2 axis biomimetic solar tracker: final iteration

First design rendered in Digital project. It is a pulley system that would be fixed to a lazy susan.

Final Idea. It is a sphere pinned to the lazy susan, the track is on the dome, and runs along a gear. This allows for control of the movement.

The light sensors are on the inside of the sphere. We drilled a pinhole into the top of the sphere to allow the light to come through ( like the eye that was the inspiration. The light is focused onto a single point. The light sensors would be the cones and the wires could be seen as the optic nerves).

After our critique last week, our professors told us to focus more on the mechanics of the solar dome, and focus on getting it to work instead of thinking of a larger setting the trackers could fit into.
