Robotic system to reflect the sun onto a target. Sun simulated by IR led, IR detector on the first head. The "target" is approx. the camera position. Imagine the sun and target are at infinite distance.

  • Solar trackers keep something (like a pv panel) pointed at the sun. A heliostat keeps a reflective surface (like a mirror) at the correct angle to keep the reflected sun on a single spot (like a solar collection box).

    Trackers are easier to build. Heliostats are difficult to build without some kind of processor controlling with multiple sensors.

  • Edmund scientific sells a sun tracker for about $100. but I have not tried it.

  • All i see is something rotating
