    did you finish working on this,? i would like to see what can this huge parabolic mirror burn:!!

    I wonder if you could make your death ray mirrors round, wouldn’t that give a sharper point? I am going to try it with the 12” mirrors that I have. Thanks

    @dchild44 Mirrors work but you lose 30% of the potential power based on losing the curve. If you have the mirrors they will work.

    @pinsetter1991 I lined a small satellite dish with 1/2 inch square mirrors, gluing them on with latex paint, dipping each mirror one at a time in a shallow spread of paint. It has withstood heavy rain and hail with no lost mirrors. I did’nt sand the surface first. No prep at all.

    @pinsetter1991 One of your videos you said that a small satellite dish needs to be sanded before trying to attach mirrors. I cut 1/2 square mirrors and just glued them on the dish with flat latex paint. It has withstood heavy rain and hail without losing a single mirror. The focal point is very small, about an inch. Works very nice.

    @1foxtrot70 Thank you for the info

    Dan, I like the idea of using a piece of clear to make your template. The dish that has the channels to hold the panels in place is nice also. In my case I only had a dish with mesh panels that were held in place with large panhead screws thru the mesh it worked ok but not nearly as well as the channel type. I might try to install some sort of channel material to support the panels then recut my panels to fit.

    looks tedious and time consuming… find someone with a laser cnc table!!

    Where do you get this acrylic? I am in the technological back waters of southwest Florida and seem to have nothing available. Also in your other video you had an adhesive mylar – again where are you getting this stuff? Love your videos – pretty cool stuff! Thanks!

    Absolutely. Consider ammonia in a closed system, as it has a lower boiling point.

    I’ve looked at small scale urban farming as well (rabbits, chickens, worms, fish, garden). I’ve worked out the biomasses, and a great deal can be knocked off a grocery bill with small animal husbandry that most cities would allow.

  19. robertwgardner says:

    Cooking a turkey is hard under any circumstances. Low and slow is best, so that means moving the dish pretty often (every 15 min?). Cook a small bird! If you can hang a big dutch oven to heat up (past the strongest focus!) that would be optimal for consistent temps. Also, ignore Martha Stewart and cook the bird breast side down. Not quite as pretty, but much more succulent!

    The V/O works really well. Sometimes a shorter video is better, providing the same info in a tighter segment.
