Amazing work, i always dreamed of a Heliotropism inspired heliostat. Although i always imagined it to be a more hydraulic and less mechanical device. Still great to see, that you are following through with the idea!
The Solarflower is an open source solar energy collector which can be made very easily from common recycled and salvaged materials, using basic tools and skills.
It tracks the sun automatically through a simple non-electrical mechanism, can be made almost anywhere, is portable, has no running costs or emissions, and can produce up to kilowatts of power per device.
Applications include electrical generation, water purification, cooking, bio-char and charcoal, heating, gasification, and whatever else heat can be used for.
