Burning Stuff With 2000ºF Solar Power!!

Melt a stack of pennies, burst a glass bottle, damage various food items, and incinerate wood using the power of the Sun! This 4 foot magnifying lens will melt concrete, and nearly anything else that gets in its way.
Some quick links to a few of the materials I used:
[✓] Small Fresnel Lens: amzn.to/2cEa9Sy
[✓] Apple beer: amzn.to/2cVKC3C
[✓] Bottle Top Stoppers: amzn.to/2cEcJrS

Project Inspired By:
This "Solar Scorcher" project was originally inspired by Dan Rojas of GreenPowerScience: • Fresnel lens GIANT BIG... (Fresnel Lens Giant "Big Daddy")
Project History & More Info:
LEGALITIES: Some people have asked about the legality of treating pennies in this manner. The federal law states that there are exceptions made for use as "educational, amusement, novelty, jewelry, and similar purposes as long as the volumes treated and the nature of the treatment make it clear that such treatment is not intended as a means by which to profit solely from the value of the metal content of the coins." For more information, see: www.federalreg...
A 4 foot magnifying glass is powerful enough to melt metal, incinerate wood, and burn holes in concrete.
Putting that statement to the test with various items was the purpose of this project. I'm impressed at the results, and excited at the power available through this Fresnel lens that I've nicknamed my "Solar Scorcher".
In the summer, the sunlight at this spot is around 2000ºF, maybe more. Enough to melt spots of concrete into glowing orange liquid.
I'm curious to see what I can do with all this heat so I've filled a glass bottle with water and I'll punch a hole in the cap. It's incredible to see that the instant I focus my lens on the bottle, it starts smoking. Just a few moments later this water is so hot it's boiling, and I'm a little nervous the bottle might blow. Yep, there it goes. I'll try burning a penny, and, wow, it melted. How about a stack of pennies? Yep, they're nothing but liquid metal now, and I'm thinking that slag in the mixture must be what's left of the copper coating. It's only taking about 4 seconds to melt these.
Well, I'm convinced there's an insane amount of power behind these lenses. If you'd like to see where I got this one, take a look at my video on how I hacked it out of an old TV.
• How to get 2000ºF Sola...
This one boiled water in less than a minute, welded a nickel to concrete, and instantly torched any piece of wood in it's way.
It was brought to my attention that Kipkay did a project like a couple of years ago that he called the "Solar Death Ray". Check out his awesome video: • Solar Death Ray vs. iPod

I wonder how long it could take a few of these to heat a pool

[@SoulDelSol]

good idea

[@thereaper2615]

depend on the pool bottom and size. if its a reflective material then it would take forever. if its dark ,non reflective and small to medium sized then maybe just with 10 of these ,anyway its always possible to cause a crack at the bottom with it.

[@maxfactor4209]

u need to put something dark (black metal sheet) on the water surface. since it is in the water it not gonna melt or burn but it transfer the heat to water. but it takes for ever to heat up the pool in this way

[@iPelaaja1]

Think about it.. The len just focuses the suns energy from lets say one square meter or foot to the pool. What happens without a lens? Well that same square meter hits the pool.. And it has exactly the same amount of energy. So your pool will heat just as slowly as without a lens because it receives the same energy... Of course if you place them so that they focus sun from somewhere where the suns rays werent going into the pool, it would heat up faster, becuase you have one extra square meter/foot worth of heat energy going in. But water is very reflective, so it'll reflect most of the heat away. Basically what im saying, a pool wont heat any faster with this than without...

Looncan The focal point is at a greater distance than the distance it has to his back at that moment, so there's no real danger in it.

[@jameshutton123]

are you serious?

[@looncan7484]

i'm going to throw this *2 meter x 2 meter* plastic balloon filled with corrosive toxic acid down to you, don't worry it's not burstable and it can't melt through that type of plastic. Are you still going to catch the balloons fall! full of toxic acid? For arguments sake you'll say yes In reality you'd say F*%k NO

[@jameshutton123]

This is a Fresnel lense, it acts as a condensed version of a magnifine glass. Therefore it needs to be at the perfect angle with its normal vector pointing towards the sun, and even then will only burn things in it's focal point which would be a few feet away and only be a range of about 6 inches. If you understood the physics behind the lense, you would see that carrying it around is about as dangerous as plugging in a power cord.

I want more videos with this! How about many of these back to back?

[@EggzMC]

This was four years ago

[@theVIIIthletter]

Take it to the beach and put it over someone who is asleep for super hilarity!

[@croquet93]

okay lets try it on equator line.the sun power is intense

[@joujou4317]

Yo Sup lmao ;D

[@eternaldeagold8280]

Even worse in the future, that's way more in TENSE

[@fishingwithulmer6746]

Over 9000 degrees

[@eshwarkumar8138]

fishing with Ulmer no

[@zerox8413]

Imagine if earth was flat and we exposed direct sunlight 24/7/12/365 😅

[@jessussantos7893]

rest in peace :(. you taught me more about science more than my own teacher

[@anthonyperez7516]

I miss this guy every day

[@SamuelCish]

So my friend and I took the lens out of a TV that was sitting on the curb a few houses down. We left it in the garage on top of some pool floats. My mom went into the garage to get the floats and leaned the lens against the fence. The fence has a blackened hole in it.

[@AlexC347]

What happens if you focus this on a solar panel?

[@somethingrelaxing1583]

We can use it as water heater for bathing or other purpose so we can reduce the use of electricity or wood burning..

[@tsosko7221]

Finally a cool recommendation

[@ddermont6058]

*Almost blows up Entire 5 gallon gas can* "Yup it works!"

[@anthonythorp7291]

Well he said he wanted something to explode.

[@pwnograffik]

idk how I found this video but this is awesome

[@redranjer]

"The power of the sun... in the palm of my hands!"

[@fuckfacesstashofshitposts3034]

what’s that bottle sir? the unmatched power of the sun, officer.

[@bimorizkiprayogo7364]

Praise the sun \o/

[@TimeFlux1089]

\'[T]/

[@Cloudburstcasts]

***** Sir, you deserve a medal :3 Solaire :>

[@TheKyleAye]

But what happens if you try and burn a mirror?

[@digitalsparky]

I can't help but think you could combine this with some mirrors to reflect the beam onto the bottom of a hot plate and create a true solar powered bbq

[@MISTAH.X]

*this is why invoker’s sunstrike is a pure damage and deals high damage*

[@DanteFlores]

isnt burning coins for the metals a federal offense

[@drak0056]

But can it melt steel beams?

[@coffinfeeder7732]

No, it needs about a couple hundred more degrees of heat.

[@elchungo5026]

Joe Jane is it jet fuel?

[@coffinfeeder7732]

+Chandler Short Steel melts at 1307°C, so it's actually a couple _hundred_ degrees away from its melting point, my mistake.

[@simontheslightlydiagonal6597]

Can it melt your ugly profile pic? :)

[@undead379]

Cris P Bacon Who's profile pic?

[@xedalpha1]

I'm convinced there must be an insane amount of energy behind this lens That would be a star.

[@exeptionz5640]

xed alpha hi

[@ochir-erndeneamarsanaa7226]

The total energy of a system can be subdivided and classified into potential energy, kinetic energy, or combinations of the two in various ways. Kinetic energy is determined by the movement of an object - or the composite motion of the components of an object - and potential energy reflects the potential of an object to have motion, and generally is a function of the position of an object within a field or may be stored in the field itself. While these two categories are sufficient to describe all forms of energy, it is often convenient to refer to particular combinations of potential and kinetic energy as its own form. For example, the sum of translational and rotational kinetic and potential energy within a system is referred to as mechanical energy, whereas nuclear energy refers to the combined potentials within an atomic nucleus from either the nuclear force or the weak force, among other examples.
