The principle of the dish-stirling systems

A large parabolic mirror concentrates the solar radiatin onto a small heating surface covered with thin small tubes. There gas is heated to a temperature of about 700°C which drives a Stirling engine. This in turn propels an electric generator with 10 - 50 kW capacity, depending on the size of the mirror.


The key to counteract migration is to supply remote villages in sun-drenched Third-World-countries with electricity. Our dish-stirling-systems are designed to be manufactured in those countries, thus being doubly effective in increasing the standard of living: providing jobs as well as electricity.
