I have a potential application for solar concentrating power. It involves an intermitten use for the steam produced. However I am not knowledgable enough about the details to determine the feasibility of the project. I am looking for someone to talk to. Can anyone point me in the right direction.

If you are hoping to make money from your idea, e.g. by getting a patent and selling manufacturing rights, don't reveal anything publicly.  Get a local mechanical engineer to look at it.  You might want to talk with your attorney first, and get an NDA for the engineer to sign.

If you have some other way of profiting from the idea, or don't care to, you can open a discussion right here.
