  • 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).

  • @xxx777aaa what the hell did that mean? you don't make any sense.

  • @AD7BK1 each mirror was flat but arranged in a parabolical i think

  • duhh..mythbusters are mythsters themselves...they cant hang with u tube genius.... yhey do what they do for BS TV

  • @AD7BK1 they actually did try that later in the episode i think

  • 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...

  • "Parabotic" and then to top it off "would of" worked.
