Hydrasolar
The Hydrasolar is a solar tracking device, for solar panels, that does not rely on electric motors or computers to track the sun.
About the Inventor
Michael Patterson has been involved in engineering in one way or another for his whole working life. He describes himself as lazy and says, he is always looking for easier ways to improve the return for effort.
He has worked as an aircraft sheet metal worker. Went on and did a teachers course and taught 'Tech Drawing' and 'sheet metal working' to secondary school and TAFE.
His main focus is selling the solar trackers. He came up with the concept seven years ago. Now, 20 prototypes later, he had a market ready version and has started to sell them.
