Carbon dioxide a new technology of the resolution and the solar furnace use is developed because of the light of the sun.

It resolves it to unstable iron oxide (FeO) and oxygen as a mechanism by heating iron oxide in the solar furnace. It is resolved (Oxygen and the carbon are refined) by the process with which the FeO unites with carbon dioxide. The technology of this solar furnace is application of the technology of the solar furnace described in the research result report in fiscal year 2006 of WERC, and the formal nomenclature is "Production of a large-scale solar furnace and development (PDF) of the hydrogen processing technology using the solar heat energy. "The solar furnace where the sun light was able to be used as energy for several years was developed in WERC. The feature and the advantage of the solar furnace are as follows.

*A clean, unlimited sun light can be used.

*The high temperature of 3000 degrees or less can be comparatively facilitated.

*Mixing impurities can heat the object in few, arbitrary the atmosphere, and it cool.

Use has and, of course, it also has the weak point such as controlling the weather.

The generation of hydrogen that resolves the refinement and the water of iron oxide is executed in the experiment the link ahead, and it reaps the benefit respectively. The mechanism that the electric motor is synchronized with the ring gear is adopted to change the direction of the lens in the examination solar furnace of WERC running after the sun like the sunflower.

It seems that this solar furnace was used from publishing of previous Jiji Press the photograph in the same solar furnace in this carbon dioxide resolution though it is explained that being able the large-scale solar furnace (The lens side is 3.3X3.3 meters) where the output of 10kW2006 year is obtained.

The energy when the material is heated to the high temperature is reflected and the solar furnace is too unpopular as the weather besides can an easy build of the reverberator used, and a technical problem is controlled from the weak point in operation. Extent (It is used for the thermochemistry hydrogen production test) from which the reference concerning the high flux solar furnace of 10Kw is slightly seen in Sandia National Laboratories in the United States in overseas report [NEDO overseas report (PDF)] of NEDO (New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization).

Solar furnace that can receive touch of the sun directly as it is as well as solar battery, and use it. The nature that apologizes to a multi amount is done feeling it like "Man's goof is wiped off in the sun" if the mechanism that the solar furnace is useful for the resolution of carbon dioxide is offered. However, it is true that the belly is not substituted for the back either. I want to expect it of the result of the experiment in the future though the scale is still small.

Though an amateur idea though it is the strongest when can it overlap with the solar battery, and the power generation unit etc. of the type "The electric power is supplied resolving carbon dioxide" two birds a Koku be done if which Michi "Sun pursuit system" has been introduced.
