SOLAR WATER Boiling System WITH A PARABOLIC MIRROR

[ammer1010]

sweet

[ASLforever100]

Can I use my own small mirror for boil small glass cup?

[kannabiz420]

SHUT UP

[lognarm]

That's a good idea... however this big dish is only able to work heating by reflecting sun light only a few minutes I guess... because the natural movement of earth around the sun... so if you wanna use this like a power generator or water heater you must engine the parabolic mirror in order to follow the sun... so this is a little upsetting if you want to save some energy or whatever you do to be green... anyway this still being a good idea for educational purposes...

[NeonRabies]

@lognarm Emm I think the point is that you can cook with it without using conventional methods, which consume either electricty or raw materials. So it is practical in an environmental kind of way.

[nobindog1]

trippyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­yy

[alemapretsof]

OK, I must ask, what is the song??? I played it 3 times, just so I could hear it again~

[gronki1]

I think if the water boiler was painted with black matte paint, not transparent, it would be more efective (less energy loss).

[blueshoestoo]

very cool. did you try this with a steel or aluminum bottle to avoid breakage?

[hej406]

and what happends if you combine it with this? /watch?v=HMckV5JabzE&feature=f­eedrec_grec_index

[FRANC1300]

what if is raini day... ):

[Dbelenit]

boiling water inside a tightly closed bottle while standing next to it. sir you have a very large set of balls

[nbaker1229842005]

Can you explain what is happening here other than the obvious (sun boiling water)? How does a parabolic mirror accomplish this? I already have uses for this wonderful idea!!!

[gronki1]

@nbaker1229842005 it focuses the sunrays from the whole 50" area of the mirror in one point

[iNatevlogs]

Hmmmmmm, use the steam from this and hook it up to a stam engine and generate power :D

[jinggo78]

I'm guessing you're not supposed to stand in front of one of these things. lol

[wastelandwonderer]

this things you could do in the 3rd world with this is limitless

[zetareticuli4]

Will it work with a steel pot distiller?

[D4NI3LGONZALEZZ]

i love the sex music XD

[jbrun009]

So if you use this to power anything, you've got to go buy a new bottle of wine everytime it breaks. The wine industry could really get behind this!

[wyrrox]

The power of nuclear fusion! 

[lkvalaitis]

cool!



[gregstewart789]

Hope you recycled the bottle!

[isobodari1]

dammsolar pover is cool

How long did it take to reach 80 degree F?

[rivoliamo]

Hey you, hand it to my fellow citizen Archimede... This is his invention... :D

[bloodandwinearered]

If solar power can boil water, why do we not return to steam engine trains and ships? It is clean energy. Salt water boils at a higher temperature. For the steamship, the road would be the fuel. We are in a time of desparate energy needs. I think this has tremendous potential.

[hrodnaw]

buullshit, am I supposed to use that glass for boiling water before preparing a tea?

[TheBambooooooooo]

@hrodnaw what are you mannn !!! just some jack asss who wants everything while sitting idle on their huge sorry asses appreciate the effort you moron or else just give an advice in euphemism but your dick head wont understand that would it ....and i would be so appalled to even look at ur comment as surely your advice would be uninteresting

[hrodnaw]

@TheBambooooooooo ...maaaaaaannnnnn, go back on a bambooooooo

[TheBambooooooooo]

@hrodnaw see i told you .ur advice would be uninteresting but you did say it . and to my suprise ur reply was more dumber than i thought .... if not for youtube emailing me i would have never bothered to look at your comment its just that dumb .,,,,

[hrodnaw]

@TheBambooooooooo you are frustrated, find a girl and heat the house by combustion of green planet gases produced by your gut flora, which can be effectively performed by using a pipe obtained from agricultural wastes, which, again, will keep the planet green; regards

[keke8888]

Let us now roast a chicken

[dragutz695]

what;s with the porn song?

[Gytax0]

Glass broke? What is the maximum temperature possible to be generated using such a mirror?

[matsefs]

does anyone know the name of this song?

[TheMarkFellows]

Excellent show of how easy it is to get useful work out of the sun!

[valmirfernandesjunio]

where can i bought/ made a Parabolic mirror like that ?

[ve2zzz]

BC ? TA0RDC0

[nsobieck]

Doesn't Denis get on to you for using all her kitchen utinsals for these experiments Dan?

[jeffpicks]

What's with the morse at the end?

[darkstriker00]

9 peple can't quite comprehend the awesomeness that is the parabolic dish.

[Nuith93]

You might try using colored borosilicate glass as your water container. I'm not sure how hot it gets, but boro does not shatter under heat as easily as your typical glass beverage bottle.

[bestSVMS]

@Nuith93 by borosilicate, you mean pyrex right? I havent seen colored pyrex bottles... usually only clear cooking/baking pans

[77KronKron77]

cool babymaking music

[bigboom273]

so...the focal point of that mirror is hot enough to boil water? then you have made an incredible heat source that uses no electricity. i guess it took me until now to realise that lol. they should use these to generate electricity. but that would cost billions of dollars to make... not even the mirror on the hubble telescope is that expensive. i guess this is how far mirroring technology has come... you could surround your perimeter with those to burn people trying to enter lol!!

[theoffgridexperiment]

Could you use this to heat water that is hooked up to your plumbing so you can do dishes and have a shower and so on?

[TDuD3]

what if you put ur hand in the middle n__n, what if you try to make it safety and with no cancer consequences, prefer solar panels and an electric stove

[lewandlo]

Wow four or five of them in a small green house in the back yard can produce enough energy to get a boiler going and heat your house. You would have to make a sun tracking devise to follow the sun throughout the day but at night your out of luck. I guess on cloudy days it would be a problem too.

[4TheEvil0ne4]

0:35 a giant blue mushroom...i want one..

[ikpk17]

porn music

[ZioFlash74]

@ikpk17 hahaa jes, porn music !! But cool beat !

[ARTSPAD]

so cool

[JoeNieroski]

Great work Dan. Just one more "bright" idea: use a tin can for your boiler, paint it black (flat). To kick it up another notch, place the water-filled can on a rotating table, motorize that table with a PV panel. Motorized lazy Susan...

Hard boiled eggs anyone?

[drorbenami]

@JoeNieroski yeah, that's what i thought....why use glass if it breaks all the time?

[LEONO323]

Hello Can I cook a steak

[Ihatemelee]

what else can you / have you cooked like that?

[SalHuesca]

That's tight

[20125150]

Man thats awesome!!!

[culturalmut]

very cool brother :)

[tashfain12]

it bring the light closer

right?

[mnmluvme]

what would happen if it was a black bottle

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@mnmluvme Darker glass works better.

[tbyte]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE You can put a piece of black metal in the middle of the bottle to act as radiator and focus the beam on it. I think it would work a lot better :)

[Dusty22884]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE Unlike humans...

[Dusty22884]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE Unlike people...

[Dusty22884]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE Unlike people...

[LizzyAston]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE try a thin-layered black copper bottle 

[knoose]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE Actually a bottle with one side clear and the other side solid black would be the absolute best. Just spray paint a stripe for the sun to go thru the water and hit.

[24preacherboy]

@mnmluvme

It would claim racism and call Jessie Jackson.

[Gabrielillo1806]

@mnmluvme A black bottle would work better, but a mexican one would do it for less money! xD

[mnmluvme]

@Gabrielillo1806 wow, terrible and funny, how do some jokes become both?

[TheGuitarkid15]

@mnmluvme it would steal your water

[mnmluvme]

@TheGuitarkid15 lol



[TheLinglin]

OMG!!!!!!! i am probably the last person to find this but still: if u hold the arrow keys while watching a video it turns into a line that u can control..It is a game. u have to reach the blinking dot. OMG AWSOME!!!

[gearhead919]

what song did you use here?

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

@gearhead919 Not sure of the name, it is part of the Mac Garage Band Software

[cleric022684]

@gearhead919 cheap porn music

[rross27]

A stand-alone 5 gallon parabolic distiller could become the most valuable item you own in an emergency which effected (contaminated) the water supply in your area.

[spoonpal]

there is no filtration in this video at all

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Good Point, I just took it out, it was an auto fill from another video:-)

Thank you for pointing that out.

[117starpower]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE what happens if you make 10-20 parabol mirrors pointing at each other in a big circle? why not try that out?

[BurtBartlow]

Why is this song everywhere?

[zreiscool]

this technology is old...

[phector2004]

agreed... nobody else seems too...

they used to light the ANCIENT olympic flame with parabolic mirrors

[itsamemari009]

Yes, the sun is only couple billion years old... but its was we can do with the energy thats new. using it to create steam - Power, electricity.. solar cells.. etc etc

[BlueOceanBelow]

Yes it is! And it still hasn't been implemented enough.

[luc59457]

So many amazing ideas will come from Parabolic mirrors in the future.

[ncbookz]

@luc59457 imagine a mirror pointed at the top of a tube out of the center of your house and the tube is filled with some refrigeratn ans it heats up then the whole house is heated and under the house it stores heat in rocks and at night you use this heat from the rocks

[luc59457]

@ncbookz What you have in the front of your favorites humors me.. ;)

[PyroGuideToHappiness]

damn at first it looked like a giant water drop

[sonofhendrix]

That's so cool! just another thing, that goes to show how self sufficient we can all be.

I think you should start work on a Tesla Tower, Dan. :P

[chovinistic]

How much that parabola?

I want make one water boiling for my home.

Some body can show how get one parabola or how build one?

[tschafer204]

An 8" will run you about $100 and the 56" is close to $1000.

[MasonAngelosanto]

yeah israel had the idea of using the parabolic mirrors to enhance the amount of power capable through solar panels, thats pretty intense. MIT also has a good set up with the heat operated/solar contraption

[willmelater]

If you could get it to track the Sun and focus on a Stirling Engine heat exchanger, combined with a properly sized flywheel/pulley system to a generator, you could create power during daylight hours.

[Elevationary]

Can some one please tell me what the reflective material that is used to line the dish? i would love to know..........let me know

[hakachukai]

It's called "trough mirror" You can buy it on ebay.

I'm not sure what the exact correct name for this stuff is yet, but I'm looking for it.

You also might be interested in "aluminized mylar". It very thin, very flexible, and 99% reflective. But... it does wrinkle very easily.

[Elevationary]

If it wrinkles easily then that means that it can loose its Reflectivity,through time,i have redesigned my Dish,i cant say what it is,but it will never loose its reflectivity,and it wont ever get old,but there is just one problem with it,but thanks for the Reply.

[andrewbnkjv]

Hey its the best vanity mirror in the world.

Only allows you to look at your reflection for about 30 secs or your skin boils.

[shadowslayer81]

yes that is very porable, a huge lense, "cmon everyone has one!"

[frogprince81]

im assuming "porable" should be "probable" :D i demonstrated things like this when i was in highschool oh so many years ago. i still do it when im camping

[Sirkristofuk]

I bet these could be used in developing countries like Africa to purify water, especially as it only takes a few minutes.

[alphakristjan]

jep , lot of things coud be used in developing countries like africa.

[lionessimba]

africa is a continent!

[alphakristjan]

and so ?

[lionessimba]

Well its a fact.

[zonumb]

Please forgive my ignorance but will this work in cold weather conditions? For example clear skies with no clouds but cold enough to keep snow on the ground from melting or does the outside temp affect the process? thanks a million

[chrisleblay]

Yes it works in very cold temperature.

In fact the only condition is a clear sky.

The more the sky is clear the more power you will have.

[mephil8800]

so night time clear sky works ? :P

[deaftodd]

@mephil8800 yes very very little by the star

[Odziz]

Ah, the solar death ray strikes again

'You will crack Mr Bottle'

[ananabcd]

This vid makes me thirsty :P Very cool!

[Richardgwm]

Some of that was kind of psychadelic.

[desiredusername]

Focusing light on transparent water has got to be inefficient. I see you use colored glass, but what about this idea: Suspend some black/dark object in the water, like a rock or a length of copper pipe. Focus on that and let it be your "heating element".

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

That would work a lot better. The blue glass absorbs about 70% of the light. I have a video due out soon where I take a tea root that is dark and boiled it in clear glass. I also have some black rocks that I could suspend in a clear glass jar. I chose the blue glass because it looked cool:-)

Thank you for the comment and great ideas!

[realestatenow]

@GREENPOWERSCIENCE even better: use a totally black vessel to boil the water and show the steam coming out from a pipe.

[cdltpx]

I have heated water using a campfire and a 2 liter bottle it got hot enough to boil then I used the water. You can only do this one time the bottle usually is ruined but if you save emergency water in 2 liters as I do you will have a great way to heat multiple bottles and have a hot bath or shower. Just place the bottle in the fire under the ambers the bottle will disfigure has a risk of spewing but the cap usually will allow air out.

In emergency it is a useful tool to have in your box .

[PLANETGREEN1]

That is neat. Do you get an chemicals from the plastic. I guess in an emergency it does not matter.

[tour86rocker]

AWESOME. The image of the boiling blue bottle in the parabolic mirror was pretty cool too.

[GREENPOWERSCIENCE]

Thank you for the nice comment. I thought it looked cool too. I am working on a Steam and Stirling engine video with this too.
