An old water heater was donated to my high school's pre-engineering class. After watching an episode of "The Cosmos," in which a farm of parabolic solar concentrators were used to heat water in order to power a steam engine that irrigated water, I was inspired to recycle the old water heater and turn it into a concentrated solar water heater.
Research
Before starting to design my concentrated solar water heater I researched what some other people hade made. Th

Project goal
Recycle a old household water heater and an old school chair and turn them into a parabolic concentrated solar water heater
Project steps:
- Model full scale design
- Model and build a 3-D printed small scale prototype
- Test effectiveness of design based on prototype
- Build full scale solar concentrator
