Best Source For Solar Power Lights & Energy
This video is a shortened version of preparing the panels for a MESH DISH conversion. The Acrylic mirror is .118 this is also considered 1/8″ Thicker material does not form well. This is the basics for cutting the material.
Hi, my name is Scott Markham and I'm an average Joe who happens to be passionate about the environment. Cutting edge forms of renewable energy (solar power being just one of them) are of particular interest to me.
I wholeheartedly believe that exploring new forms of energy is the best way to pass on a positive legacy to our offspring while preserving the environment.
I like to share my online research findings and discoveries with others through my blog that you're reading now...

thanks for info
What do you think of those new saws that have two saw blades that run in opposite directions?
dan you need to get a router lol you will love it
did you finish working on this,? i would like to see what can this huge parabolic mirror burn:!!
I wonder if you could make your death ray mirrors round, wouldn’t that give a sharper point? I am going to try it with the 12” mirrors that I have. Thanks
Mirrors work but you lose 30% of the potential power based on losing the curve. If you have the mirrors they will work.
I lined a small satellite dish with 1/2 inch square mirrors, gluing them on with latex paint, dipping each mirror one at a time in a shallow spread of paint. It has withstood heavy rain and hail with no lost mirrors. I did’nt sand the surface first. No prep at all.
One of your videos you said that a small satellite dish needs to be sanded before trying to attach mirrors. I cut 1/2 square mirrors and just glued them on the dish with flat latex paint. It has withstood heavy rain and hail without losing a single mirror. The focal point is very small, about an inch. Works very nice.
Thank you for the info
Dan, I like the idea of using a piece of clear to make your template. The dish that has the channels to hold the panels in place is nice also. In my case I only had a dish with mesh panels that were held in place with large panhead screws thru the mesh it worked ok but not nearly as well as the channel type. I might try to install some sort of channel material to support the panels then recut my panels to fit.
South Park:-) Vrooom
Group of fags are passing by >:(
lol
ty south park
i´m doing a voiceover for most of this video because WROOOOOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!!
what the hell is the mask for lol
That was a wonderful demonstration. May God bless you and your family.
looks tedious and time consuming… find someone with a laser cnc table!!
Where do you get this acrylic? I am in the technological back waters of southwest Florida and seem to have nothing available. Also in your other video you had an adhesive mylar – again where are you getting this stuff? Love your videos – pretty cool stuff! Thanks!
Absolutely. Consider ammonia in a closed system, as it has a lower boiling point.
I’ve looked at small scale urban farming as well (rabbits, chickens, worms, fish, garden). I’ve worked out the biomasses, and a great deal can be knocked off a grocery bill with small animal husbandry that most cities would allow.
Cooking a turkey is hard under any circumstances. Low and slow is best, so that means moving the dish pretty often (every 15 min?). Cook a small bird! If you can hang a big dutch oven to heat up (past the strongest focus!) that would be optimal for consistent temps. Also, ignore Martha Stewart and cook the bird breast side down. Not quite as pretty, but much more succulent!
The V/O works really well. Sometimes a shorter video is better, providing the same info in a tighter segment.
It may be cheaper to put a lot of little ones into low orbit and independently aim each one to reflect to a single spot. Not that I want to give any James Bond super villains any ideas!
melt a dang statue during summer.
The more teeth on the blade the cleaner the cut.
so what about the final item i would like to see what you can do with it
can you boil water?
heat a house ?
bother your neighbor?
i would like a follow up video
please?
