If you settle on the poles of a planet, such that the sun never sets, just rolls around your horizons, you can set solar panels on a rotor that turns one revolution per 2 hours (assuming that's what your in-game day is set to)

Putting those on separate grids was ingenious
Comment from : @justinsellers9402

For anyone who thinks even this might be beyond their capabilities, keep in mind that if you set all your solar panels to align perpendicular to the "plane" of the sun's revolution around the map, you'll still get pretty great power generation almost the whole time You'll have a couple of small, brief dips each day, but that's it

I love how clever some creations are, the level of out of the box thinking you see in this games community is really cool
Comment from : @Captain_Matias_Torres

I don’t understand why people don’t like solar panels, I have a light cargo/travel ship that is run entirely on solar power and a few batteries

This video saved my marriage, thank you from the bottom of my heart

Can someone explain how the gyros being powered causes rotation?

You need an array that you can hit 50 km away
Comment from : @tohpingtiang4878

you should get a call from NASA
Comment from : @piyushjaininventor

Did they get rid of the part of "edit" on programmable blocks that lets you pull scripts from the workshop? I can't find the option anymore???
Comment from : @CopperStateCustomAdmin

This is a very clever design Love the simplicity of the concept

Haven´t seen this kind of SunTracking Solution for quite a while - like for years A time of DX9 , without Programmable blocksbrIts interesting to see this principle re-emerge from the void - into a new Engineer´s mind
Comment from : @schattensonner

I remember trying to build something like that I made the baseline "solar power gas station", to recharge your batteries off But even with scripts at the day, I never managed to get the allingment to work There simply was no way to read out the power produciton of a panel back in the daybrbrI never considered having the whole station rotate on a passive device I am not sure it would even work for my "gas station" design, as ships will often be docked to "refuel" them, drastically changing the mass of the whole thing
Comment from : @christopherg2347

That's pretty clever
Comment from : @edxcal84

Amazing principle ! I'll add this to my personal knowledge database :D
Comment from : @Korgann

When i get to play SE i want my ships to be designed with detachable batteries via merge blocks that can be attached to solar farms and exchanged for charged batteries
Comment from : @thefalloutphoenix

No timer block? Don't get it
Comment from : @Ming1975

Oh wow, Emmm I gave the guy resources when we were playing the survival server and he build this on the server, Glad to see he finaly released a cleaner version!!!
Comment from : @NovaDragon

I can just imagine having an asteroid cluster covered completely in solar panels, with a massive dock and a battery store room bigger than any ship, that acts as a recharging station, especially on a larger survival serverbrbrOr maybe instead of an asteroid cluster a planet

Parody of Scott Manley?

IT SHALL BRING PRIME LEADER UNLIMMITED POWER cryingexe start
Comment from : @aidoge3839

Yeah, I was not that fancy on my first base, i just put a cockpit and a gyroscope on a solar panel array mounted to a vertical and horizontal rotor setup so i could hop in the cockpit and just use the gyroscope's power to point the cockpit directly facing the sun (the manual method) It worked pretty well for my first attempt at a base With more experience I'd try this setup though!
Comment from : @slowsteadysqueeze4246

Hi all thanks for the good feedback the grid is on the steam workshop so have a look and a play and i will try to make a planetary one soon
Comment from : @odjwizardo3198

"It would work on a Keen server"
Comment from : @Sinaduel

I love thisas someone who has attempted multiple times to use timers and gyros to match the sun rotation, this is by far so much simpler that it makes me smile Kudos!
Comment from : @MikeNorris1

But is it ram resistant?
Comment from : @SONIC1256

Any one know if theres a way to make these work under gravity?
Comment from : @schoenperkins8210

This is a rather ingenious way of doing this, props to the designer and tanks to Arron for sharing this :)
Comment from : @Alpha-5

I thought gyroscopes don't rotate grids on their own but instead work as position sensors and control thrusters And even if they do rotate the grid, what predetermines their default direction of rotation when they are powered?

dang, that's pretty cool
Comment from : @hydrathedaydreamer

2:47 "Until a poor astronaut crashes into it"brWell I guess that means the RWI can't use it Jack
Comment from : @josephburchanowski4636

very nice brI wonder if you could do something similar but using rotors instead, for a base on a planet
Comment from : @slab-dd6vj

I gotta say its crazy that he managed to work out all the power requirements and such that kind of level of engineering i just leave xD

Another video to watch, productivity protocols lowered to secondary priority, analysis protocols raised to first priority
