The heliostat is a smaller one using 96, 1-foot-square 'mirror-tiles' (8'x12') mounted on an adjustable frame that allows slight focussing of the beam. In this case the beam is reduced from 96 sq-ft to 9 sq-ft at 150 feet for a maximum concentration of about 10 suns (instead of 1) per unit area. After losses this unit reflects about 7.5 kiloWatts of thermal energy to the receiver.
