1. That’s pretty sweet

2. I head off to Africa every year. Would you like to help me set up and test some of these systems remotely? Can it generate electricity when tied to a generator? Have you done any more work on these?

3. go up to your URL bar, put a Q between the words you and tube and then press enter or click go

4. @lovethyheathen refined crude oil, that would be gasoline.

5. You know one can only imagine, if the chimney’s on trains were fitted with solar panels in hot country’s,who knows how far we would be today with this technology,the only problem is it would not be responsive enough.

6. cool.

7. how did you make that

8. how do you make that it is cool

9. i guess i will stay with good ‘ol black goo…(refined crude oil) for my energy needs.

12. just build a whole park off those

13. 1800 RPMsss

14. how many RPMs ?

15. how efficent is this compared to solar panels if we set up a feild of these mirrors and turbines and a feild of solar panels which one make more energy

16. First of all, what does this have to do with BBQ, and second….Damn!!! That thing is about ready to burst!!

17. How efficient would one of these be compared to a solar panel ?

18. If only you could build a car size (Stirling Engine) with a Fresnel Lens to produce electrical power maybe 55KW to start cheaply

19. Only enough to get torqueys to invest in a dead end.

20. I SMELL A BBQ !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :P

21. when are they going to show us the easy way to build one?

22. the beast kind of energy potential comes in the form of steam power, when it rains the “water tanks” are refilled and when, it stops the sun (and a few lenses get to work.) steam power baby!!!!

23. what kind of torque would a stirling engine produce?

24. Put coil’s and magnets on the spinning weels and u get a much more effecient sollarpower system.

25. they should make RC cars with this …. !! some lens fore the heat n shit …
