Solar oven giant
Font-Romeu-Odeyllo Via or just Odeyllo - is a commune in the Pyrenees mountains near the Spanish border in the south of France, this place - one of the sunniest on the ground. Here, more than 3,500 hours of sunshine a year, so it is not surprising that it is in Odeyllo is the world's largest solar oven.
Solar furnace was built in 1969 by the National Research Centre. The system consists of 63 fixed mirrors mounted on the grounds of the surrounding hills, which reflect the sun's rays onto a large concave mirror. Due to this, in the area about the size of the pan concentrates a huge amount of sunlight, raising its temperature to 3500 degrees Celsius. It goes parabolic mirror consists of 10 000 individual mirrors and covers an area of nearly 2,000 square meters.
Solar oven is used by the National Research Centre for the study of the heat transfer fluid systems, power converters and behavior of materials at high temperatures. These fields are of particular interest to the aerospace industry.
