SOLAR RADIATION CONCENTRATOR (VERSIONS) Russian patent published in 2014 - IPC F24J2/06 F24J2/36 

FIELD: energy industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention is used to produce electricity by concentrating solar radiation for its subsequent conversion to electricity. The solar radiation concentrator comprises a tubular housing, at least a part of which is made transparent, a focusing element such as a reflective film 2, an energy transducer 3, and also the focusing element positioning system depending on the sun position. The reflective film 2 on its perimeter is secured inside the casing in the form of an inflatable balloon 1. The balloon 1 is placed with the ability of free rotation inside the hollow housing 9 with a gap relative to its inner surface with the ability of filling the said gap at its lower part with the liquid, and the positioning system is made with the ability to rotate the casing. In the second embodiment of invention, the housing is missing, the balloon is placed on one surface of the water reservoir.

EFFECT: proposed construction is characterised by mobility, compactness, ease of installation, ease of maintenance, low effort required to position the casing, low cost through the use of simple and accessible materials, the ability to create power plant of any power efficiency.
