Name:
Solar heating unit for geothermal generator
Describtion:
My idea is to use solar power to produce enough heat to provide power to a adjacent geothermal generator.
Basically the sun would heat up oil inside the unit and this oil would be used to provide heat to the geothermal generator since it uses heat to produce power.
In real life large scale solar power plants use highly reflective mirrors to concentrate the suns energy into one big tower or pipes carring oil to produce enough heat to turn water into steam. These mirrors can heat up the oil above 400*C which is hot enough to produce steam for power generation.
Recipe:
The recipe for the solar heating unit follows
G = Glass
F = Fuel Oil (only oil in the game with IC)
R = Refined Iron
A = Advanced Alloy (I think that using it as a highly reflective mirror would be another one of its advanced applications)
G G G
A F A
R A R
