I just got this and will be doing a real video soon. This is just to show it off. It is really cool! No audio on this one. Just a quick preview of a video to come.

  • Where can I get a mirror like that ?

  • @honeybunchickens Check our site, there are links.

  • -Dan, would silver paint and aluminum cans work just as well as a mirror?

    -Good vids.

    -Have you ever roasted marshmellows with that?yummy!

  • Hi,

    They will work but only about 40% of this.

  • How does the intensity of the energy change as you move closer to the focal point? I'm guessing it's fairly rapid and sudden if you can put your hand so close to the same point that lit a stick on fire. In other words, as you move your hand along a straight path that crosses the focal point, when will you experience intolerable pain?

  • Yes, This mirror can melt black plastic at night concentrating light by a high intensity flashlight that is 30 feet away. It actually starts to burn.

  • That is super reflective! Mine takes a bit longer to burn things but I already cooked some eggs with it =)

  • Sorry,I have question。Where can i buy like this PARABOLIC MIRROR??? THX~

  • @GREENPOWERSCIENCE never thought of that coming from a damn flashlight! Photons is something , aint ?? Hey, I was wondering about the abillity to transport hot desert sunlight over fiber opitics to ski resorts where you got fiber optic powered furnace to keep warm without any need for firewood that pollute the nice mountain air you alwasy crave to breath only to be interrupted by lingering smoke !! cough cough... anyway I wonder if fiberoptics is tough enough ???

  • @junkyardnut naw, unfortunately, I'm not 100% solar egghead. I'm more like you, a Nuclear egghead. But given your area, you could very well be a coal-egghead lol.

  • It is possible to heat the pool water?

  • @Evi1M4chine we really have very little uses for parabolics.. Flat mirrors will do as long as you multiply them at different slight angles toward one target where you can collect them all for heating air to heat your indoors. Why we dont have them yet... ????

  • @luc59457 solar egghead!!

  • @PBaober **65" in diameter not circumference

  • ive got a 65" military surplus parabolic dish in my back yard:) the coating needs some heavy buffing though:/

  • Dan, is it possible make a cossegrain telescope wih this parabolic mirror?

  • Ottimo per difendersi dagli alieni nazisti ahahahhahahaha
