DIY “Solar Death Ray” using a Satellite Dish
We’ve seen an incredible solar mirror before which can melt steel in seconds. That one was expensive and built in a lab. This time, you can build your own by attaching thousands of mirrors to a parabolic satellite dish. The video claims it’s as power as “5000 suns” – Not quite…but it’s still quite impressive. You can buy these tiles dirt cheap on eBay.

Could you not just mirror coat the thing? Say chrome plate it? surely that’d be even more effective and in a complete bowl structure it could pin point the heat more directly. Saying that, i wouldn’t want to set it up in fear that it melts me….but it could be a very clever way of harnessing energy to create electricity for the household. In much sunnier climates….not England
