Heat losses from a paraboloid concentrator solar cooker: Experimental investigations on effect of reflector orientation
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the thermal performance of a focussing-type solar cooker for different orientations of the paraboloied reflector and determined the heat loss factore for a cooker with/without reflector for no-wind conditions.

Some considerations relative to a solar-powered savery water pump
TL;DR: The primitive Savery steam engine was adapted to mass production at low unit cost, so that in spite of its low efficiency it may be useful as a solar-powered low-lift water pump as discussed by the authors.
