What size lens are you using in this video ? I just found a 25”x 33” one out of an old projection tv. Is this a viable lens ?

you can produce hydrogen with the energy you get and it is storable

After watching your video and having a understanding of fresnel lenses, how could you use this to store solar electricity if possible

@QwidgyboMan Yes, this works perfectly well. See my other videos and some show that I have built such a system. You can see it in operation.

So let me get this straight. You can put a boiler in the “hot spot” filled with water to create steam, which powers a steam engine, connected to an alternator and then to a battery? Is that viable?
Great video btw.

The brick will …
The brick will continue to heat and will radiate away heat from its bulk- you reach a balance where the incoming energy is matched by the heat loss. Brick and stone are fine for heat mass but water is far more effective overall. Consider that water can be circulated through a radiant floor heating system. I am presently building a solar heating system for my home using this principle.

i’m wondering how hot the whole brick gets and how long it takes for it too cool down. thinking of making some form of solar mass heater…

Actually I am making electricity using this concept. I have some warmup tests for a taste. A very small taste.

The issue is that most people do not have the skill or knowledge to produce a power system using lenses, or much of anything else for that matter.
I have moved my business to Truth or Consequences near the spaceport specifically to set up manufacturing power systems based on this design. I expect to be selling power pods in about six months from the time we open the doors.

funny how we dont see people on here using these lenses to actually “power” things…all we here is talk talk talk and no energy or electricity being produced…boring…

Profound ignorance is what’s wrong with our world today. If you don’t know how something works, it may as well be ‘Magic’.
I appreciate the commentary on the video, it helps in explaining what’s going on in simple terms. 5 stars.
