  • so every survival specialist should have a fresnel lens?

  • @polonium9 Yes, if there is sun. Beast the stick method for fire starting.

  • What were the dimensions of the lens used in the video?

  • 30" x 40"

  • i dare you to put your hand under it for 1 minute :)

  • Not a chance:-0 I picked up a shiny stainless steel bowl that was exposed for 20 seconds and got a 2 inch long x 1/8" wide blister. Looked like someone drew a line on my index finger. I thought it would not be hot as the far rim was all that was exposed and being reflective. ouch

  • Nice.

  • @Melki

    No. You would have to desalinize the water, or some similar process by using reverse osmosis.

  • @billygarner587 : I would also like to know what size Fresnel lens I should buy and where can I get one? This looks incredible.

  • If I put clear plastic on top, tilted a bit, could it made fresh water out of sea water?

  • If I put clear plastic on top, tilted a bit, could I collect fresh water out of sea water?

  • Holy crap !

  • Another source of Fresnel lenses is old overhead projectors (just below the glass plate). They are also used in lighthouses. We used to use small magnifying-glasses to torture other kids when I was at school, I don't think its allowed nowadays!

  • @Tuba408Bass You should carry both. Along with a fire steel. In my fire kit I have, 2 bic lighters, a torch lighter, storm matches, a fire steel, and a small fresnel lens.

  • I can boil blood by just Annoying people.

  • Aim it add your neighbors house
