An modular, inflatable, multifunction, multipurpose, parabolic reflector
apparatus having a plurality of manufactured parabolic mirrors made from
a pressure-deformable reflective covering of an inflatable ring for
focusing electromagnetic energy from radio frequency radiation (RF)
through the ultraviolet radiation (UV) and solar energy for (1) heating
and cooking, for (2) electrical power generation, for (3) enhancing the
transmission and reception of radio signals, for (4) enhancing vision in
low-light environments, and for (5) projection of optical signals or
images. The device also has non-electromagnetic uses, such as the
collection of water. A first main embodiment utilizes two reflective
membranes. A second main embodiment utilizes a reflective membrane and a
transparent membrane. Portability is enhanced by complete collapsing of
the inflatable device.
