Patent and Trade Mark Office Abstract A geometric dome comprises a number of interconnected members which are arranged at specific angles. The geometric dome is excellent in strength due to the angular configuration of each member. One member of the dome is in the form of a convex lens and the rest of the dome is made up of two-way mirrors with the planes of the mirrors facing internally of the geometric dome. Sunlight is concentrated and directed to pass through the convex lens of the geometric dome. As concentrated sunlight passes through the convex lens, the light will be spread out internally of the geometric dome. Solar cells are arranged to face each other and receive light internally of the geometric dome, by means of the convex lens. |
