Information

This is a 65" fresnel lens with crazy capabilities for science and fun! I have used it in the past to cook burgers (which it does very easily and they turn out great), melt rocks and metal in seconds, and even melt the graphite from a pencil! a long while ago I did the math and found it outputs around 1.6 kilowatts of energy constantly on a sunny day, and even more during the summer. if you want to you can do math with that figure to see what its capabilities are (accounting for the reflectiveness of the object) It only works on sunny days, so if you schedule it for 1 day on a day when there is less than 2 hours of useable sunlight, I'll reschedule it for free Safety warnings: 1. Only use if you are an experienced, trained adult. Read up on this stuff before use 2. use welding goggles or greater eye protection while using this item, this is more light than even 2 pairs of sunglasses can block out 3. Extremely hot, do not put your body parts under it for even a second, and always use tongs to hold objects under the light, this thing can melt a penny in 3-5 seconds at the focal point 4. Make sure to use disposable tongs and/or keep your tongs away from the focal point- yes I have seen them melt as well other than that, it is a very useful tool and can accomplish tasks other tech cant even dream of.
