This invention relates to a solar appliance apparatus for utilizing solar thermal radiation to supply heat to a heating and cooking surface. The apparatus includes a housing permanently stationed inside a residential structure and the like. The housing contains a heat transfer medium and a radiation receiver carried in heat exchange contact with the medium. A heating and cooking surface is carried by the housing in heat exchange relationship with the heat transfer medium. A radiation pipe extends through the exterior wall of the building structure to deliver a concentrated beam of solar radiation rays to the radiation receiver.read more

Patent
Solar energy conversion system
TL;DR: In this article, a solar energy collection and conversion system is disclosed in which a cassegrain mirror system is rotated about a diurnal axis, which axis is adjusted for seasonal variations in the incidence of the sun's rays on the earth's surface.
Patent
Solar energy collector having a fiber-optic cable
TL;DR: In this paper, a paraboloidal mirror collects radiant solar energy and reflects it to a smaller mirror positioned on the directrix of the larger mirror to prevent the formation of destructive hot spots by the focusing of rays that are slanting with respect to the direction of the fibers.
