The parabolic mirror technology is at least 1000 years old.

It burned, but I’m sure he can build another one. A future entrepreneur, no doubt.

Seems it would be easy to convert the energy into a home power source.

Oh, wait, I see ... the author doesn't know what "satellite" means.

he needs to direct that focal point... make some kind of rudimentary prism to collect direct that beam... then he’d have something?

Someone needs to turn this kid onto some welders gloves. He’s just asking to burn off his hand.

Uh huh. Did anyone suggest remedial math and astronomy for the kid?

The ray generates enough power to melt steel, vaporize aluminum, boil concrete, turn dirt into lava, and obliterate any organic material in an instant.Except for a Chuck Norris roundhouse kick...

It’s a solar oven, not a death ray. The light—and heat—are concentrated at the focus of the mirror, not projected outward. Still, it’s a fun high school project, and requires careful mechanical work to be that effective.
To: numberonepal
A large fresnel lens will get you to the same place. Focusing the solar energy of a large area into a single beam or point.
These things are extremely dangerous...this kid better be real careful.

his 'death ray' dish met it's own grisly end when it was destroyed in a shed fire.
Yea, right! I suspect it's been placed in a secret location so as not to be stolen by enemy agents......
Way to go kid!

He BUILT a composite parabolic mirror.
He didn’t “invent” anything.
