Mirror Setting Jig Method
The angle setting tool allows mirrors to be set in the factory quickly and accurately. (This eliminates dependence on the weather and 2 joints to control the angle of each mirror as is required for hand-eye setting).
Features
- Step by step operating instructions.
- High-res photos of each step.
- Basic Dimensions of mirror setting device.
- Device extremely low-cost to build.
- Hand operated, but could be automated.
- Fast: 30-40 seconds per mirror.
- Accurate: within 1 degree accuracy.
- The values for each mirror position for SFP32 (as seen in video).
- Description of alternative setting mediums (In progress: buyers will receive this update automatically).
- Price: 220 Euro.
Contact us for payment methods or questions.
Mirror Setting Jig CAD
- Parametric CAD of the mirror setting device, DXF and STL.
- Meaning easily change any dimension to the jig and all dependent dimensions will recalculate.
- Price: 120 Euro

Pre-Project Model 72 m^2
There has been some demand to have the model shown in the photos. Truss optimization and other details are yet to be complete, but the model is useful in a pre-project setting and to place within a larger model of the whole application.
After purchasing you can automatically download a zip file containing a DXF and STL version of the model. It should be noted that there is no colors outside the native program used to create the parametric CAD, and that this model is not parametric.
- All the mirrors are positioned correctly for a sun angle of 45 degrees.
- Rods attach mirrors to the rows.
- Price 50 Euro.

Applications
The basic application of a Solar Fire machine is to heat an oven or produce high pressure saturated steam.
Steam is particularly interesting as it can simply be attached to an existing steam system. If the pressure in the system drops below a certain point (clouds, haze, etc.) a fuel fed boiler can provide extra power.
Examples of such systems are absorption cooler, refining edible oils, refining sugar, roasting, cooking, and a myriad of medium heat industrial processes. See the Payback calculator to get an idea of how the system would pay for itself.
However, with the high temperatures of Solar Fire (over 700 C) the above heat applications can be powered by the waste heat of a more sophisticated application adding significant value to the setup.
Steam Engine
TinyTech Plants can provide steam engines from 2 to 50 horse power.
Steam Engines work well under variable load and are robust against stalling, as the piston acts as a pneumatic ram at low revolutions.
Since there is no internal combustion but constant supply of steam pressure, much lower revolutions provide the same torque which reduces wear. Likewise, since there are no soot particles introduced in the engine does not become dirty and is extremely durable, much more durable than the internal combustion engine. Otherwise, an internal combustion engine and a steam engine are much the same and most of the parts are already massed produced and any mechanic could maintain one.
See the video in overview page for demonstration of Solar Fire running a steam engine.

SWEE Technologies are currently working on a solar powered demonstration and larger models, eventually up to 50 Kw.
3D CAD and Truss Engine
We can provide 3D models tailored to the material constraints and scale required.
The model includes:
The mirrors positioned and oriented precisely.
All pieces can be re-dimensioned for material and scale required.
Mirror angles are optimized to reflect a maximum onto the boiler throughout the day (a best fit optimization).
Power profile can be calculated with error analysis included.
Preferred tracking strategy can be modelled.
Truss design tailored to your material and preferences.
