Crimean solar thermal power plant can cut any materials and even evaporate metals
How to read — burn the probe, which is going to send to Mars, or not? Where it is possible to check? Or how to make a "sun knife" that can cut any materials and even evaporate metals? Or how to generate the temperature of 4 thousand degrees Celsius from sunlight? And all this with the help of a sunbeam. The answers to these questions You can get in a place where only the elite know.
This solar thermal power plant of the Institute for problems of materials science of NAS of Ukraine, located in the Crimean village Katsiveli. Hidden from prying eyes from the highway small area, it housed a couple of dozen metal structures, entirely covered with mirrors. It is these seemingly simple devices that allow you to do all those incredible things that we mentioned at the beginning of the article. Geliotsentr created in 1967 to explore the possibilities of solar energy. The selection of this place was due to several factors — the atmosphere in this area is one of the most transparent in Ukraine, there is a huge flux of solar radiation and almost never clouds.
The installation focuses sunlight using all 12 thousand of mirrors which direct the rays in one point. However, the Orb is not in place. Therefore the installation of automatically catching the ever elusive Sun. But what makes "plate" with the compiled beam? Concentrated solar energy reaches a temperature of 4 thousand degrees Celsius.
It allows you not only to melt metal, and even to vaporize them. With solar systems you can simulate the temperature of the Earth and Mars, and it is possible to make a "sun knife" — this here cut, for example, asbestos cloth. Their edges immediately melted and was not the air with dust. And "toasted" in the Sun cinder blocks no longer absorb moisture and become smooth.
