Abstract
A revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve is sliced by two planes to form a reflecting-parabolic-splice-solar-smelter so as to focus the sun's noon light to a crucible for smelting rocks, glass and metals and for processing of chemicals, using zero degrees of freedom. (50 words)
Claims1
A reflecting-parabolic-splice-solar-smelter created by a parabolic-curve;
- said parabolic-curve rotated to form a revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve;
- the parabolic-curve rotated axially about a focal;
- the parabolic-curve spliced by a first-plane;
- said first-plane splices the parabolic-curve at an approximately 30 degree tangent;
- the first-plane splices the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve created by said rotation;
- the parabolic-curve spliced by a second-plane;
- said second-plane splices the parabolic-curve at an approximately 45 degree tangent;
- the second-plane splices the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve created by the rotation;
- the parabolic-curve rotated parallel and concentrically to the second-plane;
- the intersection of the first-plane angled from the second-plane at approximately 60 degrees at said focal;
- the approximately 45 degree tangent and the approximately 30 degree tangent angled at said approximately 60 degrees at the focal;
- the focal formed by the focus of the parabolic-curve;
- the focal formed by the focus of the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve;
- an interior of the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve creating a wall;
- said wall being reflective;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve interior, a first-plane interior and the second-plane form boundaries that create an open-void;
- said open-void is tilted approximately 60 degrees at the focal;
- the open-void capturing a sun's light;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve capturing said sun's light;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve is capable of reflecting the sun's light to the focal;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve reflecting the sun's light from sunset, sunrise, late morning, early morning, and noon to the focal;
- a crucible located at the focal;
- a tiled-floor to capture any stray rays not captured by said crucible;
- said tiled-floor parallel to the first-plane;
- the tiled-floor adjacent, and containing, centrally located, the crucible;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve is capable of reflecting the sun's light from sunset, sunrise, late morning,
- early afternoon, and noon to the tiled-floor;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve is capable of reflecting the sun's light from sunset, sunrise, late morning,
- early afternoon, and noon to the crucible;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve orient-able to the East or West direction;
- the open-void orient-able to the East or West direction;
- the exterior of the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve is made of masonry;
- the splice of the first-plane and the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve forming a base, or foundation;
- said base, or said foundation, is made of masonry;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve is static with zero degrees of freedom;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve is without the need for moving components;
- the revolution-of-a-parabolic-curve creating said reflecting-parabolic-splice-solar-smelter;
- the focal is formed by the focus of the reflecting-parabolic-splice-solar-smelter;
- the reflecting-parabolic-splice-solar-smelter is capable of reflecting stray rays to the tiled-floor.
