What you are seeing here is a “death-ray” made by gluing 5,800 tiny mirror tiles to a fiberglass satellite dish.
According to my Source, it is powerful enough to “melt steel, vaporize aluminum, boil concrete, turn dirt into lava, and obliterate any organic material in an instant”. Believe it or not, it was built by a 19-year-old named Eric Jacqmain who wanted to prove how powerful the sun’s energy is.
Okay, point taken! Unfortunately, Jacqmain’s invention failed because it was destroyed by a shed fire that was started by its own energy. Jacqmain says he want so build a more powerful version with 32,000 mirrors in the future. Will that be more powerful than the sun?2
32,000 mirrors!?
ReplyDeleteMy weekend projects are never quite that ambitious
ReplyDeleteoh! Mythbusters did an episode on this kind of thing. I'm pretty sure that stuff catches fire when you put like 100,000 mirrors pointed at it.
ReplyDeleteAll it needs is a giant concave magnifying glass to go along with it :)
ReplyDeleteSounds pretty crazy!
