Solar concentrator on equatorial mount, short version!

The crucial thing about this is that the heat collector or cooking pot stays in one place all the time and the center of gravity stays the same during the seasons so that the equatorial mount is always balanced.
If it is balanced it is easy to turn.
I think this has many advantages.

Thank you. I think I will make a better model in the next few days. (This one had to move to show how only the angle is different depending on where you live). So expect a really short video very soon.

They should have taken some of the money for the bail out and given it to you where it would have done some good. As always keep up the good work.
