What is this device? It’s called a “Fresnel Lens”.
My “Solar Scorcher” project was originally inspired by Dan Rojas of GreenPowerScience: http://youtu.be/JkgFk15uBxw (Fresnel Lens Giant “Big Daddy”)
Kipkay also made one a few years ago he called the “Solar Death Ray”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAT6IRBK_uE
