ABSTRACT:
A system of mirrors which focuses solar radiation onto a receiver by means of controlled flexural deformations of supporting beams using controls which tilt the mirrors with respect to the beams. This combination of flexure and tilt causes the mirrors to track the sun using an inexpensive system of controls. The use of cables, of parts which can have shorter ranges of operation and of fewer controls than conventional heliostats all contribute to cost reductions.
