Abstract
A solar energy collector having concave mirrors shaped as troughs of parabolic cross-section with a longitudinal pivotal axis enabling them to be aimed at the sun and having, at intervals, connecting members for maintaining at the mirror focus a heat receiving tube of small diameter by comparison with the mirror aperture. A dusttight and moisturetight transparent chamber isolates both the receiving tube and the surface of the mirror from the surrounding atmosphere.
