I have always been fascinated by taking sun light and concentrating, collecting, converting, and otherwise using it for fun and exciting purposes. But perhaps the most dramatic of these sort of examples is concentrating a whole lot of sunlight into a single point.

Any kid that ever took a magnifying lens outside and burned stuff with it knows that in even just a little bit of sun there is a tremendous amount of energy. Imagine then what you could do if you took a whole lot of sun and concentrated it into a small area! (cue diabolical laughter).

(note the need for mad scientist goggles in the above video, see! I am not the only one that thinks these things are essential for all mad geniuses.)

Heck you can even concentrate the moon light!

These things are no joke!

I so need to get me one of these!
