description Seasonally balanced solar concentrator (2 dishes!) and the liquid piston tracker. The focal points do NOT move so it could power a stirling engine. David Williams in Canada has calculated that the ideal dish to have its center of gravity at the focus on the axis of rotation at equinox would have a depth that is 1.85 times its focal length.

(centers of gravity must be on the equatorial axis at equinox for best results. 

I suggest making that dish and cutting it in half.  I would love more input!  This can be modeled by people with CAD or animation experience.  Please and thankyou!

http://www.solare-bruecke.org/English/scheffler_e-Dateien/scheffler_e.htm is the other technology for doing the same thing. I do not know if this idea works yet. If it does, it might be easier to implement than the other thing.
