A huge sunny stove

In France, along one of the high -mountain roads, you can see simply a huge structure in size. Random travelers the object attracts its magnificent and blinding brilliance. This is the world’s largest overseas oven in the world. There is a sunny stove near a town called von-rome-ootei.

The indicated place in the southwestern part of France, scientists chose far from accident. The sun can shine in this place for three hundred days annually, relative to one square meter, the power indicator in the solar flow is about 800 watts.

The solar stove was created of more than 10 thousand concave mirrors that are able to reflect and focus the rays of sunlight to the total area of ​​the diagonal of which does not exceed 40 centimeters. At the same time, the diameter of the entire mirror structure is currently about 54 meters. The mirror array acts as a parabolic reflector, which then concentrates the light output at a specific focus. The temperature indicator in a certain focus is as if about 22 thousand suns were sent to the focus point. The temperature in this case can reach 3.5 thousand. degrees Celsius. In this case, everything will be determined by the specific positions of the mirrors themselves. The specified solar oven is used by local scientists exclusively for industrial purposes. With the help of it, electricity is generated, steel is melted, nanomaterials and new hydrogen fuel are created.

This battery was put into operation in the 70s of the last century. For a long period of time she was the one and only. Tourists are provided unhindered access to these mirror structures.
