Solar Energy Focusing Model

Solar Energy Focusing Model for Educational Demonstrations

Educational demonstration aid consisting of a large parabolic mirror (dish-shaped) with a diameter of 30 cm, mounted on a stand with a base, and an arm extending from the center of the mirror ending in a copper vessel. The model demonstrates the concentration of solar rays and the transfer of their energy through a copper conductor (in the vessel water will boil, paraffin will melt, etc.).

Height of the model: 45 cm. Mirror diameter: 30 cm.

Key features

• Parabolic mirror with a 30 cm diameter
• Mounted on a stable stand with base
• Central arm supporting a copper vessel
