Abstract
A solar evaporator for use with Stirling engines consisting of a dish shape hollow body having wicking containing a vaporizable liquid heating medium. The body has a pair of separate chambers to reduce the distance that capillary pressure is required to pump the heating medium and the chambers are thermally coupled by the wicking so that the temperatures in the chambers is at all times equalized.
