After reading your goals, I would like to contribute my idea on desert energy production. THe idea is to run a four inche line from the ocean to a few miles inland. THe four inck line woud be supported in the air at a line parallel to the travel of the sun. Behnd the four inch water line with the ocean flowing through it is a reflector arranged such that the full eneegy at any one time is reflected onto the four inch line holding water. That water asorbs the heat/energy of the light, and as the water moves down the pipe driven by a motor, it absorbs more and more energy. At some point the water begins to boil. If the pressure rises, the boiling point will be retarded. I haven't thought about this for a couple years, but at the end of the four inch pipe filled with water asorbing the heat of the Sun as it travels from one end to the other end, energy is stored in the water for free. So what we end up with is a water at a significant pressure and much higher that the boiling point of the water. And all we have to do is figure out what to do with this Distilled Water. Oh, the thing can be made out of PVC instead of stainless steel I would like to congradulate you on your efforts.
