Rotatable heater

As I installed a heater recently, all I can think is about heater. A thought came in the morning while thinking about solar heaters. Instead of fixing the base of such heater, how about allowing the base to rotate.

Think sun flower. If the base can orient itself towards the sun, the sensors will receive maximum sun rays. So, the motor in the base will be receiving feedback from the heat or light from the top layer; this feedback will determine the angle of rotation. At night time, the platform should be turned towards east.

Ya, I should have googled to find if this is already implemented. At times, it is nice to think that we are the first to think about something :-)
