Abstract:
The SBFM (solar box) design is an instrument that boils water through the use of glass lenses. The Glass lenses (3 inch 3× magnification) when aligned with the Sun condenses the light waves and focuses them into sealed chambers with glass on one side (the side the light waves come in on). The Copper chambers are sealed and connected together with small brass tubing leaving one opening for water to be added &amp; one opening from where the steam pressure is released. 
     One lens to one copper cup brings the cup of water to a boil in less than a minute. The measurement between the lens and the water, or, the point on the magnified or condensed light waves that is submerged in water to create steam, does not change depending on what part of the earth one is using the SBFM (Solar Box). This means that each SBFM (Solar Box) may be manufactured to the same specifications &amp; used at any point on the earth using one lens per copper cup.

Description:
[0001]    Solar power is the field of endeavor to which this invention pertains. It is being patented as a non-provisional utility patent. 
         [0002]    I have read of an invention (in a recent issue of Scientific American) that uses a large curved mirror that condenses light waves into water causing the water to boil. In 2001 in Los Angeles I displayed &amp; sold a painting illustrating a large lens being focused on a gallium crystal. In the painting humanoid lizard-like aliens were using this device to power their appliances. While displaying the painting I was approached by people who insisted that a using large curved mirror was a better idea. At the time I knew that one could boil water with condensed light however it took time &amp; resources to figure out how to best way to track the sun with the lenses. Through my experimentation, I learned that if the light waves are bounced off of a mirror the light waves lose half of the heat they emit as the mirror absorbs it. The conclusion is that my design of using lenses is much more efficient not only in the heat transference but also because my 100 lens SBFM (solar box) measures 33 inches by 33 inches making it much smaller than the curved mirror approach which I have never seen but have read that it is too big to fit on a rooftop. 
         [0003]    The SBFM (solar box) in contrast to the traditional Gallium Arsenide panels is adaptable to be used for not only generating power but may be used for a number of different applications. Possible Uses include: Generating Power, Desalinating Sea water, Cooking, and in conjunction with my next upcoming patent by inventor Geoffrey Alan Lush it may also be used for Weather Control &amp; Agricultural control. 
       SUMMARY 
       [0004]    As stated in the Background Section of this Non provisional utility Application, Through my experimentation, I learned that if the light waves are bounced off of a mirror the light waves lose half of the heat they emit as the mirror absorbs it. The conclusion is that my design of using lenses is much more efficient not only in the heat transference but also because my 100 lens SBFM (solar box) measures 33 inches by 33 inches making it much smaller than the curved mirror approach which I have never seen but have read that it is too big to fit on a rooftop. 
         [0005]    The SBFM (solar box) in contrast to the traditional Gallium Arsenide panels is adaptable to be used for not only generating power but may also be used for a number of different applications Possible Uses including: Generating Power, Desalinating Sea water, Cooking, and in conjunction with my next upcoming patent by inventor Geoffrey Alan Lush it may also be used for Weather Control &amp; Agricultural control. 
         [0006]    The S.B.F.M (solar box) design is as indicated in the drawing measurements is an instrument with between lenses and sealed chambers with glass on one side is able to boil water if pointed at the correct angle directly towards the sun. 
         [0007]    In my experiments one lens to one copper cup brings the cup water to a boil in less than a minute. The distance between the lens and the water, the point on the magnified or condensed light waves that is submerged in water to create steam, does not change depending what part of the earth one is using the lens or Solar Box on. Meaning each solar box may be manufactured to the same spec measurements &amp; used at any point on the earth using one lens per copper cup. The first prototype is a 5 lens Solar box (a satellite dish base was used as a mount as once the arc swing of the sun is set on the base on only needs to adjust the tilt of the Solar box to align the Solar Box to the Sun) The Second Construct is a 100 lens Solar box with a pane of glass helping pressurize the 100 imbedded copper cups that are all channeled together where water comes in &amp; Steam is Created when the lenses of the box are pointed at the sun. 
         [0008]    Possible Uses: Generating Power, Desalinating Sea water, cooking, Weather Control, Agricultural control etc. To be used in conjunction with an upcoming Patent by inventor Geoffrey Alan Lush. The base of the Solar Box is not included in this Patent.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
       [0016]    I have drawn two different examples of a SBFM (Solar Box) construct. The first is a five-lens box design  FIG. 1A-D  The five-lens is a simple example of the inner workings of the invention. The five-lens box was made mainly for experimentation purposes. The one hundred lens SBFM (Solar Box)  FIG. 2A-C . is to be used for ordinary practical usage. The differences in construct between the two are, on the five lens  FIG. 1  A-D each copper cup has a cut glass seal. The one hundred lens  FIG. 2A-C . has each copper cup recessed in a plastic bed and all the copper cups are sealed in by a single pane of glass. 
       FIG. 1A Full Frontal View of a Five Lens SBFM (Solar Box) 
       [0017]    This view shows what a simple five lens SBFM (Solar Box) looks like. Displayed in this view is the Arc &amp; Tilt base  1  that is not included in this patent. To save time &amp; money I used a mini satellite dish base to align the arc &amp; tilt of the lenses to the Sun. Once the arc of the base is aligned to the sun, the tilt need only be adjusted for daily usage. 
       FIG. 1B Exploded View of a Five Lens SBFM (Solar Box) 
       [0018]    Inside a nineteen and a half inch long wood frame, three fourths inch in height, six and a half inches in width, with one and five eighths inch inside frame width  2  sit five three inch diameter three times magnifier glass lenses  3 . These lenses have a half inch plastic rim around each lens  4 . The lenses condense the light waves from the sun to the finest point where the heat of the condensed light waves is picked up in the copper cup heat chambers filled with water. These five chambers are three fourth inch diameter three fourth inch height copper cups  5 . (common plumbing copper end caps altered to accommodate connecting brass pipes). The copper cups are sealed in at the top with eleven sixteenth diameter glass  6 . The glass is one sixteenth in thickness. Automotive silicone sealant was used as a glue with three fourths inch ring seals  7  that extend an eighth of an inch outward from the inside opening. The copper cups are connected by brass pipes  8 . The brass pipes are one eighths inch in thickness and measure two and seven, eighths inches between copper cups. The two outside brass pipes are curved upwards so added water does not escape in liquid form. A wood mount  9  that measures twenty two inches long, a half inch in height and one and a half inches wide was used to hold the copper cup heat chambers  5 . The wood copper cup heat chamber mount was attached to a bottom wood frame  10  that matches the measurements exactly as the top wood frame nineteen and a half inches long, three fourths inch in height, six and a half inches wide with a one and five eighths inch inside frame width. The top and bottom wood frames are separated by four half-inch bolts  11 . The bolts are eleven inches in length. The bolts run through holes drilled in the top and bottom frames. The bolts are held in place by nuts and washers. The nuts and washers hold the top and bottom frames apart at six and five eighths inches. This measurement is crucial because if the measurement is off the point of condensed light may not land in the correct spot of the water filled copper cup heat chambers  5 . The measurement between the half-inch nuts separating the top and bottom frames is five and five eighths inches. The arc and tilt base  1  is represented but is not included in the SBFM (Solar Box) patent.

These lenses are sealed in place by a hard glue. Five and a half inches from the bottom of each glass lens is a one sixteenth thick pane of glass  18  measuring thirty by thirty inches. Beneath the pane of glass are one hundred three fourth inch copper cups  19 . (common plumbing copper end caps altered to accommodate connecting brass pipes). The copper cups are connected by one hundred and seven brass pipes  20 . The brass pipes are one eighths inch in thickness and measure two and three eighths inches between the copper cups. The top of the one hundred lens SBFM (Solar Box) is to the left of the illustration. Brass pipes come out of the top middle two copper cup heat chambers. One for water to go in, one for pressurized steam to come out. Only the top thirty copper cup heat chambers are connected by brass pipes going across left and right (up and down on the illustration as the left side of the illustration is the top of the one hundred lens SBFM). All of The copper cup heat chambers set in a cup bed  21  made from high tensile hard mold plastic measuring thirty-two inches by thirty-two inches with a two-inch thickness. The cup bed has one hundred impressions three fourth inch diameter and three fourth inch deep spaced two and three eighths inches apart to accommodate the copper cup heat chambers. One hundred and seven channels, one eighths inch deep one eighths inch wide, join together the impressions that hold the one hundred copper cups to accommodate the brass pipes. Two channels come out of the top middle two impressions that hold the top middle two copper cup heat chambers to accommodate the two brass pipes that come out of the top middle two copper cup heat chambers. Again the top of the one hundred lens SBFM (Solar Box) is to the left of the illustration. The pane of glass  18  is sealed to the cup bed  20  with a waterproof adhesive to keep the inside of the copper cup heat chambers pressurized during usage. Seven holes are drilled in the top frame  16  corresponding to seven holes drilled in the cup bed  21  to accommodate seven half-inch bolts that measure eleven inches in length  22 . Nuts and washers hold the bolts in place and separate the top frame  16  from the cup bed by six and five eighths inches. A measurement of five and five eighths inches is between the nuts on the bottom of the wood frame  16  to the nuts on the top of the cup bed  21 .
