  • Radiant energy converter
    Patent number: 4350915
    Abstract: Disclosed is a radiant energy converter which directs concentrated radiant energy in a first direction through or to a plane of limited area. An energy absorbing fluid is passed through the plane in the opposite direction so that the concentrated radiant energy is absorbed directly by the fluid.
