Art of the problem in "How nature solved robotics" asked about the sun scoop, here is the answer.

Art of the problem (Brit Cruise) collaborates with The Kahn Academy, Nasa and Pixar. (And he commented on this video). Anyway, he recently made a cute little AI robot and asked for real world problems for it to solve. So here is one. About 15 years ago, I uploaded diagrams and i asked for a solution to a "timer problem" for solar concentrators on equatorial mount. (equatorial mount enables single axis tracking and single axis tracking needs just one motor instead of two and this reduces cost and complexity). But no electronics guy ever designed or built the outdoor timer that could do the job. I solved the problem in 2023 but my solution is too complex and bulky for widespread use. Art of the problem's robot could solve it in a simple way, and maybe even control several of these "dumb DIY heat concentrators" at the same time. Just by turning on and off air in tubes going to the heat concentrators! I asked google and on a sunny day, my 600 watt tracking reflector working for 8 hours, has the same power output as three to five 400 watt solar panels! About 200 dollars DIY for my sun scoop, and starting at about 1200 dollars for the solar panels (if you are a qualified installer)!
