What do you get when you combine some particle board, 112 mirrors and our closest star? The Solar Death Ray. Each of the tiny mirrors are angled to hit one area (the target). The Solar Death Ray can heat the target up to 500-600 degrees Celsius (930-1100 degrees Fahrenheit).

Now all you gotta do is work out how to make James Bond stand there for long enough... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Does this qualify as a solar microwave? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

That's a cool idea too. Use it as an energy device.

Ideal for when the oil runs out in about 20 years!

i live in city limits.. [censored] cc&r's won't allow alot of cool things. but outside the city there are bunch of folks running windmills, solar panels & solar pre-heat waterheaters, you name it! It'd be great to be "off the grid" and not have to rely on those money-grubbing energy companies! grr... bastids.

In the 30's in saskatchawan lots of farms had wind generators but when they wanted to hook up to the power grid the company made sure(illegaly)that all the private turbines were destroyed before they would hook you up. Now we have public power and phone as well as insurance and we have the lowestrates and best service in north america.

what if you replace the target with a magnifier?
