Solar Death Ray

The Solar Death Ray From their About page:
About the Solar Death Ray:
The Solar Death Ray is made of 112 mirrors mounted on a platform 4 feet wide and 6 feet tall. Each mirror is a square roughly 3.5 inches on edge. All these mirrors focus the sun to a single spot 5 feet, 6 inches from the mirror platform. A wooden fork extends from the mirror base to the area near the focus and serves as a mounting point for Solar Death Ray targets. The mirror platform is mounted to the support frame on a pivot that allows the platform to be angled. The whole system is mounted on a set of wheels.
The instrument of death itself:

They use different articles for targets - one such is a cassette tape of Hootie and the Blowfish. Quite a series of pictures... Heh... Posted by DaveH at March 22, 2005 8:33 PM
