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

This wasnt a mess up. The myth was "The ancient greeks could make a "death ray", reflected mirrors that reflected light onto a single point, to burn oncoming ships".
So, with greek technology, could they create a set of mirrors in an inward hemisphere, creating it in such a way that they could quickly lift it up, point it at a ship and set it alight?
No. Because the mythbusters couldn't burn a ship using wood, and large, flat polished mirrors (an analogue of bronze).

Separate hydrogen?
It would take a lot more than focussed sunlight to seperate hydrogen... that's splitting of atoms...
Do you mean seperating hydrogen and nitrogen in Ammonia? Because i saw something like that too...
