APPLICATION OF NEODYMIUM MAGNETS IN A LOW-COST PARABOLIC CONCENTRATOR FOR SCHOOLS

Abstract

The objective of this article is to contribute, through bibliographic research, on the application of parabolic concentrators with neodymium magnet motors for application in schools. This study presents the fundamentals of the construction of a parabolic concentrator with permanent magnets, in order to serve the school public in the period of cold climates in the period of the school year of educational institutions. An attempt was made to analyze the existing instruments to deal with energy savings as well as the issue of the use of energy in water heating. This theme was chosen, after the importance it is made, due to the need to improve the conditions of thermal comfort in schools, as well as energy savings for the institution with the use of renewable energies, adapting to the UN 2030 agenda, at the end of the study the effectiveness of the use of parabolic concentrators with permanent magnets was verified,  with advantages relative to solar panels.
