Solar Fire is a modular, high temperature, fixed focal point, Solar Concentration System designed for scalability at low-cost.
Steam
Make steam without fuel!
Oven
Bake in the sun!
CAD
Simulate, optimize, design.
New Website Up!
On the 21st of December, 2011, we launched the newest version of the site.
Since we use Spip (bless their souls), totally redoing the entire structure and design isn't so complicated.
In the newest version we've implemented a Blorum which we hope people will use to Blog and discuss their projects and ideas. Using a system of key words we can associate each Blorum post to the main material of the site (Steam, Oven, DIY, Countries, etc.).
... But since there's already some 800 pages or so and a few thousand images, we're still ironing out the kinks. Please email us any faults you find, suggestions, or content you can no longer find.

90 sqrt Meter model: first testHere is a short series of clips of the first day testing the 90m^2 meter model in Rajkot India. There was some leaks in the pipes and not all the mirrors have been perfected, so with further improvements the power should increase. Rajkot, India, February 9th, 2012 just after completion of the Solar Fire Vertical 90m², filmed by Will Cleaver in one of Tinytech factories.
