the idea was to use small, high temperature single color cells, so you can use mostly plastic dishes/mirrors+ fiber optics, and focus all of the light on a small area, without flambeing any avian/insect wildlife... and then using the waste heat from the cell...

So the theoretical limit to a photo cells efficiency is 86%, but by absorbing the waste heat you can go beyond that... here is the source article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multijunction_photovoltaic_cell my idea is to simplify the cell by feeding different cells different parts of the...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:StructureMJetspectre.png This is how they overcome this problem right now, though it is VERY expensive, and my method allows for interchangeable plates, to test efficiency in colors of light..

all solar panels have an absorption band, and no one panel absorbs 100% of the spectrum, there are many organisms that make use of a narrow band of light with VERY high efficiencies. some panels are better with colors, in order to lower cost, and use of toxins, a very high efficiency small...

The magnifying glasses each have a fiber optic, and can be spread out, then all fiber optics come together, its like having a few very efficient solar panels rather then a mess of weak ones. each color of light has a corresponding solar panel, divide and conquer... like a solar panel for UV...

Hello, looking for help designing building/testing and implementing an idea, I have been thinking about using cheap flat panel magnifying lenses on a hinge and pivot, that track the sun, and then having a fiber optic at the focal point, and then having multiple fiber optics terminate at the...
