Nanosauromo Posted January 30, 2007 Author Share Posted January 30, 2007 how hot does it go? At least up to 450 degrees farenheit. That's the temperature at which paper bursts into flames. I need to find a thermometer that won't melt to find the exact heat I can get to.

WolfhunterXZ Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Mythbusters busted it pretty much :P. Yes, I know you know Nano!!! :D It's cool, also reminds me of that solar oven I had in elementary school, pretty much a box with well, let me make an ascii of it /ÃÆââ¬Å¡Ãâï / |___| top angled area is to reflect hte sun into the bottom, all of it is covered in shiny foil. Which then cooks it from the sun. It's not really a death ray though... It takes too long to set something on fire easily. More like a... Ray of extreme hotness? lol.

Pete_the_Viscous Posted February 3, 2007 Share Posted February 3, 2007 I don't know -- were I to make one myself I think instead of calculating what angle and position each mirror needed I would just align them one at a time out in the sun, adjusting each so that it pointed at some place I'd decided would be the focal point, maybe keeping the others covered up or something. I couldn't really be bothered with all the measuring and thinking "why isn't it working? Is this one out by a little? I wonder if it's this one". Of course, I'd need to keep pointing it at the sun as it moved across the sky, but that wouldn't be too much effort compared to all the horrible measurements I'd have to do otherwise. deviantart account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forsaken Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 Pretty damn spiffy, I need me one of those. On the topic of Mythbusters: For those of you saying that Mythbusters' tried it and didn't work, you have to keep in mind that they were testing the veracity of the story of Archimedes [or whoever] and his apparent "Death Ray" and its possibility. Thus, they used bronze, which was and is less powerful than glass in reflecting light. They did that because bronze was the most reflective material known to mankind at that time, so it wasn't possible for them to have glass mirrors. I contend that we are both atheists. I just believe in one fewer god than you do. When you understand why you dismiss all the other possible gods, you will understand why I dismiss yours."
