Solar powered electrical generator - uses solar energy to evaporate gas to drive turbine which drives electrical generator

摘要

A liquid is evaporated in a solar energy collector. The resulting gas is taken to a vessel filled with water within which there is a turbine rotor. The gas impinges on the lower blades of the wheel and causes it to rotate. After passing through the rotor the gas leaves the water and the vessel at the top and reaches a condenser above the vessel. The liquid condensed in this returns to the solar collector so that the process is continuous. The water in the vessel reaches the temp. of the gas and the condenser maintains a vacuum above it. The turbine drives an electrical generator.
