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 ads 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 this 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.

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.

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. Use of this video content is at your own risk.

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. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFw7U7V1Hok 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.

This solar ray of Archimedes styled death is how he would have use dthe power of the sun for solar thermal applications Low cost solar cooker. Homemade DIY solar parabolic death ray mirror for solar cooking. This is similar to the parabolic heat cooker I made a few years ago. http://greenpowerscience.com/SHOPHOME.html This construction is much easier and the thinner mylar allows for a much more accurate image of the sun producing amazing bulk temperatures. A stand and Heliostat is optional. I can cook off axis with for or five manual adjustments during a cooking cycle. The longer focal length allows for arrays of up to 25 mirrors at 30 feet. Solar death rays are a term used for parabolic shapes that can redirect sunlight over a longer distance allowing for target illumination. Solar parabolic hacks from mylar blankets are an excellent low cost option for solar parabolic power.

So society is crumbling, there's limited access to fossil fuel, there's chaos in the streets, but you happen to have some flour and baking soda and a solar cooker. You can easily make homemade ramen noodles without any fossil fuel. I used to think of ramen noodles as a low quality convenience food. Still I depended on them back in college and I still love a doctored up packet of fancy ramen noodles from the asian grocery from time to time. But ramen noodles are very popular in Japan, and as with many Japanese things, they have taken it to a level of artisan perfection. You can pretty easily make your own ramen noodles. In this video, I show you how I make ramen noodles without any fossil fuel inputs, using only the power of the sun. #EndtimesRamen #HomemadeRamen #SolarCooker https://www.instagram.com/hardcoresustainable/ https://www.facebook.com/HardcoreSustainable/ http://hardcoresustainable.com

Because of Covid-19 the Long Night of Museums in many museums was canceled but some of them decided to do something despite the virus. Historical and archeological Museum in Elbląg prepared a virtual show about the metallurgy in Truso - Viking age emporium. #officinaferraria

In this video I begin my experiments in turning dirt and branches into a fully functional blacksmith's forge based on ancient designs and techniques! I hope you enjoy the first episode in my series called Scrapcraeft! This series is my digital journal/portfolio where I'll record my progress in trying to learn the most resourceful and crafty ways to make. I filmed this episode under the Snow Moon down at my workshop at the edge of the woods, and boy was it snowy! I'm still a complete novice at each and every medium depicted in this video, but I learned so much in the progress of making this and I hope to share that with you in this video, and in its follow up where I'll refine clay to test other more elegant and crafty forge designs as I continue to experiment with possibilities. The metropolitan museum of art was an extremely useful resource in the process of making this forge, their archived artifacts are far-reaching and the images they provide are beautiful and high quality. https://www.metmuseum.org Andy Ward's Ancient pottery channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/AncientPottery PottedHistory channel: https://www.youtube.com/c/PottedHistory Dr. James Dilly's phenomenal video on copper smelting: https://youtu.be/ErpfUswqe6Y if you enjoyed this video, please subscribe and share it with your friends!

Metal powders are used in many manufacturing techniques in order to produce metal parts. Use of metal powders eliminates waste in comparison with traditional machining and is versatile in creating a variety of metal and alloy components. Powders can be mixed with a variety of different products including polyesters, polyurethanes and epoxy resins. They are great for use when creating a cold cast effect These fillers are more commonly used in resins for producing cold cast metal effects. Generally, higher amounts of metal powder are used to give a true metallic effect. Can be buffed, polished and a patina applied if required. If you are looking for a place to buy metal powder online then you can find them here: https://shop.hdchemicals.co.uk/collections/metal-powders

In this video I show how I make a skillet or frying pan, whatever you like to call it. This is by no means THE way to make a pan, I just used tools and techniques available to me at the moment. I want to give a special thanks to Denis Frechette who opened my eyes when it comes to techniques to raise edges on a pan or vessel.
