Means for activating hydraulic motors

Claim 2

Means for activating hydraulic motors, said means comprising: (a) at least one power generating means for generating power from sunlight, said power generating means including a solar heat absorbing means having a hollow interior, including a quantity of heat absorbing expandable gas within said hollow interior of said solar heat absorbing means, including reflector means for allowing sunlight to be directed against substantially all portions of said solar heat absorbing means, including coolant spray means for spraying a liquid coolant over said solar heat absorbing means when the temperature of said quantity of heat absorbing expandable gas within said hollow interior of said solar heat absorbing means is above a set amount, including support means for supporting said solar heat absorbing means and said reflector means, and including a thermostat device for sensing the temperature of said quantity of heat absorbing expandable gas within said hollow interior of said solar heat absorbing means and for controlling the flow of liquid coolant through said coolant spray means, said support means including a gimbal-like device for allowing said solar heat absorbing means and said reflector means to be positioned so as to receive the maximum effect of the sun's rays; (b) hydraulic pump means connected to said power generating means for using the power generated by said power generating means to pump hydraulic fluid; (c) tank means connected to said hydraulic pump means for receiving and storing the hydraulic fluid pumped by said hydraulic pump means, said tank means including means for maintaining the hydraulic fluid under a constant pressure; and (d) means for allowing the hydraulic fluid stored within said tank means to selectively pass to a hydraulic motor whereby the hydraulic motor is activated.
