A team of students of MIT conducted a test using a prototype which can be the world most efficient solar power system in the world (if it becomes a reality). The system consists of 12-foot-wide mirrored dish which is made up of lightweight frame of thin, inexpensive aluminum tubing and strips of mirror, concentrates sunlight by a factor of 1,000 which can even melt a steel bar. Connected to the end of a 12-foot-long aluminum tube rising is a black-painted coil of tubing that has water running through it and when the dish is pointing directly at the sun, the water in the coil flashes immediately into steam. According to team members who invented this system it has the potential of revolutionizing global energy production.
