Here is a good plan and not a scam.
Using this solar collector as your energy source, you can charge an electric car to travel a fair distance (as long as speed isn't an issue). Batteries can be used for night of course.
And, if you set it up with a small engine to run as a back up when power fails then all needs are met really.
Solar power is my favorite option for future use. Wind runs a close second.

For those who may not know, even a nuclear power plant uses the basic idea of water spinning a turbine to generate electricity. I'm not going to play science teacher and explain it all, but if you can make steam then electricity is easy.

*hmmm... i could build a solar powered rum distiller, now there's a plan!*
*Got more Rum?* "Here, Try This!"
