Eerik Wissenz — 2012-02-11T17:15:56Z

Here is a short series of clips of the first day testing the 90m^2 meter model in Rajkot India. There was some leaks in the pipes and not all the mirrors have been perfected, so with further improvements the power should increase.

1. Build a square frame,2. Mount it on a post so that the frame can rotate around it vertically,3. Build some rows and mount them on the frame while allowing them to rotate horizontally,4. Build some reflectors and put them on the rows so that they reflect onto the target, 5. Turn concentrator to face the sun and turn rows to reflect onto your target.6. Heat something. - Oven / Oven
