Solar Death Ray

Solar Death Ray

I built the first Solar Death Ray during the summer of 2004. The original inspiration came from Rob Cockerham's funny site website cockeyed.com. He built a "Mirrored Parabola," an array of mirrors he hoped would boil water. After I read his solar story, I started thinking about what I would have done differently. I built the first Solar Death Ray because I like designing and building things, I thought it would be fun to have, and I wanted to see if I could. It was fun to design and build, and I did have a lot of fun bringing it to parties and barbeques.
