Patent ID: 6899097

Claim:
A solar blackbody waveguide for conversion of solar flux to heat energy comprising: a plurality of solar towers, solar arrays comprised of a plurality of solar collection cells attached to and supported by each said solar tower, each solar collection cell attached to and provided with means for directing sunlight in parallel light rays into a common light waveguide provided for its associated solar tower, each common light waveguide entering into an interior of a hollow, lossy solar coil and guiding light rays to the interior of said lossy solar coil, said lossy solar coil located within an insulated pipeline so that the lossy solar coil extends longitudinally within said insulated pipeline, each of said common light waveguides connected to an associated solar horn provided internally within the solar coil to direct the light rays in one direction and approximately longitudinally into the hollow solar coil where the light rays are absorbed by the solar coil and are converted to heat energy, and said pipeline provided internally with an annular space surrounding the outside of the solar coil as a space through which working fluid circulates to remove the heat energy from the solar coil and from which the working fluid can be removed for use as an energy source.
