PRISMATIC LIGHT BREAKAGE BODY FOR CONCENTRATING SOLAR ENERGY ON A SUITABLE COLLECTOR SURFACE WITH A FIXED POSITION IN RELATION TO THE TIME

摘要

The present invention provides a fixed refractor of transparent material consisting of various afocal adjacent straight prismatic elements of specific dimensions which are asymmetrically arranged about an axis parallel to the length of said prisms, to obtain a solar energy concentrating power equal to or greater than 2.6 for a substantial portion of the day.
