Abstract:
A wave energy receiving platform installed to track in alignment within a look angle of the sun or a wave energy beaming platform, using holographic windows recorded according to time related positions of the platforms as zone plates to concentrate the wave energy in energy converters, and to columnate light for energy beaming, one embodiment utilizing a circular holographic window for "spot" insolation and a dish-shaped reflector for photovoltaic power assimilation and microwave transmission, a second embodiment utilizing a rectilinear-shaped holographic window for "bar"-shaped beaming and an elongated reflector for photovoltaic power assimilation and microwave transmission, a rectilinear Stirling cycle engine directly operating a rectilinear alternator for generating electrical power, the photovoltaic power synchronized therewith for in-house operation and primary propulsion.
