Re: [Phys-l] fire starter from the sun - revisited



Bob at PC said, "Depends on the desired result - if you are boiling a
large pot of water, the mirrors are better (surface area) - if you are
trying to quickly burn the wings off a bug without killing it, then a
100 mm diameter lens might be better."

I thought we were trying to start a fire. Seems like that's in the
subject line of the thread.
