Abstract
Abstract A solar unit comprising a solar energy concentrator with a reflecting surface made of flat facets, and a rotatable solar energy receiver disposed in a solar spot of said concentrator, test objects being mounted on said receiver. The solar energy receiver may be made in the form of a polyhedron or a disk.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 5
Claim 1
Independent Claim
176 words
A solar unit for intermittently subjecting a test object to solar energy in the form of pulse radiation, comprising: a solar energy concentrator having a parabolic reflecting surface made of flat facets which concentrate solar energy as a beam in a focal spot of said parabolic reflecting surface; a rotatable solar energy receiver disposed substantially at said focal spot and supported by said energy concentrator; means extending from and supported by said energy concentrator for securingly supporting and holding said solar energy receiver at a fixed distance and disposition from said energy concentrator; means provided in said energy receiver for mounting a test object on said receiver in order to eradiate said test object intermittently with the concentrated solar energy; and a variable means of setting of said solar energy receiver in rotation for bringing said test object in liNe with said beam once every revolution of said receiver, whereby the test object may be exposed to a required frequency of pulse radiation by a suitable choice of the speed of rotation of said energy receiver.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
176 words
A solar unit for intermittently subjecting a test object to solar energy in the form of pulse radiation, comprising: a solar energy concentrator having a parabolic reflecting surface made of flat facets which concentrate solar energy as a beam in a focal spot of said parabolic reflecting surface; a rotatable solar energy receiver disposed substantially at said focal spot and supported by said energy concentrator; means extending from and supported by said energy concentrator for securingly supporting and holding said solar energy receiver at a fixed distance and disposition from said energy concentrator; means provided in said energy receiver for mounting a test object on said receiver in order to eradiate said test object intermittently with the concentrated solar energy; and a variable means of setting of said solar energy receiver in rotation for bringing said test object in liNe with said beam once every revolution of said receiver, whereby the test object may be exposed to a required frequency of pulse radiation by a suitable choice of the speed of rotation of said energy receiver.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
176 words
A solar unit for intermittently subjecting a test object to solar energy in the form of pulse radiation, comprising: a solar energy concentrator having a parabolic reflecting surface made of flat facets which concentrate solar energy as a beam in a focal spot of said parabolic reflecting surface; a rotatable solar energy receiver disposed substantially at said focal spot and supported by said energy concentrator; means extending from and supported by said energy concentrator for securingly supporting and holding said solar energy receiver at a fixed distance and disposition from said energy concentrator; means provided in said energy receiver for mounting a test object on said receiver in order to eradiate said test object intermittently with the concentrated solar energy; and a variable means of setting of said solar energy receiver in rotation for bringing said test object in liNe with said beam once every revolution of said receiver, whereby the test object may be exposed to a required frequency of pulse radiation by a suitable choice of the speed of rotation of said energy receiver.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
176 words
A solar unit for intermittently subjecting a test object to solar energy in the form of pulse radiation, comprising: a solar energy concentrator having a parabolic reflecting surface made of flat facets which concentrate solar energy as a beam in a focal spot of said parabolic reflecting surface; a rotatable solar energy receiver disposed substantially at said focal spot and supported by said energy concentrator; means extending from and supported by said energy concentrator for securingly supporting and holding said solar energy receiver at a fixed distance and disposition from said energy concentrator; means provided in said energy receiver for mounting a test object on said receiver in order to eradiate said test object intermittently with the concentrated solar energy; and a variable means of setting of said solar energy receiver in rotation for bringing said test object in liNe with said beam once every revolution of said receiver, whereby the test object may be exposed to a required frequency of pulse radiation by a suitable choice of the speed of rotation of said energy receiver.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
61 words
A solar unit according to claim 1, wherein said solar energy receiver is made in the form of a rotatable polyhedron, each of whose faces, during rotation of the polyhedron, traverses successively said focal spot of said concentrator so as to be exposed successively to said beam, a plurality of test objects being mounted on the polyhedron on each face thereof.
