A senior design project for aerospace/mechanical engineers. The solar tracking array prototype consists of three phototransistors mounted into a moveable wooden panel and a motorized hinge mounted onto a mockup of the Akoya nanosatellite.
When turned on, the motor drives the mock solar panel through a full arc, recording the greatest input to the phototransistors, then retraces the arc until its readings match that point again.

Vanessa interviewed Mike from Patriot Solar Group, and he shared with us that they are manufacturers of acrylic plastic surfaces and concentrated solar photovoltaics (CSP), both materials for solar thermal systems. Patriot Solar Group’s acrylic plastic surfaces is a good alternative to the conventional reflective surfaces in the market that often utilize an aluminum, glass, or heavy material as the backing and reflective surface on the top, and this translates to heavy labor. Patriot Solar Group utilizes aluminum and zinc as their backing; however, that same backing functions as the reflective surface since the coating on top is a transparent plastic surface.
The company also offers concentrated photovoltaics. Being showcased at their booth were a series of clear boxes, and in each box, there is a cell. Within the cells, there is an element known as gallium arsenide which is a very efficient semi-conductor. Furthermore, Patriot Solar Group also offers a tracking system to make their CSPs function at an optimum level. Their ideal clients are usually those that find space as an issue including utility and telemarketing companies.

BUGS /// KÄFER – bugs, errors and weird behaviors –
The idea:
“Bugs” are errors in softwares. They occur unexpectedly and get eliminated with debugging routines. But software errors can also provoke unusual and interesting results. Those misfits can sometimes be guided and reintegrated into the original programming to produce a striking and novel effect. Coincidence here helps to create what could not be planned. So “bugs” can have positive attributes. They are not wanted initially but break their way into life anyways, uncontrolled and often inspiring.
The “millennium bug” caused a stir at the turn of the millennium. It was a synonym for the the unexpected, the unknown, the undefined and the uncertain of the time to come. The image of the “bug” as error and variable of the program will be the metaphor for this interactive installation. The user is encouraged to play with the bugs and by doing so create new bugs and variables in the software.
Everyone has probably once tried to influence and guide bugs or ants by putting small obstacles in their path. If you cross the path with a finger or hold it above to drop a shadow onto the path, the ants will not cross this virtual barrier and move around it. The same way the users will naturally interact with the “BUGS” installation.
The installation/interaction:
When a visitor approaches the “BUGS” installation he will see different projected bugs sitting on the surfaces of the abstract ant-hill object. They seem to enjoy the digital sun. From time to time they stretch a leg or wing, but otherwise remain motionless. If the visitor puts a hand above the installation landscape, he drops a shadow on it. If the shadow touches a bug, the bug wakes up and starts to move. The bugs try to avoid the visitors shadows and do not cross them. If they reach the border of a shadow they will turn to the side and crawl alongside the shadow. By using their shadows, the visitors can guide the bugs to a certain direction.
When a bug reaches the highest peak of the ant-hill object, it triggers a random variation in the software. This variation affects the attributes of the bugs and the look of the projected ant-hill. This way the bugs cause unpredictable modifications in their control software, like a software bug normally does.

Well… I sorry about the blurry resolution in some of these pictures (I should be banned from video editing until I learn a few things and get some decent software), but I wanted to share this track with you. It’s my second attempt at jazz, and more in the chillout persuasion. I’ll be using this buzzmachine software more and more in the future as I am being bit by the tracker bug.
(Me thinks, I should just hop on Soundcloud from now on)…

See its nice design like bug and it tracking performance.
It uses a linear path tracking algorithm.

i am studying a project before building it in the near future, so which one should i consider the ls7 and then supercharge it or should i go directly for the ls9, (note: S/C ls7 can easily reach 700 plus horsepower), the project will be mainly track use and rarely street used.
don’t listen to vipassan he apparently lacks understanding.. and why wouldn’t a supercharged LS7 be street legal? just ignorance..
anyways man your a little off.. if your looking to make 700+ horsepower it would be alot cheaper to go ahead and buy an aftermarket motor and build it yourself.. aftermarket being LSX, Warhawk, LS Race, or even a Dart Billet.. example
No one here is an absolute expert.. alot of us have experience with those applications but i can tell you right now highest horsepower LS motor i’ve done was a 650hp 5.3l vortec /w lunati rotating assembly, wiseco pistons, and rotrex c38 supercharger.. I advise you to call Lunati as they can tell you what you need to do to reach your goals.. and the best part is they will tell you if you need their stuff or not.. twice they have told me to go with eagle for cheaper builds.. so give lunati a call and they can help you with every aspect of your engine
Right now, I have Tren Micro, which is great because they do not charge a fee for help if you have a virus and have to call them.
I was just wondering if there were any better software out there. I’ve got some bugs in my CPU, but, my software is not catching all of it when I do a full system scan.
Thanks!
