Who can take a sunrise

That got me very excited.

As of 2007, there are only about 4 square miles.

They usually have a one degree acceptance angle once they're more than a degree off, none of the sunlight rays will hit the focus.

I have a stake in these, so I'll have a disclaimer there.

Who can take the sunrise

What if you combine the petals and the engine in the center?

So the leftmost position is 'L' over here, 'L' over here, 'L' over here.

Those shapes are parabolas.

And I'll show you what we came up with.

It seems like there's some trouble at Fairy Tail. What's going on? Their members are fighting amongst each other.

The whole system would have a much lower profile, but also we could gather sunlight for six and a half to seven hours a day.

Let's now spin the world during the same year.

Also, the system is self fueling.

Each light emits photons which bounce around the world and may get absorbed or otherwise changed.

(Laughter)

So, about two and a half hours of the day we could collect with a stationary component.

(Laughter)

But better what is more important is that they would have to concentrate sunlight.

And the technology that we settled on as an ideal partner for the Seawater Greenhouse is concentrated solar power, which uses solar tracking mirrors to focus the sun's heat to create electricity.

And this is the shape that evolved.

But they vary even more, possibly moving towards infrared and ultraviolet in the extremes.

So we tried to come up with a way to use genetic algorithms to create a new type of concentrator.

like I had been thinking about in high school, but maybe with modern technology we could make it cheaper concentrate it to a small converter, and then the conversion device wouldn't have to be as expensive, because it's much smaller, rather than solar cells, which have to cover the entire surface that you want to gather sun from.

It also uses photons, but they're all synchronized, and if you focus them into a beam, what you have is an incredibly useful tool.

So an example a ray over here gets projected like this, and a ray over here might make it like this.

The light.

Red light, green light.

The horses were climbing up a hilly piece of road when she first caught sight of a

A light?

Light.

It's this non tracking collector with these six tuba like horns, and each of them collect light in the following way if the sunlight strikes right here, it might bounce right to the center, the hot spot, directly, but if the sun is off axis and comes from the side, it might hit two places and take two bounces.

Before the light bulb was invented, people had figured out how to put a reflector behind it, focus it a little bit put lenses in front of it, focus it a little bit better.

Hey. Hey Square. Where have you been all this time?

Mm hmm.

Fall in! Fall in!
