  • what about something like an inverted logarithmic spiral ?

  • I do not know.

    I do not think you can get enough solar concentration with it.

    I think your spiral needs to be shrinking in 3 dimensions.

    Perhaps you can look into it?

    Thank you

  • It would look something like an involute cut thru a donut then, sorry, I was thinking a trough shape (2D) with the spiral.

  • Thanks for the vid. I think this might be useful for one of my physics projects. Thanks again
