... maximum output power is much smaller than during autumn. High efficiency thermal engines is recommended to be used in combination with solar collectors kept perpendicular on Sun's rays. When a horizontal solar collector is considered, the dependence of the maximum output power on optimum solar efficiency seems to be ...

This maximum range provides access from the Solar System to a large majority of nearby stellar systems, with total travel ...

... various candidate solar-photon-sail materials is a worthy goal. A review of previous research on partially transmissive metallic sail films for interstellar application reveals that various parameters influence maximum interstellar cruise velocity for given sail materials and thickness. First-order effects are principally due to maximum operational temperature. The square roots of sail areal mass density and wavelength averaged reflectivity and ...

... of a wide range of solar electromagnetic radiation frequencies. Applying the system of Maxwell's equations for linear conducting media the minimum film thickness that provides the maximum reflectance is found and dependence of this minimum thickness on temperature as well as on electromagnetic spectrum of solar radiation is investigated. It is shown ...
