@Ryboy1381 What did they do?
-
@pingpong1525 Not to worry. Just use an electric, gas, wood or coal oven as a source of heat radiation.

@Ledamonster yea like technology is really making this world a better place...

@pingpong1525 this can be done very cheaply. It has nothing to do with budgeting; thats only a cop out for lazy teachers who care more about their pockets than their teaching.. these types of "recreations" are indeed very helpful in the applied and empirical sciences.

here is the way you can use what you made. send the sun light into a cone shape focal point into mirrored tubing and send that sun light down into a mirrored box where solar panels would be spinning to keep the solar panels cool or put in a cooling system but i think that will be a problem control the sun and make it work for you dish has to have robot arm to follow the suns path
"Ancient Greeks were far more techy than your teachers/professors will admit"...I disagree...If anything, teachers stress the advancements that the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, etc. made through the years which is the main reason why they are still referenced 2-4,000 years later. And yes, obviously they used different technology than in this experiment, but we had to keep to a very strict school budget and were teaching the math behind it and not trying to re-create the Archimedes myth.
