This is the large Fresnel Lens Melting Glass. The cement base needs to be replaced with a small piece of steel as the glass sticks and mixes with the cement

  • Dan, would getting or making a crucible be beneficial? Melting the glass and other things in a confined space at the focal point.

  • @Jm4steam Hi JM, sorry for the delay:-) A crucible is very helpful, summer months sun right above. I use a lead melting pot hybrid for zinc if there are clouds.

  • CASIO EXLIM PRO

  • Hi! Great video. I plan on getting on of those lenses in the future. On a video question. How did you do the slow motion when the bottle exploded? Was it done with camera or in post?  Great Info and entertaining.

  • Hey Dan, have you heard about the guy who made a 3d printer that uses a fresnel lens to melt sand in the desert into glass objects? He made some pretty awesome stuff with it. It was called the Solar Sinter. The guys name is Markus Kayser.
