Abstract: A radiator unit for radiating heat from a heat source into space. The radiating unit includes an inflatable radiating panel comprising a plurality of inflatable tubes inflated with and adapted to contain and permit a circulation through the plurality of inflatable tubes of a low mass gas, a sufficient quantity of low mass gas to inflate said plurality of inflatable tubes and a blower unit for forcing the circulation of said low mass gas through the heat source and said plurality of inflatable tubes.

Abstract: A solar powered turbine driven electric generator system. The system generates electrical power by collecting solar energy through the surfaces of an inflatable solar energy collector structure. The collected heat boils a working fluid contained inside the collector structure, generating pressurized vapor. The pressurized vapor drives a turbine/generator, generating electrical power. After the vapor crosses the turbine the excess heat in the vapor is radiated to space, condensing the vapor back to liquid, which is recycled to the collector structure. This form of power system can be scaled to higher levels of power generation in nearly a linear manner by increasing the surface area of the collectors, radiator area, and the capacity of the turbine and generator.
