Solar Furnace
Product Code : JA-EE-7232
The Solar Furnace (SKU JA-EE-7232) concentrates sunlight with a 305 mm diameter parabolic reflective dish onto a copper receptacle, where materials can be heated to high temperatures. The mirror has a focal length of 24 cm. It shows students how much energy sunlight carries when it is collected over an area and focused. This solar furnace is supplied by JaincoLab for physics and environmental science lessons on solar energy.
Specifications
The parabolic dish is 305 mm across with a 24 cm focal length, and the copper receiver collects the concentrated heat. Placing the receptacle at the focus of the dish gives the strongest heating; moving it away shows how quickly the effect falls off.
