=====Actually Build the Available Heat Engine Designs=====
The current lie spread about solar thermal power plants is that they require large amounts of water.
""<img src='http://www.voxsolaris.com/images/SolarStirlingEngine.jpg'>""
The truth is solar thermal has enormous quickly realizable potential with low cost. Water is not neccesary or can be recycled if you
use either air cooling, a cloes system or another technology (like Amtec below). The key technology is the heat engine. A heat
engine converts a temperature differential into work or electricity. Just think beyond steam turbines.
Three types are very promissing and effectively kept of the market.
====1. Free Piston Stirling Engine====
Not new, but made very expensive. Excellent for solar applications. It's nice and simple so where is it?

A complex example of a stirling engine. It can be done much simpler.

====2. Amtec Heat to Electricity Generator====
A suppressed technology (oil driven industry decided to 'go for' Stirling and cut off funding). It converts heat directly
into electricity though a Alkaline Metal Thermo-Electrische Cell (hence AMTEC). Do not mistake it for thermal diodes. It is kept
close to nuclear technology where it [[http://www.wmsym.org/archives/2003/pdfs/391.pdf is proposed to utilize waste energy]] but it could be used for solar thermal applications just as well.
'Results show that the overall conversion efficiency of parabolic dish/AMTEC system could reach
up to 20.6% with a power output of 18.54 kW corresponding to an operating temperature of 1280 K.' from [[http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6V1T-4X9630G-3&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&_docanchor=&view=c&_searchStrId=1149048849&_rerunOrigin=google&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0&_userid=10&md5=ff82de247e8f406884e58dca25e7468f this]].
