Actively Focused Heliostat with Mechanically Coupled Shape Change
This invention is a heliostat that has its toroidal reflector continuously altered through the day. A simple mechanical coupling is used to change the reflector shape over the course of the day. Dual-axis mounts were found to maximize capability. In this way, the heliostat realizes the highest possible concentration of sunlight. This model also reduces...

Dual-Axis Tracker Using Lightweight Spaceframe Structures
This technology is a dual-axis tracker that is used in combination with a dish reflector to be used within a heliostat. The technology uses an azimuth structure that allows free vertical motion up and down the rotation axis and a full rotational motion about the axis. Background: Heliostats are commonly used within renewable energy and solar products....
