Embodiment Construction

[0046]Before explaining the disclosed embodiment of the present invention in detail it is to be understood that the invention is not limited in its application to the details of the particular arrangement shown since the invention is capable of other embodiments. Also, the terminology used herein is for the purpose of description and not of limitation.

The Solar Heater Apparatus:

[0047]FIG. 1 shows a perspective view of one embodiment of the solar heater apparatus 10. The general shape of this solar heater apparatus embodiment is a spherical flask. This apparatus has an apparatus opening 33 and a base 12 to help serve as a self-supporting structure to stabilize the apparatus when it is resting on a surface.

[0048]FIG. 1B shows a top view of the solar heater apparatus 10 marked for cross-section A-A that is used in FIG. 2 and FIG. 4.

[0049]FIG. 2 shows a cross-sectional view of the solar collector apparatus 10 comprising a flask shaped inner container 21 and a similarly flask shaped oute...

Abstract

The solar heater apparatus disclosed comprises an inner container and an outer container each having an opening forming a mouth. The inner container is contained within the outer container and has on its outside surface a solar-selective coating optimized to absorb a large fraction of the incident solar radiation while reradiating little of the absorbed energy. The two containers are joined creating one unified apparatus with a reservoir, an opening and a void between the two containers. The void is evacuated to reduce the heat loss due to thermal conduction from the inner container and the contents of the reservoir. In operation, the reservoir is filled with material and exposed to the sun. The solar radiation from the sun penetrates the outer container and is absorbed by the solar-selective coating and, by conduction, passes thermal energy through the inner container into the apparatus reservoir heating the reservoir contents.
