Abstract

A solar blackbody waveguide [10] that captures and uses sunlight to heat a thermal heat transfer fluid. One or more systems of optical mirrors [18] provided on each tower [12] captures and concentrates the sunlight. Each system of optical mirrors [18] is movably mounted on its tower [12] to track the daily movement of the sun and to maintain the proper angle with the hoπzon throughout the year. Each system of optical mirrors [18] directs the light into an associated short light pipe [42] which delivers the tight into a curved solar coil [44] contained within an enclosure [46]. Energy from the light rays is absorbed by the solar coil [44] and transferred to thermal working fluid or heat transfer fluid [64] flowing between the solar coil [44] and the enclosure [46].
