Solar Sail captures and reflects sunlight beaming down on its spine of spinning mirrors and refracts it through the water encased in its plexiglass tubings, creating subtle waves of rainbows on its surface and the surrounding land. As a satellites’ solar sails are propelled in the vacuum of space by the sun rays, Solar Sail is put into motion by the various effects the sun creates.
