  1. Parabolic Solar Collector Rotating Trough Design

  2. The Problem • To make a solar collection unit from ≤ $50 • To heat 0.5 Litres of water over 2 hours • To make the design repeatable and manufacturable Don’t you wish you could help to counteract global warming?

  3. Background • Types of reflective surfaces: – Lens, mirror, polished metal, foil tape • Types of light-concentrating shapes: – Parabola, catenary, 2D, 3D • Types of frames: – Suspended, fixed stand

  4. Our Solution The Parabolic Solar Collector • Parabolic trough Acrylic Sheet End Piece with Reflective tape • Fixed stand Securing Piece • Rotating trough • Foil tape • Focal line • < $50 per unit 20 in Base plank 5 in 36 in Every household could have one

  5. Progress • Estimated to boil water in full sun and heat the water in cloudy conditions
