MC2 Post 1371 Spherical Glass Lens Concentrates Sunlight by Up To 10,000 Times




And Boosts Solar Cell Efficiency



From:  http://www.engadget.com



Eking out more power from solar cells is an ongoing challenge for scientists, and now architect André Broessel has developed a spherical glass energy generator that's said to improve efficiency by 35 percent. Acting as a lens, the rig's large water-filled orb concentrates diffused daylight or moonlight onto a solar cell with the help of optical tracking to harvest electricity. In certain configurations, the apparatus can be used for solar thermal energy generation and even water heating.
