Homemade incinerator beam!
 
The parts can be found at your local dollar store, and it scales up reasonably well.

Be sure to ask permission from any women in the house before you try this at home, and be careful.

Note:
I did keep the garden hose on hand for safety, and used it twice. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif <hr> http://imagemodserver.mine.nu/nick/t...burn_setup.jpg<hr> http://imagemodserver.mine.nu/nick/tempstuff/4-burn.jpgThat stick is about a centimeter in diameter, and the end fell off about three seconds later.

It has nothing to do with Poker.

However, I have recently acquired the parts nessesary to quadruple the power, and tomorrow should be a sunnier day. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/shock.gif

Bah...

A giant Fresnel Lens will do things like this, and more.

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Indeed it does, just send those photos to your opponents and i'm sure they'll surrender. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

But thats pretty impressive considering it's home parts and stuff. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I do have a fresnel lens, but its more trouble and the focal length on it is too short. (Its off a busted overhead projector, so about 30cm on a side, but the focal length is about 10cm)

These mirrors are cheaper too.

Ok, given all this, why hasn't anybody tried to generate steam electric power from sunlight?
