Abstract:
1. A solar radiation collector system, comprising: means for ground support coupled with an open gimbal with a rim configured for rotatably supporting the gimbal at a given orientation from the ground, the means for ground support including a first means for rotatably suspending and capturing the gimbal rim with flexible devices under tension, and providing three dimensional stability and including second means for raising, lowering and changing orientation of the gimbal; structural means for carrying at least one radiation transducer device connected with the gimbal; a device for receiving solar radiation directed to it by at least one radiation transducer element; first means for imparting rotational movement to the gimbal to effect a desired primary tracking motion to adjust for an apparent daily motion of the sun; and second means for moving the structural devices carrying at least one radiation transducer device to provide for a second dimension adjustment for an apparent seasonal motion of the sun.
