I want to build a small version of this thing.

Mirrors on my house and garage roof. More mirrors on poles in the front yard.

They increase the sunlight on a lengthwise strip of the driveway 4- to 8-fold. Computer's camera determines when the snow/ice (white/gray) has turned to asphalt (black), and moves the entire line of light a bit North to get the next strip of the driveway.

When the driveway's clear, point all mirrors to reflect right back toward the sun.
