The optical system can be used for concentrating light such as in solar applications. The optical system can also be used for diffusing light in illumination applications by replacing the receiver with a light source such that the light flows in the reverse of the concentration system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus and methods to provide a control system for the purpose of redirecting light from a source onto a target. The present invention appreciates that the optical properties of light that is both modified and/or distributed, e.g. by diffraction, diffusion, or some other process, and also redirected by a heliostat, can be a function of how the light redirecting element is aimed. This means that the aim of the light redirecting element can be precisely determined once the aim of the modified and/or distributed light is known. Advantageously, the characteristics of modified and/or distributed light indicative of how that light is aimed can be determined from locations outside the zone of concentrated illumination in which sensors are at undue risk. This, in turn, means that modified and/or distributed light characteristics can be detected at a safe location, and this information can then be used to help precisely aim the light redirecting element onto the desired target, such as a receiver in a CSP system. The aim of the modified and/or distributed light is thus an accurate proxy for the light beam to be aimed at the receiver.

The basic block of the collector is substantially transparent to the electromagnetic radiation and has spaced-apart first and second surfaces, by which the basic block when in operation is exposed to a source of the electromagnetic radiation and faces the radiation converter respectively. The first surface of the basic block has a dome-shaped configuration of a predetermined curvature. The second surface of the basic block is formed by refractive interfaces defining an apex structure aligned with an uppermost region of the dome, and sloping downward toward edges of the block, such that the refractive interface directs at least a part of radiation collected by the first surface onto a region outside the basic block on a plane spaced apart from the second surface, thereby enabling interaction of the at least part of the collected radiation with a corresponding region of a radiation sensitive surface of the radiation converter located in the plane.

Abstract: The sun collector (15) according to the invention has a novel unit for focusing and transmitting light (9). It comprises at least one transparent sphere (1), which generates a focal point (5) onto a spherical surface outside of the sphere (1) as a function of the position of the sun. A mechanical device (2, 3, 4, 8) following the focal point (5) fixes the same in any position predetermined by the sun. Due to the matrix-shaped arrangement of a plurality of transparent spheres (1) having a small diameter, a flat sun collector (15) is formed, which corresponds to the conventional integrable installation size of commercially available hot water collectors. The same may therefore be permanently installed in roof or cladding elements and has no interfering mechanical elements on the outside. Despite the position of the sun constantly changing, the collector is able to focus the direct sunlight and utilize the same in a focused manner. When supplying sun energy to a light conductor, said energy may be conducted to any arbitrary location where the focused light fulfills various tasks by means of a light conductor switch.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system and method of providing energy to a dwelling. An engine is housed within an inner tank, which is in turn housed within an outer tank. The engine provides electricity which is used for a dwelling. Exhaust fumes from the engine are piped through a series of heat- exchanging tubes within the outer tank to heat potable water within the outer tank. Water enters the potable tank at a bottom of the tank, and warms as it rises through the outer tank toward an outlet near a top of the outer tank. Hot, potable water is provided from the top of the outer tank to the dwelling. Condensate from the exhaust is captured and used as potable water. Heat, vibration, and acoustic energy from the engine is captured by the fluid in the inner tank and transferred to the outer tank.
