Sunflower Project - An in progress study of biomimicry, I mimicked the phototropic qualities in sunflowers and created a device that once mounted with a photovoltaic panel, would follow the sun increasing the panel's electrical output without consuming any electricity in the process. The "flowers" on the sides of the device direct sunlight to a central container. In the container, pressure builds causing a piston on the opposite side of the device to tilt it towards the sun.
