Abstract
A wind-energy and radiation-energy collector system has at least one radiation-energy collector with a radiation-absorbing absorber and a reflector element. The reflector element collects radiation and directs the radiation at the absorber. At least one wind wheel, which is arranged in a direction opposite the receiving direction of the radiation-energy collector and which is supported on the system, is provided. The arrangement of the radiation-energy collector and the wind wheel is movably supported so that the arrangement can be oriented either with the radiation-energy collector facing the sun or with the wind wheel against the prevailing wind direction.
Claims6
A wind-energy and radiation-energy collector system, comprising:
- at least one radiation-energy collector having a radiation-absorbing absorber and a reflector body, said reflector body collecting radiation and directing the radiation onto said absorber;
- at least one wind wheel mounted on the collector system and disposed opposite a receiving direction of said radiation-energy collector;
- said radiation-energy collector and said wind wheel defining a configuration being moveably supported so that said configuration is capable of being orientated either with said radiation-energy collector toward a sun or with said wind wheel toward a prevailing wind direction;
- and
- said reflector body being formed of individually pivotable and/or individually displaceable partial surfaces articulated on a starting region of said reflector body, whereby said partial surfaces have ends pointing toward a bottom of said radiation-energy collector and can be one of pivoted or displaced toward an outside of the collector system, forming a wind channel that follows said wind wheel.
