Shroom - the car in your background is tripping me out. The slope angle of that hill makes it seem highly unlikely to drive it down there, the front end is like 2 feet from the lake.

What the hell is going on there?

Easy and fast build..

Thats either the worlds smallest raised planter bed,
the worst job of burying a hooker ever,

or a landing pit for a midget long jump competition.

the worst job of burying a hooker ever,

Shit, i've been busted about the buried hooker. I swear she was about 7, 1 and i had to chop the bitches head off, cut the legs above the knee cap, so i could get the cunt in there.

the road goes parallel with the fence i put up, that car is parked under an overhang/garage on the lake side of that road

I spent today up in New Hampshire getting this thing running and thought I'd share a few pics. I picked up a side project from a professor I'm working with on something else. It's a giant solar concentrator. This one is a 1/3 scale (in length anyway.. the parabola is full size) model for something that's apparently going to be replicated 8000 times and tossed in the Sahara in North Africa. I did the servos that move the trough to track the sun... The part that moves weighs a few tons. There are two servos per trough, and they're based on .5 hp motors attached to a 120:1 planetary gear reducer then a 60:1ish chain drive.

The protective sheets haven't been taken off of the mirrored surface yet, but it'll still burn you pretty quickly on an overcast day.

so cool mangle...I want

[RootSkier]

So what happens...a PV panel will be inserted in the focus point?

[mangle]

Nope, collector tube that flows molten salt.

[RootSkier]

So it's like this type of system?

I built a shelf once:

your stash jar is empty.

So it's like this type of system?

Pretty much, except the collector tube is at the top of the structure of the individual trough. There's no central target.

[EarlyWood]

mangle,
is it just me or have your pics disappeared?

[Skipig25]

nope, they're disappeared for me too

[mangle]

Ah, crap. Will edit.

You were doing it wrong.

You were doing it wrong.

What'd ya mean...I did well...one hand pulling hair, the other varying between mild choking and oil checking

[booner]

I just spent the afternoon at my old employer getting some pics of old projects (started my own biz this year). I figured a good dick wave was in order.

Super nice work, booner.

I am out of the game now, the only thing I will be able to add to this thread in the future is my own small projects.
