Summary
Concept Crafted Creations has made a solar generator that is visually inspired by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
The design uses mirrors to collect and harness solar energy by focusing sunlight on a water-filled aluminum plate; the whole assembly can track the movement of the sun.
The generator delivers around 1kW of heat to the water passing through the system, heating it to approximately 44C.
The creator states that it is not as efficient as a photovoltaic array, and that photovoltaic is the best option for producing solar energy quickly.
However, the video also suggests that solar thermal could be a concept worth further exploration.
