1 11/16/09

2 Light Bulbs are Being Used in Homes During Daylight Hours While Sunlight is “Wasted” On the Floor An Economical, User Friendly Way to Use This Sunlight is Needed

3 Redirect Sunlight To Desired Location Using Solar-Tracking Mirrors - Only Get What Comes Through Windows “Pipe” Light Using Fiber-Optics - Expensive, Not User Friendly

4 2 Axis Movement Mirror Collects Sunlight From Window and Reflects it on Ceiling for Diffusion Pedestal or Bracket Mounted Depending on Application User Decided Light Beam Angle Possibly Self Powered Solar Tracking Design Will be Decided Later

5 Basic Design Concept

6 -Venetian Blinds Style Mirrors -More User Friendly, Take Up Less Space

7 Depends on Design Initial Costs Are For: (2) Stepper Motors $80 (1) HCS08 $35 (1) Mirror $10-$20 (1) Possible Photovoltaic $30 Pedestal or Bracket Material $20

8 Brainstorming and Researching Concept Designs for Both Ideas Will Be Finished After Thanksgiving Break Idea Will Be Chosen Within a Week of Concept Design Finalization Perceived Hardest Part is Calculating Tracking and User Input Angle in Code
