Abstract
A heliostat 100 support and drive mechanism comprises a fixed pedestal 11, a shaft 12 attached to the pedestal by a joint 12a, such as a spherical joint or flexure, so that the shaft is able to rotate with three degrees of freedom, an arm 13 and a mirror frame solidly connected to the shaft, and three linear actuators 15, 16, 17. A first linear actuator 15 connects between one end of the arm and the pedestal in a position on the pedestal that is distant from the connection of the shaft to the pedestal. A second linear actuator 16 connects between the other end of the arm and the pedestal in a position on the pedestal that is distant from the connection of the shaft to the pedestal and is also distant from the connection of the first linear actuator to the pedestal. A third linear actuator 17 connects between the arm and the pedestal, in a position on the arm adjacent to the point of connection of the arm and the first linear actuator and in a position on the pedestal adjacent to the point of connection of the second linear actuator and the pedestal.
