26 October 2006Ain't no sunshine when she's goneBut this will help:
The Suntracker One is an intriguing upgrade on the conventional skylight. Consisting of a 4'x4' acrylic dome, the Suntracker uses three heliostatic mirrors that track the sun and reflect its light down into the building. A prismatic diffusion lens then spreads out the light through interior spaces. The reflective surfaces within the dome are run by a small solar-powered motor. Every ten minutes, the mirrors move to keep up with the sun as it moves across the sky, maximizing natural light in Winter months when days are shorter and the sun's path is closer to the horizon.
This would be nice on days like today when your Florida room looks more like Labrador. (Aside: I know, I know, I know.) Posted at 9:03 AM to Entirely Too Cool |
