Don't know why I did this. Guess I'm getting bored waiting for workable transparancies

Just thought I'd see if I could make a quick parabolic mirror to focus the sun on one spot. It's obviously not a matematically correct parabolic (Not a very tightly focused beam), but at least in theory it works.

Now we can set up a whole field of these things to pump more power into Maxwell!

I'm thinkin....

dude....

you got WAYYY too much time on your hands.

ummm....

can I have some?

If we had just one lowly SuperStarDestroyer, all of earth's problems would rapidly become rather trite. I mean, who worries about war in the middle east when a 1.5km death triangle is in orbit.

cool.... another nice idea. How about getting the focus point on a white
wall or so?

I did a bunch of these working on making a "spotlight"... I can generate parabolic objects with a defined focal point if you want one... just give the dimensions...
