Roof Having An Integral Solar Energy Concentrating System

View page
US Patent:
55644104, Oct 15, 1996
Filed:
Jan 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/379841
Inventors:
John F. Myles - Pittsboro NC
Michael H. Nicklas - Cary NC
Louis J. Gerics - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
E04D 1318
US Classification:
126621
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a roof having an integral solar energy concentrating system. A combination of solar energy concentrating reflectors and reflected solar energy collectors is used, among other solar energy concentrating or energy transferring elements, to gather radiant solar energy from a roof atop a building or roofed structure. The reflectors or reflector backing panels are integrated into other roof structure elements so as to form a weathertight roof. Thus, the present invention results in a lower weight and lower cost way of collecting radiant solar energy from atop a building or roofed structure.

Covered Canal Or Aqueduct Having An Integral Solar Energy Concentrating System

View page
US Patent:
59378492, Aug 17, 1999
Filed:
Jul 1, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/673084
Inventors:
John F. Myles - Pittsboro NC
Michael H. Nicklas - Cary NC
Louis J. Gerics - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
F24T 242
US Classification:
126562
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a covered canal or aqueduct having an integral solar energy concentrating system. Either photo-voltaic panels or a combination of solar energy concentrating reflectors and reflected solar energy collectors are used, among other solar energy concentrating or energy transferring elements, as part of a membrane means to gather radiant solar energy from atop the surface over a canal or aqueduct. Either the photo-voltaic panels or the reflector panels are integrated into other membrane means elements which are supported by a structural means so as to prevent evaporative loss from solar heating and wind movement of waters in the canal. Thus, the present invention results in the more efficient transfer of waters through canals while simultaneously collecting radiant solar energy.

Tracking Solar Energy Concentrating System Having A Circular Primary Reflector And A Tracking Secondary Compound Parabolic Reflector

View page
US Patent:
56736843, Oct 7, 1997
Filed:
Jan 26, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/592055
Inventors:
John F. Myles - Pittsboro NC
Michael H. Nicklas - Cary NC
Louis J. Gerics - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
F24J 212
US Classification:
126694
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved solar energy concentrating system and to a preferred novel focal collection zone for such a system. In general, the system comprises a moveable solar energy collector supported above a cylindrically arcuate solar energy concentrating reflector. The solar energy collector has a compound parabolic non-imaging shape. In a preferred embodiment, instead of positioning the collector to rotate about the center of curvature of the reflector and to extend down halfway between the center of curvature and the reflector, in the present invention, the solar energy collector extends further down according to a particular algorithm.

Tracking Solar Energy Concentrating System Having A Circular Primary And A Compound Secondary

View page
US Patent:
56555156, Aug 12, 1997
Filed:
Apr 29, 1996
Appl. No.:
8/638733
Inventors:
John F. Myles - Pittsboro NC
Michael H. Nicklas - Cary NC
Louis J. Gerics - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
F24J 238
US Classification:
126601
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a solar energy concentrating system that uses a combination of a circular arcuate primary reflector and a linear compound parabolic secondary collector. The secondary collector can track by swinging in a circular are above the primary.

Solar Energy Concentrating System Having A Novel Focal Collection Zone

View page
US Patent:
57878773, Aug 4, 1998
Filed:
Jan 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/379842
Inventors:
Michael H. Nicklas - Cary NC
Louis J. Gerics - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
F24J 238
US Classification:
126601
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved solar energy concentrating system having a novel focal collection zone. In general, the system comprises a moveable solar energy collector supported above a cylindrically arcuate solar energy concentrating reflector. Instead of positioning the collector to rotate about the center of curvature of the reflector and to extend down halfway between the center of curvature and the reflector, in the present invention, the solar energy collector extends further down according to a particular algorithm.

Solar Energy Concentrating System Having An Automatic Safety Means

View page
US Patent:
55312160, Jul 2, 1996
Filed:
Jan 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/379845
Inventors:
Michael H. Nicklas - Cary NC
Louis J. Gerics - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
F24J 240
US Classification:
126599
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved moveable-collector, solar energy concentrating system incorporating an automatic safety means. In the present invention, if there is a failure in a solar-heated fluid transfer system, a failure in the positioning means for a reflected solar energy collector, or a failure in power to the system, then the collector is automatically moved out of an optimal position in a predetermined focal collection zone.

Solar Energy Concentrating System Having Replaceable Reflectors

View page
US Patent:
55402178, Jul 30, 1996
Filed:
Jan 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/379844
Inventors:
John F. Myles - Pittsboro NC
Michael H. Nicklas - Cary NC
Louis J. Gerics - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
F24J 210
US Classification:
126692
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an improved solar energy concentrating system incorporating replaceable solar energy concentrating reflectors. Prior systems typically required a structurally stable solar energy concentrating panel. The present invention uses a combination of structurally stable backing panels and flexible solar energy concentrating reflectors to significantly reduce the ease and cost of replacing reflectors.

Roof Module Having An Integral Solar Energy Concentrator

View page
US Patent:
55644112, Oct 15, 1996
Filed:
Jan 26, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/879843
Inventors:
John F. Myles - Pittsboro NC
Michael H. Nicklas - Cary NC
Louis J. Gerics - Raleigh NC
International Classification:
E04D 1318
US Classification:
126621
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a roof module having an integral solar energy concentrator. The present modules can be combined to form a weathertight roof with an integral solar concentrator. Radiant solar energy can be collected from this modular roof using reflected solar energy collectors, among other solar energy concentrating or energy transferring elements. The present invention results in a lower weight and easier to install system for placing solar energy concentrators atop a structure, and thus, lower the cost collecting radiant solar energy from atop a building or roofed structure.
