Here are some links and information I found to
be very valuable in the journey to develop heliostats and solar trackers.

Owned by Duane C. Johnson. This
is one of my favorite web sites. There is a plethora of links and information
to be explored here about all things alternative energy. A must visit site! |
| www.builditsolar.com |
A great site about everything solar. A must see!

| www.otherpower.com |
A group of alternative
energy enthusiasts who want to spread the message that It's EASY to make
your own power FROM SCRATCH! Otherpower.com's headquarters is located in
a remote part of the Northern Colorado mountains, 15 miles past the nearest
power pole or phone line. All of our houses and shops run on only solar,
wind, water and generator power... |
| Heliostat

A very informative paper comparing
azimuth-elevation heliostats to spinning-elevation heliostats (also called
target-aligned, target-axis or receiver-axis heliostats). |
| US Patent #4192289 |
This is the U.S. patent issued
in 1978 that has almost identical mechanics to our design. The bisector for the solar sensor is a spring loaded cable and pulley setup whereas ours uses nylon gears. |
| US Patent #4586488 |
This is the U.S. patent issued
in 1986 that has similar mechanics to our design. |
