Some of this stuff would be very easy to copy or modify.
This Ukrainian guy has been trying to develop his home brew solar focusing system to power homes on the cheap for the past 10+ years.

Yes. been following his work for over a year now. I am in the process of building my house but hopefully next year I will have more time to work on energy side of things. I plan to build solar collectors similar to the one from videos where you concentrate sunlight using mirrors and heatup oil. If I manage to get good results and warmup the oil to over 100C (400C should be possible), I plan to build sand-battery in the ground.
