    Hey, man, Star Wars was just a movie.

  2. thorargent says:

    No, Star Wars was a military directed energy project as well, including beam weapons and kinetic kill weapons. I worked on some portions of it.

    Way to take something rad and make it boring. 0 stars.

    Profound ignorance is what’s wrong with our world today. If you don’t know how something works, it may as well be ‘Magic’.

    I appreciate the commentary on the video, it helps in explaining what’s going on in simple terms. 5 stars.

    rofl. look at your grammar and its obvious you didn’t even go to school

    Someplace 4merCIA should have tried to go to. We all know they have minimum IQ requirements so he would never get in. still he could have tried.

    Great ♥ !!! I have FULL step-by-step guide “HOW TO BUILD CHEAP SOLAR PANELS FOR HOME”

    Shouldn’t be better to use red color lance to heat water.

    funny how we dont see people on here using these lenses to actually “power” things…all we here is talk talk talk and no energy or electricity being produced…boring…

  12. thorargent says:

    The issue is that most people do not have the skill or knowledge to produce a power system using lenses, or much of anything else for that matter.

    I have moved my business to Truth or Consequences near the spaceport specifically to set up manufacturing power systems based on this design. I expect to be selling power pods in about six months from the time we open the doors.

    Actually I am making electricity using this concept. I have some warmup tests for a taste. A very small taste.

    Awesome stuff

  15. luc59457 says:

    I am making some power with this stuff.. And I have done some calculations.

    I built my own Solar Panels for UNDER $100 which are currently providing free electricity for my 1700 Square Foot home using the plans at:

    actually there are solar power plants in the mojave desert in california

    i’m wondering how hot the whole brick gets and how long it takes for it too cool down. thinking of making some form of solar mass heater…

  21. thorargent says:

    The brick will continue to heat and will radiate away heat from its bulk- you reach a balance where the incoming energy is matched by the heat loss. Brick and stone are fine for heat mass but water is far more effective overall. Consider that water can be circulated through a radiant floor heating system. I am presently building a solar heating system for my home using this principle.

  22. QwidgyboMan says:

    So let me get this straight. You can put a boiler in the “hot spot” filled with water to create steam, which powers a steam engine, connected to an alternator and then to a battery? Is that viable?

    Great video btw.

  23. thorargent says:

    @QwidgyboMan Yes, this works perfectly well. See my other videos and some show that I have built such a system. You can see it in operation.

    WOOT WOOT!!! go solar power!!

  25. smkurtz says:

    After watching your video and having a understanding of fresnel lenses, how could you use this to store solar electricity if possible
