Hello, looking for help designing building/testing and implementing an idea,
I have been thinking about using cheap flat panel magnifying lenses on a hinge and pivot, that track the sun, and then having a fiber optic at the focal point, and then having multiple fiber optics terminate at the same location, and have them hit a prism, splitting into the spectrum.
After the light is split into its component colors, I would like to test different panels for each color. Once panels are found for each spectra, an ideal panel could be grown.
ps. a side benefit would be that the heat would be concentrated to a small area for thermionic cells or solar hot water
roughed out a sketch in gimp
