Fixed mirror solar concentrator. I don't understand how it works. The line target moves in a circular arc. I rediscovered this while reading about Compound Parabolic secondary concentrators. Unfortunately, I could not read any of the appropriate papers, only abstracts, even though I have access to university data bases. Guess I'll have to hunt down the paper copies.
