in a previous project I found a free TV
and turned it into a giant solar
scorcher this shoots out a deadly beam
of sunlight that’s hot enough to abuse
food melt metal and burn things you
probably shouldn’t
[Music]
today’s seemed like a good day to play
with my solar scorcher I positioned my
frame and found the focal point then
added some concrete tiles as a base for
my projects okay I’ve got power and I’ll
test it out with this piece of wood and
when the light makes contact
I’ve got instant fire the sunlight at
this spot is around 2,000 degrees
Fahrenheit enough to melt this spot of
concrete into a glowing orange liquid
I’m curious to see what I can do with
all this heat so I fill the 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 the glass pieces
are melting and that’s cool but now I
want to try this on some food I’ll get
some hot dogs and when they hit the beam
they really do get hot this might be a
little well-done for my taste and I’m
still hungry
so let’s try an egg the egg is actually
working very well it’s so reflective it
doesn’t burn as fast and even my wife is
interested a little salt and pepper and
it’s tempting to try a bite okay so I
wasn’t actually expecting to eat this
but it looks safe enough and even my
kids are anxious to try surprisingly
it’s pretty good alright let’s see what
else this will do
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
four seconds to melt these and melting
metal is really great but now I want to
see something first
I wonder what would happen to this egg
it’s spewing some kind of debris and
smoking like crazy I hear some little
pops and it’s even forming some
interesting gross look at that but no
explosion how about if I put a pop top
on this bottle of water and let the
pressure build up yeah that’s what I’m
looking for
let’s do that again the lid is back on
and pressure is building awesome alright
the Sun is setting and I’ve readjusted
my a-frame I’m just wondering if this
would ignite gasoline it does hopefully
it goes without saying that this is very
dangerous and you shouldn’t try this at
home 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 this one
boiled water in less than a minute
welded a nickel to concrete and
instantly torched any piece of wood in
its way well that was fun but I’m still
hungry so I’ll put everything away and
go get some real home cooking that’s it
for now if you liked this project
perhaps you’ll like some of my others
