ABSTRACT:
A device for tracking the apparent motion of the sun and reflecting and thereby concentrating rays from the sun to a fixed target area is disclosed. The device is what may be described as a ganged heliostat, an array of heliostats controlled by a single mechanism such that each heliostat is able to redirect rays of the sun toward a common fixed target area over the course of a day and thereby concentrate rays of the sun received over a large area to a much smaller area.
