.14). So, said convex mirror (144.14) then drives said light rays coherently through said light driving pipe (144.21), onto said closed structure (144.29).
Said structure (144.29) drives the light rays towards the heat exchanger as required, hence minimising the number of heat exchangers needed. The set of flat reflection mirrors (144.15, 144.23, 144.26, 144.28) are comprised under or over said light rays being driven by said light driving pipe (144.21) before reaching said light concentration point. The use of concave (144.17) and convex (144.14) mirrors allows the use of said light driving pipe for a large plurality of light rays being concentrated from many light driving pipes (144.13, 144.12, 144.18, 144.24, 144.31) simultaneously and coherently. This results in a large solar ray concentration by said concave mirror (144.17), which drives the concentrated light rays downwards towards said convex mirror (144.14). The transparent light ray lens (144.30) is always comprised on said light driving pipe (144.29) structure at each light collection and concentration system. The vertical members (144.5) sustain said light driving pipe over the ground floor surface, as is required. Said light driving pipes (144.13) are driven from lateral light collection and concentration systems, such that said light concentration system (144.17, 144.14) based on concave (144.17) and convex (144.14) mirrors minimises the use of components, piping and heat exchangers needed.
The lower flat mirrors (145.1, 145.21) are comprised in order to efficiently collect and reflect the solar rays, which these (145.1, 145.21) drive towards the concave light concentration mirror (145.3, 145.10). Said concave mirrors (145.3, 145.10) then drive said light rays towards the flat transparent lens (145.2) comprised on the light driving pipe (145.5) for efficient lightrray driving and. The sustaining members (145.8) sustain said light driving pipe (145.5) in the required positions. A flat reflection mirror (145.12) drives said light rays into a light driving pipe (145.16) towards said main light driving pipe (145.14). The upper flat mirrors (145.4, 145.11) stay on a position which is perpendicular to the light rays coming, hence maximising light ray collection efficiencies by said lower flat mirrors (145.1, 145.21). The light driving pipe structure (145.9) can start at any point (145.7), depending on ground floor topology and design requirements.
The light driving pipes (145.6, 145.16, 145.23) drive the light rays towards flat reflection mirrors (145.24, 145.27, 145.29) which are sustained into said light driving pipe structure (145.14). The inner flat reflection mirrors (145.29) are sustained by sustaining members (145.28) which attach to the edge of the light driving pipe structure (145.14). The light rays are driven towards a concave minor (145.19). Said concave mirror (145.19) then drives the light rays, hence concentrating these downwards, towards a convex mirror (145.18). Said convex mirror (145.18) then drives the light rays through said light driving pipe structure (145.14), which projects in parallel to the sustaining members (145.13) of said pipe. The flat light reflection mirrors (145.30) can also drive the light rays beside other mirrors.
The light rays (145.17, 145.22) of the sun are driven to the lower flat mirrors (145.15, 145.20), which are inclined in order to drive said light rays efficiently and coherently towards said concave mirrors (145.25). Said concave mirrors (145.25) then concentrate said light rays towards said transparent lens (145.2) comprised at each light ray collection and concentration system (145.15, 145.25, 145.26). The upper flat mirror (145.26) is in this case in a perpendicular position to the inclining light rays (145.17) from the sun, hence maximising light ray collection and reflection efficiencies for said lower flat mirrors (145.15, 145.20). The light rays from the sun (145.17, 145.145.22) are always projected towards the light ray collecting mirrors (145.15, 145.20, 145.26), which can be either the lower flat mirrors (145.15, 145.20) or the upper flat mirrors (145.26). This depends on the position of projection of said main light driving pipe (145.14), and the direction of projection of said light rays at the given time.
The system design concerned comprises just one set of light ray collection and concentration systems (145.15, 145.25, 145.26) beside each system (145.1, 145.3, 145.4, 145.21, 145.10, 145.11) comprised beside said main light driving pipe (145.14). This system design allows the light rays (145.17, 145.22) to be easily collected by said flat mirrors (145.15, 145.20, 145.26) without having any of the lateral systems (145.1, 145.3, 145.4, 145.21, 145.10, 145.11) that could block the light rays (145.17, 145.22) of reaching said flat light collection and reflection mirrors (145.15, 145.20, 145.26). Said systems (145.1, 145.3, 145.4, 145.21, 145.10, 145.11) should be comprised preferably projecting in a parallel direction to the main light driving pipe (145.14) on both of its sides, with the sustaining members (145.13) preferably projecting into the same linear direction as said main light ray driving pipe (145.14).
The flat mirrors (146.2) can be sustained by vertical members (146.3) to the light driving pipe structure (148.1), such that said members (146.3) can sustain more than one flat mirror (146.2) above the other (146.2), where the same members (146.3) sustain everything. The flat mirrors (146.2) can be comprised being hanged (146.3) by said members (146.3) at different positions along the light driving pipe (148.1), such that no obstacle could be present on the path of the light rays (146.4), which are driven horizontally through said pipe. The flat mirrors (146.2) are all positioned in front of incoming light driving pipes (146.1) which supply the light rays to the flat reflection mirrors (146.2). This design is shown with said pipes (145.16, 145.23, 145.6) being reflected by flat reflection mirrors (145.24, 145.27, 145.29, 145.30). The light rays (146.5) can hence be projected on the same direction as lower comprised light rays (146.6), such that said light rays (146.6) can be driven past other flat reflection mirrors (146.2) without any obstacle or problem being posed. So, the light rays (146.7) can become a plurality, which increases the light ray (146.7) intensity.
The concentrated light rays (147.1) can be driven past said flat reflection mirrors (147.6) if these (147.6) are comprised at different positions in the light driving pipe (148.1). However, said mirrors (147.6) can be comprised at the same height as the concentrated light rays. Light driving pipes (147.5) which project perpendicularly (147.5), can be comprised in front of each flat reflection minor (147.6) in order to drive the light rays efficiently. The light rays (147.7) can altogether be driven to the heat exchanger (147.8) for simultaneous heat supply applications. The sustaining members (147.3) sustain said flat reflection mirrors (147.6) in place. So, the light rays 147.1, 147.2, 147.4) can increase in intensity, by passing beside more and more flat reflection mirrors (147.6) comprising flat reflection mirrors (147.6) at the same height, but beside the directions of projection of said light rays, in order to avoid any obstacles blocking the pathway of the light rays. Said concave light driving mirrors are comprised over the height of the light rays (147.4) concerned in this system design.
The flat reflection minors (148.3) can be comprised hanging from vertical members (148.4), which rigidly attach to the light driving pipe's (148.1) upper surface. Light driving pipes (148.2) which project perpendicularly (148.2), drive the light rays to the flat reflection mirrors (148.3). Said mirrors (148.3) then drive the light rays coherently through the light driving pipe (148.1), in the same direction of projection as said pipe (148.1). The light rays (148.5, 148.6) are driven beside said flat reflection mirrors (148.3), such that although said minors (148.3) are comprised at the same height, obstacles can be comprised on the pathway of said light rays (148.5, 148.6) that are driven. On this system design, the light rays (148.8) driven coherently through said light driving pipe (148.1), are comprised under said flat reflection mirrors (148.3), hence meaning that said light rays (148.8) are driven under said light rays (148.5, 148.6) which are being driven coherently through the light driving pipe (148.1) by said flat reflection mirrors (148.3). Said light rays (148.5, 148.6) are hence driven coherently in the same direction as the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (148.1) by said flat reflection mirrors (148.3).
Said flat reflection mirrors (146.2, 147.6, 148.3) are always comprised in front of incoming light driving pipes (146.1, 147.5, 148.3), and are sustained by vertically projecting sustaining members (146.3, 147.3, 1443.4), such that said flat reflection mirrors (146.2, 147.6, 148.3) are always comprised inside the structure of the light driving pipes (148.1), hence meaning that the light rays will be driven through said light driving pipe (148.1) to the heat exchangers (147.8, 148.6) for power generation and supply of storage heat. The sustaining members (146.3, 147.3, 148.4) can sustain at least two flat minors (146.2,147.6, 148.3) over each other, hence meaning that the light rays (146.4, 146.5, 146.6, 146.7, 147.1, 147.2, 147.4, 148.5, 148.6, 148.8) can be projected coherently and in parallel to each other as a plurality of light rays (146.5, 146.6, 146.7, 148.5, 148.6, 148.8) through the light driving pipe (148.1), towards said heat exchangers (147.8, 148.7).
The light rays can be driven by said upper convex mirror (148.9) coherently onto the same direction through said light driving pipe (148.1), to the concave or Plano concave mirror (148.1. I) comprised into said light driving pipe (148.1). Said light rays are then concentrated by said concave or Plano concave mirror (148.11), towards the convex or Plano convex mirror (148.10) comprised along the lower surface of said light driving pipe (148.1). With said design, a plurality of systems can be comprised in front of each other along the light driving pipe (148.1) without letting the light rays being obstructed by any obstacles. So, the cross-sectional surface area to insert flat reflection mirrors (148.3) could be maximised on said light driving pipe (148.1), hence maximising efficiency. The light rays (148.6, 148.8) can be driven under said upper convex mirror (148.9), but over said lower Plano convex or convex minor (148.10). A concave mirror (148.11) should be comprised if a convex mirror (148.10) is used to drive the light rays coherently through said light driving pipe (148.1). However, a Plano concave mirror (148.11) should be used if the lower mirror in question (148.10) which receives said concentrated light rays, is a Plano convex mirror (148.10). This is because the system should drive the light rays coherently and simultaneously through said light driving pipe (148.1) without any incidence occurring. So, both mirrors (148.10, 148.11) should correspond in geometry to each other (148.10, 148.11). Using a concave (148.11) and a convex (148.10) mirror would reduce the cross-sectional print of the light rays, hence maximising space inside said light driving pipe (148.1) to insert as many components as possible on the next light collection and concentration system concerned. So, a combination of concave (148.11) and convex (148.10) mirrors is to be preferably used for such a system. So, the entire surface area beside said lower convex mirror (148.10) could be used to position further flat light reflection mirrors (148.3) into the small space concerned. Said surface area comprises both sides beside said lower convex mirror (148.10), hence maximising space usage and light concentration efficiencies.
The light driving pipes (149.1, 149.17) on a plurality of sides, can drive the light rays from both sides of a main light driving pipe system (148.1, 149.24) towards it (148.1, 149.24). Said light driving pipes (149.1) are comprised over the ground floor surface (149.18) to minimise system installation and concentration costs. The light driving pipes (149.1, 149.17) on the two sides, drive the light rays towards light driving pipes (149.19, 149.15). Said pipes (149.19, 149.15) can comprise sets of four flat minors (149.20, 149.14) to adjust the height of light projection position of said light rays. The light driving pipes (149.2, 149.16) of a plurality of lateral light collection and concentration systems, can also drive the light rays through said pipes (149.2, 149.16) towards a set of four flat reflection mirrors (149.3, 149.13) at each side of said main light driving tubular system (148.1, 149.24). Said sets of flat mirrors (1493, 149.13) are used to regulate the height of projection of said light rays to any desired level, as is the ease for the other light driving pipes (149.19, 149.15) which comprise said sets of flat reflection mirror systems (149.20, 149.14).
The sets of four flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 149.3, 149.13, 149.14, 149.20), drive the light rays through horizontally projecting light driving pipes (149.4, 149.5, 149.12) from said flat reflection mirrors (149.3, 149.13, 149.14, 149.20). The vertical sustaining members (149.29) sustain said light driving pipes (149.4, 149.5, 149.12) over the ground surface (149.18) on the required fixed and rigid positions. Each light driving pipe (149.4, 149.5, 149.12) drives the light rays from a separate set of flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 149.4, 149.5, 149.12), independently towards said main light driving pipe system (148.1, 149.24). Flat reflection minors (148.3, 149.11) drive said light rays to the required horizontal position of projection, such that said light driving pipes (149.10, 149.25) can drive the light rays easily and coherently towards the flat reflection mirrors (149.9, 149.23) comprised in said main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24) without any difficulty. Each light driving pipe (149.10, 149.25) is driven separately and coherently towards a different flat reflection minor (148.3, 149.9, 149.23) into said main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24). The flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 149.9) can be comprised over other flat mirrors (148.3, 149.23) if required. However, the pathways of the upper convex (148.9, 149.8) and lower convex (148.10, 149.22) mirrors are never obstructed by flat reflection minors (149.9, 149.23). This is because said light rays reflected by said flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 149.9, 149.23) are all driven towards the concave minors (148.11) coherently for light concentration to said lower convex minor (148.10, 149.22). The upper convex minor (148.9, 149.8) drives the light rays driven by said concave mirror (148.11) coherently and horizontally through said light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24).
The main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24) can hence be comprised on a lower ground floor surface (149.21). The sustaining members (149.26) sustain said light driving pipe structure (148.1, 149.24) to the horizontal sustaining member (149.27). The vertical members (149.28) at each side, sustain said horizontal member (149.27) as well as the concave mirror (149.6) which concentrates said light rays towards said upper convex mirror (148.9, 149.8). Said horizontal sustaining members (149.27) also sustain said upper flat light collection and concentration mirror (149.7) into the required position.
Said light driving pipes (146.1, 147.5, 148.2, 149.10, 149.25), drive the light rays to said flat reflection minors (146.2, 147.6, 148.3, 149.9,149.23) in order for said light rays (146.4, 146.5, 146.6, 146.7, 147.1, 147.2, 147.4, 148.5, 148.6, 148.8) to be driven coherently and horizontally towards said heat exchanger (147.8, 148.7). In this case said flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 149.9, 149.23) are attached to the walls of the main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24). The main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24) drives the light rays (146.4, 146.5, 146.6, 146.7, 147.1, 147.2, 147.4, 148.5, 148.6, 148.8) coherently and horizontally through said light driving pipes (148.1, 149.24).
The ground surface heights (150.10, 150.11, 150.19, 150.19) are comprised at different heights at both sides of said main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24). The flat reflection mirrors (150.1, 150.2, 150.3, 150.8, 150.9,150.12, 150.17, 150.18) drive the light rays up or down said pipes (150.6, 150.7, 150.13) for coherent horizontal projection, provided that the change in direction of said light rays is at an angle of at least 45 degrees. Said light driving pipes (150.6, 150.7, 150.17) drive the light rays towards the main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24). Said main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24) comprises flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 150.14, 150.16) in order to drive the light rays of each of said pipes (148.2, 150.6, 150.7, 150.13) coherently, independently and horizontally through said light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24). Flat mirrors (148.3, 150.16) can be comprised over each other (148.3, 150.14) if necessary, as well as comprising a plurality of minors (150.14) being housed at each side along said light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24). Said mirrors (148.3, 150.14) are sustained by vertical sustaining members (148.4, 150.5). The upper convex mirror (148.9, 150.4) drives the light rays concentrated by the light concentrating concave mirror (149.6). The lower convex mirror (148.10, 150.15) drives the light rays that are concentrated by the concave mirror (148.11) comprised inside said light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24).
The light driving pipes (146.1, 147.5, 148.2, 150.6, 150.7, 150.13) drive the concentrated light rays to the flat reflection mirrors (150.14, 150.16, 146.2, 147.6, 148.3) coherently and horizontally through the main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24), hence driving the light rays (146.4, 146.5, 146.6, 146.7, 147.1,147.2, 147.4, 148.5, 148.6, 148.8) through the main light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24). The flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 150.14) can be sustained by vertical sustaining members (150.5, 146.3, 147.3, 148.4) that are attached to the upper surface of said light driving pipe (148.1, 149.24). This system hence drives the light rays (146.4, 146.5, 146.6, 146.7, 147.1, 147.2, 147.4, 148.5, 148.6, 148.8) to the heat exchanger concerned (147.8, 148.7).
The light driving pipes (151.1, 151.6, 151.7) drive the light rays towards the main light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10). The sustaining members (151.11) sustain said pipe structure (148.1, 151.10) to the horizontal member (149.27). The light driving pipes (151.1, 151.6, 151.7) drive the concentrated light rays to a flat reflection mirror (148.3, 151.3, 151.4, 151.5). Flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 151.3) can be sustained to the wall structure of the light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10). Other flat reflection mirrors (1483, 151.4, 151.5) can be comprised the one (148.3, 151.4) over the other (148.3, 151.5) in order to maximise space inside said light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10). Horizontal sustaining members (151.8, 151.12) can each sustain separately and independently said flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 151.4, 151.5) to the lateral wall surfaces of said light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10). The upper convex mirror (148.9, 151.2) is used to drive the light rays driven by the concave mirror (149.6) coherently through said light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10). The lower convex mirror (148.10, 151.9) is used to drive the light rays coherently through said light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10) alter being concentrated by the concave mirror (148.11) which is comprised inside said light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10). Said concave mirror (148.11) further concentrates said light rays towards said lower convex mirror (148.10, 151.9), hence freeing as much space as possible through said light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10), and hence allowing the next set of flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 1513, 151.4, 151.5) to be housed at a further position through said light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10).
The light driving pipes (151.1, 151.6, 151.7, 146.1, 147.5, 148.2) drive the concentrated light rays to flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 151.3, 151.4, 151.5, 146.2, 147.6, 148.3), which drive said light rays (146.4, 146.5, 146.6, 146.7, 147.1, 147.2, 147.4, 148.5, 148.6, 148.8) coherently and horizontally through the light driving pipe structure (148.1, 151.10), and hence towards the required heat exchanger concerned (147.8, 148.7). None of the flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 151.3, 151.4, 151.5) are comprised on the same path, in order to avoid any obstacles being present on the pathway of said concentrated light rays (146.4, 146.5, 146.6, 146.7, 147.1, 147.2, 147.4, 148.5, 148.6, 148.8). The upper flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 151.3) can be comprised over the flat mirrors (148.3, 151.4, 151.5) or beside these (148.3, 151.4, 151.5). Said flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 151.4, 151.5) which are sustained by separate and Mdependently projecting horizontally projecting members (151.8, 151.12), can comprise a member (151.8, 151.12) to sustain each mirror (148.3, 151.4, 151.5) separately, and can be comprised one (148.3, 151.4) over the other (148.3, 151.5) if required in order to save space inside said light driving pipe structure (148.1, 151.10). Said concave mirror (148.11) concentrates the light rays onto said lower convex mirror (148.10) in order to maximise the space used inside said main light driving pipe structure (148.1, 15110). This hence maximises the space offered inside said pipe (148.1, 151.10) to install as many flat reflection mirrors (148.3, 151.3, 151.4, 151.5) as required, while keeping a clear path for the fight rays (148.6, 148.8) to be driven without any obstacles into the main light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10).
Said light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10) can comprise a circular cross-section (151.10), but can also comprise square or oval cross-sections as well, depending on design requirements for the field concerned. So, each light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10) should comprise a hollow elongated structure (67.12, 123.3, 151.10), preferably a tubular structure (67.12, 123.3, 151.10) of circular, oval or square cross-section (67.12, 123.3, 151.10). On the square cross-sectioned pipes, the upper light reflection mirrors (149.9, 150.16, 151.3) would have more space to be installed, hence meaning that it could be a more favourable option depending on design requirements. The lower convex mirror (148.10, 149.22, 150.15, 151.9) should always be clear of any concave mirrors (71.6, 72.3, 148.11) on its (148.10, 149.22, 150.15, 151.9) front, and hence on the driving path for the light rays, from said lower convex mirror (148.10, 149.22, 150.15, 151.9), hence allowing it (148.10, 149.22, 150.15, 151.9) to drive light rays through the light driving pipe (148.1, 151.10).
The light driving pipes (152.11) can be present forming a circular cross sectional shape (152.11). Said design (152.11) can be sustained by a set of horizontally projecting members (152.6) that are sustained to the outer rigid sustaining members (152.12). The lower concave mirror (152.1) can drive the light rays (152.2) downwards towards said convex mirror (152.9). This is performed by driving said light rays (152.2) through the light crossing window (152.3) in order to reach said convex mirror (152.9). Said convex mirror (152.9) drives said light rays (152.2) back into a horizontal direction of projection. Due to the distance to said concentrated light point from over said window (152.3), birds and environmental species cannot be affected with such a system design. The light crossing window (152.3) comprises a wiper blade (152.4) over it (152.3) in order to wipe out any rain or outer environmental residue on the upper surface of said light ray collecting window (152.3). In this case, the wiper blade (152.4) is driven perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (152.11). A lateral inclined design topology (152.5) is included at each side of said light collecting window (152.3) in order for said outer residue or rain water on said sides (152.5), to be driven towards the outside (152.5) of said light ray collection window (152.3). This is because the wiper blade (152.4) does not go to the sides concerned (152.5). So, in order for the wiping job to be made automatically by gravity, an inclined geometry (152.5) on each side of the light my collecting window (152.3), is comprised such that said geometry (152.5) is inclined sideways and outwards (152.5), towards the outer pipe area. So, any rain water or environmental residue will be wiped out automatically by gravity.
Light driving pipes (152.7) can be driven to the sides of said light driving pipe (152A I), so that laterally comprised mirrors (152.10) can collect said light rays. Mirrors with more than one light reflecting application (152.8) can also be comprised to reflect said light rays. Said vertical rigid sustaining members (152.12) sustain the horizontally sustaining member (152.13). From said member (152.13), the light driving pipe (152.11) can also be sustained by rigid sustaining mirrors (152.14) to said horizontal member (152.13), which projects partly horizontally and partly vertically. The rigid horizontal member (152.13) can also sustain a set of vertically projecting members (152.16), which would sustain said light driving pipe (152.11) into the required position without damaging the position of the light ray collecting window (152.15). The wiper blade (152.4) would in this case sweep the unwanted rain water or environmental residue towards the two inclined sides (152.5) comprised, with said sides (152.5) then dropping the unwanted matter beside the pipe (152.11) by gravity. The upper light ray receiving convex mirror (152.9) is comprised as close as possible to said light ray collection window (152.3). Said design allows said convex mirror (152.9) to collect a maximum of light rays (152.2) from the upper comprised concave mirror (152.1) through the light collection window (152.3) towards said convex mirror (152.9). This hence maximises the diametrical size of said upper concave mirror (152.1) that could be used, hence maximising design efficiency by maximising the light ray collection and reflection by said concave mirror (152.1).
The light driving pipe (153.11) can comprise an upper vertical member (153.6) in order for said light collecting window (153.2) to be comprised without affecting the position of the upper convex minor (153.10) inside said light driving pipe (153.11). The lower concave minor (153.1) drives the light rays (153.5) down through said light collecting window (153.2) to said convex light driving mirror (153.10). In this case, the wiper blade (153.3) is swept perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (153.11). The lateral side inclined design geometries (153.4) are comprised to do the wiping out of rain water and outer environmental residue by gravity automatically. Horizontally projecting members (153.7) can sustain said light driving pipe (153.11) to said rigid vertical members (153.12). Light driving pipes (153.8) can drive the light rays from another system towards the sides of said pipe (153.11), with flat reflection mirrors (153.9) comprised along the sides inside said pipe (153.11). The lower convex driving mirror (153.13) drives the light rays inside said light driving pipe (153.11). Said upper light collection window (153.2) is hence comprised over the upper point of the cross section of said light driving pipe (153.11).
The rigid vertical members (153.12) can sustain horizontal members (153.14) which can sustain rigid members (153.15) which project partly downwards and partly horizontally, in order to sustain said light driving pipe (153.11). Vertical sustaining members (153.16) can sustain said light driving pipe (153.11) to said upper horizontal member (153.14). The wiper blade (153.3) would in this case sweep the unwanted rain water or environmental residue towards the two inclined sides (153.4) comprised, with said sides (153.4) then dropping the unwanted matter beside the pipe (153.11) by gravity. The upper light ray receiving convex mirror (153.10) is comprised as close as possible to said light ray collection window (153.2). Said design allows said convex mirror (153.10) to collect a maximum of light rays (153.5) from the upper comprised concave mirror (153.1) through the light collection window (153.2) towards said convex mirror (153.10). This hence maximises the diametrical size of said upper concave mirror (153.1) that could be used, hence maximising design efficiency by maximising the light my collection and reflection by said upper concave mirror (153.1).
The light driving pipe (154.5) can be also comprised comprising the wiper blade (154.1) projecting perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (154.5). So, the wiper blade (154.1) would be swept in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (154.5). Said wiper blade (154.1) would wipe out any undesired rain water or outer environmental residue present on the surface of the light ray collecting window (154.8). The lateral side inclined surfaces (154.6) are present to remove naturally by gravity any undesired residue, as said wiper blade (154.1) does not wipe at said points (154.6). The wiper blade (154.1) is sustained by the sustaining member (154.2) which is attached to the pivoting rotational member (154.3) along the outer side inclined member (154.6). The light driving pipe (154.5) can be sustained into position by horizontally projecting members (154.4) which are sustained to the vertical rigid members (154.7). The vertical members (154.7) sustain a horizontal member (154.9) above said light driving pipe (154.5) which can sustain sets of rigid members (154.10) which would sustain said light driving pipe (154.5) into position. Vertical members (154.11) can be comprised sustaining said light driving pipe (154.5) under said horizontal member (154.9), to which said vertical members (154.11) would attach to (154.9).
A light driving pipe (155.1) comprising a vertical enlarged oval cross section (155.1), perpendicular to the ground floor surface, can also be comprised as a light driving pipe (155.1). Said system (155.1) can comprise rigid members (155.5) which would sustain said light driving pipe (155.1) to the outer vertical sustaining members (155.4) comprised. The light collecting window (155.3) would in this case be comprised under the upper point of said oval cross section (155.1). In this case, the wiper blade (155.2) would be swept perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (155.1). Said wiper blade (155.2) would hence project in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (155.1). Lateral side inclined surfaces (155.6) along both sides of the edges of said window (155.3) can be comprised for automatic clearing of the undesired environmental matter present at said sides (155.6). Light driving pipes (155.7) can be comprised to drive light rays from another system into the light driving pipe (155.1), hence being driven into said pipe (155.1) by a driving flat minor (155.8). Flat driving mirrors (155.8) can be comprised to drive the light rays of other light driving pipes. The convex mirror (155.9) is comprised as close as possible to said upper light collection window (155.3) to maximise light ray collection from various inclined angles. The lower convex light driving mirror (155.10) is comprised at the bottom of said pipe (155.1).
The rigid vertical members (155.4) sustain a horizontally projecting member (155.12), which could sustain a set of rigid members (155.13) that could sustain said light driving pipe (155.1) into the required position over said horizontal member (155.12) to which said members (155.13) would attach to. Vertical sustaining members (155.14) can sustain said light driving pipe (155.1) to the horizontal member (155.12) described. The wiper blade (155.2) would in this case sweep the unwanted rain water or environmental residue towards the two inclined sides (155.6) comprised, with said sides (155.6) then dropping the unwanted matter beside the pipe (155.1) by gravity. The upper light ray receiving convex mirror (155.9) is comprised as close as possible to said light ray collection window (155.3). Said design allows said convex mirror (155.9) to collect a maximum of light rays from the upper comprised concave mirror through the light collection window (155.3) towards said convex mirror (155.9). This hence maximises the diametrical size of said upper concave mirror that could be used, hence maximising design efficiency by maximising the light ray collection and reflection.
A light driving pipe (156.2) which is oval in shape and cross section (156.2) and which is enlarged horizontally (156.2), in parallel to the ground floor surface (156.2), can also be comprised as the light driving pipe (156.2). Said design (156.2) allows the flat light collecting mirrors (156.11) to be larger due to the larger internal volume provided by the oval shaped cross section (156.2) of the pipe (156.2). The lower convex mirror (156.9) which drives said light rays is comprised as always at the bottom of said light driving pipe (156.2). The upper convex light receiving minor (156.10) can be comprised beside large light recovering and driving mirrors (156.8) due to the cross sectional size of the pipe (156.2). The light collection window (156.4) is larger due to the oval shaped large horizontal size of said light driving pipe (156.2). The wiper blade (156.3) would in this case project in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (156.2). So, said wiper blade (156.3) would be swept perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said pipe (156.2). Lateral side inclined surfaces (156.1) can be comprised at the sides of said light collection window (156.4) to wipe out any undesired matter by gravity. Rigid sustaining members (156.6) can sustain said light driving pipe (156.2) to the rigid vertical members (156.7).
The horizontal members (156.12) can be sustained to the vertical members (156.7) and sustain a set of rigid members (156.13) to the light driving pipe (156.2). Alternatively, vertical members (156.14) can sustain said light driving pipe (156.2) into position to said upper comprised horizontal member (156.12). The wiper blade (156.3) would in this case sweep the unwanted rain water or environmental residue towards the two inclined sides (156.1) comprised, with said sides (156.1) then dropping the unwanted matter beside the pipe (156.2) by gravity. The upper light ray receiving convex mirror (156.10) is comprised as close as possible to said light ray collection window (156.4). Said design allows said convex mirror (156.10) to collect a maximum of light rays from the upper comprised concave mirror through the light collection window (156.4) towards said convex mirror (156.10). This hence maximises the diametrical size of said upper concave mirror that could be used, hence maximising design efficiency by maximising the light ray collection and reflection.
Said oval shaped cross sectioned mirror (157.6) can also comprise a vertical member (157.4) in order to position the light collecting window (157.2) slightly over the upper surface of said light driving pipe's (157.6) oval (157.6) cross section. This design would slightly increase the internal space inside said light driving pipe (157.6). The vertical member (157.4) should be as minimal in height (157.4) as possible, in order to maximise the light ray reception from inclined angles by said convex light receiving mirror (157.9). Lateral side inclined surfaces (157.1) can be present to clean up the unwanted residue automatically by gravity. The wiper blade (157.2) is swept over the light ray collecting window (157.2), but isn't swept as far as the lateral sides (157.1) of said light collecting window (157.2). Due to the large oval cross sectional size (157.6) of said light driving pipe (157.6), light driving mirrors (157.8) can be comprised beside the light receiving mirror (157.9), to which a light driving pipe (157.5) can drive light rays from another system. The light driving pipe (157.6) can be sustained by a set of horizontal members (157.10) which would be sustained to the rigid vertical sustaining members (157.7) of the structure.
Horizontally projecting members (157.11) can be attached to the vertical members (157.7). So, said horizontal member (157.11) could comprise a set of rigid members (157.12) which would sustain said light driving pipe (157.6) into the required position. Alternatively, a set of rigid vertical members (157.13) can sustain said light driving pipe (157.6) to said upper comprised horizontal member (157.11). The wiper blade (157.3) would in this case sweep the unwanted rain water or environmental residue towards the two inclined sides (157.1) comprised, with said sides (157.1) then dropping the unwanted matter beside the pipe (157.6) by gravity. The upper light ray receiving convex mirror (157.9) is comprised as close as possible to said light ray collection window (157.2). Said design allows said convex mirror (157.9) to collect a maximum of light rays from the upper comprised concave mirror through the light collection window (157.2) towards said convex mirror (157.9). This hence maximises the diametrical size of said upper concave mirror that could be used, hence maximising design efficiency by maximising the light ray collection and reflection.
Said light collecting window (158.5) can alternatively comprise the wiper blade (158.2) projecting perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (158.7). So, said wiper blade (158.2) would be swept in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (158.7). The light collecting window (158.5) is swept clean by said wiper blade (158.2). The lateral edges (158.1) comprise a side inclined surface design (158.1) to allow automatic clearing of the unwanted contents by gravity. The wiper blade (158.2) is sustained by the member (158.3) which attaches to the rotational pivotal member (158.4), comprised on one of the outer edges (158.1) of said light collecting window (158.5). The light driving pipe (158.7) can be sustained by rigid horizontal members (158.6) to the vertical rigid members (158.8) of the structure's design. Said vertical sustaining members (158.8) can attach to a horizontally projecting member (158.9), which could sustain said light driving pipe (158.7) into position by the means of rigid members (158.10). Alternatively, vertical members (158.11) can sustain said light driving pipe (158.7) to said upper comprised horizontally projecting member (158.9).
The light driving pipe (159.10) can be comprised as a square shaped cross sectional design (159.10). In this case, an inclined shaped design (159.1) is comprised in order for the system design to do the wiping of undesired matter automatically by gravity. Similarly, the flat light ray collection window (159.2) comprises inclined side edges (159.11) on both sides of said flat window (159.11) in order for the rain water to flow by gravity along the outside of said light driving pipe (159.10). This is because thc wiper blade (159.3) does not wipe until the side edges (159.11) of the flat light collection window (159.2), but brings the undesired dirt towards said side edges (159.11). So, the wiper blade (159.3) wipes perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (159.10), towards the sides (159.11) of said flat light collection window (159.2) in order to leave it (159.2) as clean as possible. In this case, the wiper blade (159.3) projects perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (159.10). Once the undesired matter is driven to the side edges (159.11), it flows down said pipe (159.11, 159.1) by gravity automatically, hence freeing said upper surface from any unwanted residue. Light driving pipes (159.6) can be comprised to drive the light rays of other systems towards said pipe (159.10).
The pipe (159.10) comprises a light driving mirror (159.8) which can drive the light rays into the required direction, which is the advantage of this type of square shaped light driving pipe (159.10). Due to the large space comprised, large flat reflection mirrors (159.7) can also be comprised when looking downwards along said light driving pipe (159.10). The light collecting convex minor (159.9) is comprised as close as possible to the light collection window (159.2), in order to maximise light ray collection from the outside towards said convex mirror (159.9). Said light driving pipe (159.10) provides a larger space due to its square shaped cross sectional topology. The light driving pipe (159.10) can be sustained by rigid horizontally projecting members (159.4) to the lateral vertically projecting members (159.5), which can sustain said structure.
The outer sustaining vertical members (159.5) can sustain a rigid horizontally projecting member (160.3). In this way, a set of rigid sustaining members (160.4) can be attached to the upper comprised horizontal member (160.3), and sustain said light driving pipe (159.10) into the required position. The light collection window (160.1) is, as described before, surrounded by side inclined structures (160.2) at both sides. This allows the unwanted residue wiped out by said wiper blade (159.3), to be driven by gravity down said edges (160.2), and then down said lateral inclined structure (160.5) by gravity. Said structure (160.5) is comprised on both sides of said upper surface of the light driving pipe (159.10). This hence allows said dirt lobe driven beside said pipe (159.10) by gravity.
The horizontally projecting sustaining member (160.3), being comprised over said flat driving pipe (159.10), can also comprise vertical sustaining members (161.1) as an alternative, which can sustain said light driving pipe (161.2) rigidly into the required position as well.
The light driving pipe (162.9) can also comprise a vertical member (162.4)011 its upper surface (162.9), which drives said flat light collection window higher upwards (162.2). This design allows for more space inside said light driving pipe (162.9). However, said member's (162.4) height should be minimised, as said flat light collection window (162.2) should be as close as possible to said upper receiving convex mirror, hence maximising the amount of light rays which said mirror can receive. Light driving pipes (162.5) can be present to drive the light rays of other systems into said pipe (162.9), where a light reflection mirror (162.6) would drive said light rays onto the required direction into said pipe (162.9). Again, in this case, the wiper blade (162.3) projects in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (162.9). Hence, said wiper blade (162.3) would sweep over the upper surface of the flat light collection window (162.2) perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (162.9). Lateral side inclined edges (162.1) are comprised in order to drive the unwanted water or dirt wiped sideways by said wiper blade (162.3), onto the sides of said edges (162.1) by gravity automatically.
So, the unwanted dirt or rain water, could then be driven laterally beside said light driving pipe (162.9) by gravity, starting to flow beside the vertical member (162.4), followed by through the inclined geometry of the lateral side members (162.7) comprised under said vertical member (162.4), at each side of said light driving pipe (162.9). The light driving pipe (162.9) can be sustained by a set of rigid horizontally projecting members (162.8), which would be sustained by the outer rigid vertical members (162.10) of the structure.
The rigid vertical members (162.10) can sustain a horizontally projecting member (163.1), which could also sustain a set of members (163.2) from its upper position (163.1), such that the lower comprised light driving pipe (162.9) could be rigidly sustained by said set of sustaining members (163.2) to said horizontal member (163.1).
Vertical members (164.1) can be comprised as an alternative, where said members (164.1) sustain said light driving pipe (162.9) rigidly to the horizontally projecting member (163.1), which is sustained by the vertical rigid sustaining member (162.10).
The light driving pipe (165.4) can be comprised as a square shaped cross sectioned geometry (165.4), but can comprise the wiper blade (165.1) being comprised perpendicularly to the direction of projection of the driving pipe (165.4), hence sweeping in parallel to said pipe's (165.4) direction of projection. Said wiper blade (165.1) is sustained by the sustaining member (165.2) of said blade (165.1), which is sustained by the pivoting rotational member (165.3). Said member (165.3) sits on the inclined side edge (165.4) of said light driving pipe (165.4) in order to make the cleaning of said flat light collection window (165.6) as easily as possible. The light driving pipe (165.4) can be sustained rigidly by a set of horizontally projecting members (165.7), which attach said pipe (165.4) rigidly to the vertical sustaining members (165.5) of the structure.
The vertical sustaining members (165.5) can comprise a horizontally projecting member (166.1) which is comprised over said light driving pipe (165.4), and which is sustained by said vertical sustaining members (165.5). Said horizontal member (166.1) can hence sustain a set of rigid sustaining members (166.2) which would sustain said light driving pipe (166.3) rigidly to the horizontally projecting member (166.1), which would be comprised over said light driving pipe (165.4, 166.3).
Alternatively, a set of vertical sustaining members (167.1) can sustain said light driving pipe (167.2) to the horizontally projecting sustaining member (166.1) rigidly if that's required.
The light driving pipe (168.7) can also be comprised with a vertical member (168.11) pushing the position of the flat light ray collecting window (168.10) upwards in order to make more space inside the light driving pipe (168.7). However, care should be taken to put the height of said member (168.11) as low as possible, as the upper convex mirror should be as close as possible to the flat light collection window (168.10) in order to maximise the light rays collected from various low angles, and hence maximise the diameter size of said upper concave mirror. The wiper blade (168.2) can be comprised projecting perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (168.7), and hence sweeping in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (168.7). Said blade (168.2) can be sustained by the sustaining member (168.3), which would attach to the rotational pivoting member (168.4), which would exert the rotational force on said blade (168.2). Said member (168.4) would be comprised on the lateral inclined edges (168.1) at each side of the flat light collecting window (168.10) in order to make the cleaning of said flat light collection window (168.10) easy due to the inclined topology of said edges (168.1). So, said unwanted water or dirt, would fall over said edges (168.1), over said vertical member (168.11), and then drip over the lateral inclined edge (168.8) being comprised at each side of the pipe (168.7) as an inclined edge (168.8) in order to make the sweeping easy and automatically by gravity.
Light driving pipes (168.5) can bring the concentrated light rays from other systems towards said light driving pipe (168.7), where a flat reflection mirror (168.6) would drive said light rays accurately towards said light driving pipe (168.7). The light driving pipe (168.7) can be sustained rigidly by a set of horizontally projecting members (168.12), which would attach said pipe (168.7) rigidly to the vertical sustaining members (168.9) of the structure.
A rigid horizontally projecting member (169.1) can be comprised being sustained by said vertical sustaining members (168.9), and be comprised over the light driving pipe (168.7). So, said horizontally projecting member (169.1) can sustain said light driving pipe (168.7) rigidly by a set of sustaining members (169.2).
Alternatively, vertically projecting rigid members (170.1) can sustain said light driving pipe (168.7) rigidly to the horizontally projecting member (169.1), which is comprised over said light driving pipe (168.7), if that's required.
The light driving pipe (171.4) can comprise the lower convex driving mirror (171.8) and the upper light ray receiving convex mirror (171.1) into the same pipe (171.4), comprising a light driving pipe which can supply the light rays to a flat driving mirror (171.2) which would drive said light rays onto the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (171.4), with said mirror (171.2) being comprised just beside the upper convex light ray receiving mirror (171.1). The mirrors comprised inside said light driving pipe (171.4), can comprise sets of flat reflection mirrors (171.3, 171.7), which can comprise a large cross sectional diameter in order to drive a plurality of light driving pipes from outside said system, into said light driving pipe (171.4), due to the large cross sectional diameter comprised on said mirrors (171.3, 171.7). So, a light ray (171.6) can be driven from another system by itself or as a plurality of light driving pipes (171.6), towards said light driving pipe (171.4), ready to be reflected and driven into said pipe (171.4) by said flat long diameter reflecting mirror (171.3).
Also, a light driving pipe (171.5) can be driven from another system by itself or as a plurality of light driving pipes (171.5) to said light driving pipe (171.4), such that said pipe (171.4) can drove said light rays into said pipe (171.4) by the means of the long diameter flat reflection and driving mirror (171.7) that is present inside said light driving pipe (171.4). Said long diameter light reflecting and driving mirrors (171.3, 171.7) can be sustained from both sides (171.4) of the light driving pipe (171.4) by the means of sustaining members (171.9), which sustain said light reflecting and driving mirrors (171.3, 171.7) to the side walls (171.4) of the light driving pipe (171.4). Due to the long cross sectional diameters of said flat light driving mirrors (171.3, 171.7), said sustaining members (171.9) can be attached to said mirrors (171.3, 171.7) on both sides of said mirrors (171.3, 171.7), hence using the two lateral side walls (171.4) of the light driving pipe (171.4) in question. The elongated diameter of said flat driving mirror (171.3, 171.7) projects in parallel to the ground floor surface, and hence projects in a horizontal direction of projection. The flat reflection and driving mirrors (171.2, 171.3, 171.7), as much the short ones (171.2) as the elongated ones (171.3, 171.7), would reflect and drive the light rays onto the required direction, parallel to and in the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (171.4).
The light driving pipe (172.6) can be comprised in a circular cross sectional shape (172.6), but also comprising a flat elongated driving mirror (172.2) comprised inside it (172.6). So, the light driving pipe (172.6) can comprise a light driving pipe (172.4) which brings the light rays of another system, into said pipe (172.6), with said flat elongated driving mirror (172.2) doing the reflection and driving of the light rays into the light driving pipe (172.6) into which it is comprised. Due to the elongated flat mirror (172.2) comprised, a plurality of pipes (172.4) can project as said light driving pipe (172.4) concerned. The elongated diameter of said flat driving mirror (172.2) projects in parallel to the ground floor surface, and hence projects in a horizontal direction of projection. So, a plurality of pipes (172.4) can use the same flat mirror (172.2) to drive the light rays of other light concentration systems, into the light driving pipe (172.6), into which said mirror (172.2) is comprised. A sustaining member (172.8) can be comprised along each side of the elongated flat driving mirror (172.2) into said light driving pipe (172.6). So, the sustaining members (172.8) can be present along both sides of said flat driving mirror (172.2) inside said light driving pipe (172.6) due to the long diameter of said flat driving and reflection mirror (172.2).
Simultaneously, a light driving pipe (172.5) can drive the light rays of another system, into the light driving pipe (172.6). So, the flat reflection and driving mirrors (172.2, 172.3), as much the short ones (172.3) as the elongated ones (172.2), would reflect and drive the light rays onto the required direction, parallel to and in the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (172.6). Said light driving and reflection mirrors (172.3) can be comprised just beside the upper light receiving convex mirror (172.1), hence maximising the space and functionality provided by the light driving pipe (172.6). A similar design can be comprised with the lower convex light driving mirror (172.7), which is comprised along the lower surface of said light driving pipe (172.6).
The light driving pipe (173.5) can comprise a light driving pipe (173.3) which drives the light rays of another system to said light driving pipe (173.5) from above said pipe's (173.5) height along one side. So, sustained by vertical sustaining members (173.4), said light driving pipe (173.3) would drive the light rays through a pipe (173.3) to a flat reflection minor (173.2) comprised upwards on one lateral side, beside said upper convex light receiving mirror. Said system (173.2) would hence be comprised over said light driving pipe (173.5). So, said mirror (173.2) would drive the light rays to a light ray reflection and driving mirror (173.1), which should be flat (173.1) to do the driving job. Said mirror (173.1) would drive the light rays into the required direction through said light driving pipe (173.5). So, in other words (173.1), said mirror would drive the light rays in parallel to and into the same direction of projection as the light driving pipe (173.5) into which said flat mirror (173.1) is comprised. The upper light driving pipe (173.3) could save one or two mirrors, hut however, for maintenance crews, the path is more difficult due to the very height of said light driving pipe (173.3) concerned. The light driving pipe (173.5) has in this case a square shaped cross sectional geometry.
The light driving pipe (174.7) can also be comprised with a circular cross sectional geometry (174.7), but can also comprise a light driving pipe (174.4) which brings the light rays from another system, into said light driving pipe (174.7). So, the light driving pipe (174.4) is sustained by rigid sustaining members (174.6), and drives the light rays to a flat reflection mirror (174.5) comprised over one lateral side of said light driving pipe (174.7). So, said light driving pipe (174.4) would drive the light rays to said flat reflection mirror (174.5), comprised over one side of the light driving pipe (174.7). Said light rays would hence be driven vertically downwards by said flat reflection mirror (174.5)10 a laterally comprised light reflection and driving mirror (174.2). Said mirror (174.2) would drive the light rays in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (174.7). Simultaneously, a light driving pipe (174.3) can drive the light rays from another system towards said light driving pipe (174.7), such that a flat light reflection and driving mirror (174.1) drives said light rays in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (174.7). Similarly, said circular pipe (174.7) can also comprise an elongated flat mirror (174.9), which comprises an elongation which is parallel to the ground floor (174.9), and which is hence projecting in parallel (174.9) to the surface of the ground floor's surface. A light driving pipe (174.8) can project by itself (1 74.8) or in a plurality, towards said light driving pipe (174.7), which drives said light rays to a large flat reflection mirror (174.9) which drives said light rays in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (174.7). The elongated diameter of the flat light reflection and driving mirror (174.9) projects in parallel to the ground floor's surface, and hence in a horizontal direction of projection. The light driving mirrors (174.1, 174.2, 174.9), as much the short ones (174.1, 174.2) as the long ones (174.9), drive the light rays in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (174.7).
The light driving pipe (175.1) can also comprise two light driving pipes (175.3, 175.4) that are driven to over a lateral side of said light driving pipe (175.1). A vertical supporting member (175.6) supports one of the light driving pipes (175.3). So, the light driving pipes (175.3, 175.4) drive the light rays from other light concentration systems, as a plurality (175.3, 175.4) or as a single pipe (175.3, 175.4), towards flat reflection mirrors (175.9, 175.10), comprised into said pipes (175.3, 175.4) but over said light driving pipe (175.1). Said light rays are hence driven by said upper flat mirrors (175.9, 175.10) vertically downwards towards the flat light driving mirrors (175.5) comprised on the upper lateral area of said light driving pipe (175.1). Said mirrors are flat, and reflect and drive said light rays into the required direction of projection, in other words, in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (175.1). The position of said mirrors (175.5) is just comprised beside the position of the light ray receiving convex mirror (175.2) comprised along the upper surface of the light driving pipe (175.1). In this case, the light driving pipe (175.1) comprises a square shaped cross sectional topology, which supplies additional internal space (175.1), but this can however be completed with circular shaped light driving pipes (174.7), depending on the internal volume selected for said light driving pipe (175.1).
Simultaneously, a flat elongated reflection and driving mirror (175.8) can be comprised inside said light driving pipe (175.1), hence driving the light rays of a light driving pipe (175.7) in parallel to and in the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (175.1). The light rays (175.7) can project towards said flat elongated mirror (175.8) as single rays or as a plurality of light rays. The elongated diameter of the flat light reflection and driving mirror (175.8) projects in parallel to the ground floor's surface, and hence in a horizontal direction of projection. Care should be taken whcn selecting said systcm option, with light rays (175.3, 175.4) being driven over said light driving pipe (175.1), particularly if the light ray driving pipes (1753, 175.4) project as a plurality of pipes (175.3, 175.4), because the distance between the upper concave mirror and the light driving pipe (175.1) should be large enough to accommodate said light driving pipes without acting as an obstacle towards the path of the light rays. This can hence enlarge the height of the structure for no reason.
The light driving pipes (176.1) comprise a concave mirror (176.3) around said inner volume space of said pipe (176.1), such that the surface of said concave mirror (176.3), projects along the entire inner surface (176.2) of said light driving pipe (176.1). In this way, the light rays (176.4) are driven by said concave mirror (176.3) towards the convex light driving mirror (176.5), which drives said light rays in parallel to and in the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (176.1). The rigid supporting structure (176.9) sustains the light driving pipe (176.7) rigidly by sustaining rigid members (176.8). The concave mirror (176.10) is comprised inside said light driving pipe (176.7), and can be sustained by a rigid member (176.6) comprised inside said pipe structure (176.7), which attaches (176.6) the rear upper surface of the concave mirror (176.10) to the upper surface of the light driving pipe (176.7). Said concave mirror (176.10) comprises a cavity along the middle of the bottom area (176.11) of said concave mirror (176.10), in order for the light rays (176.12) to be driven by the convex mirror (176.5), in parallel to and in the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (176.7) as required.
The light rays (176.17) are driven towards said concave mirror (176.15), which occupies the entire cross sectional diameter of said light driving pipe (176.1). So, said light rays (176.17) are driven by said concave mirror (176.15) towards the convex mirror (176_5), which then drives the light rays (176.18) in parallel to and in the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (176.1). The light rays (176.18) are driven through the lower cavity (176.16) comprised at the mid bottom of said concave mirror (176.15). The supports (176.13) support said concave minor (176.15) in the light driving pipe (176.1). A set of flat reflection minors (176.14) then adjusts the light rays to the required height as required in said light driving pipe (176.1, 176.7).
The light driving pipe (177.4) can comprise the concave minor (177.3) which covers the entire inner cross sectional area of said pipe (177.4) as previously explained, but can comprise an upper member (177.2) which hence lifts the upper surface slightly upwards (177.1), so that said upper surface (177.1) can be comprised as a horizontal upper member (177.1). Said concave mirror (177.3) would hence also cover the entire cross section of said pipe (177.4) into said upper horizontal member (177.1), to drive said light rays to the lower convex mirror. The concave minor (177.8) can hence be comprised into the area of said light driving pipe (177.5) which is higher (177.5) due to said upper member (177.1), such that said light driving pipe (177.7) then follows at a lower height (177.7) due to said upper member (177.5) being cancelled (177.6) after passing undcr said concave mirror (177.8). Said concave mirror (177.10) occupies said upper member (177.9) as its cross section along the light driving pipe (177.4), and comprises a lower mid cavity (177.11), that could be observed on the upper cross sectional view. The set of flat adjusting mirrors (177.12), adjusts the height of said mirror as required into said light driving pipe (177.7).
The light driving pipe (178.1) can also be comprised as a square shaped cross sectional design topology (178.1), where the concave mirror (178.2) comprised inside, covers the entire inner cross sectional volume of said pipe (178.1), and which hence drives the light rays (178.4) to the lower convex minor (178.5). The sustaining members (178.3), sustain said concave minor (178.2) to said light driving pipe (178.1). The concave mirror (178.7) is comprised in front of said lower convex mirror (178.6), which drives the light rays (178.9) through the lower cavity (178.8) comprised at the mid cross sectional view, such that said lower convex minor (178.6) projects the light rays (178.9) in parallel to, and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (178.1). The light rays (178.10) project towards said concave mirror (178.11), which occupies the entire cross sectional view on the light driving pipe (178.1). So, the light rays (178.10) are driven by said concave mirror (178.11), such that the concentrated light driven beam (178.12) is passed through the lower cavity (178.13) comprised at the lower mid cross sectional view of said concave mirror (178.11).
The light driving pipe (179.1) can also comprise an upper extended member (179.1), surrounded by lateral member edges (179.2) and still comprises a square shaped design topology (179.1), with said upper member (179.1). The concave mirror (179.3) comprised, surrounds all the internal volume diameters of said light driving pipe (179.1). Said concave mirror (179.3) is sustained by said light driving pipe (179.1) by the means of sustaining members (179.4). Said concave minor (179.3) hence drives the light rays towards the lower convex mirror (179.5), which is the lower convex driving mirror (179.5). The concave mirror (179.9) is comprised where said light driving pipe (179.6) comprises said upper and higher (179.7) pipe (179.6) extension. The rest of the light driving pipe (179.8) is lower in height, with said upper member (179.2, 179.7) being cancelled. The concentrated light ray beam (179.11) is driven through the lower cavity (179.10), which is comprised at the mid cross sectional view of said concave mirror (179.9). The light rays are concentrated by said concave mirror (179.12), which drives the light rays towards the lower convex mirror (179.5). Said convex mirror (1795) drives the concentrated light ray beam (179.14) through the lower cavity (179.15) comprised at the lower area of the mid cross section of said concave minor (179.12). The upper member (179.13) is comprised on said concave mirror (179.12).
The light driving pipe (180.5) can be comprised with the flat light collection window (180.2) comprised under the upper point of said light driving pipe (180.5). This design (180.2) allows the piping (180.5) to be circular or oval in shape, while comprising a flat (180.2) light collection window. The flat light collection window (180.2) should be flat in order to avoid any unwanted reflection of the light rays into uncontrolled directions into said pipe (180.5). Hence, vertical members (180.1) can be comprised projecting upwards along the edges of said flat light collecting window (180.2), and hence be comprised on said light driving pipe (180.5) member. This would avoid any unwanted rain water to drip from said light driving pipe's (180.5) upper surface into the flat light collection window (180.2), hence making the wiping of said flat light collection window (180.2) easier with the wiper blade (180.3) comprised. The wiper blade (180.3) is sustained by the sustaining member (180.4), which is actuated by the rotational member, comprised at one side of the flat light ray collection window (180.2) on the light driving pipe's (180.5) surface.
The light driving pipe (181.4) can comprised lower members (181.3) attached to it (181.4) at each of its sides, in order to comprise a flat light collection window (181.2) that allows all light rays to be driven in the original directions of projection into said light driving pipe (181.4). This would avoid any uncontrolled projection of the light rays into said light driving pipe (181.4), as well as comprising circular or oval shaped cross sectional light driving pipes (181.4) on the system concerned. A set of lower cavities (181.1) can be comprised along both sides of the external edges of the flat light ray collection window (181.2). So, both cavities (181.1) will be able to collect the unwanted direct or water that is swept away from the flat light ray collection window (181.2) by the wiper blade (181.5). This would make the sweeping and cleaning of said flat light collection window (181.2) easily, with the cavities (181.1) collecting the unwanted water or dirt, and driving it (181.1) towards the sides of said light driving pipe (181.4). This would be done alter said direct or water is swept away from the flat light collection window (181.2) by the wiper blade (181.5). So, said dirt or water would be pushed into said cavities (181.1), hence avoiding any dirt or water to be comprised on said flat light collecting window (181.2). No light rays are being projected along said lateral cavities (181.1) of said flat light collecting window (181.2), such that no light rays are damaged or sent out of control by said water or dirt comprised into said cavities (181.1). The light rays are only projected along the flat light collection window (181.2), which is flat and which is swept away by said wiper blade (181.5), which is sustained to said sustaining member (181.6), which is sustained to the rotational pivotal member comprised on the light driving pipe (181.4) member.
The flat light ray collection window (1821) should be flat, such that a lower position to the position of highest height of the light driving pipe (182.1) is required. So, a vertical member (182.1) is comprised in order to put said flat window (182.2)10 the required height. The wiper blade (182.3) to wipe clean said flat light collection window (182.2), is this time comprised projecting in parallel to the direction of projection of said pipe (182.1), hence sweeping perpendicularly to said direction of projection of said pipe (182.1). The sustaining member (182.4) sustains said wiper blade (182.3) in place.
The wiper blade (183.4) can also project perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (183.2), hence sweeping (183.4) in parallel to the direction of projection of said pipe (183.2). So, said lateral cavities (183.1) can be comprised at each side of the flat light ray collection window (183.3) in order for said wiper blade (183.4) to wipe out any undesired water or dirt towards the lateral cavities (183.1) comprised at each side of said flat light ray collecting window (183.3), hence leaving the flat light ray collection window (183.3) clean and without any unwanted dirt or water on it (183.3).
The light driving pipe (184.3) can also comprise an upwards positioned member (184.1) comprised at the position of light ray reception from the concave mirror. So, said flat light collection window (1114.4) will be comprised at a higher point than the highest point of said light driving pipe (184.3). This allows any unwanted water or dirt to be easily cleaned away by said wiper blade (184.5), which in this case projects in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (184.3). The wiper blade (184.5) is sustained by the sustaining member (184.6), which is attached to the rotational pivoting actuating member (184.2), which exerts the rotational actuation and which is comprised on the side of said flat light ray collecting window (184.4) on the light driving pipe's (184.3) surface.
The light driving pipe (185.2) can also be comprised with the wiper blade (185.4) being comprised on the flat light ray collection window (185.3), but projecting in a perpendicular direction to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (185.2). Hence, said blade (185,4) would sweep the upper surface of said flat light ray collecting window (185.3) in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (185.2). The upper member (185.1) lifts the position of the flat light ray collection window (185.3) slightly upwards, but with limits, as the height should not obstruct light rays from shallow angles to enter into the light driving pipe (185.2), due to the higher pipe (185.2) surface comprised.
The light driving pipe (186.3) can comprise the wiper blade (186.5) projecting in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (186.3), hence sweeping the upper surface of the flat light ray collection window (186.4) perpendicularly to the direction of projection of the light driving pipe (186.3). Said wiper blade (186.5) is sustained to the sustaining member (186.6), which is sustained to the rotational member on the top surface (186.2) of the upper member (186.2), comprised on the light driving pipe's (186.3) surface. The flat light ray collection window (186.4) is comprised at a lower height (186.4) than the upper surface of the light driving pipe (186.3) in order to include pipes of circular cross sectioned geometries. However, caution has to be taken, as the lower angle can obstruct some of the light rays, hence minimising the height of the sustaining members (186.2) comprised. The same happens with the upwards extruding member (186.1), which is comprised over the light driving pipe's (186.3) surface, and is used to stop the water from dripping into the flat light collection window (186.4). Said member (186.1) should be height enough on both sides of said flat window (186.4) to avoid the water from dripping into said flat window (186.4), but with its design limitations. So, the wiper blade (186.5) would sweep the flat light ray collection window (186.4) towards the two sides, on both sides of said light driving pipe (186.3).
The light driving pipe (187.5) can also comprise the flat light ray collection window (187.4) comprised along the same surface as the highest point of height of said jight driving pipe (187.5), provided that a higher member (184.1) is comprised at both side edges of said flat light collection window (187.4), hence allowing to also use oval or round shaped light driving pipes (187.5). So, with said system, no light obstruction problems should be present, as no members of the light driving pipe (187.5) obstructs the path of said light rays, as said flat window (187.4) is comprised at the same height as the highest point of the light driving pipe (187.5). So, the light ray receiving mirror (187.2) will not need to be moved to another level into said light driving pipe (187.5). Lateral cavities (187.3) are comprised at both sides of the light ray collecting window (187.3). So, said cavities will drive towards the sides of said light driving pipe (187.5), the unwanted direct and rain water, not only swept away from said flat window (187.4) by said wiper blade, but also what drips from the outer surface of the light driving pipe (187.5) into said lateral cavities (187.3). The cavities (187.3) are comprised at each side of the light ray flat collection window (187.4), one beside each start of the light driving pipe's member (187.5). The upper light ray receiving and driving convex mirror (187.2) inside said light driving pipe (187.5), can be comprised under the edge of the flat light ray collection window (187.4) thanks to a sustaining member comprised (187.1), which sustains said mirror (187.2) into position. Said convex mirror (187.2) can still be comprised under one of the lateral edges (187.3) comprised at the side of said flat light ray collecting window (187.4), but not to receive light rays through said cavity (187.3) comprised, but only through the window (187.4), as no uncontrolled light rays should be comprised into the system (187.2).
Said flat light ray collection window (188.4) can be comprised as previously explained, at the same height as that of the light driving pipe (187.5), but comprising the rotational member of the wiper blade (188.6) comprised beside said lateral cavity (188.2) of the flat light ray collecting window (188.4), on the light driving pipe's structure (187.5). The upper convex light receiving and driving mirror (188.5) can be sustained under said flat light ray collecting window (188.4) and cavity (188.2) by the means of a sustaining horizontally projecting member (188.3). The vertically projecting members (188.1) can still be comprised at the sides of said cavities (188.2), at the side of said flat light ray collecting window (188.4), in order to obstruct any unwanted water or dirt from falling into said window (188.4), even if that would mean being driven into said side cavities (188.2).
The wiper blade (189.4) can also be comprised projecting perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (189.1) on said flat light collection window (189.3). This means that said wiper blade (189.4) would sweep over said flat window (189.3) in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (189.1). The advantage of this design configuration, is that all the unwanted dirt or water that is swept away by said wiper ballade (189.4), is automatically driven to the side cavities (189.2), which are comprised at each side of the flat light ray collecting window (189.3). The flat light ray collecting window (189.3) is comprised at the same height as the light driving pipe's (189.1) upper structure (189.1).
The light driving pipe (190.3) can be comprised with the flat light ray collecting window (190.4) comprised at the same height as the highest point of said light driving pipe (190.3), along with the cavities (190.2) being comprised at each side of the flat light collecting window (190.4), ready to collect any unwanted water or dirt from the sweeping of the wiper blade (190.5). However, the upwards projecting members (190.1) can still be comprised in order to avoid any outer unwanted water or dirt from being driven into said lateral cavities (190.2), coming from the unwanted light driving pipe's upper surface (190.3).
The light driving pipe (191.1) can also comprise the flat light ray collecting window (191.8) being pushed more downwards by a sustaining vertical member (191.5) on both sides. This would hence mean that said light ray collecting and driving mirror (191.7) should be comprised more downwards, even sustained by said horizontally projecting member (191.6). Said member (191.6) is sustained to the outer light my driving pipe (191.1) structural member. The upwards projecting members (191.2) can still be comprised in order to avoid any unwanted dirt or water from dripping into the lateral side cavities (191.3) of the flat light ray collecting window (191.8) from the outer light driving pipe's structure (191.1). The wiper blade (191.4) makes the cleaning and sweeping of the flat light ray collecting window (191.8). In this case, the sweeping would being the unwanted dirt or water to the side areas of the light driving pipe (191.1), hence then dripping into the sides by gravity.
Me light ray driving pipe (192.5) can be comprised such that the flat light collection window (192.3) is sustained by lateral member (192.6) at each side to put said window (192.3) more downwards than the highest of said pipe (192.5). The wiper blade (192.4) can project perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (192.5). So, the sweeping of said flat light collecting window (192.3) will be done by said wiper blade (192.4), such that all the unwanted dirt or water will be driven towards said two lateral cavities (192.2) comprised on said flat light collecting window (192.3) by said wiper blade (192.4). The upper projecting members (192.1) can be comprised to avoid any dirt or water from said light driving pipe surface (192.5), from flowing into said lateral cavities (192.2) of said flat light collecting window (192.3), although this would be really unnecessary in this design concept. The upper light ray collecting and driving convex mirror (192.8) can be sustained under said lateral cavity (192.2) or flat light collecting window (192.3) by a horizontally sustaining member (192.7) which is sustained to the light driving pipe's (192.5) upper surface.
The light driving pipe (193.6) can comprise said flat light ray collecting window (1937). being comprised at the same height as the upper surface of said pipe (193.6). In this case, the wiper blade (193.8) can be comprised being rotated by a rotational member (1914) being comprised between the two lateral cavities (193.5), if said wiper blade (193.8) projects in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (193.6). In this design case, two lateral cavities (193.2, 193.3) are comprised at each side of the flat light ray ccdecting window (193.7). So, said wiper blade rotational member (193.4) can be comprised on the sides of the cavity (193.2) which is comprised on the light driving pipe's (193.6) lateral upper member, hence being comprised between the two cavities (193.2, 193.3), but on the light driving pipe (193.6). One cavity (193.2) is comprised on the light driving pipe's (193.6) surface, while the other cavity (193.3) is comprised on the surface of the flat light ray collecting window (193.7). The two cavities (193.2, 193.3) can hence be comprised on the two sides of the flat light ray collecting window (193.7). Although unnecessary for this design, the upper members (193.1) can be still comprised at each side of the window (193.7) on the design concerned, to stop the water from dripping into said cavity (193.2) comprised on the light driving pipe's surface (193.6).
The wiper blade (194.4) is comprised over the surface of the flat light ray collecting window (194.3) in order to swipe it clean. The cavity (194.8) comprised on the light driving pipe (194.1), should comprise said pipe area (194.1) still strong enough in order to sustain rigidly and correctly the concave mirror (194.7) comprised under said cavity (194.8) of said light driving pipe (194.1). The system can comprise the flat light collection window (194.3) at the same upper height as that of the light driving pipe (194.1). The inner cavity (194.6) is comprised at the side of the flat light ray collecting window (194.3), while the other cavity (194.5) is comprised on the light driving pipe's (194.1) surface. A member (194.2) can hence be comprised between the two cavities (194.5, 194.6) on both sides of the flat light ray collecting window (194.3).
The light driving pipe (195.1) can comprise the lateral cavity (195.4) being comprised at each side of the light ray collecting window (195.5), which is part of said light driving pipe's structure (195.1). The flat light ray collecting window (195.2) can equally comprise a cavity (195.5) comprised at each side of said flat window member (195.2). This would allow the unwanted water and dirt to flow away outwards to the two sides of the light driving pipe (195.1). However, the wiper blade (195.3) can be comprised projecting perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (195.1). This would mean that the sweeping of said blade (195.3) would be made in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (195.1). This would hence drive the unwanted water and dirt being swept away by said wiper blade (195.3) towards the cavities (195.4, 195.5), which would drive said unwanted content to both lateral sides of the light driving pipe (195.1). The advantages of inserting the blade (195.3) perpendicular to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (195.1), such that the cavities comprised (195.4, 195.5) would be used with maximum efficiency, as said blade sweeps towards said cavities (195.4, 195.5).
The inner cavity (196.3) which makes part of the light ray collecting window (195.2), and the outer cavity (196.2) which makes part of the light driving pipe's member (195.1), can be comprised beside a vertical member (196.1), which would be comprised on said light driving pipe (1%.1), beside said outer cavity (196.2), and on both sides of said light ray collecting window (195.2). This design is comprised to avoid any outer water or dirt to drift into said cavities (196.2, 196.3) comprised. However, due to the presence of said cavities (196.2, 196.3) which drive any unwanted dirt or water to the outside of said light driving pipe (195.1), this design feature (196.1) is most probably unnecessary.
The light driving pipe (197.1) can comprised the flat light my collecting window (197.6) comprised lower due to a sustaining member (197.7) comprised at each side of said window (197.6). The outer cavity (197.2) is comprised on the light driving pipe's surface (197.1), while the inner cavity (197.4) is comprised on the flat light ray collecting window's (197.6) surfaces, hence comprising both cavities (197.2, 197.4) at each side of said flat light ray collecting window (197.6). The mid upper member (197.3) separates the two cavities (197.2, 197.4) from each other. The wiper blade (197.5) sweeps clean the upper surface of said flat light ray collecting window (197.6). Thc upper light ray receiving and driving convex mirror (197.9) is sustained under said cavity (197.4) of the flat light ray collecting window (197.6) by the means of a rigid horizontally projecting member (197.8), which attaches said system (197.9) rigidly to the lower vertical sustaining member (197.7) of the light driving pipe (197.1) comprised.
The light driving pipe (198.4) can comprise said vertically projecting members (198.1) on its upper surface (198.4), beside the lateral cavity (198.2) comprised at each side of the flat light ray collecting window (198.6). Said window (198.6) can comprise a lateral cavity (198_5) at each side, with the wiper blade (198.7) sweeping the dirt or water towards said lateral cavities (198.5) on said flat light my collecting window (198.6). The window (198.6) can be positioned lower due to a member (198.3) sustaining said flat window (198.6) to said light driving pipe's (198.4) upper surface.
The light driving pipe (199.1) can comprise side cavities (199.2) in order to stop any influx of water or dirt from dripping onto the flat light ray collecting window (199.4), which is sustained by a member (199.3) which connects to the light driving pipe's upper surface (199.1), on each of its sides. The wiper blade (199.5) can do the sweeping of said flat light ray collecting window (199.4), by projecting in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (199.1). Hence, as the wiper blade (199.5) would sweep the unwanted dirt or water to the lateral sides of the light driving pipe (199.1), no inner cavities (198.5) are needed for said flat light ray collecting window (1994). The wiper blade (199.5) is attached to the sustaining member (199.6), which attaches to the side area of the light driving pipe's (199.1) upper surface.
The light driving pipe (200.1) can be comprised, containing a tube (200.1), such that the pipe (200.1) comprised is sustained over the ground surface (200.3) by a vertical (200.2) sustaining member (200.2). The tube member (200.1) is comprised such that a mirror (200.5) is comprised at the end of said light driving pipe (200.1), such that said member (2001.) drives the light rays vertically downwards through said pipe (200.4) to another flat mirror (200.21). Said flat mirror (200.21) can hence drive the light rays through a horizontal light driving pipe (200.22) from one flat reflection mirror (20011) to the next (200.25), such that the light rays can be drivee vertically upwards through a light driving pipe (200.24) to a minor (200.23), comprised inside a building (200.20). The light driving pipes (200.22) can be comprised below the floor surface (200.3), hence comprising underfloor pipes (200.22), and hence avoiding any piping being visible when being around or outside the building or house (200.20) concerned. This would however bring the design slightly more expensive. This allows the heater or boiler (200.23) inside said building (200.20) to be constantly heated by the light rays (20023) received, hence always comprising a hot source of water available. Similarly, another light ray tube space (20026), drive light rays into the tube (200.26) towards a heat radiator (200.27). So, the light rays (200.26) heat the radiator (200.27), which then transfers the heat to the air environment around said radiator (200.27) inside said building (200.20), hence keeping the room where said radiator (200.27) is comprised in said building (200.20), to a hot temperature.
Another light ray driving pipe (200.28), can drive light rays (200.28) towards a cooker (200.10), which can cook into more or shallower surfaces (200.10), or more or less concentrated surfaces (200.10), according to the request of the customer present. So, the cooker piece present (200.9) can be cooked into a wider area or into a more shallow area, and hence at a slower or at a faster and hotter rate (200.9). The customer could use electrical power to accomplish this, or could use a set of members (200.8) comprised under said cooker (200.10). Said members (200.8) comprises a concave lens plate (200.32), which is concave on both upper and lower sides (200.32), which the customer can move upwards or downwards (200.7) in order to adjust the cooking set according to the cooking piece of material (200.9) being used on the cooker surface (200.10). The concave lens (200.32) is comprised over said upwards projecting light driving pipe (200.28). The mirror members (200.32) function by comprising a concave mirror lens (200.32) comprised on the two sides. So, if the customer moves it (200.32) nearer to the upper comprised cooker (200.10), the surface area will be reduced, but the heat present on said cooker (200.10) will be more intense on a lower surface area (200.10), heating said cooking members (200.9) at a much faster rate on said cooker (200.10).
However, if the customer moves the concave mirror (200.32) is more downwards, the light intensity on the cooker is reduced, and is hence lower, hence heating said cooking piece (200.9) at a slower speed, but occupying a wider surface area around said cooker plate (200.10) comprised. The central member (200.29) ensures that said concave mirror (200.32) is always stationed at the right position around said system (200.8), with the sliding rail (200.30) comprised to move said mirrors (200.32) up or down (200.7), as required by the customer, without said concave lens (200.32) moving a single millimetre towards the sides. If said concave lens (200.32) is moved towards the sides, said cooker (200.10) would result in comprising unstable light distributions, and the light rays would be driven out of control. This system design (200.28), hence supplies cooking heat to the inside of the building (200.20) comprised on the Figure.
Another light driving pipe (200.31) can supply the heat to a heat exchanger (200.11), which is comprised inside a box structure (200.12) inside said building (200.20). Said system can hence produce electricity by driving a steam turbine (200.15), while feed the storage tank (200.13) with hot fluid simultaneously, in order to guarantee a supply of power for the night. So, a fluid driving pipe (200.34) can drive fluid to said heating storage boiler (200.13) after being heated by said heat exchanger (200.11). After said circuit is complete, said fluid is driven back via pipe (200.33) to said heat exchanger (200.11) in order to restart the process. Simultaneously, an output pipe (200.35) drives hot water from the heat exchanger (200.11) towards the steam turbine (200.15). Therefore, said water enters into said turbine (200.15) through the turbine entry pipe (200.14). Said water drives said steam turbine (200.15) inside its housing (200.16). After performing said operations (200.15), said water is driven back through the exit pipe (200.17), out of said steam turbine housing (200.16), where it can get back to said heat exchanger (200.11) by using the backward projecting water driving pipe (200.36) comprised. Once said water gets to said heat exchanger (200.11), said process can be initiated again. So, both processes run simultaneously in order to generate both electrical power and storage heat in the boiler (200.13) constantly for the night At night, the two circuits (200.33, 200.34, 200.35, 200.36) carry on flowing as during the day time. However, at night, the heat exchanger (200.11) is still used by the two circuits in order to transfer the heat of the hot fluid (200.33) of the boiler (200.13) to the fluid (200.35) in order to carry on driving said steam turbine (200.15) at night. So, said heat exchanger (200.11) is always used, both at day and night times. The seta turbine (200.15) is comprised in its housing (200.16), and drives a generator (200.19) by driving a central member (200.18), which converts the rotational kinetic energy of said turbine (200.15) into electrical power, to be used by the people living in the building concerned (200.20), or by other users, according to customer requirements. The building (200.20) can comprise a roof cover on its roof (200.6). The heat exchanger (200.11) can be comprised inside a house shaped structure (200.12) inside said building (200.20).
The light driving pipes (201.4) should be comprised visible over (201.4) the ground floor surface (201.16) as a preference in order to save construction costs. Said pipes (201.4) bring the light rays from other light ray collection and concentration systems into the surrounds of the building concerned (201.8). The light driving pipes (201.4) hence drive the light rays, in a highly concentrated matter, through the pipes (201.9) towards the building concerned (201.8) for heating applications. The light rays (201.2) are driven towards said lower flat mirror of the light collection and concentration system (201.10) in this case. So, the upper flat mirror (201.1) is comprised perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light rays (201.2), in order to minimise the obstruction of said mirror to the light rays concerned. The concave mirror (201.3) is comprised in front of said lower flat mirror. All members (201.1, 201.3) are sustained by the upper sustaining bar (201.5), which sustains said light driving pipe (201.11) rigidly into position by the means of vertical rigid supporting members (201.10), which attach said supporting member (201.5), to said light driving pipe (201.11).
The light driving pipe (201.6) can project out of the system, and be supported by a set (201.12, 201.14) of vertical members. So, said light driving pipe (201.6) projects with the concentrated light rays from said light collection and concentration system's pipe (201.11). The light rays (201.7) are hence driven towards said building structure (201.8) by a light driving pipe (201.7). A set of flat reflection mirrors (201.15) is used to drive said light rays into said pipe (201.13) to the required position into said building structure (201.8). In this case, said pipe (201.13) would drive said light rays to the heat exchanger system (200.11) of said building (201.8), to be used to generate power and supply heat to thc heating boiler (200.13) simultaneously at all times during the day and night times. The light driving pipes (201.9, 201.13) should preferably be comprised under the ground floor (201.16) when projecting towards said building (201.8) to reduce the visibility of said pipes by the people living inside said building (201.8), hence minimising visual pollution. However, said pipes (201.9, 201.13) can also be comprised over the ground floor surface (201.16), hence minimising construction costs, as well as maximising the ease of maintenance and inspection, due to the fact that said pipes (209.1,201.13) would be visible over the floor surface (201.16). This would hence not only bring construction costs down, but also maintenance costs down as well. The light driving pipes (201.9, 101.13) should all get the required concentrated light rays from the light driving pipe (201.6, 201.11) of a solar ray collection and concentration system (201.5), like the one (201.5, 201.10) shown and comprised on the Figure.
The light driving pipes (202.2) should project over the ground floor surface (202.4) preferably to minimise construction costs. Said pipes (202.1) can drive the concentrated light rays from a system (201.11) to a set of flat reflection mirrors (202.5), which drives said light rays through a light driving pipe (202.3) to another flat mirror (202.6). So, said light rays arc hence driven by said flat mirror (202.6) into a vertically upwards projecting light driving pipe (202.7) to an underfloor heating system (202.8). This allows the whole building (202.10) structure to be heated from the floor without the need of any radiators or heaters. Said system (202.8) is an underfloor heater, and should be comprised along the floor surface (202.9) of the building. The advantage of comprising underfloor light driving pipes (200.22, 202.3) is that not only these (200.22, 202.3) are comprised under the floor surface (202.4), hence minimising visual pollution, but also the access from said pipes (200.22, 202.3) to said different applications comprised, such as the boiler (200.23), the heater (200.27), the cooker (200.10), the heat exchanger (200.11) and the underfloor heating system (202.8), is much easier. No need is required to make flow said pipes (200.22, 202.3) over the ground floor surface (200.3, 2024) in order for these to access said systems comprised. This would reduce space and give a rise in visual pollution from said pipes (200.4, 202.1). This design is particularly good for an underfloor heating system (202.8), where no pipe (202.3) is required to be driven over the ground floor surface (202.4) in order for it (202.3) to access the underfloor heating system (202.8) applications. This would hence minimise visual pollution and maximise system (202.8) practicability of said underfloor heating system (202.8).
The light driving pipe systems (203.1) can be comprised projecting in parallel o each other (203.1), such that said systems (203.1) project as a plurality of light driving pipes (203.1) in parallel to each other, hence forming a solar ray collection and concentration group of systems (20.3.1). This design hence forms a solar ray collection and concentration satiation, based on a plurality of light driving pipes (203.1) which project into the same direction of projection and in parallel to each other, towards a heat exchanger (203.37) at the end of said systems (203.1). Said systems (203.1) can be comprised inside a squarer or circular environment (203.2), which surrounds the entire power generation station, hence marking the frontier between nature and said solar ray collection and concentration systems (203.1). The light driving pipes (203.5) each start by a piping start (203.3), in which said pipes start to project into the required direction of projection, towards the first flat light collection window (203.8). The lower flat light collection mirror (203.11) is sustained by a rotational pivot member (203.7) into its required position of projection. So, in this case, the solar light rays (203.6) are reflected by the higher flat light reflection mirror (203.15). Said mirror (203.15) is sustained by a pivoting member (203.20) to its required position rigidly. The pivoting members (203.7, 203.20) each allow said mirrors (203.11,203.15) to be rotated according to the orientation of the solar light rays at all times, and sustain said mirrors (203.11,203.15) to a horizontal member (203.16,203.28) which is supported by external sustaining member (203.10) of said sustaining structure. The rotational pivotal members (203.7, 203.20) are all controlled by the central computer system, which monitors the orientation of said solar light rays (203.6) at all times. So, the system can decide which mirror should positioned in parallel to the direction of projection of said solar light rays (203.6), or orientate the mirrors (203.11,203.15) in order for these (203.11, 203.15) to receive the light rays (203.6) like it is in this case with the upper flat mirror (203.15) receiving the light rays (203.6), and reflecting these (203.24) towards the lower flat mirror (203.11), which is comprised oriented in order to drive said light rays (203.27) towards the concave mirror (203.17) comprised on each system.
In this case, the solar light rays (203.6) are driven towards the upper flat light reflection mirror (203.15). Said mirror (203.15) is oriented and positioned, such that said light rays (203.6) are reflected and driven by said upper flat mirror (203.15) as straight and coherent light rays (203.24) towards the lower flat reflection mirror (203.11). Said lower flat mirror (203.11) then drives said light rays (203.27) straight and horizontally coherent (203.27), towards the concave mirror comprised (20117). Said concave mirror finally drives said light rays (203.9, 203.26) into a concentrated path, hence projecting the ones (203.9,203.26) into each other (203.9,203.26), towards the flat light ray collecting window (203.8). Once said light rays (203.9,203.26) are into the light driving pipe system (203.5), a convex mirror (203.19, 203.34) reflects the light rays (203.9, 203.26), such that these (203.9, 203.26) are now driven into a straight path towards the next concave mirror (203.30, 203.36) into said pipe (203.5). Said mirror (203.36) would drive said light rays, together with the previously collected rays along said pipe's (203.5) path, straight to a lower comprised convex mirror (203.34). Said convex mirror (203.34) would then drive the light rays straight ahead into the light driving pipe (203.5), with the pipe's (203.5) walls (203.13) protecting the light rays from any exterior interference that could damage these. The walled members (203.13) should preferably be opaque, and also protect the people around the system from any unwanted reflection or interference from said light rays into the outer environment of said light driving pipes (203.5).
The exterior sustaining members (203.10) sustain sets of perpendicularly projecting horizontal members (203.18) which sustain said light driving pipes (2015) rigidly into the required positions of projection. Similarly, said mirrors (203.11, 203.15) are sustained rigidly into position by said rigid horizontally projecting members (203.16, 203.28), which also attach to said sustaining member bars (203.10). So, said bars (203.10) sustain everything together. The light rays can be driven each time to a set of height adjusting mirrors (203.12, 203.38) in order to adjust the height of said rays before passing through the next light ray collection and concentration system. On the same pipe (2015) The start of a light driving pipe (203.5) comprises the horizontal members (203.4) starting to sustain said pipe's (203.5) walled surface (203.13) from outside from the start, and are sustained by the rigid member bars (203.10). The flat member (203.23) comprised over said concave mirror (203.17, 203.33) is positioned as required to avoid any unwanted matter or rain water from contaminating the surface of said concave mirrors (20117, 20333).
Said flat member (203.32) finishes at the supporting place (203.21) of said concave mirror (203.17,203.33). The convex mirror (203.25) is comprised in front of the concave minor (203.30) in each of said light driving pipes (203.5). The light rays (203.26) can be driven by said concave mirror (203.33) into the flat light ray collecting window (203.8). Whichever is the flat mirror (203.11, 203.15) which initially collects the solar light rays (203.6), said rays (203.27) are always projected towards the concave mirror assigned (203.17,203.33), in order for said mirror (203.17, 203.33) to then drive said light rays (203.9, 203.26) to the flat light collecting window (203.8). The piping member (203.35) projects said closed light driving pipes (203.5) towards the heat exchanger concerned (203.37). The flat light rays collecting window (203.8) comprises a wiper blade (203.14) which swipes it (203.8) from any unwanted dirt or water. The light rays adjusting mirrors (203.12) are sustained to said pipe wall member (203.13, 203.35) by a set of sustaining inner members (20129).
The concave minor (203.30, 203.36) can be comprised projecting always towards the rear of the light driving pipe (203.5). The concave mirror (203.30, 203.36) projects in front of said lower convex mirror (203.34), and can always be comprised behind said concave mirror (203.36), in which a set of adjusting mirrors (203.38) can be comprised flit- said light rays, before hitting said heat exchanger member (203.37). The lower concave mirrors (203.25, 203.34) always projects into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (203.5). The set of light rays adjusting flat mirrors (203.12, 203.18) should always be comprised of flat mirrors (203.12, 203.18), and should always be comprised behind the light ray receiving convex mirror (203.19), which receives the light rays (203.9. 203.26) from the concave mirrors (203.17, 203.33) comprised into the design. The wiper blade member (203.14) on said flat light ray collecting windows (203.8), is sustained by the sustaining member (203.22) to the rotational member, which is comprised on the light driving pipe's (203.5) walled member (203.13, 203.35). The concave mirror (203.30, 203.36), convex mirror (20125, 20334) and light rays flat adjusting mirrors (203.12, 203.28) can be comprised at any position along the light ray driving pipe, as long as said members (203.25, 203.24, 203.30, 203.36, 203.12, 203.38) are comprised into the light driving pipe (203.5) members, inside the walled surfaces (203.13, 203.35) comprised_ The heat exchanger system (203.37) collects the heat from the light driving pipe system (203.5), which project as close members (203.13,203.35) towards the very surface of said heat exchanger (203.37) comprised. Said heat exchanger (203.37) comprises two pipes (203.40, 203.41) which flow inside it simultaneously at the same time, through said heat exchanger (203.37). One pipe (203.40) collects the heat transmitted to said heat exchanger (203.37) and uses it to be driven into a driving pipe (203.31). Said fluid should be preferably water coming from outside the system, in order to be heated by said heat exchanger (203.37), hence finishing into said fluid driving pipe (203.31). Said fluid would hence drive a steam turbine (203.45). Said steam turbine (203.45) would simultaneously drive a member (203.32) which would drive a generator set (203.39) to generate electricity. Said steam turbine (203.45) should preferably be comprised inside a housing (203.46). Once done, said water is driven through an exit pipe (203.42) towards the outside of the system.
Simultaneously, another pipe (203.43) drives heat energy storage fluid by the means of a pump (203.44) from said heat energy storage area (203.48) to the entry area (203.41) of said heat exchanger (203.37). Once said fluid passes through said heat exchanger (203.37), said fluid collects the heat and is then driven through a back pipe (203.47), back to said heat energy storage area (203.48). At night time, when no light rays are present, the circuit flows into exactly the same manner, but with the heat exchanger (203.37) serving as the heat transfer and supply point. So, the hot fluid from the heat energy storage area (203.48) flows into said heat exchanger (203.37) by the means of said pump (203.44), where said heat is transferred to the steam turbine driving fluid pipe (203.40), which flows water into said heat exchanger (203.37), gets it heated, and drives the hot fluid (203.31) by a fluid driving pipe (203.31) to continue driving said steam turbine (203.45) as normal. This happens when no solar light rays are present. So, said generator set (203.39) continues to be driven as normal, without any solar rays at night, but with the heat energy storage by the heat energy storage area (203.48), where heat energy is collected into it (203.48) from the heat exchanger (203.37) for storage when the concentrated solar light ray source is available for said heat exchanger (203.37) by the means of said light driving pipe (203.5) members (203.13,203.35).
The light driving pipes (204.2) can project by the walled members (204.1, 204.6) of said pipes (204.2), to a set of flat reflecting mirrors (204.3, 204.7) comprised inside the walled members (204.1, 204.6) of said pipes (204.2), which act as reflection and driving mirrors (204.3, 204.7) and which can drive said light rays through said pipes (204.4,204.8, 204.15) laterally to another set of flat reflection mirrors (204.5). Said mirrors (204.5) would hence drive said light rays through a pipe (204.9) towards a smaller heat exchanger design (204.13) in design geometry, but which does the same function as the previously mentioned heat exchanger (203.37). The heat exchanger (204.13) exerts the same function, with the fluid driving pipe (204.12) passing through said heat exchanger (204.13), in order to collect the water to drive said steam turbine. One of the light driving pipes (204.15) can comprise a box shaped structure (204.10), which comprises sets of flat reflection minors (204.11,204.14) inside it (204.10), in order to adjust the direction and position of projection of said light rays. So, this design shows that said light driving pipes (204.2) can drive the light rays each into smaller pipes (204.4,204.8, 204.15) separately towards a much smaller heat exchanger design (204.13), where light driving pipes (204.9) which project towards said heat exchanger (204.13), are used to deliver the light rays to said system (204.13). The driving of the light rays is done in each pipe (204.4,204.8, 204.15) separately by the means of flat reflection mirrors (204.3, 204.5, 204.7) for each pipe (204.4, 204.8, 20415) separately and independently, as is required. So, the light driving pipes (204.9) drive the light rays towards said heat exchanger (204.13) by the means of said flat reflection minors (204.3, 204.5, 204.7). So, the advantage of this system is that with a heat exchanger (204.13) that is much smaller in design size (204.13), said light driving pipes (204.9) can deliver all the light rays to the surfaces of said heat exchanger (204.13), while keeping the size of said system (204.13) to its minimum. This means that less heat exchanger material will be used, and that the heat will be transferred easier and more effectively and efficiently to said fluid driving pipes (204.12), as the heat per surface volume inside said heat exchanger (204.13) is much higher, due to the higher pipe (204.9) concentrations per unit of volume comprised (204.13), supplying concentrated light rays (204.9).
The light driving pipes (205.6) of said light ray driving pipes (205.6), can all project separately into pipes (205.6) towards said heat exchanger (205.2). A pipe uniting member (205.1) can be comprised such that there is a commonly used space (205.4) in the volume where said heat exchanger (205.2) is comprised, such that said light rays pass from said light driving peeps (205.6) through said conjunction volume (205.4) before reaching said heat exchanger (205.2). The heat exchanger (205.2) can in this case be comprised of a Plano concave mirror (205.3) which is sustained by a set of rigid sustaining members (205.5) to the outer box structure's walls (205.2) of the volume where said heat exchanger (205.2), and hence where said Plano concave mirror (205.3), are comprised. So, said light rays are driven through said light driving pipes (205.6) directly through the empty area (205.4), to said Plano concave side (205.3) of said Plano concave mirror (205.3) of said heat exchanger (205.2). Said Plano concave mirror (205.3) hence concentrates said light rays even further towards the piping which projects and passes in front of the Plano concave mirror (205.3) of said heat exchanger (205.2). The fluid driving pipe is driven through said heat exchanger (205.2), and hence in front of said Plano concave mirror (205.3), where it then drives a steam turbine (205.7) which generates electrical power by driving a generator set. The water is then driven through an exit pipe (205.9), hence being driven by said pipe (205.8) out of the system concerned.
The advantage of this system design (205.2) is that all light rays can be more concentrated by said Plano concave mirror (205.3), hence maximising the temperature comprised on said fluid pipes that flow through the heat exchanger (205.2) in front of said Plano concave mirror (205.3). This would hence maximise heat transfer efficiency from said Plano concave mirror (205.3) to said fluid driving pipes. Also, less heat losses will be present from said heat exchanger (205.2) due to the small size of the fluid pipes, to which said Plano concave mirror (2053) projects the light rays to, compared to larger sized heat exchangers (204.13).
The light driving pipes (206.1, 206.7, 206.5) can drive said light rays to flat reflection mirrors (206.3, 206.4) comprised in front of said heat exchanger (206.10). In the space comprised (206.6) in front of said flat reflection minors (206.3, 206.4) to said heat exchanger (206.10), an empty space (206.6) is comprised (206.6) to leave the light rays pass through. The pipe unity members (206.2) are comprised in order to unite said piping (206.5, 206.6), comprised of parallel (206.5) and perpendicular (206.6) projecting positions and directions (206.5, 206.6) to said heat exchanger design (206.10), together in front of said heat exchanger (206.10). The flat reflection mirrors (206.3, 206.4) hence drive the light rays through the empty space area (206.6) towards the heat exchanger concerned (206.10). In this case, said heat exchanger (206.10) is comprised with a concave mirror (206.9) positioned behind it (206.10). This allows said concave mirror (206.9) to concentrate said light rays into a smaller heat exchanger design (206.10), not only by length but by height as well (206.10). So, said flat reflection mirrors (206.3, 206.4) drive said light rays through the empty uniting area (206.6) to the concave mirror (206.9) comprised behind said heat exchanger design (206.10).
Said concave mirror (206.9) then drives and concentrates said light rays towards the heat exchanger design (206.10) concerned. The concave mirror (206.9) is sustained into position by the walls (206.8) of the closed box (206.8) where it (206.9) is comprised. The light rays are hence concentrated to the heat exchanger (206.10), where both fluid driving pipes (206.11, 206.12) are driven, comprised of the water energy generating pipe (206.11) and the heat energy fluid storage pipe (206.12) together simultaneously. Both pipes (206.11, 206.12) are driven through said heat exchanger (206.10) simultaneously, comprised of both power generation pipe (206.11) and the energy fluid storage pipe (206.12) simultaneously. Both pipes (206.11,206.12) are driven through said heat exchanger (206.10) simultaneously, hence generating power and collecting heat at the same time. The light rays project under said heat exchanger (206.10) before being driven by said concave mirror (206.9). The concave mirror (206.9) projects directly frontally towards said empty area (206.7) of the system, where said flat reflection mirrors (206.3, 206.4) drive the light rays towards said concave mirror (206.9). So, both pipes (206.11, 206.12) can collect the concentrated heat from the concave mirror (206.9) when flowing through the heat exchanger (206.10) efficient)/ and simultaneously.
The advantage of this system design (206.10), is that said heat exchanger (206.10) collects the light rays of all the light driving pipes (206.1, 206.7, 206.5), concentrated all together by said concave mirror (206.9) into said heat exchanger system (206.10). Due to the lower size of said heat exchanger (206.10), said system (206.10) will be hotter, hence transferring more efficiently and effectively, the heat to the fluid pipes (206.11,206.12) than other larger heat exchangers (204.13). Also, the higher concentration of the light rays, reflected by said concave mirror (206.9), lifts the heat transfer efficiency from said heat exchanger (206.10) to the fluid pipes (206.11, 206.12), and less losses will be present due to the smaller size of said heat exchanger (206.10). This gives an advantage to said system (206.10) design, comprising a lower design size required.
The light driving pipes (207.1) can project into an open area (207.2), where said heat exchanger (207.4, 207.8) is comprised. Said heat exchanger (207.4, 207.8) is all close from the outer environment, by being comprised inside a closed box structure (207.13). This will maximise safety for the outer environment and the people comprised outside of said system (207.4, 207.8), as well as avoiding any outer dirt or environmental matter from contaminating the surfaces (207.4, 207.8) of said system (207.4, 207.8), hence minimising maintenance costs. The light driving pipes (207.1) comprise closed walls (207.3) which seal said system from the outer environment, hence minimising maintenance costs and maximising design safety. The side walls (207.5) unite said light driving pipes (207.1) into a closed member (207.2), which is open to all light driving pipes (207.1), but which is closed to the outer environment. The light driving pipes (207.1) hence drive the light rays (207.7) through the open area (207.2) to a flat reflection mirror (207.9) that is exactly aligned into position for each light ray (207.7) comprised. Said flat mirrors (207.9) are sustained by sustaining members (207.10) to the outer box walls (207.13) which seal the heat exchanger (207.4, 207.8) from the outside environment.
Said flat mirrors drive said light rays (207.7) downwards to the Plano concave mirror (207.4) of said heat exchanger (207.4, 207.8), which projects into an upward direction of projection. Said surface (207.4) of said Plano concave minor (207.4) then drives the light rays towards the flowing fluid pipes (207.11, 207.12), which flow through the heat exchanger (207.8) into a tubular structure (207.8) which comprises both pipes (207.11, 207.12) being comprised beside each other (207.11, 207.12) together. So, both pipes (207.11, 207.12) collect the required heat from the heat exchanger (207.8) by heat transfer simultaneously. Said light rays, driven by the lower Plano concave minor (207.4), supply heat to the tubular structure (207.8) into which said fluid driving pipes (207.11,207.12) flow and collect the heat simultaneously. The advantages of this system design (207.4, 207.8) are similar to the system previously explained (205.2), with the heat exchanger (205.2) comprising a Plano concave mirror (205.3). The Plano concave mirror (207.4) projects vertically upwards, with said pipe (207.8) being comprised over said Plano concave mirror surface (207.4). The fluid pipe (207.8) over said Plano concave mirror (207.4), is sustained to said lower Plano concave mirror surface (207.4) by the means of rigid sustaining members (207.6), which sustain said tubular structure (207.8) to said lower comprised mirror surface (207.4) at both sides (207.6) of said pipe structure (207.8).
The light driving pipes (208.2) can project into an opened area (208.4), which is shared by all light driving pipes (208.2) before reaching said heat exchanger (208.5). The light rays (208.1) are driven by said light driving pipes (208.2) to the flat mirrors (208.9). Said flat minors (208.9) are well aligned for each light driving pipe (208.2), and receive said light rays (208.1) accurately. So, said flat mirrors (208.9) can drive said light rays vertically downwards, to the surface of said concave mirror (208.7). In this case, the mirror (208.7) also project vertically upwards, and is this time only concave (208.7). The flat mirrors (208.9) arc sustained by rigid sustaining members (208.11), rigidly into position. The mirror (208.7) is concave, and will hence reflect the downwards driven light rays (208.8) by said flat minors (208.9), towards the upward comprised heat exchanger (208.5). As said mirror surface (208.7) is concave, the light rays (208.8) will be driven not only vertically upwards (208.8), but also towards the sides (208.8) from said concave mirror (208.7), towards said heat exchanger (208.5). Said system is calibrated, such that the mirror (208.7) drives said light rays (208.8) just into the required direction of projection (208.8) towards the heat exchanger design (208.5) comprised in the design. The heat exchanger (208.5) is sustained by rigidly sustaining members (208.6) to the upper surface of said concave mirror (208.7) or to the wall surface around said concave mirror (208.7).
The concave minor (208.7) projects vertically upwards, and said flat mirrors (208.9) are inclined at 45 degrees. The walls (208.3) of said light driving pipes (208.2) ensure that any environmental matter is separated from entering into said system, hence keeping all minor surfaces (208.7) clean and minimising maintenance costs, as well as any undesired light rays reflections from said system. The fluid driving pipe (208.10) can be driven through the heat exchanger (208.5) in order to collect the required heat to drive the steam turbine as required. The heat exchanger (208.5) is in this case much smaller in volume and size (208.5), thanks to the concave shape of the lower mirror (208.7). So, due to the concave mirror (208.7), said light rays (208.8) will be driven automatically towards the small side walls of said heat exchanger (208.5) design. The advantage of this design (208.5) is similar to that described previously (206.10), comprising a smaller heat exchanger (206.10) in size (206.10), to which all the heat of the light rays is transmitted, and which supplies the fluid driving pipes (206.11, 206.12) with the heat simultaneously. This heat exchanger design (208.5) exerts the same function, collecting all the heat of the light rays (208_8) driven by said concave mirror (2083), and transmitting said heat to the fluid driving pipe (208.10). Due to the much smaller size and volume (208.5) of said heat exchanger, said system (208.5) will be hotter with all light rays (208.8) being projected towards it (208.5), hence maximising the temperature of said system (208.5), and hence maximising the efficiency of the heat transfer from the heat exchanger (208.5) to said fluid driving pipes (208.10).
In said system of light driving pipes, a light driving pipe (209.2) containing the light rays coming from another solar ray collection and concentration system (209.2), can be driven into the light ray collection and concentration system (209.31) concerned. So, flat reflection mirrors (209.4) will drive the light rays of said pipe (209.2) into the required light driving pipe (209.31) for delivery. Said pipe (209.2) delivers the light rays sideways to said light driving pipe (209.31), where a flat reflection mirror (209.1) is comprised. Said mirror (209.1) drives said light rays (209.3) in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (209.31), towards a concave mirror (209.15) comprised in front of said projecting light rays (209.3), into said light driving pipe (209.31). Said mirror (209.15) concentrates said light rays to a lower comprised convex mirror (209.14), also comprised into said light driving pipe (209.310, which then drives said light rays into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (209.31). The flat mirror (209.1) is comprised in this case beside said convex mirror (209.14) if viewed from above. Similarly to the previous case a light driving pipe (209.12) brings the concentrated light rays from another solar ray collection system, such that said pipe (209.12) flows from the wound level surface, and can project vertically upwards (209.12) beside the light driving pipe concerned (209.31). So, a flat mirror can then drive said light rays into a pipe (209.11) sideways to the light driving pipe (209.31). In this case, like before, a flat reflection mirror (209.13) is comprised inside said pipe (209.31), in order to drive said light rays to the concave mirror (209.15). Said concave mirror (209.15) will then concentrate said light rays to the lower comprised convex mirror (209.14), which will then hence drive said light rays into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (209.31), but in a more concentrated manner.
The convex mirror (209.14) drives said light rays (209.16) into a focussed and more concentrated (209.16) manner after being concentrated by the concave mirror (209.15) onto said convex minor (209.14), hence then driving (209.14) said rays (209.16) into the direction of projection of the light driving pipe concerned (209.31). Like the previous system, from a top view, the convex mirror (209.14) is comprised beside said flat reflection mirror (209.13), although said convex mirror (209.14) is comprised at the bottom surface of said light driving pipe (209.31). However, due to the position of the two members (209.13, 209.14) concerned, said flat mirror (209.13) could also be positioned just beside or over said convex minor (209.14) comprised, into said light driving pipe (209.31). Another light driving pipe (209.6) can project vertically from the ground floor, and then drive said light rays through a pipe (209.5) to a flat reflection mirror (209.13) onto said light driving pipe (209.29,209.30). The light rays would then be driven to the concave mirror (209.10), which would concentrate said light rays (209.8) into the lower convex mirror (209.7). So, said convex mirror (209.7) would drive said light rays (209.9) into the required direction of projection (209.9), into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (209.29, 209.30) and into a concentrated manner, from said lower convex mirror (209.7). The flat reflection mirrors (209.1, 209.13) of both sides can be comprised beside said convex mirror (209.7), as said flat mirrors (209.1, 209.13) could be comprised on any position along the light driving pipe (209.29, 209.30), due to the positions of said members (209.1, 209.13) comprised when viewed from above.
A plurality of light driving pipes (209.2, 209.5, 209.11) can project into the light driving pipe (209.24, 209.31, 209.30, 209.29,209.37) concerned. This would mean that said flat mirrors (209.1, 209.13) can be comprised as larger mirrors at different height levels to the convex mirrors (209.7, 209.14), or be comprised over each other (209.1, 209.13) at different heights along the side wall (209.24, 209.31, 209.30, 209.29, 209.37) of the light driving pipe (209.24, 209.31, 209.30, 209.29, 209.37) concerned. The light driving pipe (209.2) can be driven under other light driving pipes (209.24) if that is required. One light driving pipe (209.24) can comprise a flat reflection mirror (209.17), which would drive the concentrated light rays, driven into the central area by said previously comprised concave mirrors (209.7, 209.14). So, said flat mirror (209.17) would hence drive said concentrated light rays into a lateral perpendicularly projecting pipe (209.18) to a set of flat adjusting mirrors (209.19). Said mirrors (209.19) would be used to adjust the height of the light rays, as these are driven from the lower position of said convex minors (209.7, 209.14). A set of flat reflection mirrors (209.20) can then drive said light rays to the position required, before driving the rays sideways into the lateral light driving pipe (209.31). Said light rays are driven into the light driving pipe (209.31), where a flat reflection mirror (209.21) drives said light rays into the direction of projection, and in parallel to, said light driving pipe (209.31). A concave minor (209.22) then drives the light rays towards said lower comprised convex mirror (209.23), which then drives said light rays in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (209.31), but along the lower surface (209.31) of said pipe (209.31), before a set of adjusting flat mirrors (209.36) adjusts the height of said light rays to the required height, ready for the next system to be driven through in question.
A light driving pipe (209.37) can comprise a flat reflection mirror (209.33), comprised along the central area of the pipe structure (209.37), where the convex mirrors (209.7, 209.14, 209.23) drive the concentrated light rays in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (209.37). So, said flat mirror (209.33) drives said light rays (209.35) in a concentrated manner, through a perpendicular projecting pipe (209.32). A set of flat light adjusting minors (209.34), adjust the height of said light rays (209.35). So, said light rays (209.35) are driven from one light driving pipe (209.37) to a sideways comprised light ray driving pipe (209.30, 209.31), through a pipe (209.32), such that a flat mirror (209.25) collects said light rays and drives these to a concave minor (209.28). Said concave mirror (209.28) concentrates said light rays to a convex mirror (209.26). Said convex mirror (209.26) drives the light rays (209.27) into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (209.30, 209.31), and hence under said concave mirror (209.28). A set of flat light adjusting mirrors (209.36) can then adjusts the height of said concentrated light rays (209.27) as required. The advantage of this design is that a minimum of curves are comprised, hence minimising the usage of light rays to the light driving pipes (209.35), while meeting the requirements to combine a plurality of light driving pipes (209.30, 209.31, 209.37) into one (209.30, 209.31).
The advantage of this system design is that the light rays can be concentrated into one light driving pipe (209.31) from one or a plurality of other light driving pipes (209.24, 209.31), hence bringing an improvement to the system (209.31) comprised. The flat reflection mirror (209.21) can be comprised beside or above said convex mirror (209.23), but that does not matter due to the members concerned (209.21, 209.23) comprised from a top view, beside each other (209.21, 209.23), but could be comprised at the same or different heights (209.21,209.23) to each other into said light driving pipe (209.31).
The light ray driving pipes (210.5, 210.6) can be comprised, such that one pipe (210.5) comprises a flat reflection mirror (210.1), in order to drive said light rays through a lateral pipe (210.2), towards said other light driving pipe (210.6). A set of flat light ray adjusting minors (210.3) can be used to adjust the height of the light rays, before these are driven by flat mirrors (210.4) to the flat reflection mirror (210.7) comprised in said other light driving pipe (210.6). The light rays (210.9) are then driven by said flat mirror (210.7) into the concave mirror (210.11), which concentrates said light rays into a lower comprised convex minor (210.8). Said convex mirror (210.8) then drives said light rays (210.10) in a concentrated (210.10) manner, through said light driving pipe (210.6). The light rays (210.10) are hence driven into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (210.6). Another light driving pipe (210.18) can comprise a flat reflection mirror (210.21), which drives said light rays into a pipe (210.7) after said rays pass under the concave minor (210.23) inside the pipe (210.18) concerned. This is to ensure that all rays are concentrated by said concave mirror (210.23) first, before said operation (210.21) is initiated. In said pipe (210.17), a set of flat light rays adjusting mirrors (210.19) can adjust the height of said concentrated light rays, before said rays reach the flat minor (210.16) comprised at the end of said pipe (210.17) in the other light driving pipe (210.26). As said rays are driven into another light driving pipe (210.26), said previous pipe (210.18) does not need to continue, and hence finishes at said point (210.25) of reflection, with an external member (210.24) comprised to sustain said pipe (210.17) into position as required.
The flat reflection minor (210.16) of the other light driving pipe (210.26), drives the light rays (210.20) to the concave mirror (210.14), which concentrates these rays (210.20) and the previously collected and concentrated light rays, into said pipe (210.26), to the convex mirror (210.12). Said convex mirror (210.12) then drives said light rays (210.13) in a concentrated and coherent manner (210.13), under said concave mirror (210.14), hence driving these (210.13) into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (210.26). A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (210.22) can adjust the height of said light rays (210.13), before said rays (210.13) are reflected by a flat mirror (210.28), and are hence driven through a light driving pipe (210.15) towards the heat exchanger. Because no pipe is comprised at the side of said heat exchanger duct, a flat walled member (210.29), covers the catty of said pipe to the heat exchanger, hence sealing it off. The light driving pipe (210.26) is sustained by exterior member bars (210.27) around it. The lateral pipe (210.18) ends with a horizontal member (210.25) being inserted at the point of reflection, to finish said pipe, and to sustain said sustaining horizontal member (210.24), which sustains said pipe (210.17) into place. The advantage of this design is that less piping is required when constructing the system, and hence a lower set of maintenance costs to said system is required, and hence a reduction of costs can be achieved. Also, the use of a straight pipe (210.17) which comprises the minimum of curves in order to maximise the energy supplied by said light rays (210.13), can be used in this system (210.17), hence giving a further advantage to this design (210.17). This system design (210.17) is hence able to comprise a plurality of light driving pipes (210.18, 210.26) being merged into one single driving pipe (210.26), and hence the merger of at least two light driving pipes (210.18, 210.26) into a single one (210.26).
The place ifjunction of the two pipes (210.18, 210.26) by the light ray driving pipe concerned (210.17), at the light driving pipe concerned (210.26) could comprise also a solar ray collection and concentration system comprised, but can also be left empty, according to customer requirements.
The light rays of light driving pipe (211.19), can be driven by a flat reflection mirror into a laterally projecting pipe (211.21), as explained into the previous case The light rays of said pipe (211.19) will in this case be initially merged into the lateral light driving pipe (211.9), which projects perpendicularly to the light driving pipe (211.19). Said light driving pipe (211.9) can in Mm comprise a flat reflection mirror (211.10) which would reflect and drive said light rays (211.14) into a straight (211.11) and perpendicularly projecting pipe (211.11). This is done after said light rays (211.14) are reflected by a flat mirror (211.10), and driven into said pipe (211.11) as reflected light rays (211.14) while being comprised into a concentrated and coherent manner (211.14). Said light driving pipe (211.9) hence finishes with the lateral wall (211.20) of said piping structure (211.11), finishing said pipe and projecting into said pipe (211.11) with said relltzted light rays (211.14). The light driving pipe (211.9) is sustained by externally positioned sustaining bars (211.18), which sustain the horizontal members (211.15) which are comprised at the finishing point (211.20) of said light driving pipe (211.9). The external walled surface (211.20) of said light driving pipe (211.11) which drives said light rays (211.14), can be sustained into position by a horizontal member (211.13), which attaches said lateral walled surface (211.20) to the horizontal sustaining member (211.15), which is in turn sustained into position by the laterally projecting sustaining side bars (211.18) of said light driving pipe (211.9). The place where said two pipes (211.9, 211.19) merge into one light driving pipe (211.9) by said lateral light driving pipe (211.10), could comprise also a solar ray collection and concentration system in said place, but this depends however on customer requirements.
The flat reflection mirror (211.10) of said light driving pipe (211.9), drives the light rays (211.14) again laterally through a light driving pipe (211.11) with said walled surfaces (211.20) projecting with said pipe (211.11). Said pipe (211.11) hence deliver the light rays (211.14) to another flat reflection mirror (211.1) in still another light driving pipe (211.8). In said pipe (211.8), the light rays (211.12) are driven in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said pipe (211.8) by said flat mirror (211.1). The concave mirror (211.5) then concentrates said light rays (211.3), along with the other rays concentrated by said system, towards a lower comprised convex mirror (211.2). So, said convex mirror (211.2) then drives said light rays (211.4) under said concave mirror (211.5) and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (211.8). So, the light rays (211.12) driven towards said concave mirror (211.5) by said flat reflection mirror (211.1), are always reflected and driven towards said convex mirror (211.2) as required. The concave (211.5) and convex (211.2) mirrors, are comprised inside the tubular structure (211.8) of said light driving pipe (211.8), hence being able to concentrate all light ray sets at the same time with the concave mirror (211.5).
The concave mirror (211.5) is much larger in vertical size than the convex mirror (211.2) in order to achieve this. The convex mirror (211.2) is comprised along the lower surface, such that the light rays (211.4) are driven under said concave mirror (211.5). A set of flat light adjusting mirrors (211.6) can be comprised to adjust the height of said light rays (211.4). Flat mirrors then drive said light rays (211.4) to the heat exchanger (211.7). As no lateral light driving pipes are driven towards said heat exchanger (211.7) in this case, flat members (211.16, 211.17) seal the entry off from the outer world, in order to maximise safety for people in the outside, and minimise damage to the environment. Also, said system (211.16, 211.17) minimises maintenance costs by avoiding any environmental matter or water to be comprised along the surfaces of said mirrors (211.6) inside the system. The advantage of this system design, is that a plurality of light driving pipes (211.8, 211.9,211.19) can be merged into just one light driving pipe (211.8), hence minimising the piping required at the construction of the site, and hence also minimising construction and maintenance costs. By using straight pipes (211.11), the energy of the light rays (211.14) is maximised, as the number of mirrors required to drive said light rays (211.3, 211.4, 211.12,211.14) is kept to a minimum, hence maximising the energy heat supply by said light rays (211.3, 211.4, 211.12, 211.14).
The light ray collection and concentration system (212.7) can be comprised including light driving pipes (212.11, 212.20) which transfer the light rays in a concentrated manner, from light driving pipe (212.16, 212.21, 212.6) to light driving pipe (212.21,212.6), such that a plurality of light rays can be merged into a single light driving pipe (212.7), while still keeping the collecting and concentration of solar light rays active, as the view is moved from the light driving pipes (212.11, 212.20) towards the heat exchanger. So, a light driving pipe (212.16) structure, can comprise a concave mirror (212.18), which concentrates said light rays into a convex mirror (212.17), which would then drive said light rays under said concave mirror (212.18). In a concentrated manner, said light rays can be reflected to the side by a flat reflection mirror (212.19). Said light rays are hence driven into a light driving pipe (212.20). The outer wall surface (212.22) of the pipe can seal it off, as no light rays are able to continue through to the light driving pipe (212.23). So, the solar ray collection and concentration is initiated again from said point (212.22).
The light driving pipe (212.20), drives the light rays to another light driving pipe (212.21). Said pipe (212.21) comprises the same components, in order to repeat the same process again, and to drive the light rays again into a light driving pipe (212.11) laterally. Said pipe (212.11) adjusts the position of horizontal projection by using flat reflection mirrors (212.10). The height of projection of said light rays, is adjusted by a set of flat light adjustment mirrors (212.12). Said light driving pipe (212.11) drives said light rays to a flat reflection mirror (212A) of the other light driving pipe. In said pipe, the flat mirror (212.1) drives the light rays to a concave mirror (212.4). Said concave minor (212.4) concentrates said light rays to the convex mirror (212.2). The convex mirror (212.2) drives said light rays (212.3) in a concentrated manner under the concave minor (212.4). The light rays (212.3) can hence be reflected again by a flat reflection mirror (212.5) into a light driving pipe. Said pipe drives said light rays again laterally towards another light driving pipe (212.6). Into said pipe volume (212.6), the same components are comprised, and the process can be produced again, to concentrate all light rays (212.3) into a single concentrated light ray beam. So, the light rays can be driven into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (212.6), hence flowing into the light driving pipe (212.7) in a coherent and concentrated manner.
The light driving pipe (212.13) can, along with at least one or a plurality of light driving pipes (212.23), be driven towards a concave mirror (212.24). Said concave minor (212.24) would hence concentrate said light rays even further towards a lower comprised convex mirror (212.15). Said convex mirror (212.5) can hence drive the light rays (212.9) in a more coherent and concentrated manner (212.9) under said concave mirror (212.24) comprised. The light rays (212.9) can be reflected by a flat reflection mirror (212.8) in order for said rays (212.9) to supply the heat to the heat exchanger. A pipe unity member (212.14) can be comprised in order to unite the light driving pipe (212.13) with one or more other light driving pipes (212.23) in order to create an empty area where said concave (212.24) and convex (212.15) mirrors are comprised.
The advantage of this design system (212.11, 212.20) is that the light rays of a plurality of light driving pipes (212.6, 212.16, 212.21) can be comprised into one light driving pipe (212.7) in a coherent and concentrated manner, while the solar light ray collection and concentration can continue after passing said light reflecting mirrors (212.5, 212.19) and said light driving pipes (212.11, 212.20), as well as concentrating the light rays of a plurality of light driving pipes (212.13, 212.23) into a single light ray (212.9), which can be driven in a concentrated and coherent manner (2129) by flat minors (212.8) towards said heat exchanger.
The light driving pipes (212.11, 212.20) are configured, such that each time, a set of flat reflection mirrors (212.10) align said light rays (212.3) in order for these (212.3) to be projected into the next light driving pipes (212.11, 212.20), before being projected through said concave (212.4, 212.18) and convex (212.2,212.17) minors. So, the light rays (212.3) have the chance to be concentrated by a set of flat reflection mirrors (212.10) into said pipes (212.11, 212.20) before being driven under the concave mirrors (212.4, 212_18) and continuing the journey in a coherent and concentrated manner (212.3). This allows said light rays (212.3) to be well concentrated and coherent (212.3) before continuing into the next light driving pipe (212.11,212.20). The advantage of this system design (212.11, 212.20), is that a plurality of light driving pipes (212.6, 212.16, 212.21) can be comprised into one (212.7), before reaching said heat exchanger.
A set of light driving pipes (213.1, 213.4, 213.5) can be comprised, featuring said light driving pipes (213.18) which drive the light rays of one pipe (213.14) into the next (213.15), until reaching said main light driving pipe (213.1), such that after passing through the mirrors, said light rays (213.3) can be driven into said light driving pipe (213.4), and hence towards said heat exchanger (213.7) by a light driving pipe (213.5). Said system offers the advantage to merge all light driving pipes (213.1, 213.4,213.5) into one (213.4) before reaching said heat exchanger (213.7) through a light driving pipe (213.5). No light ray collection is continued after said light ray reflection (213.12) by said flat reflection mirrors (213.12), hence flowing into the laterally projecting light driving pipe (213.11, 213.19). Said pipes (213.11, 213.19) drive said light rays from one light driving pipe (213.14) to the next (213.15). The light driving pipes are configured, such that each time, a set of flat reflection mirrors (213.16,213.17) align said light rays in order for these to be projected into the next light driving pipes (213.1, 213.15), before being projected through said concave and convex mirrors. So, the light rays have the chance to be concentrated into said pipes (213.1, 213.4, 213.5) before being driven under the concave mirrors and continuing the joumey in a coherent and concentrated manner (213.3). The advantage of this system design (213.18), is that a plurality of light driving pipes (213.1, 213.14, 213.15) can be comprised into one (213.4), before reaching said heat exchanger (213.7).
So, the light rays of a light driving pipe (213.14), are reflected laterally by a flat mirror, into a light driving pipe (213.18). The lateral walled surface (213.19) seals off the pipe (213.19), and drives said light rays into said pipe (213.18). The horizontal member (213.20) closes off the pipe projection. The light rays are driven to a set of flat reflection mirrors (213.16, 213.17), which align the light rays, such that these are projected into the next light driving pipe (213.15), but in front of the in pipe (213.15) comprised concave mirror. A flat reflection mirror (213.12) restarts the same process. The outer wall surface (213.11) of the pipe, seals it off.
The horizontal member (213.13) can attach to a sustaining member (213.10), which sustains said pipe (213.11) to said member (213.13). Said processes are repeated again until said light rays, reach the final light driving pipe (213.1). In said pipe, a flat reflection mirror (213.2) drives said light rays to said concave mirror. After the concentration process is complete, said light rays (213.3) project in a concentrated manner through the light driving pipe (213.4). Said pipe (213.4) can also comprise a solar light my collection and concentration systems, if place allows. The light rays (213.3) are hence driven by a light driving pipe (213.5) to a flat reflection mirror (213.6), which drives the light rays (213.3) to be concentrated into said heat exchanger system (213.7). The casing (213.8, 213.9) where the heat exchanger (213.7) is comprised, features closed side walls (213.8, 213.9) in order to seal the inner volume from the outside, hence minimising damage to said heat exchanger (213.7) from outer water or environmental features, as well as maximising safety for people and minimising maintenance costs. Another advantage of this design (213.18) is that only one light driving pipe (213.5), drives the light rays (213.3) to the heat exchanger (213.7), hence minimising the piping (213.5) used, and hence minimising construction costs.
A light driving pipe (214.20) can project towards a flat reflection mirror (214.21). So, the concentrated light rays will be driven (214.21) by said flat mirror (214.21) inside said pipe (214.20), through a sideways projecting light driving pipe (214.22). A set of flat reflection mirrors (214.23, 214.25), drives the light rays into said light driving pipe (214.24), such that said light rays are driven perpendicularly to the next light driving pipe (214.11). Hence, said light rays are driven sideways to said light driving pipe (214.11), where a flat reflection mirror (214.13), drives said light rays to the concave mirror (214.16). Care is taken for said light driving pipe (214.24) to be driven to said light driving pipe (214.11), but behind said concave mirror (214.16) being comprised. So, the concave mirror (214.16) concentrates the light rays towards the lower comprised convex mirror (214.14), which can hence then drive said light rays (214.15) in a concentrated manner under said concave mirror (214.16). So, said light rays will be ready to be driven into the next light driving pipe (214.17). The light driving pipe (214.26) of the initial set of light driving set (214.20), can still collect and concentrate solar rays as required after said light ray driving pipe (214.22) is comprised, hence continuing with the same process on the next light driving pipe (214.26) comprised. The concave mirror (214.12) is comprised after each light ray collection and concentration system in question.
The light driving pipe (214.17) drives the light rays to the next light driving pipe (2141), such that said pipe (214.18) is projected in front of the concave mirror comprised. A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (214.19), adjust the height of the light rays as required, before these enter into the next light driving pipe (214.2). So, the process can be initiated again, with a flat reflection mirror (214.3) in the light driving pipe (2142), driving said light rays (2143) into a light driving pipe (214.6). The lateral surface of the wall (214.4) seals off said pipe inside the light driving pipe (214.2), as all light rays are driven through the light driving pipe (214.6) in question, After said point (214.4), said light driving pipe (214.10) can continues the solar light ray collection and concentration process, as required. Said light driving pipe (214.6), drives the light rays to a flat reflection mirror (214.7) inside the next light driving pipe (214.1). Said flat mirror (214.7) is comprised in front of the concave mirror (214.9) that is comprised.
So, the flat mirror (214.7) drives the light rays to the surface of said concave mirror (214.9), which concentrates said light rays to the convex mirror. So, said light rays (214.8) ca be driven under the concave mirror (214.9) in a coherent and concentrated manner, towards the heat exchanger through the light driving pipe (214.1). The advantage of this design concept (214.17), is that a plurality of light driving pipes (214.1, 214.2,214.11, 214.20) can be concentrated into one (214.1) from a light ray (214.5, 214.8) concentration point of view (214.5, 214.8), without impeding the light driving pipes (214.10, 214.26) from continuing with the solar ray collection and concentration strategies separately, independently of the positions of the light driving pipes (214.22, 214.17, 214.6) comprised along said light driving pipes (214.1, 214.2,214.10, 214.11, 214.20,214.26). The light driving pipes (214.1, 214.2, 214.10, 214.11, 214.20, 214.26) can hence continue with the duties of light ray collection onto said pipes (214.1, 214.2, 214.10, 214.11, 214.20, 214.26) before (214.1, 214.2, 214.11, 214.20) or after (214.1, 214.10, 214.26) said light rays pipes (214.22, 214.17, 214.6) are comprised into said pipes (214.1, 214.2, 214.10,214.11, 214.20, 214.26).
The light driving pipes (215.1,215.11, 215.20) can be comprised such that said pipes (215.1, 215.11,215.20) are reflected by flat mirrors (215.3, 215.17, 215.23) into light driving pipes (215.6, 215.24, 215.27) from one pipe (215.1, 215.11,215.20) to the next (215.1, 215.11, 215.20), until reaching the final light driving pipe (215.2). In said light driving pipe (215.2), a flat mirror (215.7) drives the light rays (215.9) in a concentrated manner (215.9) from said other pipes (215.1, 215.11, 215.20), through the light driving pipe (215.8) towards the heat exchanger by a light driving pipe (215.10). So, in this case, the light driving pipes (215.1, 215.11, 215.20) do not need to continue projecting their paths (215.1, 215.11,215.20). A light driving pipe (215.20), drives light rays towards a concave mirror (215.22), which concentrates these towards a lower comprised convex mirror (215.21). Said convex mirror (215.21) drives said light rays under said concave mirror (215.22) to a flat reflection mirror (215.23), which is comprised after said concave mirror (215.22), in order for the light rays to be concentrated all together by said concave mirror (215.22) and then be driven into the direction of projection of said pipe (215.20) by said convex mirror (215.21), before reaching said flat mirror (215.23). The flat mirror (215.23) drives the light rays into a lateral light driving pipe (215.24). Said pipe (215.24) comprises a perpendicular member (215.27) to drive said light rays as required by flat reflection mirrors. The light driving pipe (215.25) driving the light rays from other systems into this one, can project under (215.25) said light driving pipe (215.20).
The external wall subsurface (215.26) of the light driving pipe (215.24), can be sustained into position by a member (215.28), which is sustained to the sustaining horizontally projecting member (215.29) at the end of the light driving pipe (215.20). The light driving pipe (215.27) enters into the next light driving pipe (215.11), but with the flat mirror (215.12) comprised just before said concave mirror (215.15) is comprised. So, the concave mirror (215.15) drives the light rays, driven by said flat mirror (215.12), into a lower positioned convex mirror (215.13). The light rays (215.14) are hence driven in a concentrated manner (215.14) under said concave mirror (215.15), to a flat reflection mirror (215.17), which drives said light rays (215.16) back laterally into a light driving pipe. Said pipe will drive said light rays (215.16) to the next light driving pipe (215.1). The light driving pipe (215.27) is sustained into position by a member (215.30), which is sustained by a horizontally projecting member (215.31). A horizontal member (215.18) is sustained at the end of the light driving pipe (215.11) concerned. As viewed from above, said flat mirror (215.12) is comprised just beside said convex mirror (215.13) but along the same vertical position as said convex mirror (215.13), said flat reflection mirror (215.12) can be comprised anywhere without the need to adjust the height of projection of said light rays in said pipe (215.27).
The light rays (215.16) are driven through a set of flat adjusting mirrors (215.19) to adjust the height of projection of said light rays, only if that is required. After entering and completing the concentration process into said new light driving pipe (215.1), said light rays are driven by another flat reflection mirror (215.3) back into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (215.4), which seals off the light driving pipe (215.1) from projecting. A horizontal member (215.5) is comprised at the end of the light driving pipe (215.1). Said pipe (215.4), drives the light rays along the pipe body (215.6) until reaching the flat reflection mirror (215.7) at the last light driving pipe (215.2). So, the light rays (215.9) can be driven in a concentrated manner (215.9), into the light driving pipe (215.8), which can still comprise solar ray concentration and collection systems, as required. A light driving pipe (215.10) drives said light rays (215.9) to the heat exchanger comprised.
The light driving pipes (216.11, 216.1,216.19) can comprise light driving pipes (216.22, 216.18) that transfer the light rays into the direction of projection of said pipes (216.11,216.1, 216.19), from one pipe (216.11,216.1, 216.19) to the other (216.11,216.1, 216.19), as well as light driving pipes (216.10) which just transfer the light rays at the same level, from pipe (216.1) to pipe (216.11). The advantage of this design (216.11) is the flexibility to use the two types of pipes (216.11,216.1, 216.19, 216.10) in the same solar ray collection and concentration system design (216.11), as required. A light driving pipe (216.19) can be projected into the direction of projection towards the heat exchanger. So, as always, a concave mirror (216.20) is comprised to concentrate the light rays towards the convex mirror, before any operation is to be performed. A flat reflection mirror (216.21) drivees the light rays into a light driving pipe (216.22) laterally. After said light driving pipe's (216.22) point of lateral projection (216.21) of the light rays, said light driving pipe (216.23) can continue to collect and concentrate solar light rays as previously, as required.
Said light driving pipe (216.22) is projected into the lateral light driving pipe (216.26), which hence drives the light rays towards a concave mirror (216.15). A flat reflection mirror (216.13) can be comprised to collect the light rays which project from another light ray collection and concentration system, which projects through a light driving pipe (216.24) horizontally. Said pipe (216.24) is a follow up mode of the original pipe (216.25), which projects vertically upwards (21615) from the ground floor surface (216.25). So, the previously described concave mirror (216.15) does not only concentrate the previous light rays comprised, as well as those of the system in question of said light driving pipe (216.26), but also those of the laterally projecting light driving pipe (216.24). Said light driving pipe (216.24) projects towards a flat reflection mirror (216.13), which drives said light rays towards the concave mirror (216.15). As viewed from above, said convex mirror (216.14) and said flat reflection mirror (216.13) are not at the same vertical axis of projection, which means that said pipe (216.24) can project at any height into the light driving pipe (216.13) without needing to adjust the height of projection of said pipe's (216.24) light rays.
The concave mirror (216.15) concentrates all of the light rays towards the convex minor (216.14), which is comprised along the lower surface of said light driving pipe (216.26). The convex mirror (216.14) then drives the light rays in a concentrated and coherent manner, under said concave mirror (216.15), and hence towards a flat reflection mirror (216.16) in this case. Said flat mirror (216.16) drives the light rays laterally and perpendicularly into a light driving pipe (216.17). Said wall structure (216.17) of said light driving pipe (216.17) can seal off the projection of said light driving pipe (216.26), as all light rays are driven through said pipe (216.17). The light driving pipe (216.26) can continue with the solar ray collection and concentration system as required, with no relevance of said laterally and perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (216.17), hence offering maximum flexibility to the system design (216.26). Said light driving pipe (216.18) drives said light rays in parallel to, and hence into the same direction of projection, as the light driving pipes (216.1, 216.26) comprised beside it (216.18) on the two sides (216.1, 216.26). Said light driving pipe (216.18) drives, by the means of flat reflection mirrors, the light rays to a flat mirror (216.3) comprised into the side of the next laterally comprised light driving pipe (216.1).
In that case, the same operation is repeated as previously explained, with said flat mirror (216.3) driving said light rays towards the concave mirror (216.5), which is always comprised being positioned (216.5) after another light driving pipe (216.18) of another system (216.26), projects into the medium of said light driving pipe (216.1). So, said concave mirror (216.5) concentrates the light rays towards a lower comprised convex mirror (216.4). Said convex mirror (216.4) drives said light rays (216.6) in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (216.1) forwards. In this case, another flat reflection mirror (216.7) is comprised in front of said light rays (216.6), hence driving these rays (216.6) towards another laterally projecting light driving pipe (216.10), which projects perpendicularly to the light driving pipe (216.1). As said convex minor (216.4) projects horizontally (216.4), by driving the light rays (216.6) into the mid area of said lower area of said light driving pipe (216.1), said flat mirror (216.7) is comprised in the mid area of said light driving pipe (216.1). This point (216.7) is just in front of where said convex mirror (216.4) is comprised, in order to receive said light rays (216.6) frontally, directly from said convex mirror (216.4). So, said flat reflection mirror (216.7) can collect all concentrated light rays (216.6) being driven from said convex minor (216.4), and reflect these (216.6) as required without any problems. Said design is also comprised for the other convex (216.14) mirrors and the flat reflection mirrors (216.16, 216.21), which are respectfully comprised in front of said convex mirrors (216.14), such that said light rays can be reflected by said flat reflection mirrors (216.16, 216.21) as required.
After said flat mirror (216.7) drives said light rays (216.6) into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (216.10), said same light driving pipe (216.12) can still collect and concentrate solar light rays as required, without relevance of the very presence of said flat minor (216.7) and light driving pipe (216.10) comprised. The light driving pipe (216.10) drives the light rays. By flat mirrors, said piping structure (216.9) chives the light rays slightly behind the direction of projection of the two light driving pipes (216.1, 216.11) comprised at each side (216.1, 216.11) of said pipe (216.9). This is because said light driving pipe (216.9) is aimed at projecting said light rays into a flat mirror (216.8) of the next laterally comprised light driving pipe (216.11), but being comprised behind the concave mirror, as previously explained. So, said concave mirror can concentrate then, said light rays, into the convex mirror (216.2), which is comprised (216.2) lower into said light driving pipe (216.11), in this case beside (216.2) said flat reflection mirror (216.8). So, the light rays can then be driven by said convex mirror (216.2) through the light driving pipe (216.11) towards the heat exchanger. Said light driving pipe (216.9, 216.10) can be classed as just a transfer of light rays (216.6) from pipe (216.1) to pipe (216.11) with just a variation to avoid projecting into the concave mirror comprised, hence being a light ray (216.6) transfer type of pipe (216.9, 216.10) from pipe (216.6) to pipe (216.11) at the same level (216.9,216.10) of place.
Said light ray transfer types of pipes (217.6, 217.18, 217.23, 217.24), can be comprised as a plurality of pipes (217.6,217.18, 217.23, 217.24), transferring the light rays from light driving pipe (217.19, 217.8, 217.1) to light driving pipe (217.7, 217.1, 217.14), hence only being light ray transfer types of pipe (217.6, 217.18, 217.23, 217.24). Said pipes (217.6, 217.18, 217.23, 217.24) are only slightly shifted into the backward direction to the direction of projection of said light ray driving pipes (217.7, 217.1, 217.8, 217.19) in order for the light rays driven into said pipes (217.6, 217.18, 217.23, 217.24), to avoid projecting in front of or just into the concave mirrors (217.2, 217.15, 217.12, 217.20) that are comprised into said light driving pipes (217.7, 217.1, 217.8, 217.19). So, said system can be comprised into the design of solar light ray collection system comprised (217.7). The main advantage of this design (217.7), is the flexibility of usage of said light driving pipes (217.6, 217.18, 217.23, 217.24) being comprised at the same level of space, without obstructing any primary structures of the light driving pipes (217.7, 217.1, 217.8, 217.19). In this case, the main and primary member to avoid from being obstructed, is the concave mirrors (217.2, 217.15, 217.12, 217.20), which are a vital piece of material (217.2, 217.15, 217.12, 217.20) in order to concentrate a plurality of light rays projecting towards said mirrors (217.2, 217.15,217.12, 217.20), towards a lower comprised convex minor (217.3,217.4, 217.17, 217.25, 217.10). Said convex mirrors (217.3, 217.4,217.17, 217.25, 217.10) would then drive the light rays (217.11) into the direction of projection of said light driving pipes (217.7, 217.1, 217.8, 217.19) in a concentrated manner.
A light driving pipe (217.19), can hence (217.19) be projected into the direction of projection of the heat exchanger. So, said light driving pipe (217.19) can collect and drive the light rays towards a concave mirror (217.20), which will concentrate said light rays towards a lower comprised convex mirror. Said convex minor will drive said light rays under said concave mirror (217.20) to a flat reflection mirror (217.21). Said flat mirror (217.21) is comprised around the mid area of said light driving pipe (217.19), and so just in front of said horizontally projecting convex mirror. So, the light rays will be reflected by said flat mirror (217.21), and be driven through a laterally projecting light driving pipe (217.24). The external pipe's wall (217.22) can seal off the light ray access to the next part of said pipe (217.19), as all light rays are driven through said lateral light driving pipe (217.24). As the pipe (217.24) is only a light ray transfer pipe (217.24), the pipe (217.23) is only driven slightly behind the direction of projection of said light driving pipes (217.8, 217.19), in order for said flat mirror (217.9) in said next light driving pipe (217.8), to be comprised in front of said concave mirror (217.12). So, as the concave minor (217.12) should be comprised projecting towards said flat mirror (217.9), said piping (217.23) projects partly behind the direction of projection of said light driving pipes (217.8,217.19), hence bringing the light rays in front of (217.9) said concave mirror (217.12).
In said light driving pipe (217.8), the flat mirror (217.9) drives the light rays to the concave minor (217.12), which then concentrates said rays to a lower comprised convex mirror (217.10). The convex mirror (217.10) hence drives the light rays (217.11) in parallel to and into the direction of projection of the light driving pipe (217.8), hence driving said rays (217.11) under the concave mirror (217.12) in a concentrated manner. Said rays (217.11) are hence driven through the light driving pipe (217.13). Said rays (217.11) are driven under the next solar light ray collection and concentration system, comprised over said light driving pipe (217.14). In that case, the next concave mirror (217.15) again concentrates said light rays to a convex minor (217.25), which drives said light rays again under said concave mirror (217.15). So, a flat reflection mirror (217.16), comprised in the light driving pipe (217.14) as previously explained (217.21) in the previous case (217.21), reflects (217.16) the light rays (217.11) and drives these again through a light driving pipe (217.18), which projects perpendicularly to the light driving pipe (217.14). Said piping (217.18) slightly projects behind the direction of projection of said two lateral light driving pipes (217.1, 217.14), in order to bring the light rays slightly backwards. So, said light rays could enter into the next pipe (217.1), while being comprised in front of said concave mirror (217.2). The concave minor (217.2) inside said light driving pipe (217.2), concentrates said light rays to said convex mirror (217.17), which is comprised at the mid area of the light driving pipe (217.1), and projects horizontally into the direction of projection of said pipe (217.1), but under the concave minor (217.2).
At the next stage, the concave mirror concentrate the light rays to a convex mirror (217.4), which again drives these horizontally into the right direction of projection. A laterally projecting light driving pipe (2173), drives said light rays, partly behind the required direction (217.6) of projection (217_6), in order to access said heat exchanger, so that said pipe (217.6) projects with the light rays in front of the concave mirror. So, the concave mirror can concentrate the light rays towards the convex mirror (217.3), which would hence drive the light rays, in a concentrated and coherent manner, through said light driving pipe (217.7) to the heat exchanger. So, this system design allows to offer the flexibility to comprise various transfer types of pipes (217.23, 217.24,217.18, 217.6, 217.5), but while maximising the flexibility of usage of said pipes, depending on customer requirements.
The light driving pipes (218.22) of a solar light ray collection and concentration system, can drive the light rays into a plurality of light collection systems behind said light driving pipes (218.2,218.14) at the two sides, in order for said light rays to avoid the use of the mirrors comprised into said pipes (218.2,218.14), hence minimising light ray losing. So, the light driving pipe (218.22) can transfer light rays from one light driving pipe (218.14) to the next light driving pipe (218.2), while minimising the mirrors used, hence bringing an advantage to the design (218.11) concerned. A few in situ (218.9, 218.27) light transfer pipes (218.9,218.27), can be comprised in the system design (218.10), in order to transfer the light rays (218.6, 218.10) from pipe (218.2, 218.24) to pipe (218.1,218.14), so that the difference can be clearly seen on the design, as well as that flexibility of the two systems can be perfectly achieved in the same system design (218.11), comprising the transfer pipes (218.9, 218.27), the distance transfer pipes (218.22) in order to minimise light ray losing, as well as the flexibility to use the same pipes to still collect and concentrate light ray energy until reaching said heat exchanger (218.13), as required. With this design-(218.11), a light driving pipe (218.24) can transfer the light rays from that point up to the other light driving pipe (218.1) near said heat exchanger (218.13), while minimising light ray losing results (218.22) due to the very piping used (218.22).
A light driving pipe (218.24) can hence drive the light rays collected and concentrated by the system, towards a concave mirror (218.26), which drives the light rays to a convex mirror (218.25). After said light rays arc driven, concentrated under the concave mirror (218.26), the light rays can be driven through a light driving pipe (218.27), which moves the light rays in order for these (218.15) to be driven to a flat mirror (218.15) in front of said concave mirror (218.17). Said pipes (218.27) hence act as an in situ light transfer pipe (218.27). The flat mirror (218.15) drives said light rays to the concave mirror (218.17), which drives the light rays to the lower convex minor (218.16) comprised. So, the convex minor (218.16) then drives the light rays under the concave mirror (218.17) in a coherent and concentrated manner, such that a flat reflection minor (218.18) can drive said light rays into a light driving pipe (218.20). A horizontal member (218.19) can sustain said lateral pipe (218.20) into position. The flat mirror (218.18) projects just in front of the convex mirror (218.16), with both convex (218.16) and flat reflection mirrors (218.18) comprised along the mid area of the light driving pipe (218.14). So, the flat reflection mirror (218.18) can reflect the light rays as required through the light driving pipe (218.20) without any problems. The advantage that said in situ light transfer pipe (218.27) transfers the light rays in front of said concave mirror (218.17), is that said light rays, can be concentrated towards said convex mirror (218.16) by said concave mirror (218.17), such that said convex mirror will drive only one set of concentrated and coherent light rays to said flat reflection minor (218.18). So, the driving of said light rays through said pipe (218.20) will be much easier.
Said light driving pipe (218.20), drives the light rays along a plurality of light collection and concentration systems (218.22), such that said light driving pipe (218.22) drives said light rays to another light driving pipe (218.2) point of reception (218.4), but while minimising the use of flat minors inside said pipe (218.22) to drive said light rays, hence minimising losing of light rays. The set of flat adjusting minors (218.21) can be used to adjust the height of the light rays, if required. A horizontal member (2183) sustains said light transfer pipe (218.22) into position (218.3), as required. In the light driving pipe (218_2), at the point of reception (218.4), the light rays are reflected by a flat mirror (218.4) towards the concave mirror (218.7).
The concave mirror (218.7) drives said light rays all together towards the lower convex mirror (218.6). So, the convex mirror (218.6) can drive said light rays (218.6) in a concentrated and coherent manner (218.6), under said concave mirror (218/). So, again, a flat reflection mirror (218.8) can be comprised along the same mid area point as said convex mirror (218.5), hence reflecting said light rays into another light driving pipe (218.9). Said pipe is this time again only an in situ light transfer pipe (218.9), which transfers light rays from light driving pipe (218.2) to light driving pipe (218.1). The flat reflection mirror (218.8) is comprised in the same mid area as said convex mirror (218.5), hence being comprised (218.8) in front of said mirror (218.5) in order to efficiently collect and drive said light rays into the pipe (218.9). The light driving pipe (218.22), which transfers light rays down the system in order to minimise the losing of energy of said rays (218.22), is projected in front of said concave mirror (218.7). So, said flat mirror (218.4) is comprised in front of said concave minor (218.7).
So, the light rays can be all concentrated by the concave minor (218.7), such that said light rays (218.6) are then driven as a single and concentrated light ray beam (218.6) from the convex mirror (218.5). This makes the reflection of said light rays (218.6) by the minor (218.8) easy and functional. The light rays are driven by said in situ light transfer pipe (218.9), to the last light driving pipe (218.1), where after the concentration process, said light rays (218.10) can be driven in a concentrated and coherent manner (218.10), through the light driving pipe (218.11), into the direction of the heat exchanger (218.13). The flat mirror (218.4) can he comprised at any height along the light driving pipe (218.2), hence avoiding any adjustments in height to the light rays driven by said pipe (218.22) into said flat mirror (218.4), and hence into said light driving pipe (218.2). This is because the flat minor (218.4) is comprised beside said convex minor (218.5), but never under or over each other (218.4, 218.5), according to the system viewed from above, hence maximising flexibility to the system design (218.4), and allowing said flat mirror (218.4) to be comprised at any height (218.4) along the edge of the light driving pipe (218.2) comprised.
The heat exchanger (218.13) drives the heat transferred to it by the light rays (218.10) to the fluid driving pipe (218.12), which gets the fluid, preferably water, heated and then drives a reciprocating engine (218.23). In turn, said reciprocating engine (218.23) drives a generator set (218.28) to generate electrical power. The choice of reciprocating engine (218.23) or steam turbine, depends on the intensity of the light rays supplied by the system (218.11), and hence depends on the size of the system (218.11) used, as well as depending on customer demand and requirements.
The light ray collection and concentration system (219.1), can feature a set of concave (219.4,219.15) mirrors comprised projecting in front of the projecting light rays (219.2), which concentrates these (219.2) to a convex mirror (219.3), hence concentrating said light rays (219.2) into coherent and single beam projecting (219.8) rays. This can be comprised projecting (219.11) perpendicularly to the direction of projection of the light driving pipes (219.24, 219.25, 219.26). So, said light driving pipes (219.24, 219.25, 219.26) project perpendicularly to the light driving pipe (219.11) concerned, where concave minors (219.4,219.15) concentrate said light rays (219.2) to a convex mirror (219.3), after the projection (219.24, 219.25) and reflection (219.1) of the light rays (219.2) from said light driving pipes (219.4, 219.5). This process is repeated in a plurality of times, after each light driving pipe (219.4, 219.5) projects towards said pipe (219.11), and a flat reflection minor (219.1) projects said light rays (219.2) into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (219.11), towards the concave minor (219.4,219.15) concerned. The two initial light driving pipes (219.25,219.26) arc driven by flat mirrors (219.21), into the same direction, perpendicularly to said light driving pipes (219.24, 219.25, 219.26), in order to initially form the light driving pipe (219.11) concerned in this design, by uniting at least the two light driving pipes (219.25, 219.26), forming a plurality of pipes (219.25, 219.26), all together into the same direction of projection, forming hence said light driving pipe (219.11).
The advantage of this system design (219.4, 219.15), is that all light rays (219.2) of each light driving pipes (219.24, 219.25, 219.26), are concentrated again (219.4, 219.15) and again (219.4,219.15) by said concave minors (219.4,219.15), in a plurality of times. So, a single light driving pipe (219.11) can drive the concentrated light rays (219.8) towards the heat exchanger, such that said heat exchanger has only to deal with one pipe (219.7) which deliverers the light intensity light rays (219.7) to said heat exchanger body. All light rays of all light driving pipes (219.24, 219.25, 219.26) have been concentrated already into said light driving pipe (219.11) by said concave (219.4, 219.15) mirrors. This allows said heat exchanger to be small, and hence result to be more effective and efficient, from the point of view of temperature, and hence from the point of view of heat transfer.
A light driving pipe (219.26), drives the light rays to a flat reflection mirror (219.21), which are then reflected by said flat mirror (219.21) into a perpendicular direction of projection to said original light ray driving pipe (219.26). Said light rays are hence driven into a light driving pipe (219.23), which can comprise a set of flat reflection mirrors (219.17, 219.18, 219.20, 219.22), if any adjustment in position to the direction of projection of the light rays concern into said pipe (219.23), is required. So, the light rays are driven through the light driving pipe (219.19), perpendicularly to the next light driving pipe (219.25), which drives the light rays next into said pipe (219.11), hence forming said light driving pipe (219.11). So, both light driving pipes (219.25, 219.26) merge together into one pipe (219.11), hence forming the light driving pipe (219.11). The light rays are driven to a concave mirror (219.15), which drives and concentrates these to a convex mirror. Said convex mirror drives said light rays to a set of adjustment flat mirrors (219.14), in order to shift these to a side, such that the next flat reflection min-or (219.1) into said pipe (219.11), does not obstruct the light rays (219.13) concerned. So, the light rays (219.13) project into said pipe (219.11), in parallel to a flat reflection mirror (219.1), which is comprised into said pipe (219.11) as well, in order to deliver the light rays (219.2) of another perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (219.24), into said pipe (219.11) by said flat reflection mirror (219.1). So, said light rays (219.2), along with the previously concentrated light rays (219.13), project into said pipe (219.11) towards the next concave mirror (219.4).
Said concave mirror (219.4) hence drives the light rays (219.2, 219.13) and concentrates these (219.2, 219.13) towards a convex mirror (219.3). Said convex mirror (219.3) hence drives the light rays (219.10), in a concentrated and coherent manner (219.10), under the concave mirror (219.4) comprised. Both concave (219.4) and convex (219.3) minors, are comprised inside said light driving pipe (219.11), as previously explained. In said light driving pipe (219.11), a sct of flat adjusting mirrors (219.5, 219.9), adjusts the direction of projection of said light rays (219.10) to a sideways point of projection (219.8). So, at that sideways point of projection (219.8), said light rays (219.8) can project in a concentrated manner (219.8) through said pipe (219.11) beside the point of reception of the next perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe. Once the same process is again performed for this time, a flat reflection mirror (219.6) drives the light rays (219.7) into a light driving pipe, after at least one (219.24, 219.25, 219.26) or a plurality of light driving pipes (219.24, 219.25, 219.26), are merged into said perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (219.11). So, said flat mirror (219.6) hence drives these (219.7) to a flat reflection mirror (219.12), which would then drive these to the concave mirror in this case, which would then reflect said light rays (219.7) towards the heat exchanger. A flat member (219.16) can make part of said light driving pipe, and seal it off, as well as supporting the flat reflection mirror (219.12) comprised.
The light driving pipe (220.17) comprised on the previous design (220.17), can also project to the lateral side (220.3) of another light driving pipe (220.1) by the means of flat reflection mirrors (220.4, 220.6). The advantage of this design (220.3) is that all light rays of all light driving pipes (220.23, 220.24,220.25) which are concentrated by the concave mirrors into said light driving pipe (220.17), can be already driven to the flat reflection mirror (220.3) comprised at the last light driving pipe (220.1) comprised in the system (220.1). This means that the last concave mirror (220.7) of said light driving pipe (220.1), can concentrate said light rays, driven from said flat mirror (220.3), along with the other ones collected by said pipe (220.1), into a convex minor (220.2). So, the convex mirror (220.2) will drive a coherent and concentrated light ray (220.10) beam, towards the light driving pipe (220.12), which will hence drive said light rays (220.10) to the heat exchanger (220.14) as required.
A light driving pipe (220.25) can hence drive the concentrated light rays, from the light driving pipe (220.25) into a laterally projecting pipe, where a set of flat reflection mirrors (220.19,220.20) adjust the position of projection of said light rays horizontally, as required. The piping can comprise the required geometry (220.21, 220.22), in order to both support the lower flat mirror (220.19) with one sustaining member (220.21), as well as sustaining the initial flat mirror (220.20) by the other member (220.22) comprised. Said members (220.21, 220.22) seal off the piping as required. The light rays are hence driven towards said light driving pipe (220.17), perpendicularly to the light driving pipes (220.23, 220.24,220.25). A flat reflection minor (220.16) is comprised beside said light rays, which reflects the light rays from the next light driving pipe (220.24) into the merging light driving pipe (220.17), after being driven by said flat reflection mirror (220.16). The set of light ray adjustment flat mirrors (220.15) are comprised in the case that said light rays would need any adjustment from the height of projection point of view, before these get reflected by said flat reflection mirror (220.16). Said light rays are hence concentrated into a plurality of times through the light driving pipe (220.17), after each light driving pipe (220.23) projects perpendicularly to the' light driving pipe (220.17) concerned. Said light rays are hence driven through said pipe (220.17) until a flat reflection mirror (220.6), drives the concentrated light rays through a light driving pipe (220.5).
Said flat mirror (220.6) hence drives the light rays into a perpendicular projecting pipe (220.5), which projects slightly backwards to the direction of projection towards the heat exchanger. This is because then, another flat mirror (220.4) drivees said light rays through a perpendicular member (220.8) of said pipe (220.8) again to the flat reflection mirror (220.3) comprised at the last light driving pipe (220.1). This design (220.4, 220.5, 220.6, 220.8) is conceived such that said pipe (220.8) projects into the side of the last light driving pipe (220.1) by a flat reflection mirror (220.3), but where the light rays are driven initially to the concave mirror (220.7) for efficient light ray concentration. So, due to the fact that said light rays should not project towards said concave mirror (220.7) sideways, but in front of it (220.3), such that said light rays are driven through said contour of pipes (220.4, 220.5, 220.6, 220.8) described. So, the light driving pipe (220.8) drives the light rays to a flat reflection mirror (220.3) comprised into said light driving pipe (2201). Said flat mirror (2203) hence drives the light rays towards the concave mirror (220.7). The concave mirror (220.7) hence concentrates said light rays of the flat reflection mirror (220.3) and the other ones collected by the system (220.1), into a convex mirror (220.2). Said convex mirror (220.2) hence drives the light rays (220.10) under the concave mirror (220.7) in a concentrated light ray beam (220.10).
Both of said concave (220.7) and convex (220.2) mirrors, are comprised into the light driving pipe (220.1) concerned. After flowing under said concave minor (220.7), the concentrated light rays (220.10) are driven through the set of flat adjusting mirrors (220.9), only if an adjustment in the height of projection of said light rays (220.10) is required. After said operations are complete, said concentrated light rays (220.10) are reflected by the flat reflection mirror (220.11), and are hence driven into a light driving pipe (220.12) towards the heat exchanger (220.14). Said light driving pipe (220.12), drives said light rays to a flat reflection minor (220.13), which reflects these (220.10) and drives said light rays towards said heat exchanger design (220.14). In this particular case, said flat mirror (220.13) can drive said light rays to a concave mirror, which then concentrates said light rays (220.10) even further towards the heat exchanger concerned (2201.4). It all depends on the design and customer requirements to be followed for each solar light ray collection and concentration system design (220.23, 220.24,220.25). The heat exchanger (220.14) that is comprised into the design (220.14), is comprised with other components, such as the concave mirror if required, into a box type structure (220.18). This projects said heat exchanger design (220.14) from any outer environmental matter being deposited on the mirror members (220.13) of said system (220.13,220.14), as well as avoiding any rain water from coming in. Hence, not only said box shaped wall (220.18) protects the outer public from any hazard of the design concerned (220.14), but it (220.18) also minimises maintenance costs to the components (220.13, 220.14) comprised inside said heat exchanger (220.14) box (220.18) that is being comprised in the design concerned (220.13, 220.14, 220.18). The concave mirror (220.7) can be the last one comprised, of the light driving pipe concerned (220.1), or not, depending on design requirements from customers for the system (220.1).
The light driving pipes (221.9, 221.1,221.27, 221.33) can be comprised inside a solar ray collection and concentration system (221.9, 221.1, 221.27,221.33), which comprises light driving pipes (221.5, 221.8, 221.22, 221.20,221.36, 221.14, 221.32, 221.31) that drive the light rays (221.37) from light driving pipe (221.9, 221.1, 221.27, 221.33) to light driving pipe (221.9, 221.1, 221.27, 221.33). This design hence drives said light rays (221.37) into a plurality of solar light ray collection an concentration systems, as well as to the pipe (221.9,221.1, 221.27, 221.33) that the customer wants, hence offering maximum design flexibility. The advantage of this design (221.5, 221.8, 221.22, 221.20, 221.36, 221.14, 221.32, 221.31) is that the light driving pipes (221.5, 221.8, 221.22, 221.20, 221.36, 221.14, 221.32, 221.31) transport the light rays (22137) along said piping systems (221.5, 221.8, 221.22, 221.20, 221.36, 221.14, 221.32, 221.31), hence minimising the mirrors used by the system, and hence minimising the losing of energy of the light rays (221.37) being driven. This system (221.14, 221.32,221.31) also allows said pipes (221.14, 221.32, 221.31) to drive said light rays under another light driving pipe (221.13), and hence from pipe (221.27) to pipe (221.9) very functionally and efficiently, hence maximising system flexibility, and hence also offering a functional advantage on that point of view.
A light driving pipe (221.1) can be comprised driving the light rays towards the heat exchanger. The concave minor (221.2) will then concentrate said light rays, before these are driven to a flat reflection mirror (2213). Said flat mirror (221.3) reflects the light rays into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (221.5). Said pipe (221.5) projects perpendicularly to the light driving pipe (221.1). A horizontally projecting sustaining member (221.4), sustains said pipe (221.5) into the required position. A flat reflection mirror (221.6) drives the light rays into the direction of projection of the heat exchanger (221.8), and so between the two light driving pipes (221.9, 221.13), which are comprised at each side of said piping (221.8). A set of flat adjusting mirrors (221.7) can be comprised into said pipe (221.8) in order to adjust the height of projection of the light rays comprised, if required. Said pipe (221.8) hence projects between the two light driving pipes (221.9, 221.13) into a plurality of solar ray collection and concentration systems comprised. At the delivery point, a flat minor drives the light rays towards a flat reflection mirror (221.11) comprised inside the light driving pipe (221.9) concerned. In said pipe (221.9), the flat mirror (221.11) drives the light rays towards the concave mirror (221.12), which concentrates said rays towards the convex mirror (221.10). The convex mirror (221.10) drives said light rays back into the direction of projection towards the heat exchanger. So, the piping (221.8) drives light rays from pipe (221.1) to pipe (221.9), but avoiding the set of mirrors comprised when being driven into the initial light driving pipe (221.1), hence maximising light ray efficiency.
Another light driving pipe (221.27) of the same solar ray collection and concentration system (221.27), can collect the light rays, and concentrate these each time at the concave mirror (221.28) after each of said systems is passed under into said light driving pipe (221.27). The light rays can be reflected by a flat reflection mirror (221.29) again into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (221.31). As all light rays are reflected by said flat mirror (221.29), no light rays are required to continue flowing into said light driving pipe (221.27), hence meaning that said piping wall structure (221.31) can seal off the projections of said pipe (221.27) at the pint of transfer. The piping structure (221.32) drives the light rays to a lower point across said system (221.32), and hence closer to said heat exchanger. Due to the fact that this pipe (221.14) is driven under the parking direction of another light driving pipe (221.13), two sets of flat light rays adjusting mirrors (221.16, 221.30) are needed. The first set (221.30) is to bring the position of projection of the light rays down, in order for said light rays to be driven into said pipe (221.14) under the light driving pipe (221.13). The second set (221.16) is to bring the light rays back into the required light ray's direction of projection, such that said rays can be driven by said pipe (221.14) to the meeting point (221.17) at said light driving pipe (221.9). Inside said light driving pipe (221.9), said meeting pint comprises a flat reflection mirror (221.17) which drives said light rays towards the concave mirror (221.18). The concave mirror (221.18) concentrates said light rays towards the comes mirror (221.15), such that said rays can be driven in a concentrated manner through a set of flat light ray adjustment mirrors (221.19), in order to adjust the height of projection if required before said light rays are driven to the heat exchanger. So, the two flat sets of adjustment mirrors (221.16, 221.30) are used to pass said light driving pipe (221.14) under said light driving pipe (221.13), hence offering the possibility to go down into the number of systems required, but also passing under the number of piping systems (221.13) required, hence offering maximum flexibility to the system.
Another light driving pipe (221.33) can collect and drive the light rays into the light driving pipe (221.33) into said light driving pipe (221.33). The light rays (221.33) are driven to the concave mirror (221.34), which inserts said light rays to the convex mirror, before said light rays are then driven to a flat reflection mirror (221.350. Said flat mirror (221.35) drives said light rays (221.37) through a light driving pipe (221.36), with said light rays (221.37) projecting perpendicularly to the light driving pipe (221.33). As all light rays (221.37) are reflected by said flat reflection mirror (221.35), no need is there to continue the projection into said light driving pipe (221.33), which means that the outer piping member (221.36) closes the projection of said light rays (221.37) for said piping (221.37). The piping (221.20) drives the light rays (221.37) down into a plurality of solar my collection and concentration systems, such that energy is saved of the light rays comprised (221.37) into said pipe (221.20) due to the number of mirrors that arc avoided by driving said pipe (221.20) separately and beside said light driving pipe (221.27, 221.33) comprised, hence maximising efficiency of said light rays (221.37) comprised. A set of light ray flat adjusting minors (221.21) can adjust the position of projection from a height point of view to said light rays, before said rays are driven by said pipe (221.22) to the light driving pipe (221.27). Said light driving pipe (221.22), drives the light rays (221.37) to a flat reflection mirror (221.23) inside said pipe (221.27). So, said flat mirror (221.23) will drive said light rays to a concave mirror (221.26), which will concentrate said light rays towards a convex mirror (221.24). So, said convex mirror (221.24) drives said light rays (221.25) in a coherent and concentrated manner (221.25) under said concave mirror (221.26), and hence into said light driving pipe (221.27), towards the next concave mirror (221.28) comprised.
A reciprocating set of pistons (221.38) can be comprised in the place of the steam turbine, depending on customer requirements and of the intensity of the light rays produced, hence requiring just a reciprocating engine design (221.38) or more. The rotating set (221.38) attaches to a generator set (221.39) which produces electricity.
Thc light driving pipes (222.6, 222.1, 222.21, 222.16) can be comprised, with sets of light driving pipes (222.3, 222.19) which drive the light rays into a plurality of solar ray collection and concentration systems towards said heat exchanger, separately with said light driving pipes (222.6, 222.1, 222.21, 222.16) comprised beside said structures (222.3, 222.19), hence saving light ray energy. Also, said system (222.6, 222.1, 222.21,222.16) can comprise a light driving pipe (2227) which transfer the light rays (222.15) under the light driving pipe (222.13) that is laterally comprised. The advantage of said piping system (222.3, 222.19) is the same as previously explained, but the advantage of the other piping system (222.7) also comprised in this system (222.7), is that the light rays can be transferred from pipe (222.21) to pipe (222.6), while passing under the required light driving pipes (222.13), hence delivering the light rays (222.15) in front of the concave mirror of said last light driving pipe (222.6). This maximises design flexibility and light transfer according to customer requirements, as well as making sure that said light rays (222.15) are concentrated as required.
So, for this system (222.1), a light driving pipe (222.1) drives the light rays through a pipe (222.1) after collecting these, towards a concave minor (222 2), which will concentrate these to the convex mirror as required. Said convex mirror then drives said light rays under said concave mirror (222.2) to a flat mirror, which drives said light rays into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (222.3). The light driving pipe (222.4) which brings light rays of other solar light ray collection and concentration systems, can also be united to said light driving pipe (222.1) in front of said concave mirror (222.2), hence making concentration of the light rays easy, in order for the system to then drive said light rays as a single concentrated light ray beam, through said light driving pipe (222.3). The light driving pipe (222.3) is driven towards the heat exchanger with the two light driving pipes (222.6, 222.1) comprised beside it, such that at the end of said piping, a flat reflection mirror (222.5) comprised into said pipe (222.6), drives said light rays into the light driving pipe (222.6). Said system configuration (222.3) hence minimises light ray losing. Another light driving pipe (222.21), drives the light rays collected by said pipe (222.21) and also delivered by other light driving pipes (222.20) of other light ray collection and concentration systems (222.16), towards a concave mirror (222.22). Said concave mirror (222.22) hence concentrates all previously mentioned light rays, towards a convex mirror. So, the convex mirror can drive the light rays in a concerned manner under said concave mirror (222.22) towards a flat reflection mirror (222.11).
Said flat reflection mirror (222.11) reflects and drives said light rays (222.15) into a light driving pipe (222.12), which projects laterally and perpendicularly to the light driving pipe (222.21) in question. The wall structure (222.23) of the laterally projecting light driving pipe (222.12) can act as a sealing device to the projection of the light rays in said light driving pipe (222.21), as all light rays (222.15) are reflected and driven by said flat mirror (222.11) into said light driving pipe (222.12). The wall member (222.23) can also by the way act as a sustaining member for the flat mirror (222.11) comprised inside said light driving pipe (222.21) in question. The light rays (222.15) are hence driven through said pipe (222.12) in a concentrated manner (222.15). A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (222.14) can be comprised to change the height of projection of said light rays (222.15) if required, as said rays (222.15) are then driven under the light driving pipe (222.13) of another system (222.13). Sustaining members (222.10) can attach the horizontal sustaining members to said piping structure (222.12) in order to keep it (222.12) in a rigid and sustainable position. The light driving pipe (222.7), drives the light rays (222.15) slightly behind the direction of projection towards said heat exchanger, by the means of flat reflection mirrors, into an L-shaped (222.7) piping structure (222.7), such that said pipe (222.7) can be driven towards projecting at the next light driving pipe (222.6), but in front of the next concave mirror comprised in it (222.6). A set of flat light ray reflection and adjusting mirrors (222.9) can be comprised just before said light rays (222.15) are driven by said pipe (222.7) to the flat reflection mirror (222.8) comprised on the light driving pipe (222.6) in question. So, said mirror (222.9) are present in order for said light rays (222.15) to change the height of projection, in order to project into the proper height towards said flat mirror (222.8) of said light driving pipe (222.6). This is because said rays (222.15) had to be adjusted downwards in order to be driven under the fight driving pipe (222.13) of the other piping system (222.13) concerned. The light driving pipe (222.8) receives said light rays (222.15) of said pipe (222.7) by a flat reflection mirror (222.8) comprised in said pipe (222.6), which drives said light rays into the direction of projection of said pipe (222.6), and hence towards the next concave mirror.
The initial light driving pipe (222.16) of the entire solar my collection and concentration system (222.6, 222.1, 222.21, 222.16), collects ad droves the light rays from the sun, through the light driving pipe (222.16) towards a concave mirror (2221.7). After said concave mirror (222 17) concentrates said light rays into the convex mirror, said convex mirror can drive said light rays to a flat reflection minor, which in him drives said light rays into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (222.19). The external wall surface (222.180 of the light driving pipe (222.19) can seal off the light fly projection of said light driving pipe (222.18), as all light rays are driven into said laterally projecting light driving pipe (222.19). Said light rays are driven to the flat reflection mirror (222.20) comprised at the next light driving pipe (222.21) concerned. So, the concave mirror can concentrate said rays, before driving these into said pipe (222.21) to the next flat reflection mirror (222.11). So, the system can comprise various pipes (222.7, 222.12, 222.19) bringing light rays from pipe (222.16) to pipe (222.6), with a break at one light driving pipe (222.21), as well as a plurality of light driving pipes (222.3, 222.7,222.12), in this case two, which drive the light rays from a plurality of light driving pipes (222.1, 222.21) into one single light driving pipe (222.6), at various heights along the linear projection of said pipe (222.6). This hence brings maximum flexibility to the system design concerned (222.6, 222.21).
The solar light ray collection and concentration system (223.5, 223.13, 223.14, 223.17, 223.24), can be comprised with the light driving pipes (223.4) transferring light rays from pipe (223.13) to the lateral pipe (223.5), transferring light rays from pipe (223.24) to pipe (22114) passing under the mid light driving pipe system (223.17), be driven into a transfer pipe (223.29) from pipe (223.24) to pipe (22114) while being driven under the mid light driving pipe (223.17) comprised, as well as being a light ray transfer pipe (223.11) that drives the light rays (223.35) under a plurality of light driving pipe systems (223.14,223.17) in which the flat mirrors (223.10) are used to adjust the position of projection of said light rays (223.35), such that these (223.35) are projected in front of the concave mirror of the receiving light driving pipe (223.5). The advantage of said system design (223.5, 22113, 223.14, 22117, 223.24) is the flexibility offered to the customers for the design (223 5, 223.13, 223.14, 223.17, 223.24) concerned.
A light driving pipe (223.13) collects and concentrates solar light rays through its light driving pipe (223.13). A flat reflection mirror (223.1) then drives said light rays into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (223.4). Sustaining members (223.2) can sustain said light driving pipe (223.4) into the required position, by attaching said horizontal members to said piping (223.4) structure. The outer wall member (223.3) can seal off the projection of said light driving pipe (223.14), as all light rays are being driven by the flat mirror (223.1) into the laterally projecting light driving pipe (223.4). Said pipe (223.4) projects towards a lower point of reception along the light driving pipe (223.5, 223.14), after projecting in parallel to both of said pipes (223 5, 223.14) at each side of the pipe (223.4) comprised. So, said piping structure (223.4) drives the light rays to the neighbouring light driving pipe (223.5). By the means of a flat reflection minor (223.6), said light driving pipe (223.5) drives the light rays towards the concave mirror (223.7) inside said pipe (223.6), which then concentrates said light rays as required. This system (223.4) would hence save heat energy for the light rays due to the reduced number of mirrors comprised inside said pipe (223.4) for the light rays.
A light driving pipe (22111) can drive the light rays (223.8, 223.35) from a flat reflection mirror (223.36) inside a light driving pipe (223.24) to another light driving pipe (223.5) comprised at the other side of the solar ray collection and concentration system (223.5) comprised, by the means of a flat reflection mirror (223.9). A sustaining member (223.33) can sustain the piping structure (223.11) rigidly as required, by attaching said sustaining horizontal member to the piping structure (223.11) as required. The light rays (223.35) are driven through said pipe (223.11). A set of flat reflection mirrors (223.34) can be comprised to change the height of projection of said light rays (223.35) if required, as said light rays (223.35) are the driven under two laterally positioned light driving pipes (223.14, 223.17) in one go, hence being driven (223.35) under a plurality of light driving pipes (223.14, 223.17). This design (223.35) maximises the flexibility of the system design to customers. Sustaining members (223.22, 223.23) can sustain said piping structure (223.11) to the horizontal sustaining members of the two light driving pipe systems (223.14,223.17), rigidly as required. The light rays (223.8) are driven under said two light driving pipes (223.14,223.17), and can then be reflected into a slight backward path by said piping structure (223.11), by the means of flat reflection minors (223.10). So, said light driving pipe (223.11) can deliver said light rays to the light driving pipe (223.5) at the other side of the system (223.5) by the means of a flat reflection mirror (223.9), but being comprised (223.9) in front of the concave mirror, as required. A set of flat adjusting and reflection mirrors (223.12) adjust the height of projection of said light rays (223.8) after being driven under said light driving pipes (223.14, 223.17), such that said rays (223.8) can be projected towards the light driving pipe (223.5) as required. So, said light rays (223.37) can then project in a concentrated manner, towards the heat exchanger.
Another light driving pipe (223.24), can drive the light rays into a flat reflection mirror (223.25), which drives said light rays into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (223.28): A sustaining member (223.27) can be comprised to support said piping structure (223.28) to the sustaining horizontal member at the system of the light driving pipe concerned (223.24). The lateral wall structure (223.26) of the light driving pipe (223.28) concerned, can seal off the projection of said light driving pipe (223.24), as all light rays of said light driving pipe (223.24) are driven through said laterally projecting pipe (223.28) by said flat reflection mirror (223.25) that is comprised. As explained previously, the piping structure (223.15) projects into a plurality of light ray collection and concentration systems, in parallel (223.15) to the neighbouring light driving pipes (223.17,223.24). A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (223.16) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays, as these are then driven by said piping structure (223.18), under the light driving pipe (223.17) of another piping system (223.17). Sustaining members (223.19) can sustain said piping structure (223.18) rigidly to the horizontal sustaining member of the light driving pipe (223.17) concerned. As said light rays have been driven under said light driving pipe (223.17) by said piping structure (223.18), a set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (223.21) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays, before these get received by the next light driving pipe (223.14). In said pipe (223.14), a flat reflection mirror (223.20) drives said light rays in parallel to and into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (223.14). The advantage of this pipe's (223.18,223.15, 223.28) design, is that it offers the flexibility to not only skip a plurality of solar ray collection systems, but can also deliver the light rays to a light driving pipe (223.14) that is comprised Far from the initial light driving pipe (22314), as the light rays are driven under another light driving pipe (223.17), hence offering maximum flexibility of choice for customers.
Another laterally projecting light driving pipe (223.29) can project the light rays from the light driving pipe (223.24). A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (223.30) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays, as these are driven under another light driving pipe (223.17) by said piping structure (223.29). The piping structure (223.32) projects in parallel (223.32) to the directions of projection of the laterally comprised light driving pipes (223.14, 223.17), hence driving said light rays in parallel (223.32) to said light ray driving pipes (223.14, 223.17) through the light driving piping (223.32) concerned. A set of flat light ray reflection mirrors (223 31) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays after being driven under the previously mentioned light driving pipe (223.17). So, said light rays will be able to be driven without problems into the next light driving pipe (223.14). This design therefore offers maximum flexibility of choice for customers, as not only does the piping (223.29) project horizontally under a light driving pipe (223.17), but also then vertically (223.32) in parallel to the two laterally comprised light driving pipes (223.14,223.17). The light driving pipe (223.5) can comprise a plurality of at least two light driving pipes (223.4, 223.11) being delivered to said pipe (223.5), such that via the concave mirrors (223.7), said pipe (223.5) drives the light rays (223.37) in a concentrated manner (223.37) through said pipe (223.5) towards the heat exchanger.
A light driving pipe (224.1) can be comprised into one of the system's (224.1) pipes (224.1), which drives light rays collected by said pipe (224.1) towards the first concave mirror (224.2) comprised. After said concave mirror (224.2) does the concentration process, the light rays are driven to a flat reflection mirror (224.3), which drives said light rays into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (224.5). The lateral wall member (224.6) of the light driving pipe (224.5) can seal off the light ray projection of said light driving pipe (224.1), due to the fact that all light rays coming to said flat reflection mirror (224.3), are driven towards said laterally projecting light driving pipe (224.5). The convex mirror drives all the light rays into a coherent light ray beam, which were previously concentrated by the concave mirror (224.2), hence only comprising one light ray beam at the point of the flat reflection mirror (2243). Sustaining members (224.4) can sustain the piping structure (224.5) to the horizontal sustaining members of the light driving pipe (224.1). The piping structure (224.7) drives the light rays to a point of projection, at which said light rays can be delivered by said pipe (224.9), to the lateral light driving pipe (224.11) by said light driving pipe (224.9). A set of flat adjusting reflection mirrors (224.8) can be comprised if required, to adjust the height of projection of said light rays. This light transfer pipe (224.5, 224.7, 224.9) has the advantage of transferring light rays from pipe (224.1) to pipe (224.11), as required.
Another light driving pipe (224.36) can drive the light rays towards a flat reflection mirror (224.37) along the light driving pipe (224.36). Again said flat mirror (224.37) drives the light rays across a laterally projecting light driving pipe (224.40). The lateral wall member (224.38) can be comprised to seal off the light ray projection of the light driving pipe (224.36), as all light rays are driven by the flat mirror (224.37) towards a perpendicular light driving pipe (224.40). A sustaining member (224.39) can sustain said piping structure (224.40) to the horizontal sustaining members of the light driving pipe (224.36) concerned. This pipe (224.26, 224.40) offers a greater flexibility of choice to the customer, as said pipe (224.26, 224.44)) can be driven under a lateral light driving pipe (224.24), hence offering a greater flexibility. The piping structure (224.26) is driven towards a flat reflection mirror (224,27) comprised into another light driving pipe (224.25). In said pipe (224.25), said flat mirror (224.27) drives said light rays to the next concave mirror comprised. A set of adjustment flat reflection mirrors (224.28) can be comprised in order to adjust the height of projection of the light rays driven into said pipe (224.26), if required.
Another light driving pipe (224.13) can drive the light rays (224.12) from one light driving pipe (224.36) towards another light driving pipe (224.11), such that a flat reflection mirror (224.15) comprised into said pipe (224.11), can drive the light rays (224.12) to the next concave mirror as required. Said pipe (224.13) drives the light rays (224.12) under a plurality of light driving pipes (224.24, 224.25), hence driving said light rays (224.12) under said pipes (224.24, 224.25). As a result, a set of flat light ray reflection mirrors (224.41), is comprised (224.41) before said pipe (224.13) is driven under the two pipes (224.24, 224.25), in order to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (224.12) if required. After said pipe (224.13) crosses under said pipes (224.24, 224.25), another set of flat reflection mirrors (224.14) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of the light rays (224.12) inside said pipe (224.13), again as required, before said pipe (224.13) drives said rays (224.12) to said light driving pipe (224.11). Sustaining members (224.16, 224.30) can be comprised along the light driving pipes (224.24, 224.25), which sustain (224.16, 224.30) said piping structure (224.13) to the horizontal sustaining members of said systems (224.24, 224.25), hence sustaining said pipe (224.13) rigidly.
Another light driving pipe (224.32) can drive the light rays (224.31) into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (224.32) from the flat reflection mirror, comprised inside the initial light driving pipe (224.36). The concave mirror (224.42) can be comprised to concentrate the light rays (22431) before these (224.31) are driven into said light driving pipe (224.32). The lateral wall member (224.44) can seal off the projection of the light driving pipe (224.36), as all light rays (224.31) are driven through said laterally projecting pipe (224.32). This time, the pipe (224.32) is driven under the lateral light driving pipe (224.24), before said light rays are driven by flat reflection mirrors (224.33), into the piping structure (224.32), with both light driving pipes (224.24, 224.25) comprised beside said light driving pipe (224.32). Said pipe (224.32) can finally project and deliver the light rays (224.31) towards the next laterally projecting light driving pipe (224.25) comprised. As said pipe (224.32) is driven under the next lateral light driving pipe (224.24), a set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (224.43) is comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (224.31) before crossing under said light driving pipe (224.24). Similarly, after crossing under said pipe (224.24), said pipe (224.32) comprises another set of flat light ray reflection mirrors (224.34) in order to restore the height of projection of said light rays (224.31) back into order through said pipe (224.32), before said pipe (224.32) drives the light rays (224.31) to the next light driving pipe (224.25).
Another light driving pipe (224.47) can drive the light rays (224.48) from the light driving pipe (224.36) into a laterally projecting pipe (224.47). This is performed by comprising a set of flat light reflection mirrors (224.45) after said concave mirror inside said pipe (224.36), such that the light rays (224.48), in a concentrated manner (224.48), can be driven into said piping structure (224.47). The lateral wall member (224.46) of the piping structure (224.47), can seal off the projection of light rays (224.48) of said light driving pipe (224.36), as all light rays (224.48) are driven by said flat mirror (224.45) into said light driving pipe (224.47). Sustaining members (224.50) can sustain said piping structure (224.47) rigidly into position, by attaching said piping structure (224.47) to said horizontal sustaining member of said light driving pipe (224.36). A set of flat light ray adjustment minors (224.49) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (224.48) if required, as said light rays (224.48) are then being driven under a plurality of light driving pipes (224.24,224.25) by said piping structure (224.47). Sustaining members (224.21, 224.35) can sustain said piping structure (224.47) rigidly into position, by attaching said piping structure (224.47) to the horizontal sustaining members, which support said light driving pipes (224.24, 224.25) into position. Flat reflection mirrors (224.22) drive the light rays (224.48) into the piping structure (224.20), such that said piping adjustment (224.20) allows said pipe (224.18) to be finally driven towards the light driving pipe structure (224.11) as required. A flat reflection mirror (224.17), drives the light rays from said piping structure (224.18), into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (224.11), where said flat mirror (224.17) is comprised. A set of flat light ray reflection mirrors (224.19), can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (224.48), due to the fact that these (224.48) have been previously driven under the two light driving pipes (224.24, 224.25) concerned, hence meaning that said light rays (224.48) project below the required height of projection in order to enter into another light driving pipe (224.11) of another system.
The system (224.11) can hence comprise various light driving pipes (224.9, 224.13, 224.18) being delivered to said light driving pipe (224.11), hence making a plurality of light driving pipes (224.9, 224.13, 224.18) being delivered to one (224.11). This maximises flexibility of choice and design for the customer concerned. The light rays (224.32) can be driven into a coherent and concentrated manner (224.32) through said light driving pipe (224.11)10 the heat exchanger. As it is shown on said light driving pipe (224.36), a plurality of pipes (224.40, 224.13, 224.32, 224.47) can be driven out of said pipe, while shutting the projection of said light driving pipe (224.36) various times (224.38,224.44, 224.46) with said flat mirrors (224.37, 224.45) as required, for each light driving pipe (224.40, 224.13,224.32, 224.47), hence being stopped into a plurality of times (224.40, 224.13, 224.32, 224.47) according to the need of each light driving pipe (224.40, 224.13, 224.32, 224.47), hence maximising design and flexibility of choice for the design (224.36) concerned.
The solar ray collection and concentration systems comprised (225.2), can comprise light driving pipes (225.4, 225.8) which drive the light rays from a pipe (225.2) to the end point of the projection of another light driving pipe (225.1) by projecting over each other (225.9, 225.10) if required, as well as comprising light driving pipes (225.15) which drive the light rays (225.16) from any side of the light driving pipe (225.12) into the end point of projection of said pipe (225.12) by projecting towards the two sides (225.18, 225.19, 225.27) of said pipe (225.12) and over each other (225.18, 225.19) if required, as well as comprising light driving pipes (225.23) which again transfer the light rays from an initial point (225.20) to the end point of projection of said pipe (225.20) and projecting again over each other (225.25, 225.26) if required. The main and sole advantage of this design is that although the cost of concentrating the piping (225.4, 225.8,225 9, 225.10, 225.15, 225.18, 225.19, 225.27, 225.23, 225.25, 225.26) can rise the construction and maintenance costs of the system (225.2) comprised, the light driving pipes (225 4 225 8 225 9, 225.10, 225.15, 225.18, 225.19, 225.27, 225.23, 225.25, 225.26) drive the light rays (225.16) beside the number of mirrors comprised at each light driving pipe (225.1, 225.2, 225.12, 225.20), hence reducing the mirrors into which said light rays (225.16) have to be driven and reflected by, and hence minimising the energy losing of said light rays (225.16), due to the minimum number of mirrors being used. So, at a level playing field, all design (225.2) have got advantages and disadvantages, and are chosen or not according to customer requirements.
A set of light driving pipes (225.4, 225.8) can drive the light rays from pipe (2252) to pipe (225.1) in order to minimise light ray losing by avoiding the mirrors comprised on the light driving pipe (225.2) concerned. So, a light driving pipe (225.2) drives the light rays that it collected, through the pipe (115.2) towards the next concave mirror (225.3). After said concave mirror does the concentration job, a flat reflection mirror can drive said rays into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (225.4). A flat reflection mirror (225.5) can then drive said light rays in parallel to the two light driving pipes (225.1,225.2) concerned. Lower into the same light driving pipe (225.2), the light rays collected by said pipe (225.2) can again be driven to the next concave mirror (225.6), such that after said concave mirror (225.6) drives the concentration job, a flat mirror can drive said rays into a light driving pipe (225.8). So, both pipes (225.4, 225.8) project in parallel to the two pipes (225.1, 225.2) comprised at the two sides, until reaching the end projecting point of the lateral light driving pipe (225.1). At said point, both light driving pipes (225.9, 225.10), above each other if required, towards the light driving pipe (225.1) comprised. A convex mirror (225.11) can be comprised beside the flat mirror which receives both of said light driving pipes (225.9, 225.10) into the pipe (225.1). The light driving pipe (225.7) which brings light rays from other systems, can also project towards the light driving pipe (225.1). The set of flat adjusting mirrors (225.17) are comprised to adjust the height of the light rays after passing through each light ray collection and concentration system.
Another light driving pipe (225 12) can drive light rays from both of its sides (225.15,225.18, 225.19, 225.27) around both of its sides. So, a light driving pipe (225.12) can drive the light rays that it collected, into a pipe (225.12) to a concave mirror (225.13). After the concentration process is complete, a flat mirror can drive the light rays (225.16) towards a laterally projecting light driving pipe (225.15). As all light rays have been concentrated by said concave mirror (225.13) into a one beam light rays (225.16), all light rays are driven into the light driving pipe (225.15), which means that the wall member (225.14) of the piping structure (225.15) can hence seal off the projection of the light rays into said light driving pipe (225.12). The same process can be initiated again, on the two sides of the same light driving pipe (225.12) concerned. So, at the end point of projection, all pipes (225.18, 225.19, 225.27) drive the light rays (225.16) towards said light driving pipe (225.12), hence saving light ray energy by minimising the amount of mirrors at which said rays (225.16) have to be driven through, by driving these into laterally projecting structures (225.15) beside said light driving pipe (225.12). The main advantage of this system (225.12), is that a light driving pipe (225.15, 225.18,225.19) can drive light rays (225.16) from a point along said pipe (225.12) to the end point (225.18, 225.19) of projection of said light driving pipe (225.12), in order to save light ray energy, if required.
Another light driving pipe (225.20) can drive the light rays into a plurality of piping systems (225.23) to the end point of projection of said light driving pipe (225.20), such that light ray energy is saved by driving said pipes laterally and perpendicularly to said light driving pipe (225.20). So, a light driving pipe (225.20) can drive the light rays to a concave mirror (225.22), which concentrates said rays towards a convex mirror (225.21). Said convex mirror (225.21) hence drives said light rays under the concave mirror (225.22) to a flat reflection mirror, which drives said rays into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (225.23). A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (225.24) can be comprised not only in the pipe (225.26) concerned, but also in all other pipes of the system (225.1) if required, such that said light rays (225.15) can be adjusted from the height view of projection, such that these (225.15) can be projected over or under other pipes to the end points of the light driving pipes (225.1, 225.2, 225.12, 225.20) if required, according to customer requirements. So, after at least the light rays of said pipe (225.26) are adjusted in height by said set of flat reflection mirrors (225.24), the light driving pipes (225.25, 225.26) can project as a plurality over each other, towards the end point of said light driving pipe (225.20). The main advantage of this system (225.20), is that a light driving pipe (225.23, 225.25, 225.26) can drive light rays from a point along said pipe (225.20) to the end point (225.25, 225.26) of projection of said light driving pipe (225.20), in order to save light ray energy if required.
The position of the convex mirror (225.11) comprised beside said flat reflection mirror, means that said flat mirror can occupy the entire height along said pipe (225.1), hence reflecting the light rays of a plurality of light driving pipes (225.9, 225.10) as required. The flat reflection mirrors (225.28, 225.30) can adjust the position of projection of the light rays, when these are driven towards the heat exchanger. A flat member (225.29) seals the walling oft from the outside of said light driving pipe.
A light driving pipe (226.3) can drive the light rays to the concave mirror (226.4). After the light ray concentration process, said light rays (226.6) are driven by a flat reflection mirror into a light driving pipe (226.5). A set of flat adjustment mirrors (226.8) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays if required into said light driving pipe (226.3). The light driving pipe (226.7) which drives the light rays from other systems, can project (226.7) into the light driving pipe (226.2) if required. The convex mirror (226.9) can drive the light rays straight into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (226.3), such that said rays are driven by a flat mirror into a linear light driving pipe (226.10). Both of said light driving pipes (226.5, 226.10) can project in parallel to the light driving pipes (226.2,226.3) comprised at the two sides of said pipes (226.5, 226.10). Sets of flat light ray reflection mirrors (226.11, 226.14) can adjust the height of projection of the light rays (226.6) comprised into said piping structures (226.5, 226.10), if required. One light driving pipe (226.5) can deliver the light rays by driving said pipe (226.12) to a point which is nearer to the end point of projection of said lateral light driving pipe (226.2), but not yet at the end point of projection of said pipe (226.2). This hence makes the design (226 12) as flexible as possible for customers to choose from. The other light driving pipe (226.10), can be driven towards the end point of said light driving pipe (226.2) by said piping structure (226.13). A convex mirror (226.15) can be comprised beside said flat mirror, but slightly in front of it (226.15), in order to collect all the required light rays from the concave mirror. The light driving pipe (226.2) has a starting member plate (226.1), which is sealed og in order to close said light driving pipe (226.2) from the outer world, hence avoiding any unwanted matter from coming into said pipe (226.2).
Another light driving pipe (226.16) can drive the light rays to a concave mirror (226.17) comprised into said light driving pipe (226.16). Once the concentration job is finished, a flat minor can drive said light rays (226.19) into a laterally projecting piping structure (226.20). The lateral wall structure (226.18) can seal off the projection of the light driving pipe (226.16) from the point at which said light rays (226.19) are driven through said tubular structure (226.20). This is because said concave mirror (226.17) already concentrated all light rays into a single light ray (226.19) beam. Another light driving pipe (226.24) can drive said light rays from the other side of the light driving pipe (226.16), further ahead along the projection of said light driving pipe (226.16). So, said light driving pipe (226.24) can then deliver said light rays via its piping structure (226.30) to a lower point along the projection length of the light driving pipe (226.16) in question. The two other light driving pipes (226.20, 226.21, 226.22) can project said light rays (226.19) above or under each other (226.20, 22611, 226.22), as a plurality of pipes (226.20, 226.21, 226.22) into the light driving pipe (226.16) in question. The fact that the light driving pipe (226.16) can offer said light ray transfer pipes (226 24 226 30) on both sides, offers maximum design flexibility of choice to customers, which can choose the sides of the light driving pipe (226.16) concerned, as well as the point of reception of said same (226.16) light rays back into said light driving pipe (226.16) in question.
Mother light driving pipe (226.23) can drive the light rays to a concave mirror (226.25) comprised into said pipe (226.23). A flat mirror can then drive said light rays (226.26) into a laterally projecting light driving pipe (226.27), once all the concentration job is performed by said concave mirror (226.25). Another light driving pipe (226.28) can transfer the light rays from a point to another for the same light driving pipe (226.23), as was previously described for the other light driving pipe (226.16), with said pipe (226.24, 226.30) being comprised along it (226.16). Said pipe (226.28) is also driven along the parallel side of said light driving pipe (226.23), along with the light driving pipe (226.27) previously described. Said pipe (226.27) hence drives the light rays (226.26) to the end point of projection of said light driving pipe (226.23), where said light driving pipe (226.29) drives the light rays again into the light driving pipe (226.23) concerned.
The advantages of said designs (226.22, 226.24, 226.30, 226.28) is that customers can use the designs of the pipes comprised (226.24, 226.30, 226.28) to shift the light rays from point to point along the same light driving pipes (226.16,226.23) without reaching the end point of projection of said pipes (226.16, 226.23), while shifting said light rays long enough to save light ray energy by minimising the amount of mirrors used to drive these. The other advantage of this system design (226.2, 226.5) is the use of the light driving pipe (226.5) comprised, with the light rays (226.6) being moved to another point of reception (226.12) along another light driving pipe (226.2), hence transferring said light rays from pipe (226.3) to pipe (226.2), but without reaching the end pint of projection of said lateral light driving pipe (226.2), hence maximising flexibility and customer freedom of choice for the design (226.2, 226.5) concerned.
A laterally projecting light driving pipe (227.4), can drive the light rays (227.5) into the piping structure (227.4). As the concave mirror (227.3) concentrates all light rays (227.5) into a single beam light ray (227.5), it is easy to drive these (227.5) into the piping structure. The light driving pipe (227.14) is hence driven between the two light driving pipes (227.7, 227.1), with one (227.7, 227.1) being comprised at each side of said pipe (227.14). Said pipe (227.14) can hence be driven into the end point of projection of said light driving pipe (227.1). Said light rays (227.5) were collected from the other light driving pipe (227.7) initially. Said light rays (227.5) are hence driven to a concave minor (227.17), which concentrates said light lays towards a convex minor (227.15). So, said convex mirror (227.15) drives said light rays under the concave minor (227.17). A set of flat light ray adjusting minors (227.29) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of the light rays, before being driven towards the heat exchanger.
The light driving pipe (227.1) can comprise a convex mirror (227.2) to drive the light rays as a single beam light ray, as required. The light driving pipe (227.6), which brings light rays from another solar ray collection system, can also project into the light driving pipe (227.1) concerned. In said light driving pipe (227.7), a laterally projecting light driving pipe (227.8) can transfer the light rays (227.9) into said pipe (227.8). A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (227.10) is comprised in order to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (227.9), projecting into said pipe (227.8). This is because said piping structure (227.8) will drive said light rays (227.9) under or over the other light driving pipe (227.4, 227.14) concerned, such that said light rays (227.9) can be projected into a point along the light driving pipe (227.1), which is not yet at the end pint of projection of said light driving pipe (227.1). However, a set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (227.11) is comprised in order to readjust the height of projection of said light rays (227.9). This is because the light rays (227.9) have to project at the required height, such that the piping structure (227.13) delivers the light rays (227.9) as required to the point of reception into the light driving pipe (227.1) concerned. So, said concave mirror (227.17) therefore concentrates the light rays of various systems (227.13, 227.14), including said light driving pipe (227.1), altogether towards the convex mirror (227.15), as required, into a straight single beam light ray.
The set of flat adjusting mirrors (227.12) is present after each light collection system, in order to adjust the light rays (227.16) to the required height of projection, to be driven under the next system. In this case (227.12), said light rays (227.16) are adjusted by said mirrors (227.12) before being driven towards the heat exchanger. Said concave (227.17) and convex (227.15) mirrors are comprised into the light driving pipe (227.1) concerned. The flat mirror is comprised just beside said convex mirror (227.15), such that no obstruction is present to the light rays being driven by said concave mirror (227.17), towards said convex minor (227.15). The set of flat adjustment mirrors (227.12) can be comprised at the end point of projection of said light driving pipe (227.7), as although the light rays (227.5, 227.9) have been driven into pipes (227.4, 227.8) up into said pipe (227.7), the pipe (227.7) still collects light rays after said system (227.4, 227.8), such that said mirrors (227.12) adjusts the height of projection of said light rays (227.16), that are present in there (227.16), before being driven towards said heat exchanger.
Another light driving pipe (227.18) can be comprised, collecting and concentrating the light rays into said light driving pipe (227.18). A flat reflection mirror (227.19), comprised into said light driving pipe (227.18), drives the light rays (227,21) into a laterally projecting piping structure (227.22). A flat mirror (227.23) is comprised inside said piping structure (227.22), in order to drive the light rays (227.21) in parallel to the two laterally comprised light driving pipes (227.1, 227.18), with one light driving pipe (227.1, 227.18) comprised at each side of the light driving pipe (227.22). The lateral wall structure (227.20) of the piping structure (227.22) can seal off the projection of the light rays (227.21) through the light driving pipe (227.18), as all light rays (227.21) are being driven by said flat mirror (227.19) into said piping structure (227.22). A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (227.24) can be comprised, in order to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (227.21), such that these (227.21) can be driven over or under the laterally projecting piping structure (227.30). After said deviation is complete, said light rays (227.21) are readjusted again in the height of projection by another set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (227.26). So, said piping structure (227.27) can hence deliver said light rays to said light driving pipe (227.18), which is the same as that (227.18) from which said light rays (227.21) were deported. The light rays (22721) are in this case delivered to a point which is not yet at the end of the projection of said light driving pipe (227.18), but which is near to it, hence saving light ray energy by minimising the number of mirrors which have to reflect and drive said light rays (227.21) concerned.
The other laterally projecting piping structure (227.30), is driven laterally to the other pipping structure (227.22), and hence laterally to the two laterally projecting light driving pipes (227.1, 227.18), with one pipe (227.1, 227.18) comprised at each side of said pipe (227.30). A set of flat light ray adjusting minors (227.25) only adjusts the height of projection of the light rays, if required. This piping structure (227.30), can hence project (227.28) directly to the end point of projection of the light driving pipe (227.18), which is the same pipe (227.18) as the one form which said light rays were collected, hence saving light ray energy by the same means as already explained above. Another piping structure (227.36) can accomplish the same job from the other side of said light driving pipe (227.18), hence transferring light rays from a further point to the end point (227.36) of projection of the same light driving pipe (227.18) concerned.
Another light driving pipe (227.31), can drive the light rays that it collected, to a concave mirror (227.32). Said concave mirror (227.32) does the concentration job, before said rays (227.34) are easily driven by a flat mirror, as a single light ray beam (227.34) into a laterally projecting piping structure (227.35). The lateral wall member (227.33) can seal off the projection of said light driving pipe (227.31) at the point of light rays (227.34) transfer into the piping structure (227.35), as said concave mirror (227.32) concentrates all light rays (227.34) into a single light ray beam (227.34). Said piping structure (227.35) drives said light rays (227.34) to a point of delivery, which is not yet at the end point of reception of said light driving pipe (227.31), but towards the same light driving pipe (227.31), as the one (227.31) from which said light rays (227.34) were initially taken from. Another light driving pipe (227.37) can do the same process, and deliver said light rays to the end point of projection of said light driving pipe (227.31), hence collecting and driving the light rays to the same light driving pipe (227.31). Both pipes (227.35, 227.37) are projected in parallel to the directions of projection of the two laterally comprised light driving pipes (227.18, 227.31), with one pipe (227.18, 227.31) comprised at each side (227.18, 227.31) of said two light driving pipes (227.35, 227.37), which project in parallel and together beside said light driving pipe (227.31). This system allows the user to save light ray energy, although rising the costs of construction and maintenance of said system concerned.
The system design (228.1) can comprise a plurality if system designs, already described in side view, but shown here as a top view (228.1) for clearer descriptive purposes. On the pipe (228.18), a light collection flat window (228.7) can comprise sets of water stopping members (228.8) comprised at each side of said flat window (228.7), hence making the swiping of said flat window (228.7), easy by the wiper blade (228.2) comprised. A plurality of light driving pipes (228.11) can drive the light rays into the light driving pipe (228.18), as a larger flat reflection mirror (228.12), drives said rays into the required direction through said pipe (228.18), through said flat member (228.12). As said mirror (228.12) is large and occupies a large part of the pipe's (228.18) diameter, a plurality of pipes (228.11) can drive the light rays at the same height level, in order for these to be reflected as required by said mirror (228.12). As said convex mirror (228.14) is comprised at the lowest area along said pipe (228.18), said flat reflection mirror (228.12) can be comprised over said convex mirror (228.14), and occupy the place that it suits inside said pipe (228.18). On said pipe (228.18), a light collection flat window can comprise a set of lateral projecting water colleting members (228.16), as well as (228.17) between the two opposite sides (228.17) of said flat window, hence making the swiping easier onto said pipe (228.18). A flat light ray collecting window (228.24) can comprise not only lateral water taking members (228.22, 228.23) on all four sides of said window (228.24), but can also comprise said members (228.25) at each opposite side (228.25) of the light collecting flat window (228.24) comprised.
A light ray collecting flat window (228.29) can comprise the wiper blade (228.26) projecting perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (228.18) on said flat light collecting window (228.29). So, said wiper blade (228.26) is sustained by the sustaining member (228.27), which is rotated along one side of the flat light collecting window (228.29), hence projecting the sweeping of said wiper blade (228.26) in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (228.18). Water stopping members (228.28,228.30) can be comprised along all four sides of said square shaped flat light collection window (228.29) on said light driving pipe (228.18). Another set of water stopping members (228.31), can be comprised at the outer edge (228.31) of each side (228.31) of the flat light collecting window (228.29) in question. The wiper blade (228.33) can project again perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (228.18) on the next flat light ray collection window (228.36). The rotational member (228.34) can again be comprised at the side of the middle of the light ray collecting flat window (228.36) comprised. Water stooping members (228.35, 228.37, 228.38, 228.39) can be comprised all around the four corners of said flat light ray collection window (228.36), hence making thc sweeping of said flat light ray collecting window (228.36) as easy as possible by said wiper blade (228.33) on said pipe (228.18), which makes the sweeping of said blade (228.33), in parallel to the direction of projection of said pipe (228.18).
The heat exchanger (228.59) is comprised to collect the heat of all light rays simultaneously, as required. Another light driving pipe (228.40) can comprise sets of light driving pipes (228.13), which project vertically, before projecting together (228.10), as a plurality (228.10) of light driving pipes (228.10), to said light driving pipe (228.40). A set of flat reflection mirrors (228.9) can be comprised at each side to simultaneously collect the light rays from a plurality of light driving pipes (228.10) projecting from the two sides of the light driving pipe (228.40) at once. So, said flat mirrors (228.9), at each side (228.9), drive the light rays towards a concave mirror (228.15), which concentrates said light rays to a convex mirror (228.41). As said convex mirror (228.41) is comprised at the lowest level of said light driving pipe (228.40), said light reflection mirrors (228.9) can be comprised over said convex mirror (228.41) and use the space that these (228.9) need as it suits. A flat window for light ray collecting (228.45), can be comprised along said light driving pipe (228.40). The water impeding members (228.19, 228.20) can be comprised along all sides of the flat light ray collecting window (228.45).
The outer water impeding members (228.21), impedes the unwanted water from coming in to the flat light ray collecting window (228.45), on the two sides (228_21) of the flat light ray collection window (228.45). The water sustaining members (228.48, 228.49) can be comprised on the four sides of the flat light ray collection window (228.50). The outer water impeding members (228.51) are comprised on both sides (228.51) of the outer edges (228 51) of said flat light ray collecting window (228.50). The water impeding mem Ders (228.51) are comprised at the two outer sides of the flat light ray collection windows (228.51) on the light driving pipe (228.40). The wiper blade (228.53) can be comprised on the flat window of light rays collection (228.54) of the light driving pipe (228.40). Members (228.52) can be comprised beside each side of said flat light ray collection window (228.54), comprised on said light driving pipe (228.40). The wiper blade (228.57) can project in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (228.40), but only projecting opposite wise on said flat light ray collection window (228.58). The wiper blade (228.57) is sustained to the sustaining member (228.32), which sustains the rotational member (228.55) comprised at the top end of the flat solar ray collecting windows (228.58) concerned. The wiper blade will hence sweep perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (228.40).
The light driving pipes (228.3, 228.6) can project as a plurality (228.3, 228.60) from both sides of said light driving pipe (228.46), such that the light rays (228.1) can be driven through said pipes (228.3, 228.6) by said flat reflection mirrors (228.4, 228.5) from other light ray collection systems, as a plurality of light driving pipes (228.44) to the light driving pipe (228.46). Said light driving pipes (228.44) project into the two sides of said light driving pipe (228.46), altogether to drive said light driving pipes (228.44) into the flat reflection mirrors (228.42), which are comprised projecting (228.42) towards the two sides (228.42) of the light driving pine (228.46). This means that the light driving pipe (228.46) has the flat reflection mirrors (228.42) comprised inside said light driving pipe (228.46). The flat reflection mirrors (228.42) drives the light rays towards the next concave mirror (228.43), comprised into said light driving pipe (228.46). The light driving pipe (228.46) can comprise a set of lateral members (228.47), which are comprised (228.47) projecting along the sides of the flat light ray collecting windows (228.71, 228.75) comprised. So, said set of members (228.47) could make said light driving pipe (228.46) flat along the positions of flat light ray reception windows (228.71, 228.75), as required. The flat mirrors (228.42) are large enough lobe able to reflect a plurality of light driving pipes (228.44), projecting from both sides simultaneously, into said light driving pipe (228.46).
Inside said lateral flat adjusting members (228.47), comprised between the two sides (228.47) of said light driving pipe's (228.46) structure, a light my collecting flat window (228.71) can be comprised, with the rotational member (228.70) comprised at the lower part of said flat light ray collecting window (228.71) comprised. So, said sustaining member (228.69) connects said rotational member (228.70) to said wiper blade (228.68), as required. So, said wiper blade (228.68) projects in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (228.46), but sweeps perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (228.46), in order to wipe out clean, the flat light my collection window (228.71). The light ray collection flat windows (228.75) can comprise the wiper blade (228.74) attached from the lower side, as required. The light driving pipe (228.46) can comprise water stopping members (228.73) comprised at the two edges of the light ray collection flat windows (228.75), hence making the sweeping of said flat light ray collection window (228.75) easy, with said members (228.73) being comprised just out of said laterally comprised members (228.47), but being comprised adhering to the lines (228.47) at which said members (228.47) are to be comprised (228.47) on the light driving pipe (228.46).
A flat member (228.72) can stop the projection of said flat system, which is defined by the two lateral side members (228.66), comprised at each side (228.66) of the light driving pipe (228.65) in order to make said mid appearing structure a flat shaped member (228.66) from a cross sectional point of view of said light driving pipe (228.65). So, said light ray collection flat windows (228.67) can be flat, as required, in order to collect the light rays from the outside, while not letting said light rays projecting out of control, due to the flat terrain (228.66) comprised along the flat solar ray collection windows (228.67), as these (228.67) are comprised on a flat (228.66) piece of terrain (228.66). A plurality of light driving pipes (228.61) can be comprised projecting from one side to the flat reflection mirror (228.60). As said flat mirror (228.60) occupies the entire cross sectional geometry of said light driving pipe (228.65), said mirror (228.60) can occupy the entire cross section of said pipe (228.65), in order to drive the light rays of said plurality of pipes (228.61) along the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (228.65). The light driving pipes (228.61) can transfer the light rays from other solar ray collection systems, via said pipes (228.61) to said flat reflection mirror (228.60), comprised in said light driving pipe (228.65) concerned. A light driving pipe (228.64) can drive the light rays to an upper (228.63) or lower (228.63) point, where said light rays are driven by a flat mirror (228.63), vertically (228.63) into the light driving pipe (228.65) concerned.
Said system (228.63) can be comprised beside a convex mirror (228.62), which is comprised beside said light ray delivery system (228.63), but not just beside it (228.62), in order to collect all light rays that are concentrated by said next concave mirror into said concave mirror (228.62). The convex mirror (228.62), viewed from a top point of view (228.62) is comprised beside said light ray delivery system (228.63), but clearly laterally (228.62) and not obstructing the path of the light rays (228.63) being driven to said convex mirror (229.62) into said light driving pipe (228.65). So, both of said convex mirror (228.62) and said light ray delivery system (228.63), can be comprised beside each other (228.62, 228.63), but always laterally to each other (228.62,228.63), along said light driving pipe (228.65), hence meaning that no height of projection target has to be met for both systems (228.62, 228.63), as long as these (228.62, 228.63) are comprised inside the wall members (228.65) of said light driving pipe (228.65).
The flat surface adjusting members (228 47, 228.66) are there, comprised on each side of said flat light ray collection windows (228.71,228.75, 228.67), in order for said windows (228.71, 228.75, 228.67) to be comprised on the flat side (228.47, 228.65) of said light driving pipe structures (228.46,228.65) concerned, hence being on the flat side (228.47, 228.66) of said light driving pipes (228.46, 228.65). This design (228.47, 228.66) is made as required, as said flat light ray collecting windows (228.71, 228.75, 228.67) need to be comprised on a flat terrain (228.47, 228.66), in order to collect the light rays (228.71, 228.75, 228.67) without these projecting out of control after passing through said window (228.71, 228.75, 228.67). The flat member can finish (228.72), after no fiat light ray collecting windows (228.71, 228.75, 228.67) are present into the design of the light driving pipe (228.66), for example when reaching the last point of projection of said pipe (228.66). The lateral surfaces on the two sides of said light driving pipes (228.46, 228.65), can be sideways inclined in order for the sweeping of unwanted rain water to be done easily and automatically by the wiper blades (228.68, 228.74), hence maximising the facility of sweeping for the wiper blades concerned (228.68, 228.74) on said flat light ray collecting windows (228.71, 228.75, 228.67).
The light driving pipes (229.3) can be driven by flat mirrors (229.1), in order for these (229.20) to project over a lower projecting light driving pipe (229.4), comprised under said light driving pipe (229.20). Flat mirrors (229.5) can then drive said light rays (229.6) back into the previous position of projection, along said light driving pipe. The light driving pipe (229.3) and lower perpendicularly projecting pipe (229.4) can be sustained by vertical sustaining members (229.7, 229.8). Said upper light ray receiving convex mirror (229.2), as well as the concave mirror (229.1) along with the light rays driving lower convex mirror (229.9), can all be comprised inside said lower light driving pipe (229.4). Sets of sustaining members (229.12) can sustain said piping structure (229.21) from above vertically (229.13), and be sustained over the ground by vertical sustaining members (229.11). The vertical members (229.14) can also be present as before, to sustain said piping structure (229.21) into place as requirecL The piping structure (229.22) can be sustained vertically (229.16) and laterally (229.15), to upper (229.17) and laterally (229.18) projecting sets of structural members (229.17, 229.18), which are sustained over the ground by vertical sustaining members (229.19).
The light driving pipe (230.3) can also be driven by flat reflection mirrors (230.1, 230.5) to a lower level, such that said piping structure (230.6) is driven under a higher perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (230.2). The piping structure (230.6) can hence drive the light rays (230.4) into said pipe (230.6) as required. Sustaining vertical members (230.7, 230.8) sustain the piping of said light driving pipe (230.4, 230.6) at all levels to the ground floor surface, as required. The piping structure (230.20) can be sustained vertically (230.10) from a structural set of members (230.9) comprised above said pipe (230.20), which are sustained to the ground floor by vertical sustaining members (230.11). Laterally projecting (230.14) sustaining members (230.14), can sustain the piping structure (230.18) from the lateral (230.12) and upper (230.13) sides as required. The vertical sustaining members (230.16) can sustain said piping structure (230.18) in order. Said lateral structural members (230.14) can comprise a bar (230.17) below the piping structure (230.18), in order for said pipe (230.18) to project under said light driving pipe (230.2). Said bar (230.17) can be sustained by vertical members (230.19) to the ground floor, and sustain said piping structure (230.18) vertically upwards (230.15) from under, by a set of members (230.15).
The two piping structures (231.2, 231.5), comprised of an upper (231.2) and a lower (231.5) pipe structure, can be supported to the ground floor surface by sets of vertical sustaining members (231.1, 231.3, 231.4, 231.7) at all levels where said pipes (231.2, 231.5) are comprised. Said alterations in the piping structures (23 L2, 2313) are present in order for said pipes (231.2, 231.5) to project over (231.2) and under (231.5) a perpendicular projecting light driving pipe (231.6). Sets of sustaining members (231.8) can sustain the two piping levels (231.25, 231.26) comprised from under (231.10), as well as over (231.9) said piping (231.25, 231.26) as requited. Said structural members (231.8) are supported to the ground floor surface by vertical sustaining members (231.11). Said supporting members (231.18) support said supporting structure (231.12) into position, hence supporting the two piping structures (231.14, 231.24) from under (231.13) and sideways (231.15) of said upper pipe (231.14), as well as above (231.23) the lower member (231.22) comprised under said lower pipe (231.24). The lower piping structure (231.21) projects along said system as required. The lower sustaining members (231.19, 231.20) sustain said lower piping (231.24) and said rigid sustaining structure (231.16, 231.17, 231.22) to the ground floor, hence shaping a square shaped cage structure (231.16, 231.17, 231.22) being sustained (231.20) and attached to the other sustaining structures (231.12). This design is a merger of the piping contents comprised on Figures 229 and 230.
The upper (232.1) and lower (232A) light driving pipes (232.1, 232.4) are sustained by vertical sustaining members (232.3, 232.5) to the ground floor surface, hence passing over (232.1) and under (232.4) a perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (2312). No alterations in the flow path of directions (232.1, 232.4) are required for both light driving pipes (232.1, 232.4) concerned. Said pipe (232.2) can be sustained by a vertically projecting sustaining member (232.6). Rigid sustain members (232.7) can sustain said two pipes (232.9,232.12) into position by upper (232.8) and lower (232.11) sustaining members, which are comprised (232.7) being sustained by other vertical members (232.10) to the ground floor. The two pipes (232.16, 232.19) are sustained by a cage shaped member (232.17,232.13, 232.21), which sustains said pipes (232.16, 232.19) from top (232.14) and bottom (232.22) members. Said lower cage part (23121) can be comprised over the ground floor surface by sustaining members (232.20). The lateral rigid sustaining members (232.18) are sustained to said cage member (232.17, 232.13, 232.21), as required. The lower pipe (232.15) projects as required, without any alteration, under the pipe comprised (232.2), similarly to the upper pipe (232.16), which projects over the light driving pipe (232.2) as required.
The light driving pipe (233.5) can project over a lower comprised light driving pipe (233.7), which projects perpendicularly to the piping member (233.5). The other pipe (233.7) can be attached (233.6) to the lateral vertical members (233.2) of the piping structure by the attaching members (233.4). Said vertical members (2332) sustain both lower (233.3) and higher (233.1) flat mirrors into position. The perpendicularly projecting pipe (233.13) can attach (23114) to the passing members (233.10), which project vertically (233.10) from the ground surface. Rigid sustaining members (233.8) can sustain said pipe (233.9) from above (233.11) said structure (233.9). The structure (233.8) is sustained to the ground floor surface by a vertical sustaining member (233.12). The perpendicular light driving pipe (23121) is attached (233.20) to the vertically projecting members (233.16) of the light ray collection structure. The rigid sustaining members (233.15, 233.17) sustain said pipe sideways (233.19) through sideways projecting members (233.17) and from above (233.18) through top positioned members (233.15).
The piping structure (234.3) can also project under a perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (234.2). Said pipe (234.2) is attached (234.4) to the vertically projecting sustaining members (234.1) as required. The piping structure (234.10) can be sustained (234.8) from above (234.8) by sets of rigid sustaining members (234.9). The perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (234.6) is comprised over the piping structure (234.10), and attaches (234.7) to the vertically projecting members (234.5) as required. The oppositely projecting light driving pipe (234.120 can attach (234.15) to the vertically projecting members (234.13) as required. The piping structure (234.16) projects under said light driving pipe (234.12), and can be sustained from above (234.18) by a rigid horizontally projecting bar (234.17), as well as sideways (234.14) by a vertically projecting member (234.11). Both members (234.11, 234.17) make part of the same rigid sustaining member casing (234.11, 234.17).
The upper (235.1) and lower (235.4) piping is a merger of the systems comprised on Figures 233 and 234. The upper pipe (235.1) is driven over the light driving pipe (235.5), while the lower pipe (235.4) is driven under said light driving pipe (235.5). The light driving pipe (235.5) attaches (235.6) to the vertically projecting member (235.7) of the piping structure, through the attaching member (235.2) comprised. The vertically sustaining member (235.3) can sustain said piping structures (235.1,235.4) into the required position. The upper (235.10) and lower (235.15) piping structures can be sustained from below (235.11) and above (235.13) by a set of rigid sustaining members (235.8). Said rigid structural members (235.8) are sustained to the ground floor level by vertically sustaining members (235.16). The light driving pipe (235.14) attaches (235.12) to the vertically projecting members (235.9) of the piping structure. The pipes (235.10, 235.15) are driven above (235.10) and undcr (235.15) said perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (235.14). The light driving pipe (235.21) is attached (235.22) to the vertically projecting members (235.20) of the piping structure, and projects perpendicularly to the light driving pipes (235.19, 235.25), which project perpendicularly to said light driving pipe (23121). One pipe (235.19) is driven above said perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (235.210, while the other pipe (235.25) is driven under the perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (235.21). The square shaped cage structure (235.18,235.23, 235.24) comprises top (235.18), side (235.23) and bottom (235.24) members. The connecting members (235.17) attach said cage side member (235.23) to the other sustaining structures.
The upper (236.3) and lower (236.1) piping structures, can project above (236.3) and under (236.1) said perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (236.4) without any need for directional (236.1, 236.3) or projection (236.1, 236.3) path alterations. The upper piping structure (236.3) can be sustained to the ground floor surface by a vertical sustaining member (236.7). The lower piping structure (236.1) can also be sustained to the ground floor surface by a vertically projecting sustaining member (236.6). The perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (236.4) attaches (236.5) to the vertical members (236.2) of the piping structure as required. The upper (236.8) and lower (236.9, 236.13) can be sustained by a sustaining member structure (236.14). The light driving pipe (236.11), projecting perpendicularly (236.11) to the other piping (236.8, 236.9, 236.13), attaches (236.12) to the vertically projecting members (236.10) as required. The perpendicularly projecting piping structure (236.23) attaches (236.19) to said vertically projecting members (236.18), as required. The upper (236.15) and lower (236.20) piping comprised, is sustained into position by a rigid sustaining structure (236.16), comprised along the path of both piping (236.15, 236.20) structures. The rigid sustaining structural members (236.16), on both sides, attach to the cage shaped member (236.17, 236.21,236.22), comprising top (236.17), bottom (236.21) and laterally vertically projecting (236.22). Said cage shaped member (236.17, 236.21,236.22) allows the perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (236.23) to project as it should through the empty path comprised into the middle of said cage (236.17, 236.21, 236.22) structure. The upper pipe (236.15) projects over said perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (236.23), while the lower pipe (236.20) projects under the perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (236.23).
The piping structure (237.5) can be sustained by a set of rigid sustaining members (237.4), which sustains the lower flat light collecting minor (237.3). The light rays (237.6) project from the sun, through the perpendicularly projecting upper flat mirror (237.7) in order to minimise light (237.6) ray obstruction. So, said light rays (237.6) are driven to the lower flat light collection mirror (237.3). Said light rays are then driven to the concave mirror (237.9) comprised. All of said members (237.3, 237.7, 237.9) are sustained by the sustaining member set (237.4). The light rays (237.80 are driven through the piping structure (237.5), which makes a deviation (237.10) in the direction of projection (237.10) in order to project over another (237.12) perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (237.12). Said light driving pipe (237.12) attaches (237.13) to the vertical sustaining members (237.11) of the piping structure concerned. The upper sustaining rigid member (237.4, 237.14) is comprised over all the network of members concerned, and supports said piping structure (237.5, 237.10) from members (237.15), which are comprised sustaining (237.15) said piping (237.5, 237.10) structure. After passing (237.10) over said light driving pipe (237.12), the projection of light rays can continue, with again the lower flat light ray collection mirror (237.16) collecting the light rays (237.6) that project from the sun through the perpendicular projecting upper flat mirror (237.18), so that said lower flat minor (237.16) drives said light rays (237.6) to the concave mirror (237.19) comprised. The lower flat light ray collecting mirror (237.20) is comprised just behind the concave mirror (237.19) comprised. The set of rigid sustaining members (237.4, 237.14) is sustained to the ground floor surface by vertical sustaining members (237.17).
In another system (238.20, 238.25), said light rays can project as an upper pipe (238.9, 238.10, 238_12), projecting over the perpendicular light driving pipe (238.12) and a lower piping structure (238.21, 238.22, 238.24) projecting under the perpendicular projecting light driving pipe (238.12), which transfers light rays from one pipe (238.20) to the next (238.25) simultaneously. Thc light rays (238.7) arc driven through the piping structure (238.6). Thc rigid sustaining members (238.5) sustain the lower (238.1) and upper (238.2) flat light collecting mirrors (238.1, 238.2), as well as the concave mirror (238.3) into position. Said piing structure (238.6), is driven slightly upwards (238.9), hence projecting horizontally (238.9) over the light driving pipe (238.20) of another perpendicularly projecting piping structure (238.20). Said piping structure (238.20) attaches (238.8) to the vertically sustaining members (238.4) of the piping structure. Said tower perpendicular light driving pipe (238.20) droves the light rays in parallel to the upper pipe (238.9), projecting horizontally (238.21) below it (238.9).
So, the upper piping (238.9) structure is moved upwards (238.10) in order to project horizontally (238.10) over another perpendicular light driving pipe (238.12), while the lower piping structure (238.21) is moved more downwards (238.22) in order to project horizontally (238.22) under said light driving pipe (238.12) concerned. The light rays (238.23) are driven along the path being driven by said lower piping structure (238.22). The perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (238.12) attaches (238.13) to the vertically sustaining members (238.11) of the piping structure. Said lower pipe (238.22) can be moved slightly upwards (238.24) after passing under said main light driving pipe (238.12), and hence be driven to the other piping structure (238.25), which is comprised beside said light driving pipe's (238.12) system. So, said light rays (238.23) are driven into said piping system (238.25) finally. The piping members (238.25) attach (238.16) to the vertically projecting members (238.14) comprised. The light rays (238.15) of the upper pipe (238.10), follow the piping structure (238.17), which is moved more downwards (238.17) after projecting over said light driving pipe (238.12). So, said piping structure (238.17) can drive the light rays (238.150 again under said sustaining member structure (238.27), which supports again the lower light collecting minor (238.18), upper light collecting minor (238.19), and the concave minor (238.28) rigidly in order. The sustaining rigid member (238.27) can be sustained over the ground floor by vertically sustaining members (238.26), as required.
The light driving pipe (239.19) drives the light rays (239.21) into a piping structure (239.19), which is sustained by a set of rigid sustaining members (239.20), which hence sustain said lower light collecting mirror (239.1), said upper light collecting mirror (239.2) and said concave mirror (239.3) rigidly into the required position. The laterally perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (239.22) attaches to a horizontal member (239.5) by sustaining members (239.26), which attach to the vertical sustaining members (239.4) of said structure. So, the piping structure (239.22), drives the light rays (239.24) into a linear piping path (239.23), which projects (239.23) in parallel to the upper piping path (239.11) comprised. So, the upper piping structure (239.11) projects over the perpendicularly projecting next light driving pipe (239.8), while the lower piping structure (239.23), projects driving the light rays (239.24) under the next perpendicularly projecting light driving pipe (239.8). The sustaining members (239.20) form a cage shaped structure (239.6, 239.10, 239.25), comprising top (239.6), bottom (239.25) and side (239.10) members, through which said light driving pipe (239.8) is projected through the middle of said cage shaped structure (239.6, 239.10, 239.25).
The light driving pipe (239.8) attaches (239.9) to the vertically sustaining members (239.7) concerned. The upper piping structure (239.11) can then be projected downwards (239.12), in order for said piping structure (239.16) to drive the light rays (239.29) again under the light rays collection systems, as required. Being sustained by the rigid sustaining members (239.15), said piping structure (239.16) drives the light rays (239.29) in continuation, while taking the light rays collected by said lower (239.14) and upper (239.17) light ray collection mirrors (239.14, 239.17), and concentrated into said pipe (239.16) by said concave mirror (239.18). All of said members (239.14, 239.17,239.18) are being sustained rigidly into the required position by the horizontally projecting sustaining structure (239.15) comprised. The lower light driving pipe (239.23) can drive the light rays (239.24) back into another piping structure (239.27), which is comprised laterally to the light driving pipe (239.8) which was crossed from under by said piping structure (239.23). So, the light rays (239.24) are driven back to said piping structure (239.27), which projects laterally to the other light driving pipe (239.8) concerned. The piping structure (239.27) can be sustained by rigid members (239.26) to a horizontally projecting member (239.28), which is supported and attached (239.28) to the vertically projecting sustaining members (239.13) of the piping structure (239.13) concerned.
Mother light ray collecting system (240.8) can be comprised collecting the light rays from another pipe (240.4), before driving said pipe (240.12) through a narrow gap (240.60 to another light driving pipe (240.1), such that a plurality of light driving pipes (240.12, 240.19) can drive said light rays (240.26) through narrow gaps (240.6, 240.23) to said light driving pipe (240.1) concerned, hence driving said highly concentrated and intense light rays (240.21) to the heat exchanger concerned. This design (240.1) offers a higher light ray concentration (240.21) being obtained, as concentrating the light rays concerned of a plurality (240.12, 240.19) of pluralities (240.4, 240.8) of light driving pipes (240.19, 240.12, 240.4, 240.8), into a single coherent projecting light ray (240.21), is a big advantage from the point of view of the heat transmitted by said light ray (240.21) on the heat exchanger. The light driving pipe (240.8) drives light rays towards a flat reflection mirror (240.9). As said mirror (240.9) occupies the entire diameter of the pipe (240.8), said light rays can be comprised in a plurality of light rays. So, the light rays are driven towards a concave mirror (240.11), which concentrates said light rays towards a lower comprised convex mirror (240.10). So, said light rays are driven by said convex mirror (240.10) under said concave mirror (240.11), and hence through the light driving pipe (240.12). At said light driving pipe (240.12), a flat reflection mirror (240.5) can be comprised at the side of the projecting pipe (240.12), but inside said pipe (240.12), hence reflecting and driving light rays towards the next concave mirror (240.7). Said concave mirror (240.7) hence drives the light rays to said convex mirror, which then drives said light rays through thc narrow pipe gap (240.6) in a concentrated manner to said light driving pipe (240.1).
Said light rays are driven form another light driving pipe (240.4), where said light rays are in a concentrated manner, after being concentrated by the last concave miner (240.2) comprised, and being adjusted into the height of projection by a set of flat light ray reflection mirrors (240.3). Said pipe (240.4) projects perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said other light driving pipe (240.12). So, said light rays end up into the direction of projection of said next light driving pipe (240.1), which projects (240.1) perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said other previously comprised light driving pipe (240.12).
Mother light driving pipe (240.13) can drive its light rays to a concave mirror (240.16) after collecting these, which are hence concentrated by said concave mirror (240.16) to a lower comprised convex mirror (240.14). Said lower convex mirror (240.14) hence drives said light rays (240.15), in a concentrated and coherent manner (240.15), under said concave mirror (240.16). Said light rays (240.15) are driven towards a set of flat adjusting mirrors (240.17), which can adjust the height of projection of said light rays (240.15) if required, before continuing the journey along said light driving pipe (240.13). A flat reflection mirror (240.18) reflects said light rays (240.15), hence driving these (240.15) into a perpendicular direction of projection (240.15), hence driving said light rays into the next chunk of light driving pipe (240.19) comprised. The light driving pipe (240.13,24W 19) can collect solar light rays from all parts, even at the turning part were said flat reflection mirror (240.18) is comprised. So, the lower flat light ray collecting mirror (240.27) can be comprised just at the start of the next bit of light driving pipe (240.19), without affecting other systems, and being oriented as required by said rotational pivot (240.28). Said pivot (240.28) is comprised at the middle (240.28) of said flat light collecting mirror (240.27), but just under it (240.27).
The light rays (240.15) are hence concentrated by said plurality of concave mirrors, until said rays (240.26) are driven into the narrow gap pipe (240.23) to said flat reflection mirror (240.24) comprised at the side of the projecting direction of said other light driving pipe (240.1). Said pipe (240.1) projects perpendicularly to the previous light driving pipe (240.23, 240.19), hence driving said light rays (240.23) into the direction of projection of said piping structure (240.1), towards the next concave mirror (240.20). Said concave mirror (240.20) concentrates said light rays (240.26), along with those collected by said piping systems (240.1), towards a lower comprised convex mirror (240.22). Said convex mirror (240.22) hence drives said light rays (240.21), in a concentrated and coherent manner (240.21), under said concave mirror (240.20). Said light rays (240.21) are hence driven through said pipe (240.1) to the heat exchanger concerned. A narrow gap member (240.25) can be comprised at each side of the light driving pipe (240.19) if a diameter of that size (240.19) is no longer required onto said pipe (240.19), hence only leaving the space (240.24) for said light rays (240.26) to be driven through said narrow gap pipe member (240.24). The advantage of this design (240.1), is that a plurality of light driving pipes (240.12, 240.19) can be embedded into a single light driving pipe (240.1), after collecting the light rays from other light driving pipes (240.4) independently. This design (240.1) hence maximises flexibility of choice for customers, as well as a higher light ray concentration (240.21) being obtained, as concentrating the light rays concerned of a plurality (240.12, 240.19) of pluralities (240.4,240.8) of light driving pipes (240.19, 240.12, 240.4, 240.8), into a single coherent projecting light ray (240.21), is a big advantage from the point of view of the heat transmitted by said light ray (240.21) on the heat exchanger. This can hence increase the temperatures delivered by said light ray (240.21) at the point of reception at the heat exchanger, and hence maximise temperatures, hence maximising power generation efficiencies at the point of projection of said light ray (240.21) at the heat exchanger. This depends on the design chosen according to customer requirements.
Other designs (241.2) in which the light driving pipes are merged (241.1, 241.9, 24132, 241.37) into one driving pipe (241.2), as pluralities of pipes (241.1, 241.9, 241.32, 241.37), can also be comprised. So, the light driving pipes (241.32) which collect the light rays (241.10) from a plurality (241.1, 241.9) of various (241.1,241.9) light driving pipes (241.1, 241.9), can be driven towards another light driving pipe (241.2) as a plurality (241.32, 241.37) of various (241.21, 241.35) light driving pipes (241.32, 241.37), hence driving said light rays (241.41) as a plurality towards said light driving pipe (241.2). Said pipe (241.2) hence drives a concentrated light ray (241.39), in a highly intense and concentrated manner (241.39) to the heat exchanger concerned. Said design is another design variation of what was described on Figure 240, but this time, the design (241.2) comprises sets of flat mirrors (241.18, 241.20, 24133, 241.25, 241.22, 241.23, 241.36, 241.12, 241.13, 241.14) in order to adjusts the direction of projection of said light rays (241.41) as is required, comprised into said pipes (241.2, 241.1, 241.9, 241.16, 241.32, 241.27, 241.34, 241.37).
A light driving pipe (241.16) can drive the light rays that it collected through the collection systems comprised over said pipe structure (241.16), towards the flat light ray adjusting mirrors (241.17), which can adjusts the height of projection of said light rays if required, before getting adjusted in projection direction by the flat minors (241.18) comprised. Said light rays get driven from said set of adjusting mirrors (241.17) to a flat reflection mirror (241.18) comprised inside said piping (241.16, 241.32) structure. Said flat mirror (241.18) drives the light rays towards another flat reflection mirror (241.20), which in turn drives the light rays to a flat reflection minor (241.33). Said flat mirror (241.33) drives the light rays into the piping structure (241.32) as required, after being correctly adjusted in projecting direction by said set of flat reflection mirrors (241.18, 241.20, 241.33). Said upper flat mirror (241.20) is comprised into a box shaped (241.19) structural type (241.19) of member (241.19), which makes part of the piping structures (241.16,241.32) comprised. Said piping structure (241.32) projects perpendicularly to the previous piping structure (241.16), and passes beside a plurality of light driving pipes (241.1, 241.9) being comprised. So, said light rays are driven by said flat mirror (241.33) through the piping structure (241.32), hence passing along a laterally comprised flat mirror (241.31) comprised at the side area (241.32) of the light driving pipe (241.32) comprised. Said flat mirror (241.31) is comprised inside said light driving pipe (241.32). Said mirror (241.31) hence drives the light rays (241.30) to a concave mirror (241.28). Said mirror (241.28) concentrates said light rays (241.30) and the other previously mentioned light trays, into a lower comprised convex mirror (241.29). Said light rays (241.30) are then driven onto said light driving pipe's (241.27) direction of projection (241.27) by the convex mirror concerned (241.29). Both of said concave (241.28) and said convex (241.29) mirrors, are comprised inside said light ray driving pipe (241.27, 241.32). Said final flat mirrors (241.33) reflect said light rays at 90 degrees, hence being inclined at 45 degrees (241.33) in angle orientation, hence driving said light rays into the light driving pipe (241.32,241.27).
The light driving pipe (241.9) from which the light rays (241.30) are collected by the driving of said flat reflection mirror (241.31), projects perpendicularly (241.9) to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (241.27,241.32). After collecting said light rays (241.10), by said upper comprised collection systems comprised over said light driving pipe (241.9), said pipe (241.9) drives the light rays (241.10) into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (241.9), and hence into a set of flat reflection mirrors (241.12, 241.13, 241.14). Said flat mirrors (241.12, 241.13, 241.14) are present to adjust the direction of projection of said light rays (241.10), such that said light rays (241.10) project exactly perpendicularly to the light driving pipe (241.27) into which said rays (241.10) are being projected into. So, the flat reflection mirror (241.31) can handle the light ray reflection much more easily and efficiently. Said light rays (241.10) are hence driven into the direction of projection of said pipe (241.9), towards the first flat reflection mirror (241.12).
Said mirror (241.12) drives the light rays to another flat reflection mirror (241.13), which hence projects said light rays towards the final flat reflection mirror (241.14). Said final reflection mirror (241.14) reflects and drives said light rays (241.10) into a narrow gap pipe (241.15), towards said flat reflection mirror (241.31) comprised inside said light driving pipe (241.32). A narrow pipe (241.15) is required, as no other light ray beams are present into said piping (241.15) structure comprised. A combination of said flat mirrors (241.12, 241.13, 241.14) is required to adjust the light rays (241.10) as required, with the mid mirror (241.13) projecting between the two other minors (241.12, 241.14). The final mirror (241.14) projects said light rays (241.10) towards said piping structure (241.15), hence driving these (241.10) at an angle of 45 degrees in mirror (241.14) inclination (241.14). This means that said flat mirror (241.14) reflects the light rays (241.10) at an angle of 90 degrees, towards the narrow piping structure concerned (241.15), and hence towards said flat reflection mirror (241.31) comprised. In order to provide accommodation for the mid mirror (241.13), a member structure (241.1 I) forms a box shaped structural member (241.11) for said mid mirror (241.13) to be situated, which makes all part of the two piping systems (241.9, 241.15) being combined together (241.9,241.15) as one piping system (241.9,241.15). This design (241.11) is required, as for angles which are less than 45 degrees in light ray (241.10, 241.30) alteration or projection, a distance is required such that all light rays of the initial mirror (241.12) reach the surface of said outer flat mirror (241.13). So, said flat mirror (241.13) can then drive all of the light rays (241.10) towards the lower (241.14) and final (241.14) flat reflection mirror (241.14). However, space is required for said mirror (241.13) to be comprised away from said two other flat mirrors (241.12, 241.14) in roader to accomplish this. So, a box shaped structural member (241.11) is required to achieve said member (241.13) orientation and architectural projection (241.13) being comprised (241.13) for said flat reflection mirrors (241.12, 241.13, 241.14). So, said mid mirror (241.13) can be comprised at the end of said box shaped structure (241.11), hence projecting to both other flat reflection mirrors (241.12, 241.14) fully, and at the same time (241.12, 241.14) simultaneously, as required.
Along said light driving pipe (241.27), the same process can be applied again, with a flat reflection mirror (241.7) comprised at the side of said pipe (241.27) and into said pipe (241.27) concerned. Said minor (241.70, drives the light rays of said narrow piping structure (241.6), along with the previously mentioned light rays (241.30), to the next concave mirror (241.26). So, said next concave mirror (241.26) concentrates said light rays, hence driving these (241.24) in a coherent and single (241.24) one light ray beam (241.24). Said beam (241.24) is hence driven from said convex mirror to the first flat reflection mirror (241.23). In this case, the same process is initiated again as previously described, with said initial flat mirror (241.23) driving the light rays to said second flat mirror (241.25), which in turn drives said light rays to the final flat reflection mirror (241.22). By an inclination of less than 45 degrees, said final flat reflection mirror (241.22) drives said light rays towards the narrow piping structure (241.21) comprised, to the next light driving pipe (241.2) structure concerned. As only a single light ray beam (241.24) is being driven towards said other light driving pipe (241.2), narrow diameter minors (241.23, 241.25, 241.22) and narrow diameter pipes (24121) are wide enough to be applied for said light ray transfer job, as required. In this case again, a member structure (241.8) is comprised in order for said mirror (241.25) to be fully projecting towards both initial (241.23) and final (241.22) light reflection mirrors simultaneously. This time, as the light driving pipe (241.27) is inclined laterally upwards, said final flat reflection minor (241.22) needs to be inclined at less than 45 degrees of inclination (241.22), in order to drive said light lays accurately through said narrow pipe member (241.21). Said box shaped structure (241.8), with said member (241.8), makes part of the two piping structures (241.21,24127) that are comprised (241.21,241.27) in this case.
The light rays that are reflected by said flat reflection mirror (241.7) in said light driving pipe (241.27), are reflected from a light driving pipe (241.6), which projects perpendicularly to said light driving pipe (241.27), hence requiring said flat minor (241.7) to be inclined at more than 45 degrees of inclination (241.7), in order to hence reflect all of the light rays driven by said pipe (241.6) into said light driving pipe (241.27). Said light driving pipe (241.1) connects directly to said narrow piping structure (241.6), and comprises a set of concave (241.4) and convex (241.3) mirrors, such that said convex mirror (241.3) would drive a single and coherent light rays beam, towards said narrow diameter pipe (241.6), hence only requiring said diameter (241.6) to be used for this case concerned. A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (241.5) can be comprised in order for said light rays to be properly adjusted before projecting into said light driving pipe (241.6), if required. Said light driving pipe (241.27) projects at more than 90 degrees perpendicularly to said perpendicular projecting light driving pipes (241.1, 241.6), hence meaning that said flat reflection mirror (241.7) should be longer, and hence comprise a longer diameter, in order to collect all light rays from said perpendicular pipe (241.6), and drive these towards the next concave mirror (241.26) of said light driving pipe (241.27).
Another light driving pipe (241.34) can drive its light rays, collected by said upper members comprised over the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (241.34), to a flat reflection mirror (241.38), which reflects said light rays into the next bit of light driving pipe (241.37) concerned. As the change in direction is of less than 90 degrees, said flat mirror (241.38) is much smaller (241.38) in horizontal diameter, in order to collect and reflect all of the light rays projecting from the initial light driving pipe (241.34), towards the next light driving pipe (241.37). As all light rays are concentrated by the concave mirrors comprised inside said light driving pipe (241.34), a single light ray beam is driven to said flat reflection mirror (241.38), hence meaning that a small size diameter mirror (241.38) is enough to accomplish the reflection job (241.38) that is required by said mirror (241.38) to reflect said light rays (241.38). Said small diameter reflection minor (241.38) is comprised at the middle area (241.38) of said light driving pipes (241.34, 241.37) concerned, as the concave mirror (241.4, 241.26, 241.28) drives the light rays to a convex minor (241.3, 241.29), comprised at the middle area (241.3, 241.29) of the light driving pipes (241.1, 241.9, 241.16,241.32, 241.27, 241.34, 241.37) concerned. This means that said light rays (241.41, 241.10, 241.39) will be driven into a coherent and concentrated manner (241.41, 241.10, 241.39) at the middle of the light driving pipes (241.1, 241.9, 241.16, 241.32, 241.27, 241.34, 241.37) concerned, hence meaning that said rays (241.41, 241.10,241.39) can be reflected by a flat mirror (241.38) comprised at the middle area of said light driving pipes (241.34, 241.37) concerned.
Said light rays are driven to a set of flat reflection mirrors (241.36), which again, as described before, adjust the light driving pipe's (241.37) light rays (241.41), such that these (241.41) project in a narrow piping structure (241.35), after being adjusted by said flat mirrors (241.36). So, said light rays (241.41) project into said narrow piping structure (241.35) as a single and coherent light ray beam (241.41) to the flat reflection mirror (241.40) comprised into said light driving pipe (241.2). Said light rays are concentrated by said concave minor, such that said convex mirror, drives a single light ray beam (241.39), in a concentrated and coherent manner (241.39), towards the heat exchanger concerned. The fact that said light driving pipe (241.2) has, like all other pipes (241.1, 241.9, 241.16, 241.32, 241.27, 241.34, 241.37), concave mirrors comprised after each light ray collecting system, allows said pipe (241.2) to collect a plurality (241.21,241.35) of various (241.21,241.35) light driving pipes (241.21, 241.35), all into the same light driving piping (241.2) systems comprised (241.2). The advantage of said system design (241.2), is that said flat reflection mirrors (241.18, 241.20, 241.33, 241_12, 241.13, 241.14, 241.25,241.22, 241.23, 241.36) can be used in any system to adjust the direction of projection of said light rays (241.41, 241.39) according to the positions of projection of the systems (241.2, 241.1, 241.9, 241.16,241.32, 241.27, 241.34, 241.37) comprised, hence maximising ease of choice and decisions making by customers, according to customer requirements.
The light ray collection system (242.14) can comprise a pipe (242.5) which projects perpendicularly to another light driving pipe (242.8), still before projecting towards said final light driving pipe (242.14) through said next light driving pipe (242.8). This can be done after collecting the light rays from a plurality of light driving pipes. The advantage of this system design (242.14) is that the light rays can be merged together in a plurality of manners (242.5, 242.8), before reaching the final light driving pipe (242.14)as required, which will drive said light rays (242.12) in a coherent and concentrated manner (242.12) to the heat exchanger concerned.
The light driving pipe (242.1), can drive the light rays to a set of flat adjusting light ray mirrors (242.2), in order to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (242.3) if required, before said light rays (242.3) are driven towards the light ray (242.6) transfer pipe (242.5) concerned. So, said light rays (242.3) are driven in a coherent and concentrated manner (242.3), through the middle area of said light driving pipe (242.1), towards a flat reflection minor (242.4). Said flat mirror (242.4) drivees the light rays (242.3) into another direction of projection (242.6), hence driving said light rays (242.6) into a piping structure (242.5). Said piping structure (242.5) comprises a low diameter (242.5), as no other light ray beams are comprised into said pipe (242.5) apart from the one concerned (242.6). The light driving pipe (242.5), drives the light ray beam (242.6) towards a flat reflection mirror (242.7), which is cornprised at the side area of another light driving pipe (242.8). Said flat mirror (242.7) is comprised into said light driving pipe (242.8) member. Said mirror (242.7) hence drives the light rays (242.6) towards a concave mirror (242.9), which falls as the next concave mirror (242.9) on said light driving pipe (242.8). Said concave mirror (242.9) concentrates said light rays (242.6) along with the ones collected by said piping system (242.8), towards a convex mirror (242.11).
Said convex mirror (242.11) hence drives said light rays coherently into one single beam, to the next light driving pipe (242.14). In said pipe (242.14), a concave mirror (242.13) concentrates said light rays and the other ones collected by the piping system concerned (242.14), towards a convex mirror. So, as a result, said convex mirror drives a single light ray beam (242.12), which projects (242.12) into the direction of projection (242.12) of said light driving pipe (242.14). So, said light ray beam (242.12) projects (242.12) in a coherent and concentrated manner (242.12), into the direction of projection of the light driving pipe (242.14) concerned, and hence towards the heat exchanger concerned. The flat reflection mirror (242.7) can be comprised at any height beside the convex mirror (242.11) comprised, as from a top view, both members (242.7, 242.11) are present being separated from each other (242.7, 242.11), hence allowing said flat mirror (242.7) to be comprised at any height required (242.7), as long as said mirror (242.7) is comprised into said light driving pipe (242.8) along with said other convex miner (242.11). The flat minor (242.7) is comprised slightly behind the convex mirror (242.11), in order for said convex mirror (242.7) to receive all light rays that are driven from the frontally projecting concave mirror (242.9) comprised. The piping structure (242.5) which drives the light rays (242.6), can be sustained by rigid external horizontally projecting members (242.10), which sustain said piping structure (242.5) into position by the means of horizontally projecting sustaining members, which all attach to said external (242.10) horizontal sustaining members (242.10).
The design concerned (243.2) can comprise connecting members (234.40, 243.21, 243.13) which into the the light driving pipes (243.38, 243.15, 243.2) into the light rays (243.42, 243.19, 243.12) in the required direction, towards the mid area of said next light driving pipe (243.43, 243.27,243.50). So, said design (243.2) can comprise said advantages through said systems (234.40, 243.21, 243.13) comprised. So, the light driving pipes (243.40, 243.21, 243.13) can drive the light rays (243.12, 243.26, 243.42) over or under said flat reflection mirrors (243.28, 243.48) in order to drive the light rays (243.42, 243.26,243.12) into the directions of projection of the light driving pipes (243.50, 243.27, 243.43). Said flat reflection mirrors (243.28, 243.48) reflect said other light rays (243.5, 243.14), to hence project these (243.5, 243.14) into the same direction of projection of said light driving pipes (243.50, 243.27, 243.29), where said flat mirrors (243.50, 243.27, 243.29) are being comprised. So, as the concave mirror (243.8, 243.45, 243.46) will concentrate all of said light rays (243.12, 243.14,243.26, 243.7, 243.42) towards said lower convex mirrors (243.44, 243.29, 243.27), hence obtaining a coherent and concave (243.30, 243.51) light ray beam (243.30, 243.51), as is required (243.30, 243.51), which can then be driven towards said heat exchanger concerned. Said light rays (243.5, 243.14) are reflected by said flat reflection mirrors (243.48, 243.28), such that said rays (243.7) are driven along the directions of projection of said light driving pipes (243.27,243.43, 243.50), towards the next concave mirror (243.46, 243.48) comprised.
So, said concave mirrors (243.46, 243.48) can concentrate said light rays (243.7) along with the other light rays (243.12, 243.14, 243.26, 243.42) collected by said piping systems (243.2, 243.27, 243.43, 243.50), are concentrated towards said convex mirror (243.47, 243.29, 243.44), which drives the light rays (243.7, 243.51) to the next system, in a coherent and concentrated manner (243.7, 243.51), towards said heat exchanger concerned. The advantage of this structure design (243.2), is that said light rays (243.14, 243.5, 243.7) can be reflected by flat reflection mirrors (243.28, 243.48) over or under the light rays (243.12, 243.26, 243.42), hence resulting in single one light ray beams (243.30, 243.51) being driven into the directions of projection of said light driving pipes (243.50, 243.27, 243.43), while simultaneously offering the merger of a plurality (243.15, 243.1) of various (243.15, 243.1) pipes into a single pipe (243.27), which will then be merged (243.27, 243.29) as a plurality (243.27, 243.29) of various pipes (243.27, 243.29) into one pipe, hence then again being merged into a plurality (243.29, 243.2) of various pipes (243.29, 243.2) into a single light driving pipe (243.50) comprising a single one light ray beam (243.51). Said beam (243.51) is driven by said convex mirror (243.47), after the concentration by said concave mirror (243.46). This design hence maximises customer choice of options for the design (243.2) concerned, as well as maximising the temperature obtained from the light rays (243.50 obtained by thc concentration processes of light rays (243.12, 243.14, 243.26, 243.7, 243.42) into single beam light rays (243.51). This design (243.2) hence maximising temperature increase for heat transfer into the heat exchanger by said light rays (243.51), as well as having an ease to drive said single one beam light ray (243.51) as required towards the heat exchanger concerned.
A light driving pipe (243.38) can drive the Light rays that it collected over the light driving pipe (243.38), into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (243.38), and hence through said light driving pipe (243.38), to a concave mirror (243.34) being comprised. Said concave mirror (243.34) drives the light rays to a lower comprised convex mirror (243.33), also comprised into said light driving pipe (243.34). Said convex mirror (243.33) drives the light rays under said concave mirror (243.34) to a set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (243.35), such that the height of projection of said light rays can be adjusted, if required. An external (243.37) horizontally projecting (243.37) set of members (243.37) can be comprised, to sustain said horizontally projecting members (243.36), which sustain said piping structure (243.38) into the required position. Said pipe (243.38) can hence drive the light rays (243.42) into the middle area of said pipe (243.38), into a narrow pipe communication (243.40). As only a single beam light ray (243.42) is comprised, no larger diameter on said pipe (243.40) is required. Perpendicularly projecting members (243.39, 243.41) narrow (243.39) and open (243.41) the piping diameters (243.38, 243.43), before (243.38) and after (243 43) as required. As the next light driving pipe (243.43) collects light rays again, the diameter should be larger again (243.43), hence requiring said members (243.41) to make the diameter wider again (243.43). Said light rays (243.42), after being driven through said pipe (243.40), are hence being driven along the next light driving pipe (243.42) in a straight and coherent manner (243.42), towards the next concave mirror (243.45) comprised. Again, the concave mirror (243.45) concentrates the light rays as required, towards a lower convex minor (243.44) comprised inside said light driving pipe (243.43). The light rays then are driven by said convex mirror (243.44) into the required direction, in parallel to the direction of projection of the light driving pipe (243.43). Said light rays (243.42) are hence driven into the next bit of light driving pipe (243.49), as required.
Another light driving pipe (243.15) drives the light rays that it (243.15) collected, towards a concave mirror (243.17) comprised into the same light driving pipe (243.17). Said concave mirror (243.17) concentrates the light rays towards a lower comprised convex minor (243.16) inside said light driving pipe (243.15). So, said convex minor (243.16) drives the light rays under the concave minor (243.17), towards a set of flat adjusting mirrors (243.18), in order to adjust the height of projection of said light rays, if required, before being driven (243.19) through the piping (243.21) connection. The wall members (243.20) of said light driving pipe (243.15), seal off the light driving pipe (243.15) from the outer environment. 'The light rays (243.19) are driven, as a single beam light ray (243.19), from said light driving pipe (243.15) into the piping connection (243.21). A flat reflection mirror (243.22) reflects and drives (243.22) said light rays (243.26), into another piping strip (243.23), towards another light driving pipe (243.27). Said flat reflection mirror (243.22) is inclined at more than 45 degrees of inclination (243.22), due to the change in direction of said light rays (243.19,243.26) concerned, which is in this case much less than 90 degrees. So, said flat minor (243.22) hence needs to be longer in terms of horizontal diameter (243.22) to receive (243.19) and drive (243.26) all of the light rays being driven (243.19) towards it (243.22). A perpendicularly projecting member (243.24) narrows the diameter of the piping structure (243.15) from the lateral wall members (243.20), as only one single light ray beam (243.19) is driven by said convex mirror (243.16) into said narrow gap pipe (243.21). So, for only one light ray (243.21), a much narrower piping structure (243.21) is enough to do the job (243.19) required. The other piping structure (243.27) comprises another perpendicularly projecting member (243.25), which enlarges the piping structure (243.27) at the end of said light transfer narrow pipe (243.23) comprised, hence enabling the required diameter (243.27) for said light driving pipe (243_27), as required.
Said light rays (243.26) are driven from said narrow pipe structure (243.23) into said new light driving pipe (243.27) comprised. Said light rays (243.26), driven along said light driving pipe (243.27), are driven over or under a flat reflection mirror (243.28), which is (243.28) comprised at the middle area of said pipe (243.27), hence over or under thc projccting path of said light rays (243.26) comprised. Said newly received light rays (243.7), are driven into the direction of projection (243.7) of said light driving pipe (243.27) after being driven by said flat mirror (243.28), along with the previously driven light rays (243.26), which were driven (243.26) along said light driving pipe (243.26). Said light rays (243.7, 243.26) are hence driven towards the next concave mirror (243.8) comprised inside said light driving pipe (243.27). Said concave minor (243.8) hence concentrates said light rays (243.7, 243.26) into the lower comprised convex mirror (243.29), also comprised into said light driving pipe (243.27). So, the convex mirror (243.29) drives the light rays (243.30), in a concentrated and coherent (243.30) single light ray beam (243.30), under said concave minor (243.8), into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (243.27).
The flat set of adjusting mirrors (243.31) can be comprised in order to adjust the height of projection (243.30) of the light rays (243.30), if required, before continuing to the next piping area. Said light rays (243.7), which were driven and reflected (2417) by said flat reflection mirror (243.28), are driven (243.5) into a narrow piping member (243.6) by a light driving pipe (243.1), which hence drives said light rays (243.5) as a one beam light ray (243.5) through said piping member (243.6). This is performed (243.5) after said light rays collected by said pipe (243.1), get concentrated by a concave mirror (243.3), hence being driven through the set of height of projection adjusting mirrors (243.4), if required. Said light rays (243.5) can hence be adjusted in pint of view of height of projection by said mirrors (243.4), before these (243.5) get driven as a single light ray beam (243.5), through the narrow piping member (243.6) comprised, which drives said light rays (243.5) towards said flat reflection mirror (243.28). Said flat reflection minor (243.28) is comprised at the middle area (243.28) of the light driving pipe (243.27) concerned, where said light rays are driven (243.7) by said flat mirror (243.28) into the required direction of projection.
The light driving pipe (243.49) collects the light rays (243.30) of said previously described light driving pipe (243.27). Said pipe (243.49) hence drives the light rays (243.14) into a narrow piping area (243.32), to a flat reflection mirror (243.48), which can be comprised over the lower comprised convex mirror (243.47), as shown from a top view of the system (243.47, 243.48) comprised. Said flat mirror (243.48) and said lower comprised convex mirror (243.47), are comprised both (243.47, 243.48) into the light driving pipe (243.50) concerned. Other light rays (243.12) can project into another narrow piping member (243.13), hence finishing above or under (243.12) said flat reflection mirror (243.48), hence entering into the light driving pipe concerned (243.50), but always above said convex mirror (243.47). Said light rays (243.14) are driven by said flat mirror (243.47), along with the other light rays (243.12) of the perpendicular projecting piping member (243.13), towards a concave mirror (243.46), comprised into said light driving pipe (243.50). Said concave minor (243.50) concentrates said light rays towards the lower comprised convex mirror (243.47). So, said light rays (243.51) are driven by said lower convex mirror (243.47), in a concentrated and coherent manner (243.50, under said concave mirror (243.46). A set of flat adjusting mirrors (243.52) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (243.51), before these (243.51) get driven as a single one light ray beam (243.51) towards the heat exchanger concerned. The light rays (243.9) were driven by said light driving pipe (2412) into the narrow piping member (243.10). A set of adjusting flat mirrors can be comprised to adjust the direction of projection of said light rays (243.12) if required before being driven into said piping member (243.13), which can be housed in a box shaped structure (243.11), all making part (243_11) of the light driving pipe's (243.10, 243.13) structural members (243.10, 243.13), which should be closed (243.10, 243.13) to the outer environment's access.
Other systems (244.12, 244.27) can drive said light rays (244.38, 244.29) laterally into the light driving pipes (244.30) comprised, as well as comprising, reflecting (244.4) said incoming light rays into light drays (244.5) which project in parallel (244.5) to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (244.15), and which project (244.5) along with the other light rays (244.14) driven by said pipe (244.15), into said pipe (244.15) all together (244.5, 244.14). A light driving pipe (244.21) can comprise a concave mirror to concentrate the light rays collected by said pipe (244.21) to a lower convex mirror (244.20). Said convex mirror (244.20) drives the light rays (244.22), into the middle area (244.21) of said light driving pipe (244.21), into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (244.21). Said convex mirror (244.20) is comprised on the middle area of said light driving pipe (244.21). Said light rays (244.22) are hence driven into the narrow piping structure (244.24) from said light driving pipe (244.21), with said light driving pipe (244.24) connecting to said light driving pipe (244.21). The perpendicular projecting member (244.23) is present at the end of said light driving pipe (244.21) and the start of said piping structure (244.24), in order to adjust the diameter size (244.24) of said piping structure (224.24) to just what is required.
A set of flat reflection mirrors (244.25,244.26) can move the position of projection of said light rays (244.49), as required, by projecting with both mirrors (244.25, 244.26) at the same angles and directions of projection. So, said last flat mirror (244.25) can drive said light rays (244.29) into another narrow piping structure (244.27), to another light driving pipe (244.30). Said light driving pipe (244.30), crives said light rays (244.29) into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (244.30). The start of the light driving pipe (244.30) comprises a perpendicular projecting member (24428), which enlarges the diameter of the light driving pipe (244.30), in order for said pipe (244.30) to comprise the required diameter for light ray collection. The light rays (244.29) are driven laterally to a concave mirror (244.32), which concentrates said light rays to a lower comprised convex mirror (244.31). Said convex mirror (244.31) drives said light rays (244.33) in a coherent and concentrated manner (244.33), under said concave mirror (244.32) comprised. Said light rays (244.33) can hence be driven into said light driving pipe (244.34) as required, as a one beam light ray projection (244.33). Said concave (244.32) and convex (24431) mirrors, are all comprised into said light driving pipe (244.30), which is united to the other following light driving pipe (244.34) comprised.
The light transfer pipe (244.13), which drives the light rays (244.14) into the light driving pipe (244.15) of said other piping system (244.15), collects the light rays (244.14), projecting (244.14) at the middle area of said light driving pipe (244.15). A flat reflection mirror (244.4), can be comprised reflecting (244.4) the light rays which project towards it (244.4) into a narrow pipe concentrating member (244.3), into the direction of projection (244.5) of said light driving pipe (244.15). Therefore, said flat mirror (244.4) reflects and drives (244.4) said light rays (244.5) into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (244.15), along with the light rays (244.14) that were previously driven (244.14) into said light driving pipe (244.15) by said other light driving pipe (244.13). Said flat mirror (244.4), is comprised along the lateral side (244.4) of the light driving pipe (244.15), hence maximising the space given to said light rays (244.14), which are driven along the middle area (244.14) of said light driving pipe (244.15). So, both light rays (244.5,244.14) are driven in parallel to each other (244.5, 244.14), into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (244.15), hence being driven towards a concave mirror (244.18) comprised into said pipe (244.15). Said concave mirror (244.18) concentrates said light rays (244.5, 244.14) towards a lower comprised convex mirror (244.16), also comprised into said light driving pipe (244.15). Said mid projecting light rays (244.14) are always comprised over the surface level, where said convex mirror (244.16) is comprised. Said concave mirror (244.16) hence drives the light rays (244.17), in a coherent and concentrated manner (244.17), under said concave mirror (244.18), into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (244.15), Said concentrated light rays (244.17) are driven to a set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (244.19), such that said light rays (244.17) can be adjusted in the height of projection's point of view (244.17), before being driven further into the piping system (244.15) concerned. The light rays (244.5) coming into said flat reflection mirror (244.4), are driven by the light driving pipe (244.1) concerned, into the narrow piping member (244.3) towards said flat reflection and driving mirror (244.4).
Another light driving pipe (244.2), can drive its light rays (244.10) into a narrow piping area (244.11), as only a single light ray beam (244.10) should be comprised being driven into said area (244.11) after the concentration being performed by said concave and convex mirrors comprised into said light driving pipe (244.2). The light rays (244.10) are driven towards a flat reflection mirror (244.7), which drives said light rays (244.10) into a set of four flat reflection mirrors (244.7, 244.8). So, said last flat reflection mirror (244.8), can drive said light rays (244.38) into the following narrow piping area (244.12). Said set of flat adjusting mirrors (244.7, 244.8) are comprised to adjust the position of projection of said light rays (244.10, 244.38) towards said next light driving pipe (244.41). Said flat reflection mirrors (244.7, 244.8) can be comprised inside a box shaped structure (244.6), which should be sealed and locked (244.6) from the outer environment, in order to maximise safety of the public and simultaneously, and to minimise maintenance costs of the system (244.7,244.8). The narrow piping space (244.12), drives said light rays (244.38) into the next light driving pipe (244.41), into the side of the flat reflection mirror (244.37). Said flat reflection minor (244.37) reflects and drives (244.37) the light rays (244.35) driven into the narrow piping area (244.36) by said light driving pipe (244.340_ So, the light rays (244.35) are driven by the flat minor (244.37), in a perpendicular direction, towards said next concave mirror (244.39).
This is performed (244.35, 244.37) along with the laterally projecting light rays (244.38), which are driven from said narrow piping area (244.12), hence being driven (244.12) in parallel to the other light rays reflected by said flat mirror (244.37), towards said concave mirror (244.39) comprised. The concave minor (244.39) concentrates all of said light rays (244.38) towards a lower comprised convex mirror (244.42). Said lower comprised convex mirror (244.42), drives the light rays (244.41), in a coherent and concentrated manner (244.41), into the piping direction and under said concave mirror (244.39) comprised. A set of flat light ray adjusting mirrors (244.40) can be comprised to adjust the height of projection of said light rays (244.41), before these (244.41) get driven towards the heat exchanger concerned. Said light rays (244.38) from said piping member (244.12), project beside said flat reflection mirror (244.37). This means that said flat reflection mirror (244.37) can be comprised at any height beside said parallel projecting light rays (244.38), but should however always be comprised above the lower comprised convex mirror (244.42), as said convex mirror (244.42) should be comprised at the lowest level comprised into the piping system concerned. The piping structures (244.12, 244.36), are sustained into position by a set of horizontally projecting sustaining members, which are sustained by a set of external sustaining members (244.9), which sustain said piping structure (244.12, 244.36) by supporting it (244.12. 244.36) over the ground floor. Said external supporting members (244.9), are horizontally projecting members (244.9), which project horizontally (244.9), and comprise members that sustain said structure (244.9) over the ground floor level concerned.
Other light ray collection systems (245.30), can comprise the flat reflection mirrors (245.4) which reflect the light rays (245.3) of other light driving pipes, into a sideways pattern (245.5), which projects in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (245.30), along the light driving pipe (245.30), such that both light rays (245.5) and flat reflection mirror (245.4) are comprised along the lateral side of the light driving pipe (245.30). So, said previously driven light rays (245.24) can be driven by the flat mirror (245.25) of said narrow pipe member (245.27), through said light driving pipe (245.30) over or under said flat reflection mirror (245.4), such that both of said light rays (245.5, 245.24) project in parallel to each other (245.5, 245.24), and over each other (245.5, 245.24), towards the next concave mirror (245.32) in question. Said concave minor (245.32) is comprised inside said light driving pipe (245.30). Said system (245.30) can also comprise adjusting sets of flat minors (245.47, 245.48), which are comprised in box shaped structural members (245.8, 245.3) in order to house said mirrors (245.47, 245.48) as required. Said minors (245.47, 245.48) can hence adjust the direction of projection of said light rays (245.9, 245.33, 245.39, 245.45) as required. Both light rays (245.5, 245.24) project in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (245.30) in question.
A light driving pipe (245.35) can drive the light rays that it collected into its light driving pipe (245.35), into said pipe (245.35) towards the next concave mirror (245.37) that is being comprised inside said light driving pipe (245.35). Said concave mirror (245.37) can hence concentrate said light rays towards a lower comprised convex miner (245.36), also comprised inside said light driving pipe (245.35). Said light rays are driven by said convex mirror (245.36) under said concave minor (245.37). Said rays can be driven to a set of flat adjusting mirrors (245.38), which can adjust the height of projection of said light rays (245.39), as required, before said rays (245.39) get driven into the piping structure (245.35). Said light rays (245.39) are hence driven into a narrow piping member (245.41), as only a single light ray beam (245.39) is supposed to be driven there. Perpendicular projecting members (245.40) can be comprised to narrow the diameter of the piping (245.35, 245.41), from said light driving pipe (245.35) to said light transfer pipe (245.41). A box shaped structural member (245.43) can comprise a set of four flat adjusting mirrors (245.47, 245.48). Said mirrors (245_47, 245.48) can reflect said light rays (245.39), in order to adjust these (245.39) in terms of the exact direction of projection that said rays (245.39) need to take. So, the initial flat minor (245.47) reflects the light rays, and the final flat mirror (245.48), drives said light rays (245.45) into the following lateral piping member (245.44). Said piping member (245.44), drives the light rays (245.45) into the lateral side area of the next light driving pipe (245.46), hence entering said light rays (245.45) into said light driving pipe (245.46). Another perpendicular member (245.49) can project to make the piping (245.44, 245.46) diameter wider again, from said light transfer pipe (245.44) to said light driving pipe (245.46). A perpendicular member (245.42) can be comprised to make sure that said box structural member (245.43) is sealed from the outer environment, as well as sustaining (245.42) said initial flat reflection mirror (245.47) in its required position of projection.
In said light driving pipe (245.46), said light ray beam (245.45) is driven towards the next concave mirror (245.51) comprised into said pipe (245,46). Said concave mirror (245.51) concentrates the light rays (245.45) towards the lower frontally projecting convex mirror (245.50), being comprised also inside said light driving pipe (245.46). Said convex mirror (245.46) hence drives the light rays as a single light ray beam under said concave mirror (245.51). A flat reflection minor (245.23) can drive said light rays into the next bit of light driving pipe (245.52), as is required. Another light driving pipe (245.34) can drive its light rays to a concave mirror (245.20) comprised into said pipe (245.34). Said concave mirror (245.34) concentrates said light rays towards a lower comprised concave mirror (245.19), also comprised into said light driving pipe (245.34). Said convex mirror (245.34) drives the light rays (245.23) under said concave mirror (245.20). Said light rays (24123) are hence driven along the light driving pipe (245.21). Said light driving pipe (245.21) drives said light rays (245.23) into a narrow piping member (245.26). At the end of said piping member (245.26), said light rays (245.23) are reflected by a flat reflection minor (245.25), in order to drive said light rays (245.24) into another following piping member (245.27), Said flat reflection mirror (245.25) reflects said light rays (245.23), and drives these (245.24) through a piping structure (245.27). Said piping structure (245.27) drives said light rays (245.45) into a new light driving pipe (245.30).
Said light rays (245.24) are driven into said new light driving pipe (245.30), along the lateral area of projection, along said pipe (245.30), while projecting along the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (245.30) concerned. Said light rays (245.24) are comprised inside said light driving pipe (245.30), and hence inside the wall member (245.22), which makes the wall of said light driving pipe (245.22) a reality. Said wall structure (245.22) separates the outside from the inside (245.30) of said light driving pipe (245.30) concerned. The wall member (245.22) is shared by the narrow piping member (245.27) and the light driving pipe (245.30) simultaneously at the same time, as the light rays (245.24) are delivered by said piping member (245.27), laterally adjacent to the wall member (245.22) of the light driving pipe (245.30) concerned. A perpendicular projecting member (245.28), comprised between the two pipes (245.27, 245.30) opens the diameter wider light driving pipe (245.30), hence transferring from said narrow piping area (245.27) to said light driving pipe (245.30) concerned. The piping structure (245.30) of the light driving pipe (245.30) is sustained by the horizontally projecting members (245.29), which are sustained to the outer sustaining horizontally projecting members.
Another light driving pipe (245.2) drives the light rays that it collected, through the pipe (245.2), and hence towards the narrow piping area comprised, which drives said light rays (245.3) to a flat reflection mirror (245.4) comprised inside said light driving pipe (245.30) concerned. Said light rays (245.3) are driven into said light driving pipe (245.30), with said flat reflection minor (245.4) being comprised laterally to the side of the linear projection of said light driving pipe (245.30). The flat reflection minor (245.4) can be comprised over or under the light rays projecting direction of said other light rays (245.24), which project into the same direction (245_24) as that towards which said flat mirror (245.4) is comprised. Said flat minor (245.4) hence drives the light rays (245.3) into the path of projection of said light driving pipe (245.30), hence driving said light rays (245.5) into the path of projection of said light driving pipe (245.30), into said light driving pipe (245.30). In said light driving pipe (245.30), said previously driven light rays (245.24) and said newly reflected light rays (245.5) by said flat reflection minor (245.4), are driven in a parallel (245.4, 245.24) and coherent direction of projection (245.4, 245.24). Said light rays (245.4, 245.24) are hence driven along said lateral wall member (245.22), and hence into said light driving pipe (245.30), over or under each other (245.4, 245.24), projecting into the same direction of projection, in parallel to (245.30) and into (245.30) the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (245.4, 245.30) concerned. This proves that said design (245.30) with both light rays (245.4, 245.24) projecting over each other (245.4, 245.24), is a p y feasible option, from the design (245.4, 245.30) point of view, hence giving a wide choice of options for customers interested in the design concerned (245.4, 245.30).
The light rays (245.4, 245.24) are hence driven over each other (245.4,245.24), into the same direction of projection, in said light driving pipe (245.30), towards a concave mirror (245.32). Said concave mirror (245.32) is comprised inside said pipe (245.30). Said concave mirror (245.32) concentrates said light rays towards the lower comprised convex mirror (245.6), also comprised inside said light driving pipe (245.30). Said convex mirror (245.6) drives the light rays (245.31), in a coherent and concentrated manner (245.31), under said concave mirror (245.32) comprised. Said light rays (245.31) are driven into the direction of projection of said piping structure (245.30), into the next piping area concerned. Another light driving pipe (245.1), drives the light rays that it collected towards a concave mirror (245.7), comprised into said light driving pipe 9245.1) structure. Said concave mirror (245.7) concentrates said light rays to a convex mirror, which drives said light rays (245.9), in a coherent and concentrated manner (245.9), towards a light transfer piping member. Said piping member drives said light rays (245.9) to a box shaped structure (245.8), which is comprised in a set of four adjusting flat mirrors, in order to adjust the direction of projection of said light rays (245.33) after said rays (245.9) passed through said box shaped structural member (245.8). Said light rays (245.33) are hence driven into the next piping member (245.10), to the next light driving pipe concerned (245.16).
Said light rays (245.33) hence enter into said light driving pipe (245.16) along the lateral wall surface member (245.14). As said light rays (245.33) are driven laterally to the wall member (245.14) of said light driving pipe (245.16), said wall member remains unchanged with the distance (245.14) that it (245.14) has from the light rays (245.33). The light rays (245.33) hence enter into a piping structure (245.16), which initially projected perpendicularly to the direction of projection of both piping structure (245.16) and light rays (245.33) concerned. Said light rays (245.33) project beside a convex mirror (245.18), comprised at the lowest level of said light driving pipe (245_16) concerned. On the other side of said concave mirror (245.18), a flat reflection mirror (245.11) drives the light rays (245.12) driven by said piping structure (245.52) into said narrow piping member (245.13), into the light driving pipe (245.16) concerned. Said flat minor (245.11) is comprised inside the light driving pipe (245.16) concerned. The light transfer pipe (245.13), transfers the light rays (245.12) to the flat reflection mirror (245.11) comprised inside the light driving pipe (245.16) concerned, where all light rays (245.33, 245.12) are being driven to. The light rays (245.33, 245.12) are driven by said flat reflection mirrors (245.11), towards a concave mirror (245.17) comprised inside said light driving pipe (245.16). Said concave mirror (245.17) concentrates said light rays towards the lower comprised convex mirror (245.18). Said convex mirror (245.18) can drive said light rays (245.15), in a coherent and concentrated manner (245.15), under said concave minor (245.17), and hence towards the heat exchanger concerned, as required.
The fact that said light rays (245.24) are driven under or over said light rays (245.5) reflected by said flat reflection mirror (245.4), proves that said concept is possible and practicable to use as an option to consider in the design (245.4, 245.30) as well, if required by the customer. Said light rays (245.33) always should project above the height of projection of said convex mirror (245.18), which is comprised at the lowest level along said light driving pipe (245.16). Said fiat reflection mirror (245.11), as it is comprised beside said convex mirror (245.18), can be comprised at any projection height as required, according to the design of the other light delivery piping (245.13) comprised, but should however stay inside said light driving pipe structure (245.16) concerned. The wall members (245.14) of said pipe (245.16), close and seal it from the outer environment, as required, to hence save maintenance costs of the system (245.16), and to improve safety to the outer public concerned.
A square shaped light driving pipe (246.4), can comprise the upper convex light receiving mirror (246.1), being comprised upwards (246.1), at the highest upper point (246.1), but in the middle of said square shaped piping structure (246.4). The light driving pipes (246.5), can drive the light rays to the flat reflection mirrors (246.6, 246.8), which can hence drive said light rays into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (246.4). The wide flat reflection mirror (246.6) can be comprised in order to reflect and drive (246.6) light rays of a plurality of light driving pipes (246.5), which project perpendicularly from other systems, into the piping structure (246.4) concerned, hence driving said light rays in the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (246.4). The lower concave mirror (246.7) can be comprised along the bottom area (246.7) of said piping structure (246.4) concerned. The upper (246.2) lateral member to said upper convex mirror (246.1), can hence be used to collect the light rays from other parallel projecting pipes (246.2) to said piping structure (246.4), which projects in parallel to the direction of projection of said piping structure (246.4). The same can be done down (246.3) at the middle of the piping structure (246.1). A parallel projecting light driving pipe, can deliver the light rays into said lower area (246.3) into said piping structure (246.4), with all the space and area as required (246.3). Said light rays project into the direction of projection of said piping structure (246.4), while keeping all of the design aspects of said piping structure (246.4) functional and intact, while driving said piping functions (246.2, 246.3). Said lower space (246.3) can receive a plurality of parallel projecting light driving pipes, if required. The pipes (246.5) should project beside each other (246.5), hence as a plurality of pipes (246.5), if a plurality (246.5) of pipes is to be projected into said wide flat mirror (246,6) comprised into said piping structure (246.4).
In circular shaped light driving pipes (247.7), the upper concave mirror (247.1) can be comprised along the top area (247.1) of said piping structure (247.7). The lower concave mirror (247.8) can be comprised just along the bottom (247.8) of said piping structure (247.7). The bottom minor (247.8) collects and drives the light rays. The upper mirror (247.1) collects the light rays from said concave mirrors, which is why these mirrors (247.1) need to always be comprised along the top position (247.1) along the circular piping structure (247.7) comprised. Light driving pipes (247.6) can drive the light rays from other solar light ray collection systems, into said light driving pipe (247.7), with said flat reflection mirrors (247.2, 247.3) reflecting and driving the light rays into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (247.7). The wide flat reflection mirror (247.3) can be used to reflect and drive the light rays of a plurality (247.6) of light driving pipes (247.6), into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (247./). Said pipes (247.6) should in this case project beside each other, hence maximising the use of said wide flat reflection mirror (247.3) comprised. The space is comprised (247.4, 247.5) to receive light rays from a parallel projecting light rays beam (247.4,247.5), which should deliver the light rays to the piping member (247.7) comprised. So, beside said convex mirror (247.1) said light driving pipe can deliver the light rays to the upper comprised space (247.2) concerned. If more space or area (247.3) is required, the lower space (247.5) can receive the light rays from one or more parallel projecting light driving pipes into said piping member (247.7) concerned. Hence, recovering a plurality of light driving pipes, projecting beside each other towards said piping structure (247.7), through said lower space (247.5) concerned. Said space (247.5) offers a wider space (247.5) for light ray reception, if required.
Another piping structure (248.4), can comprise the flat receiving convex mirror (248.3) comprised just at the top of said inner piping structure's (248.4) volume, in order to receive the light rays for said upper concave mirror-The light driving pipe (248.4) is in this case again a square shaped light driving pipe structure (248.4), but with said upper light ray receiving convex mirror (248.3) being comprised along the upper area (248.3), and at the same diameter width as the rest of the mirrors (248.9, 248.6, 248.7, 248.8) comprised inside said piping structure (248.4). The lateral mirrors (248.9) can be comprised just beside said light receiving convex mirror (248.3) if required. Light driving pipes (248.5) can drive light rays from other solar light ray collection systems, into the piping member (248.4) comprised. So, a flat reflection mirror (248.6), comprised into said piping member (248.4), can drive the light rays into the piping member's (248.4) direction of projection, as required. If a plurality of pipes (248.5) is present, projection should be preferably comprised in parallel and beside each other (248.5), and said pipes (248.5) should project to the piping structure (248.4). So, a wide flat reflection mirror (248.8) can be comprised (248.8) to reflect and drive said light rays (248.8) from said plurality of light driving pipes (248.5), into the direction of projection of said piping structure (248.4) comprised. The lowest convex driving mirror (248.7) is to be comprised along the bottom area of said piping structure (248.4), hence maximising the space available to said other flat reflection mirrors (248.9, 248.6, 248.8) comprised. The upper space (248.1) beside said upper light ray receiving convex mirror (248.3), can be used for the piping member (248.4) to receive the light rays of a parallel projecting pipe, to the direction of projection of said piping member (248.4), without damaging the functional integrity of the mirrors (248.3, 248.7, 248.9, 248.6, 248.8) of the piping structure (248.4) concerned. The lower area (2481) can also be used to receive the light rays from parallel projecting pipes, which project as single pipes, or as a plurality of pipes (248.2), all together towards the direction of projection of the light driving pipe (248.4). The upper area (248.1) can also accommodate the same function (248.1), if the space given is wide enough. So, said lower area (248.2) can receive the light rays of a plurality of light ray driving pipes, protecting in parallel to the direction of projection of said piping member (248.4), without damaging the integrity and functionality of said mirrors (248.3, 248.7, 248.9, 248.6, 248.8) comprised inside said piping structure (248.4). The upper area (248.1) can also receive a plurality of light driving pipes, projecting as a plurality and beside each other, into the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (248.4). This depends on the piping (248.4) width used for the system in question. The design of the piping widths (248.4) is entirely up to customer requirements and customer demands, as required.
The solar light ray collection systems (249.2) can be comprised on offshore members (249.1), being comprised floating (249.16) or sustained (249.18) over the water surface (249.7), with said pipe (249.26) driving the light rays (249.8) to an on shore (249.27) solar light ray collection system (249.10), also for power generation (249.13) applications. An off shore floating member (249.1) can hence comprise a solar ray collection system (249.2), hence collecting the solar light rays (249.3) to the light driving pipe (249.2), of said off shore system (249.2) comprised. The off shore floating member (249.1) is situated over the surface (249.7) of the water comprised (249.7). Said off shore member (249.20) is sustained over the water surface (249.7) by floating, with tensely stressed pipe members (249.16) sustaining said member (249.20) to the ground floor level (249.19) by attaching (249.16) to fixed members (249.17), comprised being attached (249.17) to the ground floor area (249.19) of the river or sea bed concerned (249.19). Alternatively, said floating offshore member (249.20) can be sustained over the water level (249.7) by rigid sustaining vertical members (249.18), which attach (249.18) said member (249.20) to the lower ground floor surface (249.19) comprised along the river or sea bed (249.19) concerned. The light driving pipe (249.2) hence drives the light rays (249.4) over said upper surface (249.1) of said member (249.20), to a flat reflection mirror (249.5).
Said flat mirror (249.5), drives said light rays (249.4) into a downward projecting pipe (249.6), which drives said light rays (249.4) under the water surface (249.7). Said pipe (249.22) is hence driven under the water surface (249.7), and is sustained by vertical members (249.21) over the ground level (249.19) of the sea or river bed (249.19) concerned. A flat minor (249.23) drives said light rays (249.26) up into an upward projecting pipe to another flat reflection mirror (249.24). Said pipe is sustained by rigid members (249.25) to the crusts comprised under the water level (249.7). As said flat minor (249.24) is already comprised above the water surface level (249.7), said light rays (249.26) are driven by said flat mirror (249.24), into a horizontally projecting light driving pipe (249.8), where said light rays (249.8) are driven horizontally towards the next light driving pipe (249.10) comprised. The light driving pipe (249.10) projects horizontally and in parallel to said light ray (249.8) driving pipe 9249.8) concerned. The light rays (249.8) driving pipe is sustained by rigid members (249.9) over the ground floor surface (249.11), on said on shore comprised (249.27) system. Both of said pipes (249.2, 249.8) are driven in parallel, into a path (249.12) to the heat exchanger concerned (249.13), which is comprised on shore (249.27) as the light driving pipe (249.2) concerned. The heat exchanger simultaneously drives the heat of the projected light rays (249.8) to the energy storage fluid pipe (249.28), which supplies heat to the boiler (249.30), as well as to the pipe (249.14) that drives the steam turbine (249.15), hence driving a generator set (249.29). Said generator set (249.29) generates the required electrical current.
The light rays (250.1) can be driven into said upward projecting light driving pipe, to a flat reflection minor (2501). Said flat mirror (250.2) is comprised in said pipe, and can hence drive said light rays (250.4) into a horizontally projecting pipe (250.3) towards the on shore (250.9) comprised light driving pipe (250.6) concerned. Said light driving pipe (250.3) hence drives said light rays (250.4) directly into the inner area of said light driving pipe (250.6), which makes part of the solar ray collection system comprised on shore (250.9), as required. Said light driving pipe (250.3) is sustained by rigid vertical sustaining members (250/) to the on shore ground floor surface (250.9) concerned. Said light driving pipe (250.6) comprises an inner opening, for said light driving pipe (250.3), to deliver the light rays (250.4) into said light driving pipe (250.6), as required. The pipe (250.3) and light driving pipe (250.6) are closed and sealed off form the outer environment, in order to minimise maintenance costs of the system (250.6), as well as to maximise safety to the outer public. The light rays (250.4) driven by said light driving pipe (250.3), are driven straight into a concave mirror (250.5). Said concave mirror (250.5) not only collects said light rays (250.4) of said light driving pipe (250.3), but also the rays that were collected by said system. Said rays (250.4) are hence concentrated into a lower comprised convex mirror (250.8). Said convex mirror (250.8) drives said light rays further into said light driving pipe (250.6), hence into the direction of projection of said pipe (250.6), comprised on shore (250.9). So, said light driving pipe (250.6) not only can be used to drive the light rays concentrated by said system (250.6) towards the heat exchanger, but can also drive other light rays from other systems, simultaneously through the same pipe (250.6), by the means of the concave mirror (250.5). Said concave mirror (250.5) concentrates all incoming light rays into a single beam light ray, after being driven by said convex minor (250.8). So, said heat exchanger can comprise only one pipe (250.6) projection, but for a plurality of light ray collection systems comprised, hence minimising piping (250.3) concentration costs. This also can reduce the space required to be exposed by said heat exchanger.
A light driving pipe (251.6) system, can be comprised on an off shore (251.1) comprised floating member (251.1), which hence comprises a solar ray collection system (251.6) being comprised on an off shore floating vessel (251.20). Said vessel (251.20) can be either floating on said water surface (251.9), with stressed members that attach said member (251.20) to the sea or river bed (251_21), or rigid vertical members which attach said member (251.20) to the river or sea bead (251.21) concerned. On the upper surface (251.1) of said floating member (251.20) concerned, said light ray collection system (251.6) comprises a light driving pipe (251.6), above which the concave (251.2) and flat light ray collection mirrors (251.3,251.5) are comprised. So, the light rays (251.4) from the sun can be collected by said mirrors (251.3, 251.5), and be concentrated by said concave mirrors (251.2) into the light driving pipe (251.6) concerned. Said upper (251.5) and lower (251.3) light ray collection mirrors (251.3, 251.5), collect the solar light rays (251.4) as required. Said solar ray collection system (251.6) is comprised on the floating vessel's (251.20) surface (251.1), and hence over the water level surface (251.9). Said light driving pipe (251.6) drives the light rays (251.7) along a downward projecting pipe (251.8). A flat reflection mirror (251.22) comprised in said pipe (251.8), drives the light rays through a piping structure (251.23) under the water level surface (251.9).
Said pipe (251.23) is sustained to the river or sea bed (251.21) by vertically projecting members. Said pipe (251.27) hence drives the light rays (251.7) into a horizontally projecting pipe (251.10), on the shore (251.13) surface terrain, towards the heat exchanger (251.12). Said heat exchanger (251.12) hence receives the heat form said piping member (251.10) comprised. Simultaneously, on the other side of said heat exchanger (251.12), another light driving pipe (251.14) projects in the opposite direction (251.14), driving the light rays (251.26) collected by said system (251.14), towards said heat exchanger (251.14). So, said heat exchanger (251.12) receives light rays from both pipes (251.10, 251.26) at the same time, hence collecting the light rays (251.7) and driving the heat to the energy storage system (251.25) and said steam turbine (251.11) simultaneously. Both of said heat exchanger (251.12), energy storage fluid tank (251.25), steam turbine (251.11), and light ray collection system (251.14), are all comprised on shore (251.13). The light driving pipe (251.14) drives said light rays over the on shore surface (251.13) towards The last pipe (251.26), which drives said light rays to the heat exchanger (251.12) concerned. Said on shore (251.13) comprised light driving pipe (251.14), projects into the opposite direction (251.26) as said other light my collection system (251.6), where the light rays (251.7) are collected. The light collection mirrors (251.17, 251.18) being arranged into a different manner to that on the off shore (251.1, 251.21) comprised system (251.3, 251.5).
On each side of the heat exchanger (251.12), the piping (251.6,251.14) of the light driving pipes, projects opposite to each other (251.6, 251.14), as said heat exchanger (251.12) comprises light driving pipes (251.10, 251.26) which drive the light rays (251.7) into said heat exchanger (251.12). This means that the left pipe (251.10) drives the light rays (251.7) to a side of the heat exchanger, while the right pipe (251.26) drives the light rays to the other side of the heat exchanger (251.12) simultaneously. As both systems (251.6, 251.14) project opposite to each other, said concave mirrors (251.2) of the off shore (251.1) comprised system (251.6), project into the opposite direction as the concaVe minors (251.19) comprised on the on shore (251.13) comprised system (251.14). So, in this case, the light rays (251.4, 251.15) project towards the lower flat light ray collection mirror (251.3) of said off shore (251.1) comprised system (251.6). So, the upper light collection mirror (251.5) is comprised perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light rays (251.4), in order to minimise obstruction of said mirror (251.5) for said light rays (251.4), hence maximising light ray collection efficiency for said lower flat light ray collection mirror (251.3). Said mirror (251.3) drives said light rays to the concave mirrors (251.2), towards the heat exchanger (251.12) comprised, which drives said light rays into the light driving pipe (251.6). On the on shore side (251.13) however, said light rays (251.15) are received by the upper light ray collection minor (251.17), which drives said light rays (251.16) into the lower flat light ray collection mirror (251.18) comprised.
Said lower light ray collection mirror (251.18) drives the light rays towards the heat exchanger (251.12) comprised, but into the opposite direction to the off shore (251.1) comprised system (251.6). Said mirrors (251.18) hence drive the light rays to the concave mirror (251.19), also towards the heat exchanger concerned (251.12). Said concave mirror (251.19) drives the light rays to the light driving pipe (251.14) comprised under said systems (251.19). The light driving pipe (251.14) drives the light rays to a pipe (251.26), which gets to the heat exchanger's (251.12) walls, simultaneously as the other pipe (251.6) drives the light rays (251.7) to the light driving pipe (251.10) comprised on the other side, such that both pipes (251.10, 251.26) transmit the heat of the light rays (251.7) simultaneously to the heat exchanger (251.12) concerned. The system configuration (251.6, 251.14) proves that two oppositely comprised light driving pipes (251.6, 251.14), can drive the light rays (251.7) into exactly the same manner, but opposite to each other (251.2, 251.19), towards the heat exchanger (251.12) concerned. Said systems (251.6, 251.14) are designed to project into the required direction to collect the light rays from the sun (251.4, 251.15), independently of the orientation of projection of each system, as well as the directions of projection (251.6, 251.14) of the light driving pipes (251.6, 251.14) of the systems (251.6, 251.14) concerned. Said concave minors (251.2, 251.19) project opposite to each other (251.2, 251.19), and drive the light rays into the lower comprised light driving pipe (251.6, 251.14) concerned for the case of each of the two systems (251.6,251.14). Said system design (251.6, 251.14) shows the maximised functionality and modular design that it can be applied to said systems (251.6,251.14). All systems (251.6, 251.14) can operate separately from each other, in order to collect the light rays from the sun (251.4, 151.15), as said systems (251.6, 251.14) were designed for. Each solar light ray collection system (251.6,251.14) operates separately and independently, according to the direction of projection of said mirrors (251.2, 251.19), which can comprise a plurality of reflections of projection of said mirrors (251.2, 251.19) for each system (251.6, 251.14) concerned. The systems (251.6, 251.14) can each comprise a separate computer system, a plurality of computer systems, or one computer system for each system (251.6, 251.14) concerned.
The light rays of a solar light ray collection system (252.12) comprised on shore (252.25), can also be driven through the light driving pipe (252.12) to the last pipe (252.11), which would drive said rays (252.10) under the water surface level (252.2), in order to be supplied to the heat exchanger system (252.6). This time, said heat exchanger system (252.6) can be comprised on the top surface (252.4) an off shore floating vessel (252.5), which floats over the water level surface (252.2) Over the sea or river bed (252.180. A solar light ray collection system (252.1) is comprised with said heat exchanger (252.6) on said surface (252.4) of said vessel (252.5), which supplies (252.1) the light rays through another pipe (252.19) to the other side of the heat exchanger concerned (252.6). So, the light driving pipe (252.12) of the on shore (252.25) system, collects the light rays from the plurality of concave mirrors (252.13) comprised over it (252.12), and hence drives said light rays through the pipe (252.12) to the end projecting pipe (252.11). Said pipe drives the light rays by flat reflection mirrors, to an underwater piping structure (252.22). Said piping structure (252.22) drives the light rays under the water level surface (252.2), over the river or sea bed (252.18). The pipe then exits the water, and is driven on said upper floating vessel's (252.5) surface (252.4), along a horizontally projecting pipe (252.21) to the heat exchanger concerned (252.6).
Simultaneously, the light driving pipe (252.1) of the off shore (252.2) comprised (252.5) solar ray collection system (252.1), collects the light rays from the plurality of concave mirrors (252.16). So, said light rays are driven by said pipe (252.1) over the upper surface (252.4) of said flatting vessel (252.5) to the final projecting pipe (252.19), which drives said light rays to the other side of the heat exchanger concerned (252.6). So, both pipes (252.19, 252.21) drive the light rays simultaneously, each (252.19, 252.21) to a side of the heat exchanger concerned (252.6). Said heat exchanger (252.6) collects the heat and transmits it to both the steam turbine (252.7) driving fluid and the energy storage fluid (252.9) simultaneously. The steam turbine (252.7) is driven to drive a generator set (252.8) that produces the required electrical current The energy storage fluid is stored inside the energy storage fluid tank (252.9). As said generator set (252.8) is comprised off shore (252.4, 252.5), an electrical pipe (252.20) is driven offshore, such that said electrical pipe (25123) flows with electrical cables (252.23) along the sea or river bed (252.18) as required (252.23), until finally rising on shore (252.25). On shore (252.25), said electrical pipe (252.24) drives the electrical cables to the required place for power distribution and usage, as required.
Both light driving pipes (252.1, 252.12) project opposite to each other (252.1,252.12), such that the off shore (252.4, 252.5) pipe (252.1) projects towards the heat exchanger (252.6) and to the other pipe (252.12) comprised, and opposite to the on shore (252.25) pipe (251.12), which projects towards the heat exchanger (252.6) and towards said other pipe (252.1) comprised. So, the off shore (252.5) comprised (252.2) system (252.4), comprises the lower flat light collection mirrors (252.17), driving the light rays to said concave mirror (252.16), which projects opposite to said heat exchanger system (252.6). The upper flat light ray collection mirror 252.15) is positioned perpendicularly to the incoming light rays, in order to minimise obstruction. The on shore (252.25) comprised system (252.12) however, comprises the top light ray flat collection mirrors (252.14) collecting the light rays, and projecting these to the lower flat light ray collection mirrors (252.26). So, said lower flat light ray collection mirrors (252.26) can drive the light rays to the concave mirrors (252.13) comprised. Said concave mirrors (252.13) project in the opposite direction to said heat exchanger (252.6). The light driving pipes (252.1, 252.12) collect the light rays from the concave mirrors (252.16, 252.13) comprised on the two off shore (252.4) and on shore (252.25) sides (252.1,252.12), and hence drive the light rays to the two pipes (252.19, 252.21) which drive the light rays to the heat exchanger system (252.6) from the two sides (252.19, 252.21), simultaneously (252.19, 252.21) as required.
The on shore (253.10) comprised light driving pipe (253.9) can drive the light rays through a piping structure (253.7, 253.8, 253.2), such that said light rays (253.5) get projected, along with another light driving pipe (253.6) towards the heat exchanger system (253.1) comprised, on an off shore (253.16) comprised (253.3) floating vessel (253.4). So, the light driving pipe (253.9) of a solar ray collection system (253.9), can be comprised on shore (253.10), and can hence drive the light rays to the last follow up pipe (253.8). Said pipe (253.8) can then drive said light rays, by the means of flat reflection minors, to the piping structure (253.7), comprised on the off shore (253.16) floating vessel (253.4). Said piping structure (253.7) can hence project said light rays (253.5), horizontally to the upper surface (253.16) of said floating vessel (253.4), to the last pipe (253.2), which drives said rays (253.5) to the heat exchanger system (253.1) concerned. Simultaneously, the light driving pipe (253.6) comprised on the off shore (253.16) floating vessel (253.4), can drive its own collected light rays through said pipe (253.6) to the last pipe (253.15), which will also drive said light rays to the side surface of the heat exchanger system (253.1) concerned. Although both systems (253.2, 253.15) drive the light rays (253.5) from said pipes (253.6, 253.7) to said same side (253.1) of the same heat exchanger (253.1), both piping systems (253.6, 253.7) comprise pipes (253.2, 253.15) which are totally separate to each other (253.6, 253.7).
The heat exchanger system (253.1) collects the heat of the light rays (253.5) supplied by both light driving pipes (253.2, 253.15), and uses said heat to drive a steam turbine (253.14). Said steam turbine (253.14) in turn drives a generator set (253.13), which generates the required electrical current, as required. As said generator set (253.13) is comprised on an off shore (253.16) comprised (253.3) floating vessel (253.4), said generated electrical current, is transmitted through an electrical pipe (253.12) from the off shore (253.16) system. Said pipe (253.12) is hence driven along the sea or river bed (253.18) as a continuous wire (253.17) until reaching the on shore (253.10) terrain. On said on shore terrain (253.10), said electrical piping structure (253.11) is driven to the power distribution and supply network, as required. The off shore floating vessel (253.4) comprises an upper surface (253.16), on which said pipes (253.6, 253.7) and heat exchanger (253.1) components are comprised. Said floating vessel (253.4), floats over the water surface level (253.3), as required.
The on shore (254.11) comprised light driving pipe (254.10), can drive the light rays towards a piping structure (254.7) that is comprised over the upper surface (254.4) of a floating vessel (254.3), such that said light rays (254.5) are driven into the light driving pipe (254.12) of the solar light ray collection system (254.1) comprised on the off shore (254.4) floating vessel (254.3). So, this system (254.7) design (254.12) would reduce the piping to be concentrated (254.7) in order to drive said light rays (254.5) to the heat exchanger concerned. So, the light driving pipe (254.10) of an on shore (254.11) comprised solar ray collection system (254.10), drives the light rays that it collected, to the final light driving pipe (254.9). Said pipe (254.9) drives the light rays from shore (254.11) to the off shore (254.2) comprised floating vessel (254.3) concerned. Said piping (254.7) is hence driven over the upper surface (254.4) of the floating vessel (254.3) concerned. Said piping structure (254.9) is driven to the position, over the surface (254.4) of said off shore (254.2) floating vessel (254.3) by the means of flat reflection mirrors. So, said light rays are driven along the piping structure (254.7) horizontally along the surface (254.4) of the floating off shore vessel (254.3) concerned. The piping structure (254.1, 254.12) of said light driving pipe (254.1, 254.12) is also driven over the top surface (254.4) of said off shore floating vessel (254.3) concerned, along with said other light driving pipe (254.7) mentioned.
The piping structure (254.7) is sustained rigidly to said upper surface (254.4) of the floating vessel (254.3) concerned, by rigid vertically projecting members (254.8), which attach (254.8) said piping structure (254.7) to said upper surface (254.4) concerned. Said piping structure (254.7) is hence driven horizontally (254.7), towards the start area (254.6) of the light driving pipe (254.12) of another system (254.12). Said system (254.12) collects the solar light rays from the top surface (254.4) off shore (254.2) floating vessel (254.3). So, the light rays (254.5) are hence driven by said piping structure (254.7), into the start area (254.6) of the system's (254.12) light driving pipe (254.12). The system's (254.12) light driving pipe (254.12) hence collect said light rays (254.5) which project horizontally from said piping structure (254.7) into said light driving pipe (254.12). So, said light rays (254.5) are driven into said light driving pipe (254.12), and hence through all the concave and convex mirrors comprised into said light driving pipe (254.1). Said light rays (254.5) are hence driven through said light driving pipe (254.1) using the same mirrors as the light rays that are collected by said light driving pipe (254.1), until finally reaching the heat exchanger system concerned. The off shore (253.3) floating vessel (254.3), floats on the water level surface (254.2), as required. The top surface (254.4) of said floating vessel (254.3) comprises the system (254.1, 254.12), the piping (254.7) and the heat exchanger system, together as required.
The advantage of said system (254.12, 254.7), is that the same light driving pipe (254.1,254.12) can be used to drive the light rays (254.5) of at least a plurality of pipes (254.12, 254.1, 254.7, 254.10), without needing to spend more money on the construction of further piping areas (254.7) laterally to said light driving pipe (254.1, 254.12), in order to drive said light rays (254.5) to the heat exchanger concerned. The disadvantage of this system (254.7, 254.12) is that said light rays (254.7) will have to be driven along all of the mirrors comprised inside said light driving pipe (254.1, 254.12), like the light rays collected by said light driving pipe (254.1, 254.12), hence losing energy due to the plurality of mirrors used to drive said light rays into said pipe (254.1, 254.12) towards the heat exchanger concerned. So, the construction of a further metres (254.7) of piping (254.7) until said heat exchanger, might actually justify said job of adding a further pipe (254.7) until the heat exchanger, as less light ray (254.5) energy (254.5) will be lost in that way. This is because said light rays (254.5) avoid to be concentrated and reflected in a plurality of ways (254.5) by said system minors, and gets access to the concave minors, as required, with the less concentrations of mirrors required. This system design (254.7) hence makes the light rays (254.5) a cleaner and more concentrated asset (254.5), although the use of said pipes (254.7) makes the system more expensive, and the reasons might be limited to justify said costs.
The light driving pipes (255.17) can be comprised being sustained by rigid sustaining members to the horizontally projecting members (255.16). Said members (255.16) are sustained by said vertical (255.6) upper projecting (255.6) members (255.6) to the ground floor surface (255.7) concerned. Said sustaining members (255.6) project vertically (255.6), and sustain said horizontal member (255.16) to the ground floor surface (255.7) concerned. The light driving pipes (255.17) can comprise the convex light ray collection mirror (255.8) at the top area of the light driving pipe (255.17). Said pipe (255.17) can also comprise the concave mirror (255.9) comprised at the middle of said pipe (255.17), as well as the lower light rays driving minor (255.10) at the bottom area of said pipe (255.17). The cables (255.13) to actuate said lower flat light collection heliostats (255.14), are comprised projecting (255.15) through the lower horizontally projecting member (255.16), and then projecting into said upper vertical member (255.5) towards the actuator (255.13) of said heliostats (255.14). Said vertical member (255.5) sustains said lower light ray colleting mirror (255.14) or heliostats (255.14), through the vertical member (255.5). Said vertical member (255.5) provides a path for said cables (255.15) to be driven to the actuator (255.13) of said lower heliostats (255.14) concerned. Said actuator (255.13) is sustained by said vertical member (255.5), and said cables (255.15) supply the power for said actuator (255.13) to orientate said light ray collection mirror (255.14) as required, according to the conunands given by the central computerised control system. The actuator (255.13) connects to the horizontal rigid member (255.4), which in turn sustains said lower light ray collection mirror (255.14) or heliostat (255.14) into the required position, the same position as the sustaining bar (255.4) that connects to the actuator (255.13). So, no wireless systems are needed to orientate or control said lower heliostats (255.14) by said actuator (255.13), as no reason is required for it.
The upper light ray collection mirror (255.1) or heliostat (255.1), is sustaining by a rigid horizontal bar (255.2), which keeps the mirror (255.1) structure into the required position, according to the position comprised by said horizontal bar (255.2) comprised. Said bar (255.2) is oriented or maintained into the required position (2512) by the actuator (255.11), which connects to the sustaining bar (255.2). The actuator (255.11) hence controls and orientates said mirror (255.1) or heliostat (255.1) by the means of said sustaining bar (255.11) as required, into the required direction needed. The directions of projection and orientation are given by the central computer system, to the actuator (255.11) which according to the orientation of said light rays, orientates said upper mirror (255.1) or heliostat (255.1) either in parallel to the light rays, or collecting said light rays. The central computer system, informs the actuator (255.11) of which orientation and direction of projection said mirror (255.1) should have. The actuator orientates said flat sustaining bar (255.2), which in turn drives said upper light collection mirror (255.1) or heliostat (255.1) into the required direction of projection and orientation, as required. In order to achieve this, the power is supplied by the cabals (255.12), which are project (255.12) form said lower area (255.16) to the actuator concerned (255.11) Said actuator (255.11) uses the power to orientate the bar (255.2), and hence the upper heliostat (255.1), as required. The upper light ray collection mirror (255.1) or heliostat (255.1) is sustained into position by said bar (255.2), which is sustained by said actuator (255.11). Said actuator is sustained into position by the vertically projecting mast (255.3), which is sustained into position by said horizontally projecting lower bars (255.16). Said bars (255.16) are sustained to the ground floor (255.7) by said vertically projecting members (255.6). The cables (255.12) are driven through said horizontally projecting bar (255.16), and hence into the vertical sustaining mast (255.3) to the actuator (255.11) concerned. So, said cables (255.12) supply the sensor (255.11) with the required power (255.12) that is required, in a totally wired (255.12) connection via said mast structure (255.3). So, said vertical mast (255.3) supplies the support and power to said actuator (255.11). So, no wireless connections are required for said upper heliostat's (255.1) orientation to be accomplished by the means of said actuator (255.11) comprised.
The cables (255.28) for the (255.13) actuator of the low heliostat (255.14), are supplied by the side (255.29) of said lower light ray sustaining members. So, the horizontally projecting bar (255.16) drives said cables (255.30) to the vertical mast (255.22), into which said cables (255.28) are driven to the actuator (255.13) concerned. Similarly, the side (255.23) of the light driving pipe structure concerned, drives the cables (255.23) to control said upper actuator (255.25) for said upper heliostat (255.18) comprised. So, the side area (255.23) drives the cables (255.23)10 the sustaining horizontally projecting bar (255.16). Said bar (255.16) drives the cables (255.24) to the vertically projecting mast (255.27). Said mast (255.27), which sustains said upper actuator (255.25) into position, drives the cables (255.21) upwards via said mast structure (255.27), to the upper comprised actuator (255.25) concerned. The upper mast structure (255.26) also comprises the cables (255.20) mentioned, which drives these to the actuator (255.25) comprised. Said actuator (255.25) controls the orientation and direction of projection of said flat rigid bar (255.19). Said bar (255.19) attaches to said upper mirror or heliostat (255.18), hence controlling the orientation of said heliostats (255.18) as required. This is done (255.18) by the movements driven by the actuator (255.25) on said rigid sustaining flat bar (255.19) member. So, with said lower horizontal member (255.16) driving the cables (255.24, 255.30) to said upper members (255.22, 255.27), hence driving said cables (255.21, 255.28) to said upper actuators concerned (255.11, 255.13) for both light ray collection heliostats (255.1, 255.14) comprised. So, all communication to said actuators (255.11, 255.13) for power and connection to the computerised control system concerned, is totally wired, for both heliostats (255.1, 255.14), such that no wireless system is required.
The lower horizontally projecting member (256.13) sustains said upper (256.7, 256.8) vertically projecting members (256.7, 256.8), which sustain the actuators (256.2, 256.5) of said light ray collection mirrors (256.1, 256.6) or heliostats (256A, 256.6) into position. The actuator (256.2) for the upper heliostat (256.1), is sustained into position by the vertically projecting member (256.8), which sustains said actuator (256.2) into position. Said actuator (256.2) hence sustains said upper light my collection heliostat (256.1) by a flat rigid bar (256.3). So, said actuator (256.2) attaches to the bar (256.3), which connects to said flat light ray collection mirror (256.1) or heliostat (256.1) concerned. So, the actuator (256.2) can control the orientation of said upper mirror (256.1) or heliostat (256.1) as required, based on the demands of said computerised system. The lower lied ray collection mirror (256.11, 256.6) or heliostat (256.11), is sustained by said rigid sustaining bar (256.5), which attaches to said mirror (256.11,256.6). Said rigid bar (256.5) attaches (256.5) to the actuator (256.4) comprised for said lower lien ray collection mirror (256.11, 256.6) or heliostat (256.11, 256.6). So, based on the requirements of said central computer system, the actuator (256.4) can orientate said lower light ray collection mirror (256.11,256.6) or heliostat (256.11,256.6) as required, as said actuator (256.4) attaches to said rigid bar (256.5), which in turn attaches to said lower flat light ray collection mirror (256.11,256.6) or heliostat (256.11,256.6) concerned.
Said lower flat light my collection heliostat (256.11, 256.6) is sustained by said actuator (256.4) in its required position (256.4). Said actuator (256.4) is sustained into position by the vertical upper (256.7) vertically projecting member (256.7), which sustains said lower mirror's (256.11, 256.6) actuator (256.4) into position on the horizontally projecting member (256.13) comprised. Said vertical member (256.7) attaches to both the actuator (256.4) and the horizontally projecting member (256.13) simultaneously. Each of said actuators (256.2, 256.4) and mirrors (256.1, 256.6, 256.11) are sustained by different horizontal members (256.13), in order to sustain said vertically projecting members (256.8, 256.7) at different positions along the light driving pipe. This is because said mirrors (256.1, 256.6, 256.11) are comprised at different positions along said pipe concerned. So, the upper light ray collecting heliostat (256.1) is sustained by its actuator (256.2) to a vertically projecting member (256.8), which is sustained by a horizontally projecting member (256.13), which is different to the one (256.13) sustaining the other lower light ray collection heliostat (256.6, 256.11). The other lower light ray collecting heliostat (256.6, 256.11) is sustained into its position by its actuator (256.4), which is sustained by the vertically projecting member (256.7) to the horizontally projecting member (256.13) comprised. Said horizontal member (256.13) is different to that (256.13) comprised sustaining the other flat light ray collection heliostat (256.1), which is positioned along another position than said lower light ray collection mirror (256.6, 156.11).
Said lower light ray collection mirror (256.6, 256.11) or heliostat (256.6, 256.11) is sustained by a vertical member (256.7) to the rigid horizontally projecting member (256.13), while the upper light my collecting mirror (256.1) or heliostat (256.1) is sustained by another vertically projecting member (256.8), which is sustained to another rigid horizontal member (256.13) along the driving pipe. The concave mirror (256.12) is comprised in this view, as said view is a front view of said light driving pipe structure. Said horizontally projecting member (256.13) is comprised being sustained by rigid (256.10) vertically projecting members (256.10), such that another horizontal member (256.9) can be comprised upwards. So, said upward member (256.9) can sustain said concave mirror (256.12) into position. Said upward member (256.9) can also sustain said mentioned actuator (256.2) in place, hence sustaining said upper light ray collection heliostat (256.1) in place, as said member (256.9) can attach to the vertically projecting vertical member (256.8) which sustains said actuator (256.2) in place.
Said concave mirror (256.16) is comprised being sustained by said upper (256.17) or lower (256.18) horizontally projecting members (256.17, 256.18), as required. So, the concave mirror (256.15) can be sustained into place by any of these horizontal members (256.17, 256.18). The lower light ray collection minor (256.14) or heliostat (256.14), can be sustained by said lower horizontally projecting member (256.18) in question (256.18). Said horizontal member (256.18) can sustain the mirror (256.14) into position, by sustaining said vertical member (256.7) into place from said horizontally projecting member (256.18). Both of said upper (256.17) and lower (256.18) horizontally projecting members (256.17, 256.18), can be sustained into place, by the vertically projecting members (256.16), which sustains these (256.16) on the ground floor surface. Said members (256.16) can be comprised to sustain each of said horizontally projecting members (256.17, 256.18) into position, hence meaning that one vertical member (256.16) can be present to sustain each of said mirrors (256.1, 256.6, 256.11) into place, as said heliostats (256.1, 256.6, 256.11) are each comprised along different points of position (256.1, 256.6, 256.11) along the light driving pipes concerned. So, each of said heliostats (256.1, 256.6, 256.11) can hence be sustained by its own vertically projecting member (256.16), and by its own independent horizontally projecting member (256.13), as the position of each of said mirrors (256.1, 256.6, 256.11) is different when looking along a side view of the light driving pipe concerned.
The concave mirrors (257.3) can be sustained by rigid vertical (257.2) sustaining members (257.2), such that said concave mirrors (257.3) can be sustained rigidly (257.2) by said members (257.2) to said horizontally projecting members (257.13). Said horizontal members (257.13) hence sustain said upper members (257.2, 257.3) into the required positions over these (257.13). The concave mirrors (257.3) can comprise said upper horizontal sustaining members (257.4) over the upper surfaces (257.3) of said minors (257.3). These members (257.4) attach said upper concave mirror (257.3) areas (257.3) to said vertical mast structure (257.12), an upper area (257.4) present (257.4) to stop the unwanted rain water from penetrating into the inner surfaces (257.3) of said concave mirror (257.3). This is performed (257.4) by comprising said upper horizontal members (257.4) over the area which is near to said concave mirrors (257.3) concerned. The upper vertical mast (257.12) is comprised just in front of said concave mirrors (257.3) and attaches (257.12) to the horizontal water stopping member (257.4) concerned. Said members (257.2, 257.3, 257.4,257.12) are comprised for each solar light ray collection system concerned. The light rays of said solar ray collection system, transmit the heat of the light rays to the heat exchanger system (257.8) concerned. Said heat exchanger (257.8) hence transfers the heat to the fluid pipe, which drives a steam turbine (257.16). Said steam turbine (257.16) drives a generator set (257.17) in turn. Said generator set (257.17) generates the required electrical current.
Said current is hence distributed to the power supply (257.18) for power distribution (257.18) via one cable (257.18), while another cable (257.9), drives said required power to the actuators (257.10, 257.6) concerned for said flat light collection heliostats (257.1, 257.7) concerned. So, said cable (257.9) is driven from said generator set (257.17), and is driven along the side members (275.5) of said light driving pipe (257.13) sustaining members (257.13), hence being driven (257.5) along the entire length of the light driving pipe, through the lateral sustaining members (257.13), in order to supply the required power to said actuators (257.10,257.6) concerned( On each vertical mast structure (257.12), the cables (257.11) are projected upwards, in order to supply the actuator (257.6) of the upper light ray collection heliostat (257.7) with the required power supply. Said actuator (257.6) can hence use the power supplied by said cable (257.11) to orientate said upper light ray collection heliostat (257.7) into the required direction, as it is required by the central computer system, which informs said actuators (257.6) of the required actions to take The lower vertical projecting mast (257.14) can each comprise a cable (257.15), which projects to the actuator (257.10) of the lower flat light ray collection heliostat (257.1) comprised.
Each lower vertical mast (257.14) should comprise said system, where cables (257.15) supply power to the actuator (257.10) comprised at the top of said mast (257.14). So, said actuator (257.10), on each of the lower vertical masts (257.14) concerned, uses the power supplied by said cables (257.15) to orientate and actuate said lower flat light ray collection heliostats (257.1) as required, according to the commands that are ordered by the centralised control computerised system. All vertical masts (257.12, 257.14) are equipped with said cable supply (257.11,257.15) systems (257.11,257.15), which are used to actuate said upper (257.7) and lower (257.1) light ray collecting heliostats (257.1, 257.7) as required, according to the orientation and projection of the solar light rays concerned. Said cable systems (257.11,257.15) are supplied with the power from the laterally flowing power supply cables (257.5), which is driven from said generator set (257.17) into the lateral horizontal sustaining member (257.13), in order to supply all of the masts (257.12, 257.14) with the required power for the actuation (257.10, 257.6) of the light ray collection heliostats (257.1, 257.7) concerned, as required.
The rigid vertically projecting sustaining members (257.2), sustain said upper area of said concave mirror (257.3) rigidly into position, while the lower areas of said mirrors (257.3), are sustained by the horizontally projecting sustaining members (257.13) comprised. The vertical sustaining member (257.2) is rigid, and projects on each lateral side from said laterally comprised horizontal sustaining member (257.13). Therefore, each of said concave mirrors (257.3) is sustained by two vertically projecting members (257.2) at its upper area (257.3), with one member (257.2) comprised at each side. One member (257.2) is being sustained at each side of said concave mirror (257.3), which is sustained into position by said horizontally projecting sustaining members (257.13), comprised at each side of the concave mirror (257_3) concerned. So, said vertical members (257.2) sustain said concave mirrors (257.3) rigidly into position, but are comprised beside the path of the light rays being driven towards said concave mirrors (257.3) concerned. This minimises obstruction to said horizontally driven light rays by said heliostats (257.1), and maximises light ray collection and concentration efficiencies for said system. The vertically projecting systems (257.2) does not affect the connexion between said concave mirrors (257.3) and said upper vertical mast members (257.12), comprising a horizontal water impeding member (257.4). So, said water impeding horizontal member (257.4) is not affected by said vertically projecting members (257.2) concerned.
The concave mirrors (258.4) can be sustained over said horizontal sustaining member (258.10) by vertically projecting rigid members (258.2). Said rigid members (258.2) ensure that said concave mirrors (258.4) are sustained rigidly into the positions that these (258.4) should be present (258.4) on, as required. Said lower horizontally projecting sustaining members (258.10), sustain said concave mirrors (258.4) rigidly into position. The upper rain stopping memher (258.6) is comprised between the upper areas (258.4) of said concave mirrors (258.4) and said upper vertical mast concerned. So, said members (258.6) ensure that no unwanted residue rain water, is accumulated on the inner surface of said concave mirrors (258.4) by accident. So, said concave mirrors (258.4) comprise said water stopping members (258.6) in order to stop the rain water from being deposited over said inner concave mirrors (258.4) comprised. The upper concave mirror (258.4) areas, attach to said water stopping members (258.6), without affecting the attachment of said concave mirrors (258.4) to the sustaining vertically projecting members (258.2) concerned. The light driving pipe (258.8), drives all of the collected light rays by said upper heliostats (258.1), lower heliostats (258.3) and concave mirrors (258.4), to a heat exchanger system (258.9) comprised. Said heat exchanger system (258.9) is comprised at the end of said light driving pipe (258.8), and hence collects all of the light rays concerned from said light driving pipe (258.8).
Said system (258.9, 258.8), including the heat exchanger (258.9) and light driving pipe (258.8), are comprised over the ground floor surface (258.7), as required by said system design. The lateral sustaining members (258.5), are comprised across the entire length of the light driving pipe (258.8) concerned, hence meaning that said horizontal member (258.10, 258.5) projects from the start of said pipe (258.8) until the point of reach of said light driving pipe (258.8) to the heat exchanger system (258.9) concerned. In this case, the light rays are driven into the surface of the lower flat light ray collection heliostat (258.3), with said upper heliostats (258. I) being comprised into a parallel projection to the direction of projection of the light rays comprised. This minimises obstruction to the light rays concerned, and hence maximises the solar light intake efficiency of the system concerned. So, said lower heliostats (258.3) driven the light rays to the concave mirror (258.4). Said concave mirror (258.4) then hence concentrates said light rays to the light driving pipe (258.8), which is closed from the outer environment. This minimises maintenance costs and maximises safety for the outer public concerned. Said light driving pipe (258.8) hence drives said light rays to the heat exchanger system (258.9), comprised at the end of said horizontally projecting members (258.10, 258.5), which act as sustaining members (258.10, 258.5) to the systems comprised over said light driving pipe (258.8) concerned.
The upper heliostats (258.1), lower heliostats (258.3), vertical sustaining member (258.2) and concave mirrors (258.4), are all comprised over the light ray driving pipe (258.8) concerned. Said light driving pipe (258.8) comprises the horizontal sustaining member (258.10, 258.5) above said light driving pipe (258.8), which sustains said light driving pipe (258.8) from the upper surface, where said horizontal sustaining members (258.10, 258.5) are comprised. Said upper members (258.1, 258.3, 258.2, 258.4), are all sustained over the sustaining horizontal members (258.10, 258.5), to said members concerned (258.10, 258.5). Said vertical (258.2) sustaining member (258.2), sustains said upper concave mirror (258.4) to the horizontal sustaining members (258.10, 258.5), which also sustain said lower areas of said concave mirrors (258.4) into place, as required.
The rigid vertically projecting sustaining members (258.2), sustain said upper area of said concave mirror (258.4) rigidly into position, while the lower areas of said mirrors (258.4), are sustained by the horizontally projecting sustaining members (258.5, 258.10) comprised. The vertical sustaining member (258.2) is rigid, and projects on each lateral side from said laterally comprised horizontal sustaining member (258.5, 258.10). Therefore, each of said concave mirrors (258.4) is sustained by two vertically projecting members (258.2) at its upper area (258.4), with one member (258.2) comprised at each side. One member (258.2) is being sustained at each side of said concave mirror (258.4), which is sustained into position by said horizontally projecting sustaining members (258.5, 258.10), comprised at each side of the concave mirror (258.4) concerned. So, said vertical members (258.2) sustain said concave mirrors (258.4) rigidly into position, but are comprised beside the path of the light rays being driven towards said concave mirrors (258.4) concerned. This minimises obstruction to said horizontally driven light rays by said heliostats (258.3), and maximises light ray collection and concentration efficiencies for said system. The vertically projecting systems (258.2) does not affect the connexion between said concave mirrors (258.4) and said upper vertical mast members, comprising a horizontal water impeding member (258.6). So, said water impeding horizontal member (258.6) is not affected by said vertically projecting members (258.2) concerned.
The light rays (259.5) of the sun, can project into said lower flat light collection heliostats (259.1) from any direction of projection that is in 90 degrees of rotation from the direction of projection of said heliostats (259.1) when these (259.1) are in a normal position (259.1) of projection. If the solar light rays (259.5) projected behind said 90 degree sideways direction of projection, said upper heliostats (259.6) will take over, to be oriented (259.6) to collect and reflect said light rays (259.5), in parallel to said light driving pipe, towards said lower comprised light ray collection heliostats (259.259.1, 259.17). During said time, said upper heliostats (259.6) are comprised being positioned exactly perpendicularly to the light rays (259.5) being driven by the sun towards said lower heliostats (259.1) comprised. Said upper mirrors (259.6) are comprised perpendicularly to the light rays (259.5), in order to minimise obstruction to said light rays (259.5) concerned, and hence maximise light ray collection efficiencies by said lower heliostats (259.1) in question. Said upper heliostats (259.6) are actuated by the actuator (259.7), in order to achieve the exact perpendicular position to the projecting light rays (259.5). Said central computer informs the actuator (259.7) of the position that said heliostat (259.6) should be present at. Said upper actuators (259.7) are sustained by said upper vertical mast (259.4). The concave mirrors (259.2) are sustained over said horizontally sustaining members (259.15).
The rigid vertical member (259.13) sustains said concave mirror (259.2) rigidly from the upper areas (259.2) of said concave mirror (2592) comprised. The lower areas (259.2) of said concave mirrors (259.2) are sustained to the lower comprised horizontal members (259.15), which sustains said concave mirrors (259.2) rigidly into the required position. The water impeding horizontal member (259.14), impedes any unwanted rain water from being accumulated or deposited on the inner surface of said concave mirrors (259.2) comprised. The rigid member (259.4) is comprised on two vertical mast sets (259.13), hence being comprised at each side (259.13) of the concave mirror (259.2) comprised. This minimises obstruction to said light rays (259.22) being projected towards said concave mirrors (259.2). This design, hence maximises light ray collection efficiencies to the concave mirror (259.2) system comprised. The light rays from the sun (259.5) are driven to said lower heliostats (259.1, 259.17), which are oriented according to the direction of projection of said light rays (259.5) onto said mirrors (259.1, 259.17). So, the actuators (259.18) of said lower heliostats (259.1, 259.17), ensure that said mirrors (259.1, 259.17) are oriented exactly accurately, in order to exactly reflect the incoming light rays (259.5) from the sun, and driving these (259.5) into a parallel direction to that of projection of the light driving pipe, towards said concave mirror (259.2) concerned.
The lower heliostats (259.1, 259.17) are sustained by rigid sustaining bar members (259.16), which attach to said actuators (259.18) of said mirrors (259.1, 259.17) comprised. Said actuators are constantly informed by the central computer on the orientations that these (259.18) should undertake, in order to orientate said heliostats (259.1, 259.17) to the incoming light rays (259.5) concerned. These (259.18) hence orientate said mirrors (259.1, 259.17) as required in order to reflect the incoming light rays (259.5) from the sun, into a parallel path towards said concave mirrors (259.2) comprised. The water stopping horizontal member (259.14) attaches to both the upper area of said concave mirror (259.2) and the vertical mast structure (259.4) comprised in front of said mirror (259.2). So, no unwanted water would be accumulated on said inner concave minor (259.2) surfaces (259.2). Said vertical mast (259.4) sustains said upper heliostats (259.6) and actuator (259.7). Said system (259.14) should be present for each concave mirror (259.2) being comprised outside (259.2), and hence over the light driving pipe concerned, hence maximising accuracy of light ray receptions.
The last inclined heliostat (259.8) is being inserted into said system, with said light rays (259.9) projccting into a different direction, so that the top light ray collection heliostats (259.10) is inclined perpendicularly (259.10) to said light rays (259.9). This is performed in order to indicate how said mirror (259.8) would be actuated to respond to said inclined light rays concerned (259.9), by said actuator (259.20) comprised, while the upper mirror would stay oriented (259.10) and inclined (259.10) perpendicularly (259.10) to said incoming light rays (259.9), according to the commands of the central computer system comprised. The light rays (259.9) can project towards the lower light ray collection heliostat (259.8) from the sun. The actuator (259.20) of said mirror (259.8) orientates said heliostat (259.8) exactly accurately, towards the incoming light rays (259.9). So, said heliostat (259.8) reflects said solar light rays (259.9), and drives these (259.22) in a parallel directions of projection to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe, to the concave mirror (259.24) concerned. A rigid sustaining member (259.23) can be comprised on each side of said concave mirror (259.24), and be sustained over said rigid horizontal members (259.15), in order to sustain the upper area (259.24) of said concave mirrors (259.24) into the required rigid position (259.24) concerned. So, one vertically projecting sustaining member (259.23) can be comprised at each side of said concave mirror (259.24), hence sustaining its upper surface (259.24) rigidly, and minimising obstruction to the light rays (259.22) being driven towards said concave mirror (259.24). This design hence maximises light ray collection and reflection efficiencies by said lower heliostat (259.8), as well as that of said concave mirror (259.9), hence maximising system light collection efficiencies. The lower heliostat (259.8) is sustained by a bar member (259.21) to the actuator (259.20) concerned. Said actuator (259.20) sustains the entire lower heliostat (259.8) in its required position, by attaching to said bar member (259.21) concemed, which in turn attaches to said lower heliostat (259.8) comprised.
Said actuator system (259.20) is sustained into position by said vertical lower members (259.19), which project vertically (259.19) from said horizontally projecting sustaining members (259.15) to said lower heliostat's (259.8) actuator systems (259.20) concerned. The upper light collection heliostat (259.10) is inclined perpendicularly (259.10) to the light rays being driven by the sun (259.9) towards said lower heliostat (259.8). This is performed by said upper heliostats (259.10) in order to minimise obstruction to said light rays (259.9) being projected towards the lower heliostat (259.8), hence minimising obstruction, and hence maximising light ray collection efficiencies for said lower heliostats (259.8) concerned, hence maximising system efficiencies. The actuator (259.11) of said upper heliostat (259.10) ensures that said minor (259.10) is oriented according to requirements set by said central computer system. Said actuator (259.11) follows the commands of the centralised computer system, which informs said upper actuator (259.11) of the required commands to undertake, in order for said upper heliostat (259.10) to be comprised in exactly a perpendicular position (259.10) to the incoming light rays (259.9) being projected by the sun. So, said computer informs said actuator (259.11) of the orientations to undertake to the mirror (259.9) in order to, in this case, minimise obstruction to the light rays (259.9) by said minor (259.10) comprised.
Said upper heliostat (259.10) and actuation system (259.11), are sustained into position over the horizontally projecting sustaining members (259.15), by said vertically projecting upper mast (259.12). Said upper mast (259.12) sustains said actuator (259.11) and light collection heliostat (259.10) into position, rigidly over the horizontally projecting sustaining members (259.15) concerned. Said light rays (259.5, 259.9) project towards the lower solar light ray collection heliostats (259.1, 259.17, 259.8) comprised, such that said heliostats (259.1, 259.17, 259.8) oriented by said actuators (259.18, 259.20), in order to project towards said light rays. So, in the case of the two lower light ray collection heliostats (259.1, 259.17, 259.8), both of these (259.1, 259.17, 259.8) are oriented to reflect said incoming light rays (259.5, 259.9) into the direction which is horizontal and perpendicular to that of the light driving pipe. So, said light rays (259.5, 259.9) are there to project into a horizontally projecting path (259.22), towards the frontally comprised concave mirrors (259.2, 259.24). Said concave mirrors (259.2, 259.24) then concentrate and drive said light rays (259.5, 259.9, 259.22) towards the light driving pipe concerned. Said last inclined heliostat (259.8) is being inserted into said system, with said light rays (259.9) projecting into a different direction, so that the top light ray collection heliostats (259.10) is inclined perpendicularly (259.10) to said light rays (259.9). This is performed in order to indicate how said mirror (259.8) would be actuated to respond to said inclined light rays concerned (259.9), by said actuator (259.20) comprised, while the upper mirror would stay oriented (259.10) and inclined (259.10) perpendicularly (259.10) to said incoming light rays (259.9), according to the commands of the central computer system comprised.
The rigid vertically projecting sustaining members (259.13, 259.23), sustain said upper area of said concave mirror (259.2, 259.24) rigidly into position, while the lower areas of said mirrors (259.2, 259.24), are sustained by the horizontally projecting sustaining members (259.15) comprised The vertical sustaining member (259.13,259.23) is rigid, and projects on each lateral side from said laterally comprised horizontal sustaining member (259.15). So, said vertical members (259.13, 259.23) sustain said concave mirrors (259.2, 259.24) rigidly into position, but are comprised beside the path of the light rays (259.22) being driven towards said concave mirrors (259.2, 259.24) concerned. This minimises obstruction to said horizontally driven light rays (259.22) by said heliostats (259.1, 259.8), and maximises light ray collection and concentration efficiencies for said system. The vertically projecting systems (259.13, 259.23) does not affect the connexion between said concave mirrors (259.2, 259.24) and said upper vertical mast members (259.4, 259.12), comprising a horizontal water impeding member (259.14). So, said water impeding horizontal member (259.14) is not affected by said vertically projecting members (259.13, 259.23) concerned. Each of said concave mirrors (259.2, 259.24) is sustained by two vertically projecting members (259.13,25.23) at its upper area (259.2, 25924), with one member (259.13,259.23) comprised at each side. One member (259.13, 259.23) is being sustained at each side of said concave mirror (259.2, 259.24), which is sustained into position by said horizontally projecting sustaining members (259.15), comprised at each side of the concave mirror (259.2, 259.24) concerned.
The vertically projecting members (260.9) can be comprised being sustained by said horizontally projecting sustaining members (260.11). This system design (260.9) is present at each horizontal sustaining member (260.11) comprised along the system (260.3), with one sustaining member (260.11) comprised at each side of said mirrors (260.7). One vertical member (260.9) projects vertically upwards at each side of the concave mirrors (260.7) comprised. So, said concave mirrors (260.7) are sustained rigidly at the top areas (260.7) of said mirrors (260.7) by two of said vertically projecting members (260.9). One member (260.9) projects vertically upwards at each side (260.7) of said concave mirror (260.7), such that one vertically projecting member (260.9) attaches to the top areas of said concave mirrors (260.7) at each side. So, said top areas (260.7) of said mirrors (260.7) are sustained rigidly into position by two vertical members (260.9), with one (260.9) projecting at each side (260.7). The lower areas of said concave mirrors (260.7) are sustained at each side rigidly, by the horizontally projecting members (260.11), with each member (260.11) comprised at each side of said concave mirrors (260.7) comprised.
Said vertical members (260.9) does not affect the position of the water impediment horizontal member (260.10), which attaches over the front of said concave mirror (260.7) in order for the unwanted rain water to have difficult access to the inner surface of said concave mirror (2603). This would hence maximise the light my collection and concentration efficiencies of the system concerned. So, said vertical member (260.9) does not affect the positioning of said water impediments member (260.10) comprised. The positioning of said vertical members (260.9) at each side of said concave mirrors (260.7) avoids any obstruction to the horizontally projecting light rays (260.6), driven by said lower heliostats (26(5) towards said concave mirrors (260.7) comprised. This hence maximises light ray collection and concentration efficiencies for the system in question. The vertical members (260.9) are hence comprised being projecting sideways of said concave mirrors (260.7), hence comprising two members (260.9) projecting sideways towards the upper members (260.7) for each concave mirror (260.7). So, all of said concave mirrors (260.7) are required with said system. The vertical members (260.9) hence allow all light rays (260_6) being driven horizontally by said lower heliostats (260.5), to access said concave minors (260.7) without any problems concerned. In this case, the light rays (260.1) from the sun (260.1), are driven to the upper light ray collection heliostat (260.2) initially. This is because said light rays (260.1) project at an angle which is greater than the 90 degree angle comprised at each side of the direction of projection of said lower heliostats (260.5), when these (260.5) are comprised projecting in parallel to the light driving pipe (260.3) concerned.
So, said light rays (260.1) project initially to the upper light ray collection heliostat (260.2). Said heliostat (260.2) drives said light rays (260.4) downwards in parallel, towards said lower light ray collection heliostat (260.5). Said upper mirror (260.2) does said job by collection and reflection of said light rays (260.1, 260.4). So, said upper heliostat (260.2) is in this case oriented (260.2) to collect and reflect said light rays (260.1), towards said lower light rays collection heliostat (260.5). The upper heliostat (260.2) hence drives said light rays (260.4) straight towards said lower light ray collection heliostat (260.5). Said heliostat (260.5) then drives said light rays (260.6), in a horizontal direction of projection (260.6), towards the concave mirror (260.7) comprised just in front of said lower light ray collection heliostat (260.5). Said concave mirror (260.7) then hence reflects and concentrates (260.7) said light rays (260.6) towards the opening structure of the light driving pipe (260.3). Said light driving pipe (260.3) then drives the light rays towards the heat exchanger, as required. The computerised control system informs the actuator (260.12) of the lower heliostat (260.5) concerned. So, said heliostat (260.5) is oriented according to the commands given by said computerised control system to said system's (260.5) actuator (260.12).
The same process is comprised for the upper light ray collection heliostats (260.2). Said actuators (260.8) control the orientation of said flat mirrors (260.2), by informing the actuators (260.8) of said heliostats (260.2) on the required orientations to be made. So, said light rays (260.1) will exactly be reflected and driven (260,2) by said heliostats (260.2) towards the lower heliostats (260.5), thanks to the required orientation made by the actuators (260.8) of said mirror systems (260.2). Said orientations are informed to the actuators (260.8) by said computerised system, which keeps a constant observation on the directions of projection of said incoming light rays (260.1) from the sun (260.1) towards the ground floor surface concerned.
The light driving pipes (261.14, 261.20), can be comprised being positioned against each other (261.14,261.20), such that the light rays are driven from both sides of the heat exchanger (261.6), towards the two lateral walls of said heat exchanger (261.6) simultaneously. So, the light rays are driven by the left (261.14) and right (261.20) pipes (261.14, 261.20), together into aid heat exchanger (261.6) simultaneously. The light rays driven by the left pipe (261.14), are driven through the last tubular member (261.15), to the left heat exchanger (261.6) wall (261.6). Simultaneously, the right pipe (261.20) drives the light rays through the last tubular member (261.7), to the right wall (261.6) of the heat exchanger system (261.6) comprised (261.6) simultaneously. Said heat exchanger system (261.6) collects the heat from said light rays which are driven through said pipes (261.7,261.15), and transmits the heat to the two heat collecting pipes (261.16,261.18) comprised. One pipe (261.16) is the fluid driving pipe (261.16), which drives a fluid, preferably water, to drive a steam turbine, which will in turn drive a generator set to generate the required current The other pipe (261.18) is the energy storage fluid pipe (261.18), which will drive fluid to the energy storage fluid tank for storage applications.
So, at night, said energy storage fluid can be driven through said heat exchanger system (261.6), such that at night, when no light rays from the sun are present, said heat exchanger system (261.6) can transfer the heat to the fluid driving pipe (261.16). Said pipe (261.16) would drive said fluid in order to drive said steam turbine, as during daytime operations. So, said heat exchanger system (261.6) is used as the heat transfer point (261.6) for both day and night power generation operations, irrelevant if there are no light rays from the sun projecting towards the ground floor surface (261.19) at night. During the day, said heat exchanger system (261.6) transfers the light ray heat from its walls (261.6) to the heat collecting pipes (261.16, 261.18) concerned. During the night, said heat exchanger system (261.6) transfers heat from the energy storage fluid pipe (261.18) to the fluid pipe (261.16), as is required. The heat exchanger system (261.6) is sustained over the ground floor surface (261.19) by a vertically projecting supporting member (261.17).
The light ray driving pipes (261.14, 261.20) can be comprised with said heat exchanger system (261.6), over a flat ground floor surface (261.19). So, said flat ground floor surface (261.19) can comprise said systems (261.14, 261.20, 261.6) being positioned over it (261.19), as required. As each of said two pipes (261.14, 261.20) project oppositely to each other (261.14, 261.20) towards the heat exchanger system (261.6), the mirrors (261.1,261.2, 261.10, 261.12) can be comprised, projecting in opposite orientations and directions of projection (261.1, 261.2, 261.10, 261.12). The light rays (261.4,261.9) project onto the same direction of projection on both sides (261.14, 261.20) towards the ground floor surface (261.19) concerned. The concave mirrors (261.3, 261.13) project oppositely to each other (261.3, 261.13), and hence oppositely to the heat exchanger system (261.6) concerned. This hence means that said mirrors (261.1, 261.2, 261.10, 261.12) should project in different directions of projection and orientations (261.1, 261.2, 261.10, 261.12) on both sides (261.14, 261.20), as said light rays form the sun (261.4,261.9) project on the same direction of projection (261.4,261.9) towards the ground floor surface (261.19) from the sun. The light rays driven along the light driving pipes (261.14, 261.20), are driven from the left pipe (261.14) and the right pipe (261.20), towards said heat exchanger system (261.6). Said light rays are hence driven into flat light driving pipes (261.14,261.20) towards said heat exchanger system (261.16). This is because the terrain (261.19) on which said pipes (261.14, 261.20) are comprised onto (261.19), is a purely flat terrain (261.19). So, said light driving pipes (261.14, 261.20) on both sides, are therefore flat light driving pipes (261.14,261.20) comprised on a flat terrain (261.19) concerned.
The light rays (261.4, 261.9) form the sun, are driven into the same direction of projection towards the ground floor surface (261.19) on both sides of said pipes (261.14, 261.20). However, as said light driving pipes (261.14, 261.20) project oppositely to each other (261.14, 261.20), said concave mirrors (261.3, 261.13) are projecting oppositely to each other over each of said left (261.14) and right (261.20) driving pipes concerned. So, the left concave mirror (261.3) projects oppositely to said heat exchanger system (261.6), and hence oppositely to the other right concave mirrors (261.13), which project in turn oppositely to said heat exchanger system (261.6). So, the flat light ray collection heliostats (261.1, 261.2,261.10, 261.12) are arranged in different directions and positions of projection (261.1, 261.2, 261.10, 261.12), as required. So, in this case, said light rays (261.4) project towards the lower light ray collection heliostats (261.1) comprised over the left light driving pipe (261.14) directly. Over the right light driving pipe (261.20), said light rays (261.9) project directly towards the upper flat light ray collection heliostats (261.12) being present.
So, on the left hand side light driving pipe (261.14), the light rays (261.4) are driven with said upper heliostat (261.2) projecting perpendicularly to the light rays (261.4). This is meant to minimise obstruction to said light rays (261.4) with said upper minor (261.2), hence maximising light ray collection efficiencies for said lower heliostat (261.1) concerned. Said lower heliostat (261.1) collects said light rays (261.4), and reflects these (261.4), in order for said rays to be driven horizontally (261.5) by said lower heliostat (261.1) towards the concave mirror (261.3) comprised. This means that the light rays (261.5) are driven in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (261.14), towards said concave mirror (261.3) comprised. Said concave mirror (261.3) then drives and concentrates (261.3) said light rays towards the light driving pipe (261.14). Said light driving pipe (261.14) is comprised under said concave mirrors (261.3), and said light driving pipe (261.14) collects and drives (261.14) the light rays again into a parallel direction. Said parallel direction of projection, projects in the same horizontal direction of projection as the light rays (261.5) being driven to said concave mirror (261.3), and hence in parallel to said light driving pipe (261.14), towards the heat exchanger system (261.6) comprised. Said light driving pipe (261.14) is comprised under the concave mirrors (261.3) comprised. The light rays are driven by said pipe (261.14) towards the left hand side wall (261.6) of the heat exchanger system (261.6) comprised.
On the right hand side light driving pipe (261.20), the light rays (261.9) are driven with said upper heliostat (261.12) being oriented and projecting towards said light rays (261.9). So, said light rays (261.9) are being reflected and driven (261.12) by said upper light ray collection heliostat (261.12), and are driven (261.8) downwards. Said upper heliostat (261.12) drives said light rays (261.8) downwards towards the lower light ray collection heliostat (261.10). Said upper heliostat (261.12) hence drives said light rays (261.8) in parallel to the direction of projection of said lower light driving pipe (261.20), towards said lower light ray collection heliostat (261.10) concerned. Said lower heliostat (261.10) hence reflects and drives (261.10) said light rays (261.11), horizontally and into the same direction of projection as said lower light driving pipe (261.20), towards the concave mirrors (261.13). Said light rays (261.11) are being driven in parallel to said light driving pipe (261.20), towards said heat exchanger system (261.6) concerned, towards the concave mirror (261.13) concerned. Said concave mirror (261.13) then reflects and concentrates (261.13) said light rays towards the lower comprised light driving pipe (261.20), comprised at the right hand side of the heat exchanger system (261.6) concerned. Said concave minor (261.13) then drives and concentrates (261.13) said light rays towards the light driving pipe (261.20). Said light driving pipe (261.20) is comprised under said concave mirrors (261.13), and said light driving pipe (261.20) collects and drives (261.20) the light rays again into a parallel direction. Said parallel direction of projection, projects in the same horizontal direction of projection as the light rays (261.11) being driven to said concave mirror (261.13), and hence in parallel to said light driving pipe (261.20), towards the heat exchanger system (261.6) comprised. Said light driving pipe (261.20) is comprised under the concave mirrors (261.13) comprised. The light rays are driven by said pipe (261.20) towards the right hand side wall (261.6) of the heat exchanger system (261.6) comprised.
The advantage of said system design (261.14, 261.20) is that by comprising a heat exchanger system (261.6) comprised into the middle of the system (261.14, 261.20), the light rays (261.4,261.9) being driven by both pipes (261.14, 261.20) are maximised in power output, and show a minimised amount of losses. This is because the amount of mirrors required to drive these (261.4, 261.9) in the light driving pipes (261.4,261.9) is halved, hence reducing dramatically the light ray (261.4, 261.9) losses, as said heat exchanger system (261.6) is comprised at the middle of the solar ray collection and concentration system (261.14,261.20) comprised. So, said pipes (261.14, 261.20) are half in length (261.14, 261.20) to reach said central heat exchanger (261.6) comprised. So, said pipes (261.34, 261.41) are half in length to what is required (261.34, 261.41) in a conventional solar light ray collection system architecture, to reach said central heat exchanger system (261.26). So, said pipes (261.14, 261.20) drive the light rays (261.4, 261.9) from both sides (261.15, 261.7) of said system (261.14, 261.20) into said heat exchanger system (261.6) comprised, with the minimal losses in power output from said light rays (261.4, 261.9). This hence maximises power output from said light driving pipes (261.14, 261.20), as well as light ray collection (261.4, 261.9) and driving efficiencies from said system (261.14,261.20) to the centrally comprised heat exchanger system (261.6) concerned. This design (261.6) hence maximises the power generating output of said system (261.14, 261.20).
The light driving pipes (261.34, 261.41) can project oppositely to each other (261.34, 261.41), towards the heat exchanger system (261.26) comprised on the system concerned. However, on this system design (261.34, 261.41), said light driving pipes (261.34, 261.41) are comprised on an uneven floor surface (261.35, 261.40) topology on both sides of said heat exchanger system (26116). So, said light driving pipes (261.34, 261.41) are comprised being inclined on both sides (261.34, 261.41), hence following the uneven floor topology (261.35, 261.41) until both reaching the heat exchanger system (261.26) comprised at the middle of the system design (261.34, 261.41) comprised. The left light driving pipe (261.34), drives said light rays over the uneven floor topology (261.35) to the left piping structure (261.36). Said left piping structure (261.36) drives the light rays to the left wall structure (261 26) of the heat exchanger system (26116) comprised. Simultaneously, the right light driving pipe (261.41) drives the light rays over the uneven floor surface (261.40) towards the right piping structure (261.27) concerned.
So, said right piping structure (261.27) drives said light rays to the right wall of the heat exchanger system (261.26) being comprised. So, simultaneously, both piping structures (261.36, 26117) drive the light rays from both light driving pipes (261.34, 261.41), into opposite directions of projection towards the walls (261.26) of the heat exchanger system (261.26) concerned (261.26). So, both right and left walls (261.26) are being supplied (261.26) with heat from the light rays of both piping structures (261.34,261.41) concerned, from both left (264.36) and right (261Al) piping structures simultaneously. So, both left (261.36) and right (261.27) light driving pipes (261.36,261.27). supply heat from the light rays simultaneously to said heat exchanger system (261.26) concerned. So, the heat is supplied simultaneously onto said heat exchanger system (26116) concerned. The heat exchanger system (261.26) is sustained over the rough floor surface (261.35, 261.40) by a vertically projecting member (261.38). Said heat exchanger system (261.26) comprises both the fluid pipe (261.37) and energy storage fluid driving pipe (261.39), comprised into the body (261.26) of said heat exchanger system (261.26) concerned. So, the heat supplied by the piping structures (261.36,261.39) to the walls of said heat exchanger system (261.26), is transferred to both pipes (261.37, 261.39) simultaneously from said light rays, being driven by said piping structures (261.36, 261.27) comprised. Both pipes (261.37,261.39) flow simultaneously into the body of the heat exchanger system (261.6) comprised, hence collecting the heat from the light ray piping structures (261.36, 261.27) together and simultaneously into said heat exchanger system (261.26). The functionality of said pipes (261.37,261.39) on said heat exchanger system (261.26) is similar to what was previously explained. The fluid driving pipe (261.37) drives a steam turbine, with a fluid, preferably water, which drives a generator set to generate the required current. During the day time, the energy storage fluid pipe (261.39) drives fluid into an energy storage fluid tank.
So, at night, when no light rays project towards said heat exchanger system (261.26), the heat exchanger (261.26) is still used as the heat transfer point, where the energy storage fluid pipe (261.39) transfers the heat from the energy storage fluid to the fluid driving pipe (261.37), concerned into the same heat exchanger (261.26). So, said steam turbine can be driven by said fluid driving pipe (261.37) still at night, hence generating the required current on a 24 hour basis. Both day and night can see the system generate power, by using said heat exchanger (261.26) to transfer heat from said walls to said pipes (261.37, 261.39) simultaneously during the day, and from the energy storage pipe (261.39) to the fluid driving pipe (261.37) during the night. So, said fluid driving pipe (26137) would comprise a heated fluid to drive said steam turbine during both day and night. So, a 24 hour power generation solution, is therefore possible with said system design (261.26), as the fluid driving pipe (261.37) is being comprised in said system design (261.26). The heat exchanger system (261.26) heats both of said fluid driving pipe (261.37) and energy storage fluid pipe (261.39) simultaneously, during day time hours, with the heat of the light rays being supplied by said piping structures (261.36, 261.27) comprised.
The light rays (261.24, 261.29) from the sun (261.24, 261.29), project towards the ground floor surface (261.35, 261.40), into the same direction of projection on both sides (261.35, 261.40), towards said ground floor surface (261.35, 261.40). The light rays (261.24, 261.29) hence project equally towards said ground floor surface (261.35, 261.40), on one side (261.24) of the light ray collection system (261.35), as well as on the other side (261.29) of said light my collection system (261.40) comprised In this case, the light rays (261.24) project directly towards the lower heliostat (261.21) of the left light ray collection system (261.34) comprised, which is comprised over said left light driving pipe (261.34) concerned. So, the light rays (261.24) project directly towards said lower heliostat (261.21) comprised. The upper heliostat (261.22) is comprised projecting perpendicularly to the direction of projection of said light rays (261.24). This minimises obstruction to said rays (261.24) from said mirror (261.22), hence maximising light ray (261.24) collection efficiencies for said lower heliostat (261.21) concerned. The lower heliostat (261.21) reflects and drives (261.21) said light rays (261.25) into a horizontal direction of projection (261.25), which is in parallel to the direction of projection of said lower comprised light driving pipe (261.34). Said lower heliostats (261.21) hence drive said light rays (261.25) horizontally (261.25) and in parallel to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (261.34), to said frontally comprised concave mirror (261.23).
Said concave mirror (261.23) reflects and drives (261.23) said light rays (261.25) towards the interior of the light driving pipe (261.34) concerned. Said light driving pipe (261.34) is comprised under said concave mirrors (261.23), lower (261.21) and upper (261.22) light ray collecting (261.24) and driving (261.24) heliostats (261.21, 261.22) concerned. Said light driving pipe (261.34) drives said light rays to the left wall of the heat exchanger system (261.26) concerned (261.26), through the left piping structure (261.36) comprised. The concave mirror (261.23) projects oppositely to said heat exchanger system (261.26) comprised, as well as to said right hand side concave mirrors (261.33), which projects into the opposite direction of projection to said left hand side concave mirrors (261.23). On the right hand side, said light rays (261.29) project into the same direction as on the left hand side (261.24), which means that said light rays (261.29) project into an opposite direction to that of the lower heliostats (261.30) being comprised. So, on the right hand side (261.41) systems (261.41) being comprised (261.41), said concave mirrors (261.33) equally project oppositely to said heat exchanger system (261.26) and to said left hand side concave mirrors (261.23) being comprised. So, on the right hand side system (261.41), the other light ray (261.29) collection strategy is used. On the right hand side, said light rays (261.29) are initially collected by the upper light ray collection heliostat (261.32).
Said upper heliostat (261.32) are properly oriented, in terms of directions of projection (261.32), such that said upper mirrors (261.32) reflect the incoming light rays (261.29) collected by said heliostats (261.32). Said upper heliostat (261.32) hence reflects and drive said light rays (261.28) into a path of projection (261.28), which is parallel to said light driving pipe (261.41), and which projects directly towards the lower light collection heliostat (261.30) comprised. Said lower heliostats (261.30) are oriented in the proper direction of projection (261.30), such that said incoming light rays (261.28) are being reflected and driven by said heliostat (261.30), into a horizontally projecting path (261.31). Said lower light collection heliostat (261.30) reflects and drives said light rays (261.31) into a horizontally projecting path (261.31), which projects in parallel to the light driving pipe (261.41) and to the entire system concerned (261.41). Said light rays (261.31) are driven towards the concave mirror (261.33), which is comprised frontally to the lower light collection heliostat (261.30), hence collecting said light rays (261.31) straight from said lower heliostats (261.30) into said concave mirror (261.33) concerned. The light driving pipe (261.41) is comprised under the concave mirrors (261.33) and under the lower (261.30) and upper (261.32) heliostats concerned.
The concave mirrors (261.33) collect the light rays (261.31) driven by said lower heliostat (261.30), such that said mirrors (261.33) concentrates and drives (261.33) these rays (261.31) to the interior of the light driving pipe (261.41) concerned. Said light driving pipe (261.41) is comprised under said concave mirrors (261.33) comprised. Said light rays are hence driven by the convex minors, comprised inside said light driving pipe (261.41), again into the direction of projection. Said light driving pipe (261.41) hence drives said light rays towards the heat exchanger system (261.26), via said right hand sided pipe (261.27). Said right hand side pipe (261.27) communicates directly with the right light driving pipe (261.41) concerned. So, both left (261.36) and right (261.27) hand side light driving pipes (261.36, 261.27), supply the heat simultaneously to said heat exchanger system (261.26), which transfers it to the two pipes (261.37, 261.39) flowing through the heat exchanger system (261.26) cont-coled. This happens independently of the direction of projection of each light driving pipe (261.34, 261.41), as each pipe (261.34, 261.41) can have its own computerised control system, or share the same control system, for heliostat mirror (261.21, 261.22, 261.30, 261.32) positioning and orientation (261.21, 261.22, 261.30, 261.32), as required. So, both light driving pipes (261.34, 261.41) can project oppositely to each other (261.34, 261.41), as occurs in this case (261.36, 261.27) or in any other directions of projection.
This is irrelevant, as said light ray collection heliostats (261.21, 261.22, 261.30, 261.32) can be either oriented to let the light rays (261.24) pass beside it (261.22) in order for the lower heliostat (261.21) to take these (261.24), or can be oriented in order for the top heliostat (261.32) to initially collect the light rays (261.29), and then drive these (261.28) to the lower heliostat (261.30) for light ray reflection (261.31), as required. So, the light rays (261.24, 261.29) can project into any direction, without relevance, as the system (261.34,261.41) will accommodate the heliostats (261.21, 261.22, 261.30, 261.32) according to the commands from the centralised computer system, in order to collect said light rays (261.24, 261.29) from any position of projection (261.21, 261.22, 261.30,261.32) as well as any point of orientation (261.21, 261.22, 261.30, 261.32) present, as is required. This system design (261.34, 261.41) makes the system a very practicable and cheap tool to use for generating electrical current from the solar rays (261.24, 261.29), using concentrated solar power technology.
The advantage of said system design (261.34, 261.41) is that by comprising a heat exchanger system (261.26) comprised into the middle of the system (261.34, 261.41), the light rays (261.24, 261.29) being driven by both pipes (261.34, 261.41) are maximised in power output, and show a minimised amount of losses. This is because the amount of mirrors required to drive these (261.24, 261.29) in the light driving pipes (261.34, 261.41) is halved, hence reducing dramatically the light ray (261.24,261.29) losses, as said heat exchanger system (261.26) is comprised at the middle of the solar ray collection and concentration system (261.34, 261.41) comprised. So, said pipes (261.34,261.41) are half in length (261.34, 261.41) to reach said central heat exchanger (261.26) comprised. So, said pipes (261.34, 261.41) are half in length to what is required (261.34,261.41) in a conventional solar light ray collection system architecture, to reach said central heat exchanger system (261.26). So, said pipes (261.34, 261.41) drive the light rays (261.24, 261.29) from both sides (261.36, 261.27) of said system (261.34, 261.41) into said heat exchanger system (261.26) comprised, with the minimal losses in power output from said light rays (261.24, 261.29). This hence maximises power output from said light driving pipes (261.34, 261.41), as well as light ray collection (261.24, 261.29) and driving efficiencies from said system (26134, 261.41) to the centrally comprised heat exchanger system (261.26) concerned. This design (261.26) hence maximises the power generating output of said system (261.34, 261.41).
On the ground floor surface (261.52), a building (261.48) can be comprised. Said building (261.48) can comprise an upper flat surface (261.55) over its roof surface (261.55). Onc light driving pipe (261.45) can project the light rays collected by it (261.45) to a flat reflection mirror, which will then drive the light rays from said light driving pipe (261.45), into a vertically projecting pipe (261.44). Said vertical pipe (261.44) can follow the walled structure of said building (261.48) concerned. So, said light driving pipe (261.44), drives vertically said light rays (261.43) upwards from said light driving pipe (261.45) to a flat reflection mirror (261.42). Said flat mirror (261.42) then reflects and drives (261.42) said light rays (261.43) into the horizontally projecting light driving pipe (261.49). Said horizontally projecting light driving pipe (261.49) is comprised over the upper surface (261.55) of the roof (261.55) of the building structure (261.48) comprised. Said horizontal light driving pipe (261.49) hence drives the light rays towards the heat exchanger system (261.51) comprised. As said light driving pipe (261.45) projects towards the building structure (261.48), and towards the centre of the building structure (261.48) comprised, said concave mirrors (261.47) project into the opposite direction to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (261.45). The concave mirrors (261.47) are sustained by the lateral sustaining members (261.46). Both of said concave mirrors (261.47) and said light driving pipe (261.45) are sustained into position by said rigid horizontally projecting sustaining members (261.46). Said concave mirrors (261.47) are comprised under said rigid horizontal sustaining members (261.46). Said light driving pipe (261.45) is comprised under the horizontally projecting (261.46) sustaining members (261.46) comprised.
Therefore, said concave mirrors (261.50) are comprised projecting oppositely to said right hand side concave mirrors (261.53), as well as to the heat exchanger system (261.51) comprised. Said light driving pipe (261.49) on the roof surface (261.55), project directly towards the heat exchanger system (261.51) that is being comprised. On the right hand side of the heat exchanger system (261.51), said light driving pipe (261.60) can drive the light rays under said concave mirrors (261.61) to a flat reflection mirror. Said concave mirrors (261.61) are sustained by said rigid horizontally projecting members (261.57) into position. The light driving pipe (261.60) is sustained by said horizontally projecting members (261.57) into position. The light driving pipe (261.60) is comprised under said horizontally projecting sustaining members (261.57). The concave mirrors (261.61) are sustained over said horizontally projecting sustaining member (261.57), which also sustains these mirrors (261.61) rigidly into the required positions. The light driving pipe (261.60) is sustained rigidly (261.60) under the horizontally projecting sustaining members (261.57) comprised, which also sustains (261.57) said pipe (261.60) rigidly into position to said members (261.57), as required. Said light driving pipe (261.60) drives the light rays that it collected, under the concave mirrors (261.60), as well as under said sustaining horizontally projecting members (261.57) to a flat reflection mirror.
Said mirror drives said light rays (261.59) into a vertically projecting light driving pipe (261.58), along the outer wall surface (261.48) of said building structure (261.48) being comprised. Said light rays (261_59) are hence driven through said light driving pipe (261.58), vertically upwards towards the level of the roof surface (261.55) of the building structure (261.48) comprised. At said roof (261.55) level, said light driving pipe (261.58), drives said light rays (261.59) to a flat reflection mirror (261.56). Said flat reflection mirror (261.56) reflects and drives (261.56) said light rays (261.59) into a light driving pipe (261.54). Said light driving pipe (261.54) is comprised over the upper surface (261.55) of the roof surface (261.55) of the building structure (261.48) comprised. So, said flat reflection mirror (261.56) drives said light rays (261.59) over the roof surface (261.55) of said building (261.48), into a light ray driving pipe (261.54). Said light rays driving pipe (261.54) drives said light rays (26139) directly to the heat exchanger system (261.51). Said heat exchanger system (261.51) hence collects the light rays that are driven by said light driving pipe (261.54) comprised.
As the light driving pipe (261.54) projects towards the heat exchanger system (261.51) concerned, said concave minors (261.53) comprised over said light driving pipe (261.54), project oppositely to said heat exchanger system (261.51), and hence oppositely to also the left hand side comprised concave mirrors (261.50) as well. Said light driving pipe (261.54) is comprised under said concave mirrors (261.53), but over the upper surface (261.55) of the roof (261.55) of the building structure (261.48) concerned. The concave mirrors (261.61) along the ground floor surface (261.52), project oppositely to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (261.60), which is towards the building structure (261.48) comprised. Said concave mirror (261.61) is sustained by said horizontal members (261.57), but comprises the light driving pipe (261.60) under said concave mirrors (261.61) comprised.
So, it is perfectly possible to comprise a heat exchanger system (261.51), which receives the light rays (261.43, 261.59) simultaneously form the two light driving pipes (261.49, 261.54), projecting oppositely to each other (261.49, 261.54) towards the heat exchanger system (261.51) comprised. Said heat exchanger system (261.51) should preferably be comprised onto the middle of the roof surface (261.55) of the building structure (261.48) comprised. However, any alteration is possible. The light driving pipes (261.49,261.54) can collect solar light rays from the upper surface on the roof (261.55) of said building structure (261.48). This is why said concave mirrors (261.50, 261.53) are present over the floor surface (261.55) of the building structure (261.48) comprised. So, by using said upper floor surface (261.55) as a field to also collect solar light rays, and drive these into said light driving pipes (261.49, 261.54), the system maximises its use of floor space for power generation, whether it is on the ground floor surface (261.52), or at the upper roof surface (261.55) of a building structure (261.48) being comprised.
This system (261.49, 261.54) shows that there are no limits for introducing a fully functioning system (261.49,261.54), weather a building (261.48) is comprised on the path or not, said power can be generated from the roof upper surface * (261.55), as well as from along the ground surface (261.52). Both pipes (261.49,261.54) drive the light rays (261.43, 261.59) simultaneously to the heat exchanger system (261.51), comprised on the upper roof surface (261.55) of the building structure (261.48) comprised. The light rays (261.43,261.59) are driven by flat mirrors (261.42, 261.56) through light driving pipes (261.44, 261.58) from the lower surface (261.45, 261.60) along the ground floor surface (261.52) to the light driving pipes (261.49, 261.54) along the upper floor surface (261.55), which is comprised on said building structure (261.48) comprised. The heat exchanger system (261.51) is comprised (261.51), along with said light driving pipes (261.49, 261.54), on the top (261.55) of the upper roof surface (261.55) of the building structure (261.48) concerned.
The advantage of said system design (261.45, 261.49, 261.54, 261.60) is that the system can be perfectly versatile to be inserted into the upper roof surface (261.55) of building structures (261.48), or any other obstacles (261.48), while still using the entire ground floor surface (261.52, 261.55) to collect light rays (261.43,261.59) in order to generate electrical power. The other advantage of this system design (261.49,261.54), is that the positioning of the two light driving pipes (261.49, 261.54) towards each other, and projecting towards said heat exchanger system (261.51), is a good design idea (261.51), as said light rays (261.43,261.59) can comprised from both sides (261.45, 261.49, 261.54, 261.60) onto said heat exchanger system (261.51) being comprised. This design concept (261.49, 261.54) hence minimises the light rays (261.43, 261.59) being lost due to the number of mirrors being comprised in the process of driving these (261.43,261.59). This is because the longer is a light ray (261.43, 261.59) collection system, the more mirrors will have to be comprised for said light rays (261.43, 261.59) to reach the heat exchanger system (261.51) comprised. So, said mid positioned heat exchanger (261.51) cuts the distance to said heat exchanger (261.51) from the initial light driving pipes (261.45, 261.60) by nation the two sides of the solar ray collection system (261.45,261.60) comprised.
This hence maximises light ray (261.43, 261.59) efficiencies, hence maximising light ray (261.43, 261.59) collection and driving (261.43, 261.59) efficiencies, and hence maximising the power output generated by said heat exchanger systems (261.51), comprised at the middle (261.51) of the system (261.45, 261.49, 261.54, 261.60) comprised. This system design (261.45, 261.54) makes said light ray collection system very versatile, not only to be positioned along various obstacles (261.48) being comprised (261.55), but also in points of view of light ray (261.43, 261.59) driving efficiencies by minimising the amount of minors required to drive these (261.43, 261.59). Said light driving pipes (261.45, 261.49, 261.54, 261.60) achieve being moved for the ground floor level (261.52) to the upper roof surface level (261.55) by the use of light driving pipes (261.44, 261.58), with flat reflection mirrors (261.42, 261.56), in order to drive said light rays (261.43,261.59) into the required directions of projection (261.43, 261.59) in question.
The heat exchanger system (261.79) can also be comprised along the ground floor surface (261.71), where the pipes (261.76, 261.81) of the two different sides (261.76, 261.81) meet at the heat exchanger system (261.79) comprised. So, one pipe (261.65) is driven upwards (261.64) to drive its light rays (261.63) over the upper roof surface (261.68) of a building (261.69) concerned, such that said light driving pipe (261.70) can collect light rays from the upper roof surface (261.68) on said building concerned (261.69), and then drives its light rays (261.75) back into a downward projecting vertical pipe (261.74) to the ground floor surface (261.71), where said light driving pipe (261.76) collects the light rays until reaching said heat exchanger system (261.79) concerned. This system design (261.70) hence proves that said light collection system can be driven over any building (261.68) or obstacle (261.69) concerned, and said light rays (261.63, 261.75) being driven up (261.63) and back (261.75) through closed pipes (261.64,261.74), such that its light rays (261.63, 261.75) can be driven along said light driving pipe (261.76) along the ground floor surface (261.71) to the heat exchanger system (261.79) concerned.
The right hand side light driving pipe (261.81), drives the light rays towards the heat exchanger system (261.79), comprised along the ground floor surface (261.71), as required. The concave mirrors (261.80) project oppositely to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (261.81), and hence oppositely to the opposite system's (261.76) concave mirrors (261.78), as well as opposite to said heat exchanger system (261.79) concerned. The concave mirrors (261.80) are sustained into position by said horizontally projecting sustaining members (261.82), which sustain both of said upper concave mirrors (261.80) and said lower light driving pipe (261.81), rigidly into position. The left light driving pipe (261.65) collects the light rays from said upper components, comprised over said light driving pipe (261.65) concerned. The left pipe (261.65) drives said light rays along the ground floor surface (261.71). The concave mirrors (261.67) project oppositely to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (261.65), and concentrates (261.67) the light rays into said light driving pipe (261.65) concerned. The concave mirrors (261.67) are sustained into position by a set of lower comprised horizontal sustaining members (261.66). Said members (261.66) in turn also sustain said light driving pipe (261.65) system into position. The light driving pipe (261.65) drives, along the ground floor surface (261.71), the light rays under said concave mirrors (261.67) and said sustaining members (261.66), towards a flat reflection minor. Said reflection mirror drives the light rays (261.63) into a vertically projecting light driving pipe (261.64).
Said pipe (261.64) can be driven along the wall surface (261.69) of the building structure (261.69) comprised, hence saving construction costs, Said pipe (261.64) is driven virtually upwards, such that the light rays (261.63) meet a flat reflection mirror (261.62) when reaching the upper floor surface (261.68) comprised at the roof surface (261.68) of the building structure (261.69) concerned. Said vertical pipe (261.64) can be driven along the side walls of the building concerned (261.69) in order to minimise costs. The flat reflection minor (261.62) drives the light rays (261.63) horizontally again through the light driving pipe (261.70), which is comprised on the roof surface (261.68) of the building structure (261.69). Said light driving pipe (261.70) hence collects the light rays over the roof surface (261.68) of the building (261.69), with said pipe (261.70) projecting into the same direction of projection, as was lower (261.65) along the ground floor surface (261.71).
The light driving pipe (261.70) collects the light rays over the roof surface (261.68), with said concave mirrors (261.72) being comprised upwards in order to concentrate (261.72) the light rays into said light driving pipe (261.70) concerned. Said light driving pipe (261.70) drives the light rays horizontally on the roof surface (261.68) to another flat reflection mirror (261.73), comprised above the upper floor surface (261.68) of the roof (261_68) of the building concerned (261.69). Said flat reflection mirror (261.73) is comprised at the end of said light driving pipe (261.70). Said mirror (261.73) drives said light rays back vertically downwards (261.75). Said light rays (261.75) are hence driven vertically downwards (261.75) by said upper flat mirror (261.73), into a closeted and vertically projecting light driving pipe (261.74). Said pipe (261.74) can project vertically downwards (261.74), but along the wall surface (261.59) of the building structure (261.59) concerned. This would hence save construction costs. Said pipe (261.74) drives said light rays (261.75) to the level of surface which is comprised over the ground floor surface (261.71) again. So, said pipe (261.74) reflects said light rays (261.75) horizontally again when these (261.75) reach the surface level (261.71) where said light rays are driven horizontally again (261.75) over said ground floor surface (261.71), as required. This is performed by said lower flat reflection mirror. So, the light rays (261.75) are driven horizontally again by said other flat mirror, along the ground floor surface (261.71) comprised, through a light driving pipe (261.76).
Said light rays (261.75) are hence driven along said light driving pipe (261.76) towards said heat exchanger system (261.79) comprised. Said light rays (261.75) are driven under the upper components, including the concave mirrors (261.78), through said pipe (261.76) to the heat exchanger system (261.79) concerned. The concave mirror (261.78) projects oppositely to the direction of projection of said light driving pipe (261.76). So, said concave mirror (261.78) projects oppositely to said opposite system's (261.81) concave mirrors (261.80) and said heat exchanger system (261.79) being comprised. The upper members (261.78) over said light driving pipe (261.76), collect the light rays as required, with said concave mirrors (261.78) projecting the light rays to said light driving pipe (261.76), until said pipe (261.76) reaches the heat exchanger system (261.79) comprised. The light driving pipe (261.76) is comprised under the horizontally projecting sustaining members (261.77), which sustain said light driving pipe (261.76) into position rigidly from above.
The concave mirrors (261.78) are sustained into position by said lower comprised horizontally projecting members (261.77). Saud horizontal members (261.77) sustain both concave (261.78) and light driving pipes (261.76) comprised. The light driving pipe (261.76) is comprised under the horizontally sustaining member (261.77), which is in turn sustained under said concave mirrors (261.78) comprised. Said light rays (261.75) are driven to the heat exchanger system (261.79) along the ground floor surf-ace (261.71). So, both light driving pipes (261.76, 261.81) drive simultaneously the light rays (261.75) to the heat exchanger system (261.79) concerned. So, said heat exchanger system (261.79) collects the light rays (261.75) from both side positioned pipes (261.76, 261.81), and transmits the heat of said light rays (261.75) to the fluid pipes being driven along said heat exchanger system (261.79) for power generation purposes. Said fluid driving pipes can use the heat of the light rays (261.75) simultaneously for both power generation and energy storage applications, as required.
The advantages of said system design (261.70), is that said light driving pipe (261.65, 261.70,261.76) can be driven very easily to an upper surface (261.68) of an obstacle (261.69) being comprised, such as a building (261.69), while using said upper surface (261.68) to collect and concentrate the light rays into said pipe (261.70), as required. The light rays (261.63, 261.75) are driven upwards (261.63) to said upper surface (261.68) and downwards (261.75) to said ground floor surface level (261.71) again by light driving pipes (261.64, 261.74). Said pipes (261.64, 261.74) are closed to the outer public to minimise maintenance costs of said structures (261.64, 261.74), and drives said light rays (261.63, 261.75) by the means of flat reflection mirrors (261.62,261.73). Said mirrors (261.62, 261.73) are being comprised inside said light driving pipe structures (261.64,261.74) in question. So, said light rays (261.63,261.75) can be driven across any obstacle comprised on the path, in this case a building (261.69), while using the upper floor surface space (261.68) to collect light rays from the sun. This makes said system (261.65, 261.70, 261.76) extremely versatile and practical for all types of applications, including the use of said system (261.65, 261.70, 261.76) for applications on rough or populated terrains, according to requirements. Said light rays (261.63, 261.75) can be driven (261.64, 261.74) up (261.63) into a pipe (261.64) or down (261.75) into another pipe (26134), over said obstacles (261.69) concerned, by said light driving pipes (26L64, 26134), according to the requirements of the customers in question.
The systems of light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29) can be comprised as oppositely projecting light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29), which project towards each other (262.1, 262.29), with a heat exchanger system (262.10) comprised between said two light driving pipes (262.1,262.29), in order to collect the light rays of both pipes (262.1,262.29) simultaneously. Said system provides the advantage of shortening the distance of said light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29) on both sides until reaching said heat exchanger system (262.10) concerned. This hence reduces the amount of mirrors required to drive said light rays form both sides (262.1, 262.29) until said heat exchanger concerned (262.10). This hence saves light ray energy, and therefore minimises light ray losses, hence maximising light ray collection efficiencies. The light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29) are comprised in sets of terrain (262.2, 262.28), which are specially adapted and designed (262.2, 262.28) to accommodate said light diving pipes (262.1,262.29) on both sides (262.1, 262.29) of the system (262.10) concerned. The light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29) comprise a flat light driving pipe seal (262.4) at the start of each of said pipes (262.1, 262.29) concerned. Said seal (262.4) closes the light driving pipe (262.1, 262.29) to the outer environment in order to minimise maintenance costs, as this avoids any unwanted matter form being accumulated inside said pipes (262.1, 262.29). Furthermore, said seal (262.4) is present at the start of each of said pipes (262.1, 262.29), as a starting member, but which simultaneously seals said pipes (262.1,262.29) to the outer public, hence maximising the safety of the outer public concerned_ The light driving pipes (262.1,262.29), can he driven on each of the sides (262.2, 262.28) comprised, to the heat exchanger system (262.10). So, on each side (262.2, 262.28), said light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29) project with the light driving structures (262.9,262.19) to the heat exchanger system (262.10) concerned. Each of said pipes (262.1, 262.29) is driven separately through a piping structure (262.21), which makes a tour of light ray driving (26211), in order for all of said pipes (262.9, 262.19) to then project all light rays simultaneously to the heat exchanger system (262.10) concerned. So, all pipes (262.1, 262.29) drive the light rays to said heat exchanger system (262.10), in order to simultaneously supply heat as one source by all pipes (262.1, 262.29) to said heat exchanger system (262.10) comprised. The light driving pipe (262.21) tour, drives the light rays by flat reflection mirrors, and is present in order for all the light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29), to project the light rays into the required space (262.9,262.19), in order for said pipes (262.9, 262.19) to reach the lateral surfaces (262.10) of the heat exchanger system (262.10) comprised. The light rays are driven by said pipes (262.9, 262.19) on both sides of said heat exchanger system (262.10) simultaneously. Said heat exchanger system (262.10) drives the collected heat from the light rays (262.9,262.19) to drive a steam turbine (262.11). Said steam turbine (262.11) in turn, drives an electric generator set (262.12). Said generator set (262.12) generates the required current demanded to the system comprised.
Said generator set (262.12) drives the generated electrical power via a cable (262.13) to a power distribution box (262.15). Said power distribution box (262.15) distributes the power supplied into different applications. From said box (262.15), a cable (262.18) supplies the required power (262.18) to the electrical grid or to the power demanding community (262.18), as it is required. Said light driving pipes (262.9, 262.19) project in parallel to each other (262.9,262.19), beside each other (262.9, 26/19), to said heat exchanger system (262.10) comprised. In this case, no concave minor is comprised or required to concentrate said light rays (262.9, 262.19), before these (262.9, 262.19) get driven towards said heat exchanger system (262.10) concerned. This is because the heat exchanger system (262.10) comprises long enough walls (262.10) on both sides (262.9, 262.19), in order to collect the heat of all the light rays (262.9, 262.19), being projected on both sides of said heat exchanger system (262.10) simultaneously. The heat exchanger system (262.10) is designed such that enough space is comprised along its side walls (262.10) to collect simultaneously the heat from the light rays (262.9, 262.19), projected by said light driving pipes (262.2, 262.29) concerned. Said power distribution box (262.15), also supplies the required current via a cable (262.16) to another power distribution box (262.14) to supply power to the actuators on one side (262.2), and to another cable (262.17), which supplies the required power for the actuators concerned to a box (262.20) on the other side (262.28) of said system (262.2, 262.28). This system design (262.14, 262.20) is comprised, in order to supply the required power (262.14, 262.20) to the actuators comprised over the light driving pipes (262.1,262.29) at once and simultaneously.
The power distribution box (262.15) supplies the required power via cables (262.16, 262.17) to the power distribution boxes (262.14, 262.20) comprised at each side (262.2,262.28) of the solar ray collection and concentration systems (262.1,262.29) being comprised at each of said sides (262.2, 262.28). On one side (262.2), one power distribution box (262.14) distributes the power into one cable (262.5), which is driven (262.5) along one side of the sustaining bars, in order to supply all upper heliostats (262.7) with the required power output (262.3), in order for the actuators of said heliostats (262.7) to function as required. The power is driven via the main cable (262.5), which distributes said electrical power into smaller cables (262.3) for each upper heliostat (262.7) comprised. Said box (262.14) drives another cable (262.6), which drives the electrical power to supply the actuators of said lower heliostats (262.8) with the required power output (262.30), such that said lower heliostats (262.8) can function perfectly. Said cable (262.6) distributes its power output into smaller cables (262.30), such that each of said cables (26230) can supply the required power output to each lower heliostat (262.8) separately and independently. Said cable (262.6) should be driven along the other sustaining member side (262.6) comprised. Said system design (262.5, 262.8), should be comprised for each heliostat comprised over each light driving pipe (262.1), comprised along said side (262.2) of the system (262.2) concerned.
On the other side (262.28), a similar system design (262.28) is comprised. Said power distribution box (262.20) distributes its power to a cable (262.23) which is driven along one side of the sustaining members to supply power (262.25) to the lower heliostats (262.27) of the system concerned. Said cable (262.23) distributes the power into little cables (262.25) in order to supply the actuators of said lower heliostats (262.27) with the required power separately and independently. Another cable (262.22) is supplied by said power distribution box (262.20) along the other sustaining member side, to supply power (26224) to the upper heliostats (262.26) comprised. So, said cable (262.22) distributes the power output into smaller cables (262.24), which supply the required power to each upper heliostat (262.26) totally separately and independently. Each light my collection system of said side (262.28) should also comprise said system along each of the light my driving pipes (262.29) concerned on the system (262.28) of said side (262.28).
The orientations of the two systems (262.2, 262.28) are towards each other (262.2, 262.28) for this case. However, the orientations of the light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29) towards each other (262.1,262.29), comprised on each of the two sides (262.2, 262.28), can be any type of orientation. As long as said heat exchanger system (262.10) is comprised as the central point of light ray projection for the ends (262.9, 262.19) of said light driving pipes (262.1,262.29) of the two sides (262.2, 262.28), any orientation can be acceptable. This is because the shortening of the light driving piping (262.1, 262.29) reduces the amount of mirrors required to drive these rays into said light driving pipes (262.1, 262.29), hence maximising light ray collection efficiencies and minimising losses, due to the reduced number of light ray driving mirrors comprised.
The light driving pipes (263.1,263.24) can project oppositely to each other (263.1, 263.24), which means that in this case, said light driving pipes (2632, 262.23) can project oppositely to each other. Said systems (263.1, 263.24) can hence be comprised projecting towards each other (263.2, 262.23), and said heat exchanger system (263.7) comprised in the middle of the system (263.7) concerned. However, said orientation in which said heliostats (263.4, 263.22, 263.3, 263.21) are projecting, can be any. The lower (263.4, 263.22) and upper (263.3, 263.21) heliostats can comprise each, a separate computer system, or a common computer control system for a plurality of said heliostats (263.4, 263.22, 263.3, 263.21) concerned. Each computerised system can orientate each of said heliostats (263.4, 263.22, 263.3, 263.21) in the required direction, according to the sun's position and according to the direction of projection of said heliostats (263.4, 263.22,263.3, 263.21). The light driving pipes (263.2, 263.23) can perfectly project opposite to each other (263.2, 263.23) from said systems (263.1, 263.24), because it is easier to position said heat exchanger system (263.7) just in the middle of said two systems (263.1, 263.24) comprised. This would halve the distance of each light driving pipe (263.2, 263.23) by half from the start to the end (263.6,263.18) when reaching said heat exchanger system (263.7). This would hence half the number of mirrors required for said light rays to be driven through said light driving pipes (263.1, 263.24) to the heat exchanger system comprised (263.7), hence minimising light ray losses and maximising light ray collection and driving efficiencies.
Another advantage of this system design (263.10), is that a concave mirror (263.12) concentrates the light rays of a plurality of light driving pipes (263.18) into a convex mirror (263.16), such that said light rays (263.11) are driven through a single pipe (263.10) to the heat exchanger system (263.7) concerned. This hence opens a wide free space on said side of the heat exchanger (263.7), and allows other light driving pipes (263.20) of other solar light ray collection systems, to drive its light rays (263.19) straight to said side of the exchanger system (263.7) concerned. This maximises heat transfer output from said heat exchanger system (263.7), hence maximising heat collection and power generation efficiency for said system (263.7) comprised, as well as minimising the number of heat exchangers (263.7) that are required. A plurality of said pipes (263.20) from other systems (263.20), can be comprised projecting with the light rays (263.19) towards the heat exchanger system (263.7) concerned. The light driving pipes (263.1, 263.23) project oppositely to each other (263.1, 263.23), with said system design generates (263.2, 263.24) for this design case. The concave mirror (263.12) can be comprised on the two sides (263.7) of the heat exchanger system (263.7) concerned. So, said convex mirror (263.16) can drive the light rays of a plurality of light driving pipes (263.6, 263.18) into a single light ray (263.11) driving pipe (263.10) from both sides (263.7) of the heat exchanger system (263.7) comprised. This would allow a plurality of light driving pipes (263.20) from other systems, to drive its light rays (263.19) into both sides of the heat exchanger (263.7) system concerned, hence maximising temperature transfer and collection, and maximising heat exchanger (263.7) efficiencies.
On one side (263.1) of said light ray collection system, the light driving pipe (263.2), drives the light rays which are collected by said upper comprised lower heliostat (263.4) and upper comprised upper heliostat (263.3). So, said light driving pipes (263.2) drive the light rays collected by said above comprised heliostats (263.3, 263.4), under said heliostats (263.3, 263.4), into said light driving pipe (263.2) concerned. The light rays (263.5) are driven by flat reflection mirrors, across sideways projecting pipes (263.5). So, said light rays (263.6) are oriented by said flat mirrors, and project (263.6) exactly towards a position along the side (263.7) of the heat exchanger system (263.7) being comprised. On the other side (263.24), said light driving pipe (263.23) collects and drives the light rays collected by said upper heliostats (263.21) and lower heliostat (263.22) comprised. Said light driving pipes (263.23) hence drive the light rays, which are supplied by said upward projecting heliostats (263.21, 263.22), under said heliostats (263.21, 263.22) into said light driving pipe (263.23) concerned. The light driving pipe (263.23), drives said light rays to a laterally positioned and projecting piping structure (263.17). Said laterally projecting piping structure (263.17) drives said light rays (263.15) to the point of projection into said concave mirror (263.12) system, by the means of flat reflection mirrors. Said light rays (263.15) project directly into the surface (263.12) of said concave mirror (263.12), once said light rays (263.15) project directly towards said concave minor (263.12) comprised.
The light rays (263.15) from said straight projecting light driving pipe (263.18), project (263.15, 263.18) directly towards the surface of a concave mirror (263.12), which projects (26112) directly towards said light driving pipe (263.18) concerned. Said concave minor (263.12) drives and concentrates (263.13) the light rays (263.13) towards a convex mirror (263.16), which is comprised between the directions of projection of said light driving pipes (263.16). The convex mirror (263.16) drives said light rays (263.11), in a coherent and concentrated manner (263.11) from its (263.16) surface. The light rays (263.11) are hence driven (26311) coherently from said convex minor (263.16) into a light driving pipe (263.10). Said light driving pipe (263.10) drives the light rays (26311) straight to one of the sides (2633) of the heat exchanger system (263.7) comprised. So, said heat exchanger (263.7) comprises the light rays (263.19) of said other pipe (263.20), the light rays (263.11) of said light driving pipe (263.10) and the light rays of id light driving pipes (263.6), all (263.11, 263.19) being driven and projected towards the lateral sides (263.7) of the heat exchanger system (263.7) in question. So, said heat exchanger (263.7) transmits the heat from said light rays (263.11, 263.19) to the fluid driving pipes, in order to generate power, hence maximising the efficiency of power transmission of said heat exchanger system (263.7), and minimising the number of heat exchangers (263.7) required. The heat exchanger system (263.7) transfers the heat of the light rays (263.11, 263.19) to the fluid driving pipe, which passes through said heat exchanger (263.7) system. Said fluid driving pipe, drives a steam turbine (263.8), which in turn drives a generator set (263.9) using the mechanical work generated by said steam turbine (263.8). Said generator set (263.9), generates the required current from said system (263.7), as it is demanded by the side living communities for power and grid supply.
The concave (263 12) and convex (263.16) mirrors (263.12,263.16) are comprised inside a closed casing (263.14), such that no outer elements from the outer environment enter into said casing (263.14). This maximises public safety and minimises maintenance costs to the materials (263.12,263.16) comprised inside said casing (263.14), which is why it (263.14) is closed and sealed from the outer public. Each light driving pipe (263.2, 263.23) comprises a sealed member (263.25) at the start of each of said light driving pipes (263.2, 263.23). Said sealed member (263.25) is sealed in order to maximise the safety of the outer public, while minimising maintenance costs of the material comprised inside said light driving pipes (263.2, 263.23). Said sealed member (263.25) also ensures that said light driving pipes (263.2, 263.23) start with the required diametrical dimensions, as required.
The light driving pipes (264.35) of an off shore comprised (264.36) system, can be concentrated by a concave mirror (264.27) into a single light ray beam (264.26). So, said light rays will be driven into an off shore pipe (264.17, 264.18, 264.21, 264.25), and be dimensioned into the required position by using flat reflection mirrors (264.14,264.16). So, said light driving pipe (264.8) can hence drive the light rays (264.9) driven by said flat reflection mirror (264.14) towards one side of the heat exchanger system (264.3) comprised. Said heat exchanger system (264.3) not only takes the light rays (264.9) of said light driving pipe (264.8), but also from the light driving pipes (264.7) of the other system which is crossed laterally by said light driving pipe (264.8) concerned. Also, a light driving pipe (264.1) can drive the light rays (264.2) from another solar light ray collection and concentration system, towards the other side (264.3) of the heat exchanger system (264.3) comprised.
So, said heat exchanger system (264.3) can hence collect the light rays (264.2, 264.9) of all the light driving pipes (264.1, 264.7, 264.8) together and simultaneously into the heat exchanger concerned (264.3). This means that the power generation efficiency of said heat exchanger (264.3) will be maximised, and the number of heat exchanger systems (264.3) required will be minimised for said system (264.12) concerned. So, the fact that all light rays (264.2, 264.9) are driven via concentrated pipes (264.1, 264.8) to the lateral walls (264.3) of the heat exchanger (264.3) concerned_ This hence maximises free space for any other light driving pipes (264.1) driving the light rays (264.2) to the heat exchanger system (264.3) concerned, as well as therefore minimising the size and the amount of heat exchanger systems (264.3) required for the system (264.12) in question. Simultaneously, the light driving pipes (264.11) of said closer system (264.12), drive the light rays via pipes (264.6) to the directly projecting pipes (264.7), which drive said light rays to the lateral walls of the heat exchanger system (264.3) in question. So, a super-efficient but small heat exchanger system (264.3), is the results from said design (264.8). So, no off shore heat exchanger system (264.3) will be required for the system (264.36) in question.
An off shore comprised (264.36) light driving pipe platform (264.36) can comprise a set of light driving pipes (264.35) on the top (264.36) of its upper surface (264.36). The rigid pipes (264.38) are stressed (264.38) and attached to a sustaining member (264.37) along the river or sea bed (264.23). Said system (264.34) is hence comprised offshore, and is sustained by a plurality of said ropes (264.38), which should be preferably metallic (26438) and stressed (264.38). These (264.38) attach to said plurality of sustaining members (264.37) comprised along the sea or river bed (24.23) concerned. So, said system (264.36) can house a plurality of light driving pipes (264.35) on its upper surface (264.36). Said light driving pipes (264.35), drive the light rays collected by said system (264.35), across perpendicularly projecting tubular structures (264.33). Said piping structures (264.33) drive the light rays by sets of flat reflection mirrors, to the required position of projection (264.33), comprised in front of a free side of the concave mirror (264.27) comprised. So, a directly projecting piping structure (264.32), drives said light rays (264.29), in parallel to the other light driving pipes (264.32) comprised beside it (264.32), to the reflecting surface of said concave mirror (264.27). Said concave mirror (264.27) reflects and concentrates (264.27) said light rays (264.28) towards a convex mirror (264.31). Said convex mirror (264.31) is comprised just projecting in front of said concave mirror (264.27) structure, and is comprised between two light driving pipe light ray (264.29) projections from said parallel projecting light driving pipes (264.32) concerned.
Said convex mirror (264.31), along with the concave mirror (264.27), are comprised in a sealed container (264.30) structure. Said structure (264.30) is sealed in order to maximise the safety of the outer public, and to impede any unwanted environmental matter from accumulating itself over the surfaces of said members (264.27, 264.31) comprised inside said sealed structure (264.30). This minimises maintenance costs of said members (264.27, 264.31) comprised inside said sealed structure (264.30). The convex mirror (264.31) drives the light rays (264.26), in a concentrated (264.26) and coherent (264.26) single light ray (264.26) beam, from the surface of said convex mirror (264.31) into a light driving pipe (264.20). Said light rays (264.26) are hence driven as a concentrated single light ray beam (264.26) into said light driving pipe (264.20) to the light driving vertical pipe (264.25). Said vertically projecting pipe (264.25) drives said light rays (264.26) under the sea surface (264.23), hence driving these rays (264.26) across the sea or river bed (264.23) concerned The vertically projecting light driving pipe (264.25) drives said light rays (264.24) into a horizontally projecting pipe (264.18). Said pipe (264.18) is comprised under the water surface (264.23), hence being driven along the sea or river bed (264.23) comprised.
Said light rays (264.24) are driven under the water surface through said off shore pipe (264.18) until reaching the other vertically projecting pipe (264.21). Said pipe (264.21) drives the light rays (264.24)10 the on shore (264.15) surface of the light ray collection system (264.12) comprised. So, said vertically projecting pipe (264.21) drives the light rays (264.24) to the outer water surface, hence being comprised inside a pipe (264.17) which is above the surface of the water on shore (264.15). Said pipe (264.17) drives the light rays (264.22) across the on shore comprised (264.15) piping systems (264.17). Said piping system (264.17) drives said light rays (264.22) to a set of flat reflection mirrors (264.16, 264.14). Said pipe (264.17) and light reflection mirrors (264.16, 264.14), drive the light rays (264.22) across on shore terrain (264.13). The set of flat reflection minors (264.16, 264.14), drives said light rays (264.22) to the required position of projection towards the heat exchanger system (264.3) concerned. So, after leaving the last flat light reflection mirror (264.14), said light rays (264.9) are driven across a sealed pipe (264.8) into the on shore terrain (264.13) towards the heat exchanger system (264.3).
Said system collects the light rays (264.9) of said off shore collected light rays (264.9), which crosses the on shore (264.13) comprised light ray collection system, hence passing with said pipe (264.8) in parallel to other light diving pipes (264.11), and projecting in the same direction of projection as said lateral (264.11) light driving pipes (264.11). Said pipes (264.11) also collect light rays on shore (264.13). Said light driving pipe (264.8) crosses the light ray collection system (264.12) comprised on shore (264.13), in order for the light rays (264.9) of said pipe (264.8), to reach the heat exchanger system (2643) comprised (264.3), as required. Said light driving pipe (264.8) crosses the system (264.12) of light driving pipes (264.11), such that said pipe (264.8) projects in the same direction of projection as said laterally comprised light driving pipes (264.11) in said system (264.12) comprised. So, all light rays (264.9) reach said heat exchanger system (264.3) comprised. However, said light driving pipes (264.11) can project into other directions of projection as said light driving pipe (264.8) concerned. This depends entirely on ground floor topology (264.13, 264.12) and on customer design requirements.
Said light driving pipe (264.8) hence drives the light rays (264.9) across a pipe (264.8) on the on shore system (264.12) in order to drive said rays (264.9) in parallel to said light driving pipes (264.11) towards the heat exchanger system (264.3) concerned. Supporting members (264.19) are present to support said off shore light driving pipe (264.18) on the sea or river bed (264.23), as required. The supporting members (264.10) are also comprised to support said light driving pipe (264.8), which drives the light rays (264.9) straight into on shore terrain (264.13). The pipe (264.8) hence passes into said light ray collection system (264.12) in parallel to the light driving pipes (264.11) before reaching the heat exchanger system (264.3) comprised. The light driving pipes (264.11) of said system (264.12) concerned, are all comprised on shore (264.13), and collect (264.11) and drive (264.11) the light rays through perpendicularly projecting pipes (264.6). Said pipes (264.6) drive said light rays to a point of projection in front of a free space on said heat exchanger system (264.3) comprised. Once reaching that point, said light rays are driven across parallel projecting (264.7) light driving pipes (264.7) towards the side wall (264.3) of the heat exchanger system (264.3) being comprised. On the other side surface (264.3) of said heat exchanger system (264.3) comprised, there is plenty of space for other light driving pipes (264.1) to drive the light rays (264.2) to said side wall (264.3) of said heat exchanger system (264.3) comprised.
Said heat exchanger system (264.3) is hence supplied with the light ray heat (264.9, 264.2) of the other pipe (264.1) coming from another solar ray collection system, the off shore collected light driving pipe (264.8) and said light driving pipes (264.7) from said on shore (264.13) comprised light ray collection system (264.12) being comprised. So, said heat exchanger system (264.3) takes as many light rays (264.2, 264.9) from as many pipes (264.1, 264.8,264.7) from around said system (264.3), hence maximising the use of the system (264.3) by using both sides (264.3) of said heat exchanger system (264.3) as light ray collecting planes simultaneously. This results in a supper efficient heat exchanger system (264.3), which needs minimal size and costs, and its temperature transfer would maximise its power generation efficiency. Also, only one heat exchanger system (264.3) would be required for all systems (264.12,264.36), both on shore (264.12) and off shore (264.36) to supply the light rays (264.2, 264.9) to the required heat exchanger system (264.3), as required. Said heat exchanger system (264.3) collects the light rays (264.2, 264.9) from both of its sides (264.3), and supplies the collected light ray (264.2, 264.9) heat (264.3) to the fluid pipes being driven into said heat exchanger system (264.3) concerned. So, said heat exchanger system (264.3) drives the heat to the fluid driving pipe, which drives a steam turbine (264.4). Said steam turbine (264.4) in turn drives a generator set (264.5) using the mechanical work generated by said steam turbine (264.4).
Said generator set (264.5), generates the required electrical current to supply both the power generation systems (264.12, 264.36) and the surrounding population, with very cheap renewable energy to the houses, as required.
The heat exchanger system (265.3) can comprise space on both of its sides (265.3) in order to accommodate the light rays (265.2) of the light driving pipes (265.1) of other solar ray collection systems on one side (265.3). The other sides (265.3) can be used for said light driving pipes (265.4) to supply the light rays of said light driving pipes (265.5, 265.7) into said heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned. So, light driving pipes (25.1) of other solar ray collection systems (265.1), can transfer the light rays (265.2) to the heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned on one of its sides (265.3). This maximises heat exchanger practicability (265.3), and hence heat exchanger (265.3) efficiency (265.3), hence meaning that only said heat exchanger (265.3) is required for the systems in question. In the case of this system (265.6) said light rays (265.21) come from an off shore (265.20) comprised (265.25) solar ray collection system (265.25), which concentrates all light rays by a concave mirror (265.22), and drives said light rays via an off shore pipe (265.23). Said off shore pipe (265.23) drives the light rays (265.21) into the on shore (265.10) coast, and hence into the on shore (265.8) comprised system (265.6). Said pipe (265.13) drives said light rays (265.9) into the light driving pipe start (265.11) of said system. So, said light driving pipe (265.11) starts (265.11) by driving said light rays (265.9) into said piping structure (265.11), hence using the same light driving minors until reaching the heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned. This system is good to collect light rays from another solar ray collection system (265.25), as it reduces the amount of piping (265.13) required to be built for said light rays (265.9). When said light rays (265.9) reach the on shore (265.8) comprised terrain (265.6), the pipe (265.13) drives said rays (265.9) to said light driving pipe (265.11), and hence towards the heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned. However, the use of the same mirrors in the light driving pipe (265.11) might generate a few light ray losses (265.9) to the light rays (265.9) being driven into said light driving pipe (265.11) to the heat exchanger system (265.3) comprised.
The use of said system comprised (265.6), using the light driving pipe (265.5) as a means to drive the light rays (265.9) into a light driving medium (265.11) until reaching said heat exchanger system (265.3), is a matter of choice, money availability and design option according to the customer requirements concerned. The light driving pipes (26526) of the off shore (265.20) comprised (265.25) system project in parallel and into the same direction of projection as the light driving pipes (265.5, 265.7) on the on shore (265.8) comprised system (265.6) for this particular case. However, said system (265.6) can be oriented as required, according to ground floor topology (265.8) and design requirements, such that by the means of flat reflection mirrors (265.14, 265.19), said light rays (265.9) can enter into said light driving pipe structure (265.11), even when said pipe (265.11) is oriented towards any un parallel direction to that comprised by the off shore light driving pipes (265.26) concerned. So, said light driving pipe (265.11) collects said light rays (265.9) and drives these rays (265.9) into said pipe (265.5) until reaching the final light driving pipe (265.4), which projects directly with the light rays (265.9) to the side of the heat exchanger system (265.3) comprised. The light ray heat (265.9) is hence transferred to the fluid driving pipes that flow through the heat exchanger system (265.3) comprised.
The off shore comprised (265.25) system, comprises the off shore (265.20) system (265.25), which comprises the light driving pipes (265.26) comprised on the upper surface of said off shore system (265.26). Said light driving pipes (265.26), drives the light rays by flat reflection mirrors to the parallel projecting light driving pipes (265.24). The light driving pipes (265.24) project directly towards the surface of the concave mirror (265.22). So, the parallel projecting light driving pipes (265.24), drive the light rays directly towards the surface of the concave mirror (265.22) comprised. Said concave mirror (265.22) concentrates and drives (265.24) said light rays to a convex mirror (265.15) comprised. Said convex mirror (265.15) drives said light rays into a light driving pipe (265.17) to a vertically projecting pipe. Said pipe drives said light rays into an off shore pipe (265.23) comprised under the water surface (265.20), hence being driven (265.23) along the river or sea bed. The off shore pipe (265.23) is driven to another vertical pipe. Said vertical pipe drives said light rays (265.21) on shore (265.10), such that said rays (265.21) cross the on shore surface (265.10) line. So, said light rays (265.21) are driven into a pipe (265.18) on shore (265.8), hence entering (265.21) into the on shore terrain (265.8).
Flat reflection mirrors (265.14,265.19) drive and reflect the incoming light rays (265.21,265.9), such that said rays (265.21, 265.9) are driven into a light driving pipe (265.13). Said light driving pipe (265.13) drives said light rays (265.9) into the starting area (265.11) of a light driving pipe structure (265.5). Said light driving pipe (265.13) projects directly towards the rear area (265.12) of the start (265.11) of the light driving pipe (265.5) concerned. So, said light driving pipe (265.13) drives said light rays (265.9) into the light driving start area (265.11). Said area (265.11) drives the light rays (265.9) into the light driving pipe (265.5) comprised into said pipe (265.5) concerned. The light rays (265.9) enter into the system (265.6) of solar ray collection light rays (265.5, 265.7). Both light driving pipes (265.5, 265.7) drive the collected light rays through the light diving pipes (265.5, 265.7) of said system (265.6) towards the heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned. Said light driving pipes (265.5, 265.7) are driven into the parallel projecting light driving pipes (265.4). Said light driving pipes (265.4) project in parallel to each other (265.4), and project directly towards a side of the heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned. Said light driving pipes (265.4) hence project in parallel to each other (265.4), hence driving the light rays (265.9) towards the heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned.
The heat exchanger system concerned (265.3), comprises the light rays (265.2) of a light driving pipe (265.1) from another solar light ray collection system, which drives said light rays (265.2) to the heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned. Simultaneously, the light rays (265.9) of said light driving pipes (265.5, 265.7), are driven through said parallel projecting pipes (265.4) to said heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned. So, the efficiency of said heat exchanger (265.3) is maximised, and the minimum number of heat exchangers (265.3) is therefore required. A plurality of light driving pipes (265.5, 265.7) can be comprised on said on shore (265.8) comprised (265.6) system. Said plurality (265.5, 265.7) of light driving pipes (265.5, 265.7), are driven towards said heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned, by said plurality of light driving pipes (265.4) in question. So, given the free space on the side (265.3) of said heat exchanger system (265.3), a plurality of pipes (265.4) can transfer the light ray (265.9) heat to the heat exchanger system (265.3) concerned. Sustaining members (26116), sustain the on shore (265.8) comprised light driving pipe (265.13), which enters into said on shore solar light ray collection system (265.6) concerned. The rear area (265.12) of said light driving pipe (265.11), ensures that said pipe (265.5) is sealed from any unwanted matter from entering into said pipe (265.11) at the back (265.11). So, said member (265.12) seal said light driving pipe (265.11) at the back from any outer environmental matter, and only allows the intake of said light driving pipe (265.13) into the light driving pipe (265.11) concerned. Said pipe (265.13) enters the light driving pipe (265.11) through said member (265.12) into the light driving pipe (265.11), with the required light rays (265.9) concerned.
The light driving pipes (266.2) of the on shore system (266.1), drive the light rays towards said heat exchanger system (266.6). This is done by driving said light rays through perpendicular light driving pipes (266.5) before driving said light rays through parallel projecting light driving pipes (266.3) towards the heat exchanger system (266.6) concerned. In this case, said heat exchanger system (266.6) is comprised just at the edge of the shore surface (266.7), but on the shore side (266.4) into said light ray collection system (266.1) comprised. The advantage of said design (266.6), is that the piping for said off shore (266.18) light rays (266.18) will be much less in terms of length, as said heat exchanger system (266.6) is comprised just at the edge of the off shore line (266.7), but on the shore terrain (266.4) concerned. So, the piping length (266.18) of the off shore system (266.29) is reduced to the minimum. So, said pipes (266.28, 266.2) of both light ray collection systems (266.1, 266.29) will be able to be driven to said heat exchanger system (266.6), while saving as much piping construction (266.18) costs as required, hence making said system a more cheap option. Also, the use of said heat exchanger allows other pipes (266.1) to drive its light rays (266.11) from other solar ray collection systems, into said heat exchanger system concerned (266.6).
Given that said side (266.6) where said pipe (266.12) drives its light rays (266.1) towards said exchanger (266.6) is only occupied by a single light driving pipe (266.18), other pipes (266.12) can enjoy said space (266.6) to project the light rays (266.11) into the heat exchanger system (266.6) concerned. The light driving pipes (266.28) of the off shore (266.29) comprised (266.10) system, are all concentrated by a concave mirror (266.15) after said light rays (266.25) are projected from pipes (266.26) projecting in parallel to each other towards said concave mirror (266.15). So, said convex mirror (266.24) drives a single beam light ray (266.23), in a coherent and single light ray manner (266.23), into an off shore pipe (266.22), which then results in said single pipe (266.18) projecting as a single light ray beam (266.23) to the side walls of said heat exchanger system (266.6) comprised. Due to the position of said heat exchanger system (266.6) concerned, said light driving pipes (266.2, 266_28) can projeut into each other (266.2, 266.28), hence avoiding the use of unnecessary piping (266.18) being constructed, hence saving costs. The control computer coordinates both sides (266.2, 266.28) separately, such that the mirrors of both sides (266.2, 266.28) are oriented separately according to the direction of projection of the light rays received from the sun by said light driving pipes (266.2,266.28). As said heat exchanger system (266.6) is comprised along the off shore surface line (266.7), said on shore (266.1) comprised light driving pipes (266.2), are comprised behind said heat exchanger system (266.6), comprised to the off shore (266.29) light driving pipes (266.28), which are hence comprised just in front of the heat exchanger system (266.6i comprised.
The heat exchanger system (266.6) can hence be comprised in the middle of the two systems (266.1, 266.29) comprised, such that the heat exchanger system (266.6) is comprised in order to collect the light rays driven by the light driving pipes (266.2, 266.28) simultaneously from one side (266.6) as from the other (266.6) from said heat exchanger system (266.6). Said system (266.6) hence minimises the amount of piping (266.18) required to be built (266.18) and operating as a single heat exchanger system (266.6) for not only the two system shown (266.1, 266.29), but also for the light driving pipes (266.12) of other systems comprised. This results in a supper efficient, but single piece heat exchanger system (266.6). The orientation of said light driving pipes (266.2. 266.28) is opposite to each other for this case. However any orientation is possible between the two system's (266.1, 266.29) light driving pipes (266.2, 266.28), as long as said heat exchanger system (266.6) remains into the central area (266.6) of the system (266.6), in order to collect the light rays of the light driving pipes (266.2, 266.28) from both sides of said system concerned. But the orientation can be into any direction from light driving pipe (266.2) to light driving pipe (266.28), no matter on one (266.4) on shore side (266.1) as on the off shore (266.10) side (266.29) concerned, with control computers controlling both sides (266.2, 266.28) independently. Flat reflection mirrors drive said light rays from one side (266.1) or the other (266.29) into one of the sides (266.6) of the heat exchanger system (266.6) concerned. The use of a single light driving pipe (266.18) allows the off shore side (266.6) of said heat exchanger system (266.6) concerned, to collect the light rays (266.11) of other light driving pipes (266.12) of other systems concerned.
The off shore light ray collection system (266.29) comprises a set of rigid metallic cables (266.30), which are sustained to the sustaining positions (266.31) at the sea or river bed (266.10), hence making of said system (266_29) and off shore system (266.29). The light driving pipes (266.28) of said off shore system (266.29), drive the light rays through perpendicular projecting pipes (266.27). Said pipes (266.27) are used to align said light rays (266.27) to the required position of projection. So, when said light rays (266 27) project in front of the concave mirror surface (266.15), said light driving pipe (266.26) project in parallel to other light driving pipes (266.26), towards said concave mirror (266.15). Hence, said pipe (26.26) drives the light rays (266.26) into the closed field (266.16). Said concave (266.15) and convex (266.24) mirrors are comprised inside said closed and sealed (266.16) member, in order to avoid any unwanted matter from the outer environment, to be enclosed on said mirrors (266.15,266.24) inside said field (266.16). So, said light driving pipes (266.26) drive said light rays (266.25) in parallel to the other light driving pipes (266.26), to the surface of the concave minor (266.15) in question. Said concave mirror (266.15) concentrates said light rays (266.14) towards a convex mirror (266.24), which is also comprised inside said closed and sealed field (266.16). Said convex mirror (266.24) drives said light rays (266.23) as a single light ray (266.23) coherent beam (266.23), to a vertical off shore (266.10) light driving pipe (266.22). Said pipe (266.22) drives said single light ray beam (266.23), vertically downwards into the off shore pipe (266.20).
Said pipe (266.22) drives the light rays (266.23) into an off shore (266.10) pipe (266.20), along the sea or river bed (266.10). The sustaining members (266.21) sustain said pipe (266.20) to the river or sea bed (266.10) concerned. The off shore pipe (266.10) drives said light rays (266.23) to another vertical pipe (266.17), which drives said light rays to a light driving pipe (266.18). Said light driving pipe (266.18) passes with said light rays (266.23) over the shore surface line (266.7), and hence brings the light rays (266.23) into the on shore terrain (266.4), and into the other system (266.1) concerned. So, said light driving pipe (266.18) drives said light rays (266.23) to one side of the heat exchanger system (266.6) comprised. Sustaining members (266.19), sustain said light driving pipe (266.18) rigidly into position on the on shore (266.4) terrain, up to said heat exchanger system (266.6) concerned. As said light driving pipe (266.18) projects with all light rays concerned by said concave mirror (266.15) as a single beam (266.23) light my (266.23), towards said heat exchanger system (266.6) concerned. So, other light driving pipes (266.12) can use the space (266.6) available on said side (266.6) to drive the light rays (266.11) from other light ray collection systems, into said heat exchanger (266.6). The light driving pipe (266.12) can comprise flat reflection mirrors (266.13) to drive said light rays (266.11) into the heat exchanger.
The light driving pipes (266.2) of the on shore (266.1) light ray collection system (266.1), can drive the light rays to parallel projecting light driving pipes (266.3). The perpendicular light driving pipes (266.5) drive said light rays to the point of projection of said parallel projecting light driving pipes (266.3). Said pipes (266.3) project towards the other side (266.6) of the heat exchanger system (266.6) comprised. Said light driving pipes (266.3) drive the light rays straight to the side (266_6) of the heat exchanger system (266.6). Each light driving pipe (266.2) can comprise a perpendicular pipe (266.5) and a parallel projecting light driving pipe (266.3), as required to drive said light rays from said light driving pipe (266.2) to said heat exchanger system (266.6) concerned. However, the use of a concave mirror (266.15) is another option, in order for a single light ray (266.23) to be driven to said heat exchanger system (266.6), hence maximising free space on the side (266.6) of the heat exchanger system (266.6) comprised, for other light driving pipes (266.12) to project its light rays (266.11). The light rays (266.11,266.23) are all driven by said light driving pipes (266.3, 266.18, 266.12) to said heat exchanger system (266.6), together and simultaneously. So, said heat exchanger (266.6) collects the heat from said light rays (266.11,266.23) simultaneously, and transfers it to the fluid driving pipes that flow through said heat exchanger system (266.6). So, said pipe drives a steam turbine (266.8). The mechanical work generated by said steam turbine (266.8) drives a generator set (266.9). Said generator set (266.9) generates the required current for all surrounding power applications, as required.
Said heat exchanger system (267.22) can also be comprised on the off shore (267.15) comprised (267.28) solar light ray collection system (267.28). This means that said off shore (267.15) comprised (267.28) light driving pipes (267.27) would transfer the light rays via light driving pipes (267.23) to the outer walls (267.22) of said heat exchanger system (267.22) concerned. The light rays of the on shore (267.7) system (267.2) comprises light driving pipes (267.1), which will have to be concentrated at said on shore (267.7) system (267.2) by a concave mirror (267.10). So, said concave mirror (267.10) collects the light rays driven by said light driving pipes (267.4) to said surface (267.10) of the concave mirror (267.10) after light ray collection into said pipes (267.1). Said light driving pipes (267.4) would drive said light rays (267.6) to the surface (267.10), which would drive said light rays (267.8) to a convex mirror (267.5). Said convex mirror (267.5) is comprised inside a closed casing (267.16) with said concave mirror (267.10) to avoid any outer contamination of said structures (267.5, 267.10). Said concave mirror (267.5) would hence drive said light rays (267.11) in a single pipe beam (267.11) and coherently projecting (267.11), into a pipe (267.13) which drives said light rays (267.11) off shore (267.15). Said off shore pipe (267.17) hence drives said light rays (267.21) along the river or sea bed (267.15), until being driven by said pipe (267.18) again put of the water surface (267.15).
So, said light rays (267.11) are driven towards the other side (267.22) of the heat exchanger system (267.22) concerned. Said system can work, but should however include a lateral current carrying cable (267.25), which is driven from the generator set (267.24) driven by the steam turbine, onto the off shore (267.15) territory. So, said electrical cable (267.26) travels off shore (267_15), and then on shore (267.7), such that said cable (267.3) is driven towards the surrounding positions. Said positions, need the supply of electricity by said cable (267.3) from the off shore (267.15) comprised (267.28) generator set (267.24) concerned. The orientation of the light driving pipes (267.1, 267.27) of both on shore (267.2) and off shore (267.28) systems, are comprised projecting opposite to each other (267.1, 267.27), and hence in front of each other (267.1, 267.27). Said heat exchanger system (267.22) is comprised between the two systems (267.2, 267.28) of on shore (267.2) light driving pipes (267.1) and the off shore (267.28) light driving pipes (267.27) concerned. However, said orientation between said systems (267.2, 267.28) and said light driving pipes (267.1, 267.27), can comprise differences on any directions of projection possible, as long as said heat exchanger system (267.22) is comprised approximately in the middle (267.22) to collect the light rays (267.11) heat from both systems simultaneously. The computer systems control both sides (267.1, 267.27) simultaneously, without any matter of the orientation of each light driving pipe (267.1, 267.27) concerned off shore (267.27) and on shore (267.1). However, said system (267.22) would be less practical due to the system comprising the heat exchanger (267.22) and generator set (267.24) off shore (267.28), due to the fact that a cable (267_25, 267.26, 267.3) has to be driven off shore (267.26) and then on shore (267.3) again from the off shore (267.28) system. This is because said cable (267.25, 267.26, 267.3) has to be driven on shore (267.3) in order to feed the required communities with the power generated by said heat exchanger (267.22) and generator set (267.24) concerned. So, unless an off shore structure needs the power supply, an on shore comprised (267.7) power generating station (267.22, 267.24), with an on shore (267.7) heat exchanger system (267.22), is more economically realistic.
The light driving pipes (267.1) comprised on the on shore (267.7) system (267.2), drive the light rays to the light driving pipes (267.4), which project directly towards the surface (267.10) of the concave mirror (267.10) concerned. The light driving pipes (267_4), drive said light rays in parallel to each other (267.4) towards the concave mirror (267.10) concerned. So, said pipes (267.4) drive the light rays (267.6) in parallel (267.6) and coherently (267.6) to the surface (267.10) of the concave mirror (267.10) comprised. Each pipe (267/4) projects in a separate position (267.4), such that all pipes (267.4) comprised, can drive the light rays (267.6) to the concave mirror (267.10) comprised. The concave mirror (267.10) reflects and drives (267.10) said light rays (267.8) to a convex mirror (267.5). Said concave mirror (267.5) drives the light rays (267.11) in a single light ray (267.11) beam (267.11), and into a coherent manner (267.11), towards a light driving pipe (267.13). Said light driving pipe (267.13), drives said single beam (267.11) light rays (26.11) to a vertically projecting pipe (267.14). Sustaining members (267.12) are comprised in order to keep said light driving pipe (267.13) fixed and into position to said on shore (267.7) terrain, when projecting away from said convex mirror (267.5) concerned. A sealed member (267.16) is comprised in order to keep the concave mirror (267.10) and the convex mirror (267.5) out of reach from the outer public. Said sealed and closed surface (267.16) comprises a box shaped (267.16) structure, which keeps closed and sealed (267.16) said concave (267.10) and convex (267.5) mirrors comprised. So, no outer environmental matter can be deposited on said surfaces (267.10, 267.5) of said concave (267.10) and convex (267.5) mirrors. Also, no outer public member, weather a person or other types of individual, can enter into said sealed member structure (267.16). This minimises maintenance costs of the mirrors (267.10, 267.5) comprised inside said sealed member (267.16), as well as maximising the safety of the outer public comprised.
The light rays (267.11) are driven by said light driving pipe (267.13) into the vertically projecting pipe (267.14). This means that said light rays (267.11) pass from the on shore terrain (267.7) to the off shore terrain (267.15), by passing over the off shore surface line (267.9) into said light driving pipe (267.13) concerned. Said vertical pipe (267.14) drives said light rays (267.21) into an off shore (267.17) light driving pipe (267.17). Sustaining members (267.19) are present to sustaining said off shore (267.17) light driving pipe (267.17) to the off shore (267.15) comprised (267.15) sea or river bed (267.15) concerned. The light rays (267.21) are driven to a vertically projecting pipe (267.18), which drives said light rays (267.21) out of the water surface (267.15). So, said light rays are driven by said light driving pipe (267.20) to said heat exchanger system (267.22). Said pipe (267.20) is driven to the side (267.22) of said heat exchanger system (267.22) comprised. On the off shore (267.15) side (267.28), said light driving pipes (267.27) drive the light rays to a position of projection (267.23), comprised in front of the other side of the heat exchanger system (267.22) comprised. So, said light driving pipes (26723) drive said light rays to the other side surface (267.22) of the heat exchanger system (267/2) comprised. This is done once said light driving pipes (267.27) get to the required point of projection, in front of said side (267.22) of said heat exchanger system (267.22) concerned.
The off shore (267.15) comprised (267.28) system (267.28) is sustained to the river or sea bed sustaining members (267.29) on the off shore terrain (267.15) by rigid metallic cables (267.30). Said structures (267.30), sustaining said system (267.29) to the lower off shore (267.15) members (267/9), are comprised all-around said system (267.28) concerned. Said heat exchanger system (267.22) collects the light ray (267.21) heat simultaneously from the light driving pipes (267.20, 267.23), comprised on both sides (267.22) of said heat exchanger system (267.22) simultaneously. Said heat exchanger system (267.22) hence transfers the collected light ray (267.21) heat to drive a steam turbine, which in turn drives a generator set (267.24). Said generator set (267.24) connects to an electrical cable (267.25), which is driven off shore (267.26). Said cable (267.26) is driven under the water surface (267.15) until reaching the on shore surface (267S). Said cable (267.3) then travels from said point (267.9) on the on shore surface terrain (267.7), as an electrical cable (267.3), laterally to the on shore (267.7) light ray collecting system (267.2) system, towards the national grid system. Said cable (267.3) can hence supply the power demanding communities on shore (267.7) with the required electrical current from the system (267.22, 267.24), as required.
The light driving pipes (268.1,268.25) of both on shore (268.2) and off shore (268.26) systems, can project in parallel to (268.2, 268/6) and into the same direction of projection as each other (268.1,268.25). This is because the light driving pipes (268.1) of the on shore (268.2) system are concentrated by a concave mirror (268.10) prior of being driven (268.14) off shore (268.19). So, when said light rays (268_14) are driven off shore (268.19), said dingle light ray beam (268.14) is driven off shore (268.15) through a pipe under the water surface (268.1), and then on the off shore (268.26) system again. So, said light driving pipe (268.16), drives said light rays (268.17) by the means of flat reflection mirrors (268.18,268.21) into thc required position of projection. So, said last mirror (268.21) drives said light rays (268.23) into the off shore light ray collection system (268.26), through a light driving pipe (268.22). Said light driving pipe (268.22) drives said light rays (268.23) to the heat exchanger system (268.29). Said heat exchanger system (268.29) is in this case comprised at the end of said off shore (268.26) system, such that said light rays (268.23) project in parallel to the other light driving pipes (268.28), into said pipe (268.22) to the same side (268.29) of the heat exchanger system (268.29) concerned.
Said light rays (268.23) project through said pipe (268.22) coherently (268.23) as a single light ray beam (268.23), and in parallel to the light driving pipes (268.25) of the solar ray collection system (268.26) comprised. Said solar ray collection system (268.26) is comprised off shore (268.13). Said light rays (268.23) project through the light driving pipe (268.22) of the off shore system (268.26) concerned, towards the heat exchanger system (268.29) comprised. The orientation of the system can be any between said light driving pipes (268.1, 268.25) and said system (268.2, 268.26) orientations and set ups, as said computer systems control all of the mirrors comprised in both systems (268.2, 268.26), without any matter on the orientation of each of said light driving pipes (268.1, 268.25) concerned. As in the previously described case, an electrical cable (268.32) travels from said generator set (268.31), travelling on the off shore system (268.26), then off shore (268.24), and finally on the on shore tenain (268.6) as an electrical cable (268.3). Said cable (268.3) supplies with electrical power, the national grid and any communities around the area, which require it.
The light rays of the driving pipe (268.1) on the on shore (268.6) comprised system (268.2), are being collected by the solar ray collection system (268.2) comprised. Sc, the light driving pipes (268.1) drive the light rays to a piping structure (268.4), which projects in parallel to other piping structures (268.4) towards the surface of a concave mirror (268.10). Each light driving pipe (268.1) can comprise said parallel projecting pipe structure (268.4) in front of said concave mirror (268.10). So, said piping structure (268.4) drives the light rays (268.7) in parallel to each other (268.7) to the surface of said concave mirror (268.10) comprised. Said concave mirror (268.10) reflects and drives (268.10) said light rays (268.9) to a convex mirror (268.5). Said convex mirror (268.5) is comprised between two light ray (268.7) projecting paths (268.7). Said convex mirror (268.5) reflects and drives (268.5) said light rays as a single beam light ray (268.14) in a coherent manner (268.14). Said light ray beam (268.14) is hence driven into a light driving pipe (268.12) from the on shore terrain (268.6) onto the off shore terrain (268.13), by passing over the off shore line surface (268.8) comprised. Said pipe (268.12) hence drives said light rays (268.14) over the costal surface (268.8) into the off shore terrain (268.13), where said light rays (268.14) are driven to a vertically projecting pipe (268.19). Said vertical pipe structure (268.19) drives the light rays (268.14) into the water surface. Said concave (268.10) and convex (268.5) mirrors are housed inside a box shaped (268.11) closed and sealed (268.11) member (268.11). Said member (268.11) protects the surfaces of said concave (268.10) and convex (268.5) mirrors from the outer public, hence minimising maintenance costs, as well as guaranteeing maximum safety to the outer public concerned.
The vertically projecting pipe (268.19) hence drives said light rays (268.14) off shore (268.13) into an off shore light driving pipe (268.15). Said pipe (268.15) drives the light rays (268.14) to the other vertically projecting pipe (268.20), which is comprised at the off shore (268.26) system's surface (268.26). Said vertical pipe (268.20) drives said light rays (268.14) into a horizontally projecting pipe (268.16), which is driven along the surface (268.26) of said off shore system (268.26) comprised. The light driving pipe (268.16) drives said light rays (268.14) to a set of flat reflection mirrors (268.18, 268.21), which drive said light rays (268.17) into the required point (268.17) of projection (268.17). So, said final light reflection mirror (268.21), drives said light rays (268.17) into the required position (268.17) of projection (268.17). So, said last flat mirror (268.21) drives the light rays (268.23) into a light driving pipe (268.22). Said light driving pipe (268.22) projects into the same direction of projection and in parallel to said light driving pipes (268.25) comprised adjacent to it (268.22) on the off shore system (268.26). The light driving pipe (268.22) hence drives the light rays (268.23) adjacent to said light driving pipes (268.25), into the same direction of projection, towards the heat exchanger system (268.29) concerned. Said light driving pipes (268.25) of said off shore system (268.26), drive said light rays to the light driving pipes (268.28), which drive said light rays to the side (268.29) of the heat exchanger system (268.29) concerned. Both of said light driving pipes (268.22) and said parallel projecting light driving pipes (268.28), project said light rays (268.23) towards the same side (268.29) of the heat exchanger system (268.29) concerned. The light driving pipe (268.22) comes from the light rays (268.1) of the on shore system (268.2), while the parallel projecting (268.28) light driving pipes (268.28) come each (268.28) from one of the light driving pipes (268.25), comprised on the off shore (268.13) light ray collection system (268.26) concerned.
The heat exchanger system (268.29) collects the light ray (268.23) heat from said parallel projecting light driving pipes (268.22, 268.28) together and simultaneously (268.29). So, said heat exchanger system (268.29) drives said heat to the two pipes which cross through said heat exchanger system (268.29) together and simultaneously (268.29). So, part of the heat from said light rays (268.23) goes to the energy storage fluid tank (268.33), which is used as a heat supply source (268.33) to supply heat from said light rays (268.23) for night or low light hours. The other part of said heat from said light rays (268.23) goes to the fluid driving pipe, which drives a steam turbine (268.30) with the heat of the light rays (268.23) concerned. Said steam turbine (268.30) drives, with its generated mechanical work (268.30), a generator set (268.31). Said generator set (268.31) connects to an electrical cable (268.32), which drives the required generated electrical current (268.32) by said generator set (268.31), onto the surface of said off shore (268.32) comprised light ray collection system (268.26). Said cable (268.32) is driven off shore (268.24) under the water surface (268.13), and then on shore (268.6) again. So, said electrical cable (268.3) is finally driven on the on shore terrain (268.6) as an electrical cable (268.3) after passing the on shore coast line (268.8). The cable (268.3) is hence driven on shore (268.6), laterally and adjacently to the on shore (268.6) comprised light ray collection system (268.2), to the national grid installations and any surrounding living communities which require the electrical power generated by said generator set (268.31). The cable (268.3) supplies the required power for the living needs and requirements of said communities concerned. Sustaining members (268.27) can be comprised to sustain said light driving pipe (268.22) rigidly to the floor of the off shore (268.13) light ray collection system (268.26) comprised. Said light driving pipe (268.22) projects adjacently and in parallel to said light driving pipes (268.25) comprised in the off shore (268.6) light ray collection system (268.26) concerned.
The light driving pipe (269.1, 269.16) on both on shore (269.2) and off shore (269.17) systems, can comprise the light rays of the on shore (269.2) system being concentrated by a concave mirror, and then driven to the off shore system (269.17). In the off shore system (269.17), for this case (269.17), said light driving pipe (269.13) can be driven by flat reflection mirrors (269.11, 269.14) to the required position of projection (269.10). So, said light driving pipe (269.10) drives the light rays (269.8) from the last mirror (269.11) straight into the starting area (269.9) of a light driving pipe (269.9). For this case's system (269.9), said light rays (269.8) are allowed to be driven straight into the starting area (269.9) of a light driving pipe (269.9) of the present system (269.17) concerned. The advantage of said system (269.9) is that this reduces the amount of piping required to be built for said light rays (269.8) along said off shore (269.6) system (269.17) until said heat exchanger system (269.19). This is done by incorporating said light rays (269.8) into the light driving pipe (269.9) concerned. Another advantage is that said system also opens more space for said light driving pipes (269.18) to project with as much space as required, into said heat exchanger system (269.19). Said advantage is due to the fact that said light driving pipes (269.18) don't have other light driving pipes comprised on the projecting path of said pipes (269.18), hence giving more space to said parallel projecting light driving pipes (269.18). However, the fact that said light rays (269.8) are driven through the starting area (269.9) of said light driving pipe (269.9), means that said light rays (269.8) will be driven across all the mirrors comprised into said light driving pipe (269.9). This happens until reaching said final parallel projecting pipe (269.18), which will drive said light rays (269.8) in parallel to other light driving pipes (269.18) to said heat exchanger system (269.19) concerned. This hence means that said light rays (269.8) may lose some of their strength due to the number of mirrors used, hence reducing the efficiency of the light ray collection system (269.2, 269.17) comprised, when being driven into said light driving pipe (269.9) concerned. So, depending on advantages and disadvantages, the design of the system (269.2, 269.17), the light driving pipe set up (269.1, 269.16), the set up (269.2, 269.17) and the directions of projection (269.1,269.16) of aid systems (269.2, 269.17), depend entirely on ground floor design and topology for the terrain concerned and customer design requirements.
The light driving pipes (269.1) on the on shore (269.4) comprised light ray collection system (269.2), drive the light rays to the surface of a concave mirror. Said mirror concentrates the plurality of light driving pipes comprised, such that a convex mirror drives a single beam coherently projecting light ray from the on shore terrain (269.4) into the off shore terrain (269.6) by crossing the off shore frontier line (269.5) comprised. Said light rays are hence driven into an off shore pipe (269.12). Said off shore pipe (269.12) is comprised off shore (269.6) after passing across the coast line frontier (269.5). Said off shore pipe (269.12) is driven across the sea or river bed until reaching the off shore (269.6) system (269.17). At said system (269.17), said light rays are driven across a light driving pipe (269.13) across the upper surface of said off shore (269.6) system (269.17), to a set of flat reflection minors (269.11, 269.14). Said flat reflection mirrors (269.11,269.14) are comprised into said light driving pipe (269.13), and drive said light rays (269.8) into the required position of projection (269.10). So, the light rays (269.8) of the light driving pipe (269.10), are driven by said final flat mirror (269.11), in a straight line into said light driving pipe (269.10). Said light driving pipe (269.10) drives said light rays (269.8) through the sealing member (269.7) of the starting area (269.9) of a light driving pipe (269.9).
The sealing member (269.7) is there to seal off said light driving pipe (269.9) from any unwanted outer public or environmental things that could damage said instruments inside said pipe (269.9) or increase its maintenance costs (269.9). Said sealing member (269.7) also maximises outer public safety by sealing said light driving pipe (269.9), to all but the light driving pipe (269.10) which drives said light rays (269.8) into said light driving pipe (269.9) concerned. So, said light rays (269.8) are driven by said mirror (269.11) into said light driving pipe (269.10), through the scaled member (269.7), such that the light rays (269.8) end up into the starting area of a light driving pipe (269.9). Said light driving pipe (269.9) is comprised into the off shore (269.6) light ray collection system (269.17) concerned. Said light driving pipe (269.9) drives the light rays across the minors of said light driving pipe (269.9) concerned. Said light driving pipe (269.9), drives said light rays, along with said other parallel projecting light driving pipe (269.16) members of said off shore system (269.17). Said pipes (269.6, 269.16) project into the same direction of projection (269.6, 269.16), and in parallel to each other (269.6,269.16), towards said heat exchanger system (269.19) concerned. So, near to said heat exchanger system (269.19), said light driving pipes (269.9, 269.16) are driven into small and parallel projecting light driving pipes (269.18), which drive the light rays (269.8) of said pipes (269.18) together (269.18) and in parallel to each other (269.18) into one side (269.19) of the heat exchanger system (269.19) concerned.
The light ray heat (269.8) is collected from the side of said heat exchanger system (269.19), and is transferred by said heat exchanger (269.19) to the pipes which are driven across said heat exchanger system (269.19). The fluid driving pipe drives a steam turbine (269.20) with the heat transferred from said heat exchanger system (269.19). Said steam turbine (269.20) drives in turn a generator set (269.22). Said generator set (269.22) generates the required electrical current, which it (269.22) then transfers to an electrical cable (269.21) that connects to the generator set (269.22) concerned. Said cable (269.21) is driven across the surface of said off shore (269.6) system (269.17) until reaching the water surface (269.6). The cable crosses the off shore (269.6) terrain as an off shore electrical cable (269.15). Once reaching the on shore line (2695). said electrical cable (269.3) is driven on the on shore terrain (269.4), and adjacently to said on shore (269.4) light ray collection system (269.2), into its own path. Said cable (269.3) is hence driven into its own path on shore (269.4) to supply the national grid and any surrounding communities, with the required power that is requested by them for household use.
The light driving pipes (270.11, 270.27) can be both comprised on shoie, such that said light collecting system (270.12, 270.28) set ups (270.12, 270.28), can be comprised projecting into the same direction of projection as each other (270.11, 270.27) and in parallel to each other (270.11, 270.27). However, the orientations and directions of projection of each of said light driving pipes (270.11, 270.27) and system set ups (270.12, 270.28) can be of any type. Said lower (270.28) or upper (270.12) systems can project perpendicularly (270.11, 270.27) to each other as light driving pipes (270.11, 270.27) or opposite to each other (270.11, 270.27) as light driving pipes (270.11, 270.27), as required. In this ease, the light driving pipe (270.8) drives said light rays (270.9) across the upper system (270.12) to a side (270.3) of the heat exchanger system (270.3) concerned. The same side (270.3) is used to simultaneously receive the projected light rays (270.7), coming from pipes (270.7) which come from the light driving pipes (270.11) of said system (270.12) concerned. On the other side (270.3) of the heat exchanger (270.3) system, other light driving pipes (270.1) can drive the light rays (270.2) from other solar ray collection systems comprised, into the heat exchanger system (270.3) concerned. So, said heat exchanger system (270.3) collects the light ray (270.9,270.2) heat simultaneously from both of its sides (2703) concerned.
The heat exchanger (270.3) concerned collects the light ray (270.9) heat simultaneously from all pipes (270.7, 270.8) projecting into said side (270.3) of the system (270.3) simultaneously. Said light driving pipes (270.27) of the lower system (270.28), concentrate the light rays into parallel projecting light driving pipes (270.26). Said pipes (270.26) project all in parallel to each other (270.26) to the surface of the light ray concentrating concave mirror (270.18). Said light rays (270.25) are hence driven by said pipes (270.26) to the concave mirror (270.18), which concentrates and drives (270.18) said light rays (270.23) to a convex mirror (270.24). Said concave mirror (270.24) drives said light rays (270.22), as a single light ray (270.22) and coherently projecting (270.22) light ray beam (270.22), into a light driving pipe (270.14). Said light driving pipe (270.14) drives said single beam (270.15) light ray (270.15) into said pipe (270.14) to a set of flat reflection mirrors (270.13, 270.20). After passing through said light driving pipe (270.19), which comprises said flat mirrors (270.13, 270.20) embedded inside it (270.19), the light rays 4270.9) are hence driven by said final flat mirror (270.20) into said light driving pipe (270.8), towards said side (270.3) of the heat exchanger system (2703) concerned.
The light driving pipes (270.27) of the lower system (270.28), drive the light rays to a parallel projecting light driving pipe (270.26). Each set of light driving pipes (270.27) comprises a parallel (270.26) projecting (270.26) light driving pipe. Said light driving pipes (270.26) project directly in parallel to each other (270.26) towards the surface of a concave mirror (270.18). So, said pipes (270.26) drive said light rays (270.25) in parallel to each other (270.25) to the surface of the concave mirror (270.18). Said concave mirror (270.18) drives and concentrates said light rays (270.23) towards a convex mirror (270.24). Said convex mirror (270.24) drives said light rays (270.22), in a coherent and single light ray beam (270.22) manner (270.22), into a light driving pipe (270.14). Said light driving pipe (270.14) drives said single beam light rays (270.15) into its structure, towards a set of flat reflection mirrors (270.13, 270.20). Said mirrors (270.13, 270.20) are embedded inside said light driving pipe (270.19). So, when reaching the required position of projection (270.20), said last flat mirror (270.20) drives the light rays (270.9) in parallel to the adjacent light driving pipes (270.11) of the other system (270.12) and into the same direction of projection as said light driving pipes (270.11), into a light driving pipe (270.8). Said light driving pipe (270.8) drives said light rays (270.9) in parallel to said light driving pipes (270.11) of said other system (270.12) through said other system (270.12). So, the light driving pipe (270.8) drives said light rays (270.9) to the heat exchanger system (270.3) comprised.
Due to the very low space occupied by said light driving pipe (270.8), other parallel projecting light driving pipes (270.7), drive the light rays from the light driving pipes (270.11) of said system (270.12), into said heat exchanger concerned (270.3). On the other side (270.3) of said heat exchanger (270.3), other systems can drive the light rays (270.2) concentrated by other solar ray collection systems, by a pipe (270.1) into said heat exchanger system (270.3) concerned. The result is a superefficient and low space occupying heat exchanger (270.3) system (270.3). Said heat exchanger (270.3) drives a steam turbine (270.4), which in turn drives a generator set (270.5) to generate the required current for national gird applications, and power supply demand. The other part of the heat of the light rays (270.9) goes to the energy storage fluid tank (270.6), which supplies heat to said heat exchanger (270.3), acting as the heat transfer point (270.3) during low light or night hours, hence guaranteeing a constant electrical energy supply. Sustaining members (270.10) sustain said light driving pipe (270.8) into position. The lower system (270.17), as is the upper system (270.12), are all comprised on shore. The box shaped sealed casing (270.16) protects the surface of the elements (270.18, 270.24) comprised inside said box shaped case (270.16). 'This reduces maintenance costs of said systems (270.18, 270.24) inside said casing (270.16), as well as maximising outer public safety.
The systems comprised in the present invention, use concave minors (257.3, 258.4, 259.2,260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) to concentrate the light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) towards a focal point, hence concentrate these (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) into a concentrated and coherent manner. Convex minors (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) are used to dissipate the light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) being focused and concentrated to a focal point by said concave mirrors (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1,69.6), hence driving said light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) into a concentrated but coherent direction of projection. In this case, said convex mirrors (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) would be shaped into the required profile to drive said light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) in a horizontally projecting direction of projection. However, said concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) and convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7,69.8) mirrors cannot have a spherical profile in their shape weather being concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) or convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8). This is because due to the fact that solar rays do not project exactly in parallel, said light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) will focus slightly differently into various focal points when being projected by a spherical concave mirror (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6). This results in spherical aberration occurring, which can occur in either way for both for concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) and convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) mirrors. The various focal points in this case is meant at concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) mirrors.
So, in order to avoid spherical aberration from occurring, parabolic concave mirrors (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1,69.6) can be used in the case of concave mirrors (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) to make sure that said light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) project into the required focal point concerned. Said focal point will be improved using a parabolic concave mirror (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6), but will never be prefect, hence still leaving some spherical aberration occurring. The same system applies to convex mirrors (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8), which in order to avoid spherical aberration form occurring, parabolic convex mirrors (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) are being used to reflect the light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) into a well coherent light ray, where said light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) project in a concentrated and coherent manner. This would reduce the errors of light ray (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) driving and reflection to a minimum. So, parabolic convex mirrors (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) can replace the convex mirrors (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) being used in said system, hence minimising spherical aberration, and hence maximising the accuracy of said system. However, still, some spherical aberration will occur, as the systems used are never perfect. Using parabolic concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) and parabolic convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7,69.8) mirrors would hence maximise the efficiency of light ray (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) concentration and driving for said system, into the required directions of projection. This would hence maximise light ray (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) collection efficiency, and hence maximise the light ray (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) heat generated by said system, hence maximising the power generation efficiency of the system concerned.
Parabolic convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) and parabolic concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1,69.6) mirrors are however much more expensive to manufacture than spherical concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1,69.6) and spherical convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7,69.8) mirrors, as the dimensions of all three axes have to he taken into account when manufacturing these. So, algorithms have to be developed to encounter that. So, if the concave spherical (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) and convex spherical (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) mirrors drive and reflect the light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) near to the neutral axis of said mirrors, little spherical aberration will occur, and the use of parabolic concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) and parabolic convex (66.5, 68.7,69.7, 69.8) mirrors might hence not be required. Said parabolic concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) and parabolic convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) mirrors might not be required, given the high manufacturing costs that are required to manufacture said parabolic concave and convex mirrors concerned. The closer a light ray (259.3, 25922, 260.6) is form the neutral axis of said concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) or convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) mirror, the lower is the spherical aberration comprised.
So, if the convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) and concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) mirrors reflect and drive the light rays (259.3, 259.22, 260.6) from positions close to the neutral axis concerned, spherical aberration will be reduced to a minimum. So, if said concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) and convex (66.5, 68.7, 69.7, 69.8) mirrors are comprised following said rules, the use of parabolic concave (257.3, 258.4, 259.2, 260.7, 67.9, 68.2, 68.5, 69.1, 69.6) and parabolic convex (66.5,68.7, 69.7, 69.8) mirrors might not be necessary, as the cost to manufacture these is very high.
