Optical-Focused Fresnel Lens for Generating Electricity Output Using Multiple Layers of Heated Disks with Water as a Medium

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Concentrated solar thermal power generation has been experimentally tested in advanced countries for a period of time.This paper demonstrates how this technology can be improved by using water molecules as a medium to drive traditional generator sets for energy conversion, thereby simultaneously improving the energy conversion rate.Additionally, a novel contribution is made by incorporating a magic number 4 to enhance the focusing efficiency of Fresnel lenses, which drives improvements in power generation output and QE (Quantum Efficiency).
