If you can gather *enough* collective sunlight, and focus it right, you can get it to work. the mythbusters were dealing with certain restrictions, which basically amounts to "the greeks did not have the tools to do this." We do. the fact we can cut metal with lasers is a testament that we have the tools to focus light accurately enough, or the scale required for the level of focus to matter less.

      At least six nickels. The Disney Concert Hall, designed by Frank Gehry, had a similar problem. So did the Museum Tower in Texas and a government building in Milan, plus another in England. The Disney building was sandblasted to make the surface rough. The Museum Tower, a condo building, ironically was designed to reflect light into a museum for natural light. But it wound up harming some artwork.

      Yeah but, as far as I can tell, that concept wouldn't work to produce 360 degrees of death ray. Remember that the sun only shines from a limited range of angles in the southern sky (or northern sky, if you're in the southern hemisphere.) Unless that building has some kind of transparent Fresnel lenses or something, it would only kind of work on the southern side.
      But you could get something like that during Lahaina Noon if you built the building in the tropics and added an outer ring to provide a first bounce of sunlight, so that the building reflects it a second time into a ring.

    I don't think the concept building you showed would work to produce 360 degrees of death ray, even transiently. Remember that the sun only shines from a limited range of angles in the southern sky, (or northern sky, if you're in the southern hemisphere.) Unless that building has some kind of transparent Fresnel lenses or something, it would only kind of work on the southern side.
    But you could get something like that during Lahaina Noon, if you built the building in the tropics and added an outer ring to provide a first bounce of sunlight, so that the building reflects it a second time into a ring. Or you could do it with just the central building if you shaped it like a conical spike with a concave surface.

    There were way too many hours where I for sure thought this was gonna be about Kyle's "friend" lmao.
    I do actually remember hearing about the death ray buildings; kinda hilarious that no one was aware of the potential for this. You gotta assume that someone somewhere knows or else this would have been happening all over the place as people built more and more curvy glass things

    Since Kyle runs around with a detonater then he should do some kind of collab with ElectroBOOM (who's good at making things explode)

    Gotta' say, if I built an accidental death ray once, I'd carry that experience with me for my entire life and actively try to avoid setting birds -alight- *aflame* with walls.

    Wow extreme unintended consequences. My guess is, the buildings were designed to reflect light for the purposes of keeping the interior cool. They just didn't think about where that light would end up!

    I've been loving the TH-cam algorithm because it's been suggesting me this video every single day since it was published, although I've seen it already. And yes, I love it because the thumbnail makes me giggle my vegas-burned-hair off Everytime. Keep irradiating knowledge Mr Kyle!
