Solar Flower - Open Source Solar Energy Collector
The Solarflower is an open source solar energy collector you can make easily using scrap materials. It is able to follow the sun using a non-electrical mechanism.

It can be made anywhere from common salvaged materials using basic tools, is portable, has no running costs or emissions, and can produce up to kilowatts of power.

The solorflower works by generating heat. The heat can be used do other things such as generating electricity, smokeless cooking, heating and purifying water, making charcoal, and anything else that heat could can be used for.

Depending on materials already available it should take one to three unskilled people about a week to build, and cost under $100.

Here are a few uses you can get out of this thing:
  • Electrical production with a simple steam turbine/piston, with waste heat going to an oven or hot water system.
  • Dome oven with water system for temperature regulation and hot water.
  • Distillation of water for removal of chemical, heavy metal, and biological toxins.
  • Medium to large scale food dehydration, processing, and roasting.
  • Conversion of organic waste into charcoal for energy and low smoke cooking, also producing bio-oil and bio-gas.
  • And any other application utilizing heat.

With the Solar Flower being so easy to make and having all those uses. I believe every prepper should have at least one of these around or at least the plans to make one should the SHTF.
