Solar/electromagnetic energy collector, solar heating element, solar lamp

Abstract

This invention provides a unique Solar/Electromagnetic Energy Cell, Solar/Electromagnetic Energy Collector which can be used to harness solar energy, Solar Lamp which provides light from the output provided by Energy Collector/Cell, Solar Heating Element which can provide energy for cooking food, water heater, room heater or any heating application.

1 . Energy Cell comprising of conical shaped module with two parts as shown in  FIG. 1 . These could be of two types. Type-I is based on principal of reflectivity of internal surface used for concentrating Solar/Electromagnetic energy to small diameter( smaller than the top opening diameter of the Cell) tube. This type will be covered with transparent material to avoid any extraneous object falling into the cell. Type-II uses convex lens at the top opening of the cell. In both types internal surface of cell is coated with a substance to provide reflectivity to the waves(Solar/Electromagnetic) being captured. Top opening can be of any shape like hexagon/octagon/circle etc. Ratio of diameter of top opening and height of cell can be selected to adjust the efficiency of the cell. If needed cell can be made as single piece.  
     
     
         2 . Energy Collector comprising of multiple Energy Cells as shown in  FIG. 2  and  FIG. 3 . This can provide output from multiple tubes. This output can be combined to reduce the no. of outlets. This will be in the shape of few inches thick plane with some output tubes.  
     
     
         3 . Solar Heating element comprising of conical object as shown in  FIG. 5 . Top cover will be made of black body material. This will take energy from Energy collector as input and convert into heat, which will be radiated through the top curved surface. Provides an intensity control switch.  
     
     
         4 . Solar Lamp comprising of conical object as shown in  FIG. 6 . Top cover will be made of translucent material. This will take concentrated light from Energy collector as input and diffuse into through the translucent top surface. Infrared and ultraviolet filters can be placed inside to remove heat and harmful ultraviolet radiation. Provides an intensity control switch.
