PARABOLIC MIRROR 55.7″ PARABOLOID SOLAR POWER STEAM GENERATION Concave Mirror Solar Parabola 2
This is the second video with the 55.7" Parabolic Dish. The water boiled in 90 Seconds from 50F. The container is a Venom Energy Drink made out of thicker gauge Aluminum. I added some black paint to the back but kept the from because it is a cool design. The drink was too sweet for me:-) This dish was slightly damaged so I softened the dents and corrected the surface. This dish is operating at full strength even with the slight damage. It was like that when I got it. I decided to test this ...

maybe buy better microphone mr. & mrs. rojas…
very funny… but not good to fry ants with sunlight… poor little creatures–i fried a few in my childhood, and am worried about karmic imbalance until today
Now all we need are giant ants.
lets get a bigger paraboloid & shoot down that balloon next time it passes by
when you were frustrated with the blimp you walked past it and waved your hand dangerously close to the focal point.
how is the mirror made?
Goodyear blimp ftw!
Dan…wear uv shades or welders eye protection. We can’t afford to lose you if you go blind. There’s something I want to ask and that is…Do you work in R&D on the base? I think so because only R&D folks have knowledge base to construct and implement devices like yours.
hot coffee
yumm….~
Im using my 2nd acount to delete the negative points hehe
too fast are you ok
oh no! what an inconvenience… lol
Not ignorant sir. We know about these things but we just don’t care about hot water and these things are hard to find.
People are ignorant, I think
Nice: ever think of a molten salt container for the focal point = Steam Power —–> Generator.
Thanks for all your hard work
the water boils too fast
Be smart – don’t pay any more electricity bills. more info: solar.xfollow.me (Copy to your browser’s address bar)
you should of pointed the mirror at the blimp
Hey idiot you knocked the dish over, lol Jk nice video. Btw you should have Qued the blimp instead.
and the reason third world countries cant have boiled clean water is??????????????
??
You know what, that is pretty impressive, solar power is the future, hot countries will thrive.
Yes but the energy is the same. Closer yields a large focusing spot with a lower maximum temperature, larger area.
For water it is best to not be at optimal and illuminate the entire side of the container. The larger area looses less heat and transfers faster. Super high temperatures leach a lot into the atmosphere reducing efficiency. Since I was just holding this it was in and out.
Hi Dan. Regarding fresnel lenses and parabolic dishes- is there a positive correlation between temperature and distance for all points between the focal distance and the lens/dish ?
If you take an old-style (C-band) satellite dish mount and change the elevation and inclination to follow the track of the sun, you can use this method, although it works best with a polar type dish mount. You wouldn’t believe the number of these dish mounts I scrapped back in the 90′s when I was a satellite installer, when people went from C-band (10′ dishes) to DirecTV… Now I wish I’d held on to a few… If you’d like a rough diagram of how one of these mounts is put together, email me…
Dan,
Was this a preliminary test to find the dish’s focal point? And do you intend to build a bracket to that point? Keep the good ideas coming- you’re giving all of us out here a lot of things to think about… Thanks!
yes you can cook with it. just place a dark colored pot or pan in the focal point on a rack or something, and you can boil water or cook food it works.
