Parabolic mirrors or heliostats concentrate light onto a focal point. The temperature at the focal point may reach 3,500 °C (6,330 °F), and this heat can be used to generate electricity, melt steel, make hydrogen fuel or nanomaterials. The largest solar furnace is at Odeillo in the Pyrénées-Orientales in France, opened in 1970. It employs ...
Passive mirror cooling systems reduce temperatures by reflecting solar radiation while shielding the base of the mirrors from heat penetration. [4] The effectiveness of such systems may be reduced with the accumulation of dust on mirrors, with maximum dust accumulation reducing mirror effectiveness by 63%.
A parabolic (or paraboloid or paraboloidal) reflector (or dish or mirror) is a reflective surface used to collect or project energy such as light, sound, or radio waves. Its shape is part of a circular paraboloid , that is, the surface generated by a parabola revolving around its axis.
