Melting steel with solar power Posted by: Fatsomus
Video duration: 114 seconds Clip from James May's Big Ideas where bunch of hippies burn and melt stuff with their 'solar furnace', oh and it has something to do with making petrol out of thin air.

lots of ifs? why do people like need to doubt things, be part of the solution instead of the problem.

....all metal melts... and 2400 degree centigrade, is fucking hotter than balls

do you even know what pretentious means?
By: link90099. on 31 Dec 08, 07:29:59
That is insane,couldn't believe it actually melted steel.
By: Buhnanah. on 25 Dec 08, 23:08:05
What happens if you get in the way of that? :O

congratulations pretentious douche, you over cooked a hot dog.

But there IS, I live between Dubai and Iran and here we get about 10 cloudy days a year, specially in Dubai. I'm gathering up ideas for a solar powered Tesla engine. Greetings from Iran

I would call it a LIFE RAY. The potential for this type of technology may just save us from ourselves... if there is sufficient time.

the heat is foccused on the center of the sheet of metal. Not whats supporting it.
By: kevinjsand. on 27 Nov 08, 12:05:53
Probably the same stuff they use in metal foundry that holds the molten metal! DUH. Maybe ceramic I am not 100% sure.

That's a lot of "ifs," a all of them are fundamental. Where to store the energy? Batteries can't store enough, especially not for millions of people. Excess? We'd be hard-pressed to simply provide for anyone. Finally, there just aren't enough sunny days. One great thing you can do with this stuff is heat your water. Simply build a parabolic mirror over a long distance (perhaps over your gutters?) and put the water pipe at the focal point. That'd cut your heating bill a LOT.

I want to know too
By: huangjiachen. on 25 Nov 08, 13:08:22
So what is the thing that supports the metal that wouldn't melt in the video? O.o
By: ForkedTongue79. on 19 Nov 08, 21:08:22
Now that's what i call a DEATH RAY ! lol
By: brianwesley28. on 16 Nov 08, 22:05:46
But, if you had enough sunny days, enough excess, and enough storage capacity, it would work. There are so many things that could work. There are a lot of good ideas out there. I like to see people doing something with the ideas. They should have started doing things differently a long time ago. This would be good in sunny areas. No doubt. You could boil water for a steam turbine, or direct it to a Stirling engine. Cool shit. That steel didn't last long, did it?
By: livewire242. on 15 Nov 08, 23:20:41
If only there were parts of the world that get near 100% sunny days.

Woah! Thats Gundastic! Aeolia Schenberg's really the greatest inventor of the next century. Maybe Solar furnaces will rly come soon! xD GUNDAM! --> The show which inspires the world...
By: Y0uEnj0yMyself. on 12 Nov 08, 00:37:17
omg he point the mirrors and it burn a hotdog!
By: omegaham. on 11 Nov 08, 02:43:39
Unfortunately, you'd need a couple million of these parabolic mirrors, and it would only work on sunny days. :(
By: trailkeeper. on 09 Nov 08, 23:54:23
You probably dont even need a parabolic shaped mirror base, just use a flat piece of wood with adjustable mirrors on it. Also, I guess that energy can even melt things of higher temp since that liquid metal is probably 50% reflective of the light anyway.

What a shame we can't make steam to run a generator with this rig. If we could we could have pollution free energy for the planet. Oh well what a shame! ;)
By: moodyisyours. on 09 Nov 08, 13:04:33
amazing.!!!
By: reddeadlys. on 09 Nov 08, 08:11:52
fo sheezy harness the power of the sun in some sort of sword looking thing? It will be like a sabre or something that shoots light?
By: akulax1. on 09 Nov 08, 05:33:34
Just amazing
By: reapertheunique. on 08 Nov 08, 13:24:15
solar furnace.....Gundam 00
