Nanosauromo Posted December 13, 2006 Share Posted December 13, 2006 YES I KNOW THE MYTHBUSTERS DID THIS! NO I DID NOT GET MY IDEA FROM THEM! Proof that Nano has way too much time on his hands: The Solar Death Ray is an array of 81 3-inch square mirrors that are aligned to focus the sun onto a single spot. Anything in the focal point gets extremely hot and either melts or burns. It took a little less than a month for me to build it (although i could only work on it on weekends.) Some examples of Death Ray subjects: For those of you who are confused, here's a diagram showing exactly how the Death Ray works: Solar Death Ray videos on YouTube: Episode 1: Piece of Cardboard Episode 2: Marshmallow Peeps Episode 3: PlayStation controller Episode 4: Tootsie Pop Episode 5: Roll of Film Discuss the Awesomeness of solar power!

Nanosauromo Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Metal and glass won't get hot enough to do anything interesting. I'm limited to paper, plastic, and food.

I doubt that would work as it's basically a concave mirror in itself :P Although, getting a pure concave mirror instead of one made up of little mirrors ;) That would make teh focal point a lot tighter/hotter I just posted something! ^_^ to the terrorist...er... kirbybeam.
