Solar Concentrator is Gas-Filled
Abstract
Proposed reflector for concentrating solar rays is made of two flexible polymer films with pressurized gas between them. First film is clear, serving as a protective cover and pressure envelope; second film is metalized to serve as concentrating mirror. Focal length of mirror is adjusted by changing gas pressure.
