Model of a field of a parabolic troughs

Principle

Parabolic mirrors concentrate the light of the sun in a focal point, in which even a piece of paper then burns. Parabolic troughs have a focal line in which tubes, for example, are heated very effectively. In the experiment, a black test tube filled with water and a glass tube are illuminated with a reflector lamp.

Benefits

• Part of a system solution - easily expandable for further experiments
• Simple teaching by using the demo board physics
• Clear test execution by using ADM3 multimeters
