Project Inspired By:

GreenPowerScience “Fresnel Lens FLASH COOKING EGGS SOLAR POWER SUN OVEN Denise cooking”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45NgOfr2k1k

WARNING: Using a giant Fresnel lens poses risks of dangerous UV exposure to eyes. UV or welding goggles should be warn to minimize the risk. Intense concentrated solar energy may generate temperatures upwards of 3,000ºF causing fires and/or burns. This video is for demonstration purposes only, and is not intended to be duplicated. Use of video content is at your own risk.

Project History & More Info:

What is this device? It’s called a “Fresnel Lens”.

My “Solar Scorcher” project was originally inspired by Dan Rojas of GreenPowerScience: http://youtu.be/JkgFk15uBxw (Fresnel Lens Giant “Big Daddy”)

Kipkay also made one a few years ago he called the “Solar Death Ray”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAT6IRBK_uE

In this experiment, 2 scrambled eggs were cooked with solar power within 20-40 seconds. I used a black metal cooking pan that was pre-heated and buttered, so when the eggs were added, there was plenty of heat to cook them.

If trying to cook eggs sunny side up, it’s a bit more difficult because the egg whites reflect a lot of the heat, and don’t cook as fast. But pre-heating the pan is a great option before adding the eggs.

With scrambled eggs, the yoke is mixed throughout, turning the entire mix a deep yellow. This absorbs heat from the sun a little more readily, and helps it cook faster.

I was amazed at the power that could be harnessed from the sun, so I tried building one of these “Solar Death Rays” for myself.

I call this device the “Solar Scorcher”. Check out some of the links below to learn more about it, and how you can make your own!

► WTF Is… – Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons ?

TotalBiscuit takes a look at the recently released adventure game from Starbreeze Studios.

Get it on Steam: http://bit.ly/14yGhwE

Accusations have been made that this video was a paid for promotion. This is false. The facts are these. Some members of Polaris engaged in a promotional event paid for by Microsoft to promote 4 Xbox Live Summer of Arcade titles, one of which was Brothers. As a PC gaming critic, I did not engage in this promotion. They were required to livestream each Summer of Arcade title on Xbox 360. It is entirely illogical to suggest that this video could be a part of that promotion, since it is of the PC version of the game, was released weeks after Summer of Arcade ended and the PC version of the game has no connection to Microsoft at all, being developed by Starbreeze and published by 505, not Microsoft Game Studios.
