STEAM HYDRAULICS
Driving hydraulics directly from the sun
A new hydraulic pump using steam changes the way we drive systems. Steam driven hydraulics brings hydraulics into the renewable energy age as it can be solar driven. Solar derived steam and a steam hydraulic pump produces work capable of hydraulically pumping great pressure. This is a break-through providing an new economical method of driving the production of water and power.
The higher the temperature, the higher efficiency. Our new solar concentrator "oven" is more efficient than parabolic trough solar collectors - is less expensive than troughs or parabolic dish concentrators - requires less sun-tracking precision - and is less prone to hail damage than troughs or dishes.
The "Archimedes Solar Oven" provides the energy to drive the steam driven hydraulic pump. This brings the cost of solar renewable energy within competitive fossil pricing.
A new level of solar renewable energy efficiency is achieved providing a cost effective renewable energy source to make water and power without conventional fossil fuels.
