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户需要一种购买价格低廉、易于利用村庄资源维护的能源或发动机。这对没有电力供应的村庄至关重要-SDG 7。光伏发电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。光伏发电效率仅为15%仅为58% \[https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/EG.ELC.ACCS.ZS?位置=UG\]的人在乌干达没有连接到网络。**愿景：** 整个项目将有一个多学科的团队来设计创新的太阳能捕获，以运行一个小型发电机，1千瓦，或其他设备。从制造到日常使用的碳足迹非常低，并且是可持续的。** 本可行性研究的主要成果将是一个项目的框架，以生产一个最小的可行产品，可以提供扭矩发电。这将涉及下一代太阳能发电。将注意力集中在低成本的设计，易于制造，需要简单的生产设备，可以在工程制造能力有限的国家进行生产。使用模块化设计将研究，以使使用简单的标准化组件。这将降低制造成本，并允许灵活地生产不同的技术生产，业务盈利能力，供应链管理的投入和产出，营销和销售将被审查。

**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.
