Abstract:
In embodiments, a mechanical solar tracker disclosed herein includes a frame, an elevation cam with an elevation cam surface attached to the frame, and a rotation drive mechanically coupled to the frame. A collector carriage is coupled to the rotation drive and configured to rotate circumferentially around a vertical axis. Also, a collector is connected to the collector carriage and a hinge is coupled between the collector and the collector carriage wherein the hinge is configured to rotate the collector about a horizontal plane at a pivot point. Additionally, a cam follower is coupled between the collector and the elevation cam and the cam follower is configured to translate, based on a surface input from the elevation cam surface, rotation of the collector about the pivot point to track the sun's direction, by tracing the elevation cam surface with the cam follower.

Claim (Index 2):
The mechanical solar tracker of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a cam-follower travel rod attached to the collector and configured to rotate with the collector about the pivot point; a cam-follower travel rod sleeve attached to the cam follower and configured to move a distance, q, along the cam-follower travel rod, the minimum q being Q Low  and the maximum q being Q High ; where q is defined as:\n q=Q Low +( Q Low +Q High )* q\u2032;  \n q\u2032=|d\u2212n|/n;  \n d is the number of days from a specified day within a year; and n is the number of days for which cam-follower travel rod is configured to move in a single direction.
