Undergrad Potential temperature of a fresnel lens focal point
Hi, I have a fresnel lens from a old big screen tv and it is roughly 1 meter square. The focal point comes down to roughly 2.5cm square (1"). On a sunny day in Hawaii I can melt copper wire after about a minute. Copper has a melting point of 1083°C (1981.4 °F) . That's some serious fun! I...- munglet
