‘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.’
And let’s not forget the gallery, where the results of different experiments are showcased for your delight. Watching it, I came to the conclusion never to eat a Twinkie again. Never mind, I hated them anyway. The Solar Death Ray
