interesting. one problem with using a lens, UV aside, is that it has to be moved continuously to follow the Sun and keep the focus, and that did put me to thinking of a parabolic reflector as i used for my experimental parabolic trough charcoal oven, because it only needs aligned E/W to work.

more interesting then with your link is that they indicate that a parabolic reflector diffuses the UV, and an eliptical reflector focuses it. mmmmm....

it's late & will get to rest of links tomorrow. thnx.
