wait a minute Wizisme, you built that ?
That would actually mean you arenīt a total nitwit


Nah m8, iīm just screwing with ya,
thatīs actually really cool, mind spilling the beans on what you do for a living, or what your studying ?
Yes sir, aside from the parts that are obviously manufactured, that is all my design and craftsmanship. Basically, the arm that protrudes from the flowerhead-looking thing has light sensors on it. These light sensors tell the motors to move toward the brighest point light in the sky (which is usually the sun, but sometimes seemingly random on cloudy days) in real-time.

When I attached photovoltaics to the center of the device, enough power was generated to run the entire system, so it was completely self-sustaining. Also, the photovoltaics produced about 3x more power mounted on the device than sitting on the tabletop.

Toward the end of my studies (just before my thesis was due) I did research on storage tanks. I used a much larger flowerlike apparatus, with a bunch of coiled plumbing in the center, and was able to heat water -on a 22°C day- to 112°C (obviously under pressure). And this was without the adjustment motors.

I am actually on the patent!

As far as my current status. I am a part-time MBA/MSEE student and my full-time job is an HVAC Engineer
