    Holy shnikees – what a kick-ass 2sqm #mirror! 3500°C heat in the focal
    point instantly set light to wood, melt steel and even rock. Waaaaaant!

  2. James ALEXANDER says:

    It is a very expensive mirror. Get over it. Not cost productive. Just like
    large Buses in cities, windmills or air turbines, or solar power. If you
    don’t believe me, ask a Hollywood star that was in Mash who built the
    largest solar panel array in private use. He said it cost more that it
    saved.

    Wiązka światła słonecznego, która jest w stanie stopić/przeciąć każdy
    materiał. Temperatura ponad 3 tysiące stopni Celsjusza i to bez użycia
    butli z tlenem i acetylenem.
