This is a frequently asked question. Can a parabolic mirror zap a plane or blind a pilot in the sky. NO they cannot.

  • @arafetkanso It doesn't PRODUCE anything. It takes the solar energy that would normally hit a larger surface, and concentrates it to a smaller point. Had the dish not been there, the exact same amount of sun light would simply have hit the garden over that larger area instead. Look at it this way - it creates a concentrated point of sunlight, but at the same sime, makes a huge spot of SHADE hehind it, which evens it out.

  • @TheRealXesc EXCELLENT ANSWER:-)

  • @arafetkanso a single black car produces 2x the heat this does in a day. A black top driveway=20x the heat stored.

    When not in use, this dish reflects sunlight away actually cooling.

  • A piolet wont be 6' from the dish but a bird could be. but the best part, so could flying insects! Dont they pop neet when they fly thru the FP

  • @GREENPOWERSCIENCE

    But how much green electricity does a black car produce? Or a black top driveway. This could exponentially increase the output of a solar panel just outside the focal point, or work a sterling engine at the focal point.

  • Could you use that small mirror to reflect hitting point from the big one?

  • C'mon Rojas... Tell us something relevant.  You are stating the obvious here. Been awhile since I visited your awesome channel.... Thin I see this! ...?

  • @jmosler9 The same people who think a plane can't take off from a moving conveyor.

  • @scubaga Eventually, we could turn Earth into a giant disco ball. :D

  • @arafetkanso Let it also be made clear that too much heat is NOT what causes global warming. It's the greenhouse gasses emitted when fossil fuels are burned that causes global warming. Heat alone doesn't change anything.

  • @arafetkanso It could stop Global Warming by reflecting the sunlight back into space that would have hit the ground. We need to build 100,000,000,000 more of them and get carbon offsets from Al Gore and become as rich as he is.... I gotta go, need to start building those reflectors...

  • Nice mirror. Now what are you goin to do with it? Maybe use it to heat a boiler for home heat or something. You could keep the inside of one of your cargo containers nice and warm. By the way, my little ceiling fan motor that I got from you is awsome. I dont get enough wind back here in the woods where I live. It was fun to make also. Thanks for thevideos. (Tom)

  • cool I think it looks more covered this time :D
