SUNSHINE SIMULATOR FOR SMALL SCALE MODELS A sunshine simulator and a method of using same for simulating sunshine on a small scale model attached to the simulator. The model is positioned on a support plateau which is pivotally attached to a support post for adjustable displacement of the plateau on a transverse pivot axis relative to the rays emitted from a remote beam emitting source, such as a light source, whereby to position the support plateau at a position relative to the light rays and corresponding to a desired earth latitude. The support post is pivotally secured to a base for axial rotation thereof on an inclined axis corresponding to the earth's inclination and its axis intersects the transverse pivot axis at an intersecting point whereby to position the support plateau at a position corresponding to a desired hour of the day. The base is rotationally secured to a stationary platform for rotation relative thereto on a rotation axis which is normal to the light rays and which intersects at the intersecting point whereby to position the support plateau at a position corresponding to a desired seasonal position of the earth with respect to the sun. |
