That is very very nice work! Thanks for sharing this!
[2012-04-14 19:38:47] MrItaliantim - (: Nice work!(: Nice work!
[2012-04-09 19:30:29] harshmoom - pls can i get ...pls can i get details of how to make this project work ? pls mail me details about this if possible my email id is harshmoom@gmail.com
[2012-04-03 23:05:44] garlandkr - would it be ideal ...would it be ideal to have it periodically rotate to find the greatest source of light, perhaps every 15minutes or so.

[2012-03-18 03:48:53] XBCShadow - Add another joint ...Add another joint on top of the first servo so add a second axis of movement, the sun moves up and down a lot and having it at a 45 degree angle stops you from getting more power during the peak time

[2012-03-08 18:24:16] STAahmed - This is a great ...This is a great Video...... do You Want to Build your Own solar panels ??? commercial Solar panels are too Expensive !!!!1 Now What to do ??? Dont worry their is an Engineer Fron Chicago, who can Explain it All.... want his website ??? just go to Google and search for.... "ToP DiY SolaR Panels" click the First Result (Skip The Advertisement) Good Luck...

[2012-03-01 06:21:01] bardionjacob - @JoeydeLeon Sorry ...@JoeydeLeon Sorry for this late response. You are right dude. This is the best solar panel ive ever had. I am encouraging all to take advantage of these energy saving panel at the site: GreenEnergyNow.info I feel so good on helping the environment and provides a very important & beneficial service to people..:)
[2012-02-29 22:27:20] luwe1 - Depending on the ...Depending on the night, It goes out on the town for dinner, drinks, or maybe even a movie.
[2012-02-29 20:50:51] NickTheAnalyst - What happens at ...What happens at night? Does it keep spinning till sun rise?
[2012-02-26 05:01:14] aorphia - Will it tilt back ...Will it tilt back to a noon setting as if the sun is directly above?
[2012-02-23 13:51:10] Vladorz - if you buy them ...if you buy them from china they are not expensive at all... at least the ones the size of those presented in this video
[2012-02-23 06:30:59] solarpanellights - I invent the Future ...I invent the Future of Solar Light technology! There is nothing worldwide even come close to my Products! It saved 80%-90% of Material and Costs! It swims to, also can be used to grow up Foot for Aquaculture! Full Waterproof also, and a complete Solar Revolution! SEE ALSO THE FIRST SOLAR LED FOOTBALL STADIUM LIGHTS! Have a look on my Chanel, if you like my Products! It is Patent Pending! With my Invent its first Time possible to use Solar technology in Areas where they now Solar only from TV!

[2012-02-17 18:09:09] thegoodhen - Exactly my thoughts ...Exactly my thoughts. He probably could also switch it to sleep mode and wake up to do the adjustments just once a while. But It's cool anyway.
[2012-02-17 15:48:30] ardur - i know it is an old ...i know it is an old video but what program you use for the files you provided? eagle? orcad?
[2012-02-05 16:18:27] DJMC5ive - This is the story ...This is the story of a strange year in the life of Mr. Miller. A very strange year indeed. A year spent waiting, a year spent planning; for that glorious day when he would be able to unleash his response.

[2012-01-24 23:36:09] lothre - I will rest easy ...I will rest easy knowing that unlike you, I do not need an entire year to come up with a retort.... Wow man. Was this really bothering you for so long? You need to let the little stuff like an internet strangers comment on youtube go. I probably forgot about my original post 20 seconds after i made it...By the way your comeback was probably pretty good in context, but after so long I doubt anyone cares. I know I don't. You probably shouldn't either.
[2012-01-23 21:24:05] MillercrossStudios - I bet you practice ...I bet you practice seemingly witty comments in front of a mirror, then look in obscure places to say them so you feel like you've actually accomplished something.
[2012-01-23 16:42:47] jonathoncrowe28 - Commercial Solar ...Commercial Solar Panels are Expensive! Your Only Option is to Build Your own Solar Panels I have found out a web site where an Engineer from Chicago who explains it All You can also find his web site by Searching Google for...

[2012-01-04 23:17:10] snailer06 - This demo shows ...This demo shows only a few minutes in the sun, but what happens when you leave the photo-resistors in the sun all day? My guess is they stop tracking because they "saturate" and read off the scale. You can put resistors to change the range of the sensors biased towards full sun, but they will probably still saturate and be unusable. Have you solved that problem?
[2011-12-22 14:59:59] randomguyed - superb ,man !!! can ...superb ,man !!! can u show me the schematic ? this is so awesome!!! not only you found a way to have free power, but youve helped the enwironment too!! so cool man . can u show me the schematic please? thank you!!!

[2011-12-02 17:38:06] inyourfacesociety - Could you make ...Could you make this more compact and energy efficient by using a micro arduino chip?
[2011-12-02 13:00:00] foresakenlion - You sir found a ...You sir found a cheap way to make a heliostat which is amazing, now couple this with Fresnel lens and steam powered electricity from a pelter engine and you've got yourself a generator.

[2011-11-05 09:08:28] TheCommuted - Nice. I tried to ...Nice. I tried to do this once and you look more successful. Today I would use a calendar and a clock if I was making a commercial system.
[2011-10-26 02:30:52] MrBLEINT - hi man could you ...hi man could you tell me the parts that i need to build it and what kind the arduino i need ? port usb and what else ?
[2011-10-23 20:52:20] aerofart - An equatorially- ...An equatorially-mounted solar panel assembly coupled with a drive gear and a solar ephemeris (in code) for tracking the sun throughout the year would be bullet-proof. You could do away with the light sensors altogether, if your goal is to track the sun . . . but I can see how this method is a lot more fun, and provides a different approach with its own unique challenges. Makes for an interesting discussion, indeed.
[2011-10-23 18:40:43] lothre - I bet you produce ...I bet you produce enough energy to power the system that tracks your uneducated comments no matter which direction you are facing.
[2011-10-12 15:29:47] neuromonkey - Nice. You've ...Nice. You've inspired me
[2011-10-10 14:16:43] timbobel - the solar panels ...the solar panels will be barely able to power the entire device itself. especially if you do not disconnect the servo or motor. too small solar small cells.
