Abstract
We here analyse the geometrical concentrations and the energy gathered by the fixed collector of a solar concentrator, whose curvature is determined by the force of gravity and by a distribution of varable density. These quantities are directly compared with those of concentrators controlled merely by gravity, that is the curvature of which s determined only by the force of gravity. A more realistic analysis than one would have from the energy presumably gathered by the collector during the ten years from 1964 to 1973 is achieved, by utilizing the data on solar radiation collected at the Geophysical and Geodetical Institute of Genoa University in the city of Genoa (44o 24′ 53″ N latitude, 55 m above sea-level).
