Resolved Question: Solar THERMAL system?
I am studying this concept:

Basically, heat is stored as MOLTEN SALT then converted to steam to run a turbine.
1) Table salt or some other salt?
2) Off-the-shelf thermos bottles? I would want flasks that can be carried in a pickup bed.
3) Off-the-shelf turbine combined with a generator? Should be 220v.
4) What is the cost and likely output of a test rig?
