PARABOLIC SOLAR COOKER SYSTEM TO TRACK SUNLIGHT IN REAL-TIME

摘要

A parabolic solar cooker system to track sunlight in real-time. The parabolic solar cooker system comprises light dependent resistors (LDRs), micro-controller unit, a plurality of stepper motors, solar panels, a power unit, lead screw, ball bearing, and coupler. The LDRs sense intensity of the sunlight received on the outer surface. The micro-controller unit computes the intensity of the sunlight to determine a direction of the sunlight and further initiates an actuation signal. The plurality of stepper motors areconfigured with the micro-controller unit to receive the actuation signal.The stepper motors hold a plurality of solar panels and utilize the received actuation signal to position the solar panels in a way to receive the sunlight from the direction having a maximum computed intensity of the sunlight. The plurality of stepper motors comprises a front stepper motor, a right stepper motor, a rear stepper motor, and a left stepper motor.
