Solar powered heat engine to power tools including electricity generator for rural villages.

**问题**：发展中国家的农村小农需要一种能源或马达，这种能源或马达具有低成本的购买价格，并且易于利用村庄资源进行维护。这在没有干线电力的村庄至关重要--SDG7。光伏电力是提供这种电力的一种选择，但不能在村庄中维持，如果损坏，可能会发生灾难性的故障。光伏发电的效率只有15%乌干达只有58%的\[https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS?locations=UG\]人没有连接到网络。**愿景：**整个项目将有一个多学科团队来设计创新的太阳能捕集器，以运行一台小型发电机、1kW或其他设备。这将具有从制造到日常使用的非常低的碳足迹，并且是可持续的。**主要产出**这项可行性研究将是一个项目的框架，以生产能够提供扭矩发电的最低可行产品。这将涉及下一代太阳能发电。将关注低成本、易于制造、只需简单生产设备并能适应工程制造能力有限的国家的生产的设计。将研究模块化设计的使用，以使其能够使用简单的标准化部件。这将降低制造成本，并允许灵活地生产不同的产品，包括技术生产、业务盈利能力、投入和产出的供应链管理、营销和销售。

**Problem**: Rural smallholders in developing countries need an energy source or motor which has a low-cost purchase price and is simple to maintain with village resources. This is vital in villages that have no mains electricity -- SDG7\. Photovoltaic electricity is an option for such provision, but cannot be maintained in a village and is liable to catastrophic failure if damaged. PV is only 15% efficientOnly 58% \[https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS?locations=UG\] of people in Uganda are not connected to the network.**Vision:** The full project will have a multi-disciplinary team to design innovative solar energy capture to n run a small electrical generator, 1Kw, or other equipment. This will have a very low carbon footprint from manufacture to daily use and be sustainable.**Principal Output of** this feasibility study will be a framework for a project to produce a minimum viable product that can provide torque to generate electricity.This will involve next generation solar power.Attention will be given to designs that are low cost, easy to manufacture, require simple production equipment and can be adapted for production in countries with limited engineering manufacturing capability.The use of a modular design will be investigated to enable the use simple standardised components. This will reduce the manufacturing costs and allow flexibility for the production of differentTechnical production, business profitability, supply chain management for both inputs and outputs, marketing and sales will be examined.
