Stellate solar collector

摘要: A solar collector device of the type adapted for heating water and like. An elongated, opaque is provided with a plurality radially extending vanes so as to define hollow interior stellate cross-section. Water sprayed through feeding conduit which extends interior. As accumulates upon vane surfaces, wheel rotated according weight deposited water. tips are downwardly, heated by conductive contact surfaces convection radiation within The then discharged downwardly apertures in into pan. invention distinguished from prior art its introduction paddle configuration, rather than exterior vanes. configuration provides an increased area exposure sun compact unit conduction, radiation.
