Calculation of a solar parabola: focus, curvature ...

[jmfrigerio]

approximately, yes.

A single curvature parabola (cylindrical-parabolic mirror).

And a parabola made it an assembly at 60° of 6 (at least) of these elements by their center...

That's what I was thinking.... 8 ends (4 flamed rods) forming an octagon held by a cable.

I receive the flexible mirror on Saturday .....

Awesome, don't forget to post some pics including some during construction if possible?

What size/power do you want to do?

I thought a little less than 2m in diameter (3m2 of insolation)
I'll try for the photos...... and I'm not a great handyman.... so indulgence to be expected.

Ah but don't worry, we are very lenient here, huh friends?

(some criticize him for being too indulgent with moderation...!)

Have you planned a tracker?

We look forward to seeing you!

I'm thinking about a tracking system, I'll tell you a few words about it from time to time.

Ah well if you do tracking then you're not such a bad handyman (a dish without a tacker doesn't work very well, eh...)
