Had an idea on my google plus awhile back and thought it belonged here. A recent development at Rice University is their development of a steam producing nano catalyst that makes steam from water without making the temperature reach boiling. This allows for low temperature steam creation from sunlight. Expose to sun and the catalyst creates steam at ambient temperatures. If a low weight graphite composed Tesla Turbine were combined with this you would have a solar powered turbine that ran off sunlight! The Tesla turbine is an old invention that can use very low temp and preasure steam because it is a diffrent type of turbine than the traditional ones (it is bladeless) it uses the boundary effect with the adhesion and viscosity on the rotors.

Stirling engine!
runs off of any heat source including sunlight and BODY HEAT! Any fuel that burns runs the engine!

Nitinol heat engine! free energy CNN 1982!
In 1982 CNN had on a motor that could run on the diffrence between a hot and cold part of the machine. Similar to a Stirling engine but with way more torque and strength. This is the Nitinol Heat Engine. Lots of videos on utube! It can be made any size and run on sunlight! also called a thermobile! NO REASON AT ALL why it is not used for solar power plants!
