For some months I have been watching interesting YouTube videos from сергей юрко of Ukraine who, over the last two years, has built an impressively sized (58 sq. m of mirrors) east-west oriented concentrating solar trough heater.
Sergiy uses the array to provide heat for a home in winter and a swimming pool in summer in Mirgorod, Poltava region, Ukraine, about 50N latitude. In this video, he provides an English explanation of his steam demonstration.
In this video from about a year ago, he gives an overview. His previous videos are in Russian.
He uses strips of salvaged glass mirror attached to a clever stationary frame. Note the simple locking height adjusters that allow tilting the frame to match the seasons without using motorized tracking.
I was surprised and pleased to see his English videos as Sergiy Yurko. This is new. Sergiy is still adding to his Russian videos like this one from a week ago.
Note that he shows my work in his intro at 0:09-0:11!
Thanks for your interest.

I tried to contact Sergey Yurko about his collectors. I have my own systems..He is younger ...I am 78 yrs old.
I am an ex-teacher in teachers colleges. ...retired.
I wonder if he would be interested to contact me... also at " samcamtwins@yahoo.com"
I am now busy in transportation...but as soon as possible will move to desalination in Egypt using solar ...
I believe in multi-discipline solutions to problems .

How do I contact sergiy yurko. Please share his contact information on parimalprmr@gmail.com
I am not in contact with him. Send him a message from his YouTube video?
I have recently been interested in your blog posts about the trough concentrator of Sergiy Yurko. I too am the inventor or new trough solar concentrators. I would also like to contact Sergiy to ask him some questions about his system. I don't know how to contact someone thru their YouTube posts. If you will answer me you can contact me at jseeaz1@yahoo.com
Thank you,

Hi George,
Have you ever been able to get in touch with Sergiy? My company would like to help him leave Ukraine and finance future R&D. Please let me know if you can get in touch with him. Thank you!

I am not in touch with him.
Have you tried to write to him through YouTube?
Good Luck
