A midsize luxury sedan that offers all the right sounds, balance, and handling expected from the BMW badge. At the same time, that badge means you will pay more for this car relative to it’s competition. If you have to go with a German brand, this car is the original and one of the best. At the same time, we’d recommend checking out it’s Japanese competition if value and lower ownership cost is more important for you.

Melt a stack of pennies, burst a glass bottle, damage various food items, and incinerate wood using the power of the Sun! This 4 foot magnifying lens will melt concrete, and nearly anything else that gets in its way.

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

WARNING:

This project should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in serious injury property damage, or death. Concentrated solar energy can start fires and cause personal and property damage. Concentrated UV radiation may cause blindness. Do not look directly at focal point without eye protection like welding goggles. Burning of metals like zinc, may release toxic gasses that can be harmful if inhaled. Extreme caution is advised.

Project History & More Info:

LEGALITIES: Some people have asked about the legality of treating pennies in this manner. The federal law states that there are exceptions made for use as “educational, amusement, novelty, jewelry, and similar purposes as long as the volumes treated and the nature of the treatment make it clear that such treatment is not intended as a means by which to profit solely from the value of the metal content of the coins.” For more information, see: https://www.federalregister.gov/articles/2007/04/16/E7-7088/prohibition-on-the-exportation-melting-or-treatment-of-5-cent-and-one-cent-coins

A 4 foot magnifying glass is powerful enough to melt metal, incinerate wood, and burn holes in concrete.

Putting that statement to the test with various items was the purpose of this project. I’m impressed at the results, and excited at the power available through this Fresnel lens that I’ve nicknamed my “Solar Scorcher”.

In the summer, the sunlight at this spot is around 2000ºF, maybe more. Enough to melt spots of concrete into glowing orange liquid.

I’m curious to see what I can do with all this heat so I’ve filled a glass bottle with water and I’ll punch a hole in the cap. It’s incredible to see that the instant I focus my lens on the bottle, it starts smoking. Just a few moments later this water is so hot it’s boiling, and I’m a little nervous the bottle might blow. Yep, there it goes. I’ll try burning a penny, and, wow, it melted. How about a stack of pennies? Yep, they’re nothing but liquid metal now, and I’m thinking that slag in the mixture must be what’s left of the copper coating. It’s only taking about 4 seconds to melt these.

Well, I’m convinced there’s an insane amount of power behind these lenses. If you’d like to see where I got this one, take a look at my video on how I hacked it out of an old TV.

This one boiled water in less than a minute, welded a nickel to concrete, and instantly torched any piece of wood in it’s way.

It was brought to my attention that Kipkay did a project like a couple of years ago that he called the “Solar Death Ray”. Check out his awesome video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAT6IRBK_uE

WARNING:

This project should not be attempted without adult supervision and adequate training. Misuse, or careless use, of tools or projects may result in serious injury or death.

Project History & More Info:

These TV’s are old, extremely heavy, and are breaking down on people everywhere. They usually cost more to fix than they could be sold for, so people are begging you to come take them away for free!

I usually find mine on the classified adds under the “free” section, but they are also common on the sides of streets and alleyways where people have left them for trash.

PLEASE NOTE: These lenses are found in “rear-projection” televisions and not all are the same. Some are discolored, and some concentrate to a beam rather than a point. The particular screen I found was a crystal clear acrylic lens that focused to a point. It may have been luck that I found it on my first try, because 3 TV’s after that all had lesser grade lenses, but still produced enough heat to melt zinc. Just FYI! You can also see http://youtu.be/xExXjXm0YV0 for examples of these different lenses.

It was brought to my attention that Kipkay did a project like a couple of years ago that he called the “Solar Death Ray”. It’s probably where FenceKid got the idea, which in turn, inspired me. Check out his awesome video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAT6IRBK_uE

Honda’s Fit sub-compact essentially redefined the market and forced other automakers to catch up to their level. Now, in its third year, in its second generation, it would seem that the competition is breathing right down the Fit’s neck and Honda has some catching up to do. Luckily, the bones of this vehicle are still impressive and as soon as Honda smooths out the rough edges, they will once again have a class leader on their hands.

Like us on Facebook @ http://www.Facebook.com/2Redline Toyota’s Rav4 may be the original compact SUV, but being the original doesn’t always mean you’re the best. While the third generation may have been top of class back in 2006, today it is one of the oldest in the market. A potent V6 keeps things interesting, but it’s cheap and slightly snug interior may have you running toward newer competition.

If you are looking for the “James Bond” of family sedans, look no further than Ford’s completely redesigned, third generation Fusion Titanium. Jaw dropping looks, combined with sharp handling, and impressive powertrains, produce one well rounded family sedan. We think if Ford improves on their value card as well as making the interior a bit more user friendly they could really have a best in class vehicle, until then, we think it’s top 3.

What do you get when you combine parts from an old battery pack with some common household ingredients? Mix them together and you get these .. A batch of super cheap, and easy to make, smoke flares.

Project History & More Info:

This recipe is similar to ones tried in amateur sugar rocketry. I’m using a 60/40 mix of KNO3 and white table sugar by weight, and I’m going to make a 400 gram batch to fill 10-15 containers that I’ll use for smoke/signal flares. My testing indicates that the finer the composition is mixed, the faster it burns. I want these to burn slower so they don’t take off like rockets, and produce more smoke, so I’m trying not to mix them more than I have to.

I got the containers for the signal flares by hacking open an old cordless drill battery casing, and taking the paper casings from the individual battery cells.

Fuses were homemade, and made in another project.

These types of devices may not be legal to make or use in your area, so check local laws before attempting to duplicate this project, and as always, be safe!

Quite literally like driving a time machine, Dodge’s reintroduced Challenger can draw quite a few stares out on the road despite being in it’s fifth model year. We think it could benefit from a substantial weight reduction and more playful handling, while retaining it’s comfy ride and quiet interior.
