HelioFocus site in Inner Mongolia The collectors remain stable and continue to track

the sun accurately despite the wind

Solar Thermal in Cold and Windy Weather The secret to wind resistance is the opening and Fresnel

Incredible Logistic To get to this point, Eric’s team aligned 700 suppliers

incredible logistics complications brining everything to Inner Mongolia

Yom Tov : All the Way From A Power Point to Power Generation

Eating this poor lamb is part of the deal… (local tradition)

Drinking 40% alcohol is also part of the deal..

Great speech by the Israeli ambassador about cross – cultural collaboration
