That's pretty impressive. Too bad it takes over a minute for a full rotation though. Of course if price were no object, I would recommend a used CIWS mount like the ones found on the Phalanx system -http://www.raytheon.com/products/phalanx/
Since it's fast enough to whip around and kill incoming missiles, you'd almost think it could be used to route packets between 2 remote AP's with just one antenna. Heh heh.. Haven't seen them on Ebay yet though(yet). Seriously though, since a wifi radio and antenna combo _is_ essentially a radar system, it wouldn't take much to develop software to aim the mount based on RSSI. In fact, I have some C++ libs for Windows I developed for another project that could be easily adapted for this purpose. If anyone is interested in this, let me know..
