Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the history of humanity's attempts to harness the power of sunlight, starting with the earliest recorded instance: the use of burning mirrors by the ancient Greeks to set fire to enemy ships. The author delves into the experiments of 18th-century scientists like Buffon and Saussure, who used mirrors to cook food and generate steam. After tracing the efforts of inventors like Mouchot, Ericsson, and Adams, the book examines the practical applications of solar heat today, from cooking and water purification to generating electricity. The author argues that while solar heat has yet to reach its full potential, it holds vast promise as a clean and renewable energy source. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.

First edition of this scarce pioneering work on solar power, and its' technological and industrial applications. The author details the first U.S. Patent for a solar device by John Hittell and George W. Deitzler of San Francisco, and also believed that solar devices offered farmers freedom from coal, corporate monopolies, and water allocation laws. Also included are details and photos of solar engine at the famed Cawston ostrich farm in South Pasadena which from the 1890s through 1934 operated as a combination tourist attraction, theme park, and retail outlet. Cawston had partnered with the inventor Eneas to set up his Solar Motor Company in Los Angeles, and bought one of the massive machines for $ 2500 to pump water on his farm. This apparatus which resembled a modern radar dish was 33 feet in diameter, lined with 1788 mirrors, and was attached to a track on a supporting tower to be continually trained on the sun.
