Potential applications include generating steam, or concentrating PV cells. Looks like a very simple, buildable, well thought out design. Quite a detailed set of instructions on how to build this parabolic trough style solar collector by warping a think flat mirror sheet into a parabola. Lots of detail.
Concentrating solar collectors use shaped mirrors or lens to provide higher temperatures that flat plate collectors. Heliostats are tracking mirrors that reflect solar energy onto a fixed target. This page "concentrates" on providing links, information and plans for Build It Yourself concentrating collectors and heliostats.
Duane's RedRok site is information central for DIY Heliostats and concentrating solar collectors. There are good designs here that can be built on a budget and without exceptional mechanical skills. The site can be a bit of a challenge to find stuff on, but its worth the effort.
These Scheffler heliostats concentrate the sun onto a fixed cooking vessel, or onto a heat storage device that provides for cooking after sunset. This type of concentrator can be built with common materials and ordinary skills. The daily tracking can be by a simple clockwork mechanism, and seasonal tracking can be manual.
