Starting a Fire using a Parabolic Mirror

Thermal Radiation, in the form of Infra Red, is closely related to visible light and can be brought to a focus using a simple parabolic mirror.
In this demonstration I show how this focusing effect can be used to start a small fire.
I apologise for a slight continuity error in terms of my clothing. When reviewing my original footage I found a slight problem, so decided to refill part of the video (mid way through a cycle ride!)

Its just a parabolic cone LOL, infrared beams reflect on cone underside and then intensified and allowing rapid heat and push to lift it off. Air is also supplied from cone air intake and air outflow escapes underside and allowing continued propulsion high in atmosphere, THEY CALL IT EXPLOSIVE PLASMA.

Wow, that was pretty cool!

here i thought it needed to be spun, either way amazing job

[@selcuksadiktekin3854]

I can't understand how to fire is that true?

[@mehreenkhan1351]

Why always an object gets fire in front of parabolic mirror

[@subham2593]

Wow sir

for the benefit of those of us without a science education it would have been nice to have some narration? I don't know what the bulb in the middle of the first parabolic mirror is??? Infrared it seems to be from your description box. I have no idea if infrared heats as it looks like an electric heating element rather than light. So many questions1

My aim in making these videos was primarily to create a tool that teachers could use in lessons: There are thousands of videos that provide explanations but there were none that simply showed a process in a clear way whilst allowing the teacher to do the talking. I'm sorry if you didn’t find the video helpful but these videos are used successfully by thousands of teachers around the world.

That’s my teacher wow
