Re: Worlds most efficient solar dish
Cnet has a photo gallery / article, “World’s Most Efficient Solar Dish?”
“This is actually the most efficient solar collector in existence,” said Doug Wood, an inventor based in Washington state who patented key parts of the dish’s design.
They forget that this thing will cook any birds or bugs that fly nearby, so I guess you’d have a big mess pretty soon.
It’ll only fry things near the focal point, it’s not like this is a death ray. =) But yeah, I don’t know what the temperature distribution around the focal point is either…
