500 degree pan, 34 degree water, fresnel lens fun

wow

[narcovice]

preeety cool good for hot tubs

I wonder how Xtrema ceramic cookware would handle this cooking method. It's supposed to be able to handle heat that will melt an aluminum pan. In fact one youtube video show them melting an aluminum pan in an Xtrema ceramic pan. But I am interested since I thought it would be nice to do all my cooking with the sun thru a fresnel lens.

Put it on a pressure cooker pot and you will have steam turbine power generator. Water to vapor expands 1800x in mass, could power an automobile.

You should pee on it

Create a mirror system so the pan heats up from the bottom, then you can cook something, ,

how big a lens do you need?

[seamonkeyfan90]

Where can u get these? please reply

[jeromeT1020]

Will adding another lens double the temperature?

[saskae12395]

adding a second lens will make the ray larger and affect a wider area of the skillet.

How big is this fresnel lens?

[ILuvhFood]

we be needed a shitload of those in a few years when we run out.

[coondogtheman1234]

this is the answer to high electric rates. what we need is banks of these lenses aimed at high efficiency soler cells all around the world but its being done already, but id put a rig like that in my yard, free power thanks mother nature lol.

[dama0023]

You can't aim a fresnel at a solar cell, it would shatter/melt in about 2 seconds

[cutty02]

@dama0023 You don't have to put the solar cell in the focus point. the further away from the focus the less likely you will damage the solar cell

[OrganicDrew]

no what we need is these lenses being aimed at high efficiency Stirling engines that produce electricity when they are needed and HHO gas when not in use.

[coondogtheman1234]

now thats an idea you could hook one of those sterling engines to a generator and if you have ebough power you can get a powerful enough Genny you could pump out some serious juice. the problem is at night when theres no sun you would need some type of high power storage system sort of like a battery but for AC. maybe this coupled with geothermal.

[jeromeT1020]

Or use to to power as small steam turbine

Good way to shatter a cast iron stove into pieces and REALLY hurt yourself.

True.
