Simple Solar Tracker (SST)

The SST is a simple, but highly accurate, tracking system to keep photovoltaic panels or other sun energy receivers oriented accurately to obtain highest possible receiver efficiency.

Description:

The SST simply consists of small photovoltaic panels, a shadow board, and small double pole-single throw relays to drive the receiver’s aiming motors.

Skyscrapers to harness the energy of rain

This idea provides two benefits simultaneously - it produces free electricity and reduces flooding and erosion.

The idea is to put large rain-storage tanks on the roofs of skyscrapers. Then hours or days after a rain storm, the water would flow to ground level through a pipe with a water turbine to generate electricity.
