the airports gonna get pissed at you. lol
There’s a very cool iPhone app called Satellite Augmented Reality. It has a database of over 370 geo sats and lets you view where they are in the sky. It also calculates the azimuth and elevation angles for you based on your location. In addition, it lets you enter a virtual location in order to see what the satellite view would be in, say China, if you are in the US.
Actually, you place the steam generator ( boiler, coil, whatever )at the focal point of the dish connected by a flexible coupling ( stainless reinforces high pressure hose) then to you turbine or sterling engine. The “cost ” would be maintenance on the system, plus just a bit to power the tracking motors). If you live in a climate with enough clear sunny days, go for it, the payback may be long, but properly designed it will work.
Difficult. The parabolic dish needs to track the sun, and do to the nature of fresnel lenses I believe that this beam would be sent along the axis of the dish, right back toward the sun . therefore you would need a series of tracking mirrors to aim this beam to you stove ( As the dish is tracking the sun, the “aim” of this beam would be constantly moving)
What if, by using a fresnel lens, you channel the light just off the focal point into a straight beam. I was thinking of taking that beam down a solar chimney of a sort to use for indoor cooking. if the diameter of the parabolic mirror is 5m(16.4ft), can i then take that light channeled down, and split it into 4 parts and still have enough light to heat 4 stoves?(The stoves using either the solar cooker method or fresnel lenses reflected up onto a large pan). *the chimney = 5m height max.
I wish I could have that in my house greetings from Mexico City!
you wouldnt have to rig a way for the dishes to track the sun, the only moving part would be the steam engine and coil (generator).
death rays are the furtherest thing from my mind. what i’m thking is, with reflective points, fixed… mounted in say a hill side, all focused at a single point, then all one would have to do would be to put a closed water source at that point also, then hook that up to a steam turbine, or even an old steam locomotive engine (piston), hooked to a generator and have a steady, virtualy free source of electricity.
Why would you want to? Are you thinking of a d”death Ray” device. Other than creating a straight beam of light (energy) ( To create a truly straight beam that would hold together for any distance you would need an array of lenses, very precisely calculated and mounted, probably easier to build a laser), The dish has a focal point, hard to improve on a pt.
i guess its cool, but he’s acting like a scientist. i’m just a realist. and what grammar did i use incorrectly bro? i said 3 words.
i wonder if, one could place a fresnel lens at a certain vector along the arc of focal points, that would focus the light, even more so than the reflectors did by themselves?
yes; parabolic dishes, have always been my tendency. I was thinking arrange them in an arc that follows the sun, say in a hillside, mounted in concrete, such that at a certain place, for the better part of the day, you had that one or two k fahrenheit temp. no need to devise a tracking mechanism, once everything was in place, if the sun was shining, you have the energy there in that place.
Perpetual Motion and Free energy are totally different. Free energy is hot water on a garden hose. Light in your house during the day from the sun, a cool breeze lowering your AC thermostat. Natural forces are free in comparison TO PAID UTILITIES or burning wood for cooking.
All things cost money to keep working so I guess nothing is truly FREE. LOL
But, when my Stirling Engine is running off of the sun, FREE:-)
are you idiotic? I hope not.
The sun is providing free energy. So the claim is obviously valid.
A sterling engine is also a scientifically proven engine that was used in submarines and ships.
Perpetual motion is also theoretically possible. Our earth moves around the sun perpetually. Therefore it is in perpetual motion (unless of course something stops its motion around the sun).
Read some books, get a good education, listen to your teacher and then come back and comment.
Whenever I see the words “free energy” and “stirling engine”, your credibility goes down to zero. Why don’t you just come out and say “perpetual motion”.
Dan, you said in video that you had PI shaped templates on your site but I found none. There is no downloads link and under the building a parabola link, there is also nothing.
How rude, Spike. Dan is simply experimenting in his backyard and telling us about it. He never claims to be more of an “expert” on any of this than anyone else. He just has the generousity to take the time to film it and then share it here for FREE with all of us. Get some gratitude. If you don’t appreciate the videos then DON’T watch them. I could make assumptions of your education level based on your lack of grammer and punctuation but I won’t. There is no need for hurtful comments. Dan U Rock
Cool, how is the dish going?
1:17 Wow, pretty shiny mirror. Can I use that as a mirror for a homemade reflecting telescope?
How about learning how to make custom mirrors to begin with.
Dan have you tried making a dish out of your solar reflective film and gauging the effectivness between that and a “proper” one. Stretch some film over the end of a barrel then suck the air out of the barrel. As the vacuum pulls the film tight it forms a pretty perfect parabolic dish. I haven’t played with a proper mirror dish but would like to know the comparisons. Thanks for the video
It actually is a boat number or something. I got it from Garage Band as a sound effect. Glad it was nothing bad:-)
ok ham guys what does the morse code at the end translate to?
you sound like an ass
are you?
good luck calculating a formula… lol look in a book. he acts smart. hes so dumb
