when using magnifying glass or Fresnel lens you have to be careful to use very dark glasses, even welder’s glasses, to protect your eyes from the concentrated sunlight. i was doing this in the 1950s and i think it caused eye damage, i ended up with some nearsightedness that might have been worsened by this sort of thing. most people do this and eventually just get blurry vision similar to snowblindness but repeatedly doing this will be very damaging to your eyes, and you regret it.
@cjellwood kinda, yeah. you can refocus the light so that it would be parallel (ie a straight line) but it still wouldn’t be a laser. also the lens required for such a thing would be damed expensive.
Build a box around it (the sides) so that it can’t hurt your eyes even if you’re not wearing protective eyewear. And have the mirror bounce the beam back up to a flat panel which will collect all of it and then you can cook on top of that.
We have known for years you can boil water or heat air. In a boiler…..
Then force it through a turbine to create Electricity
But the BIG MONEY will never allow this it means there would be no need to BIG OIL – COAL – GAS – NUC plants and no one would be making ther big money for it…
When playing with solar do you get more power out put if the direct the lends over the top of the solar panel, I know it might melt so is there a panel out there that can with stand that heat and produce a lot of power?
So are you saying that a clear sky with the temerature around 20 degrees could be more uv -ray intense(A hotter focal point) then a 40 degree slightly cloudy day? If that makes sense.

is there a way to make a continous focal point like a laser beam?

If the ants ever get ahold of this… humans will be the new ants.

And the light beam is actually a woman…

Now just imagine you’re strapped to a table, and the intense light beam is slowly approaching your crotch…….
