Using and fresnel lens and a swivel frame I and able to instantly catch wood on fire, melt rock, dirt and metal. Also shown here is a focus tube. While not completely needed, it is hard to guess the positioning when using something this large. Commonly seen, using a small magnifying glass, You get a V-shape curve of light if off angle to the sun instead of a spot which spreads the heat over a larger area. With a large fresnel lens you can already see that a lot of light is scattered around the main spot. So by using this it makes it quick to set up and reduces the light scatter as much a possible.
Wonderful, guy! Just please be careful not to breathe the fumes from all those things. There are minerals that can be deadly in your blood stream. A lot of ceramic artists have learned the hard way that many of the glazes used to make beautiful finishes have HEAVY METALS. The wood of some trees has toxic chemicals, that can poison you if you breath the dust generated as you saw or sand to get those fine surfaces. Thanks for Sharing your experiments.
David March Animator & Fiddler oh look the health and safety police have arrived
Osama bin liftin
I think that could be better described as the ‘common sense police.’
@@osamabinliftin1981 any problems?
Is it possible to melt granite into a mold with this technic?
I think you would just need a lot of heat and good insulation, but it's certainly possible. With a will! 😊🌎☀️
Very nice spot lens you got there. Recently sanded and polished a linear lens into a spot lens and now it melts rock in no time at all
I have wanted to try out this on quartz crystal ,see if can produce small electric current. This is sooo COOOOL !
You can melt the quartz to liquid
1:36 skull shape in the dirt
Saw that too
+Nathan Algeo Saw it too :D
abdul123r omg I see it
Where?
Oh yeah i see it
Yeah lets hold the rock with my hands and hope it wont get burned.
i knew it! THE SUN IS A DEADLY LAZER
The sun is the source of all energy.
You should try forging a knife with it. Carbon nuetral blacksmithing!!!!!
Another thing you can do for a sun finder is to make 4 holes near the edge of the tube laid out on a cross pattern. When you can see all 4 lights on the screen, you are pointing towards the sun
do you think this is how they made the pyramids in Egypt? melt the rock into molds somehow? its just a question! could this be possible?
No. No advanced tech is required to cut and move rock, just thousands of workers and plenty of time.

I am beyond impressed!
Great video. Did you experiment with this any further? Would be interesting to see what would happen if you left that rock under the beam of light for longer.
video was made 2013, but if he did it would turn into lava then when it cools obsidian
@@hewhosmeltitdealtit5553 thanks for the reply! What do you suppose would happen if it cooled slowly? Would the resulting rock have different properties? Like...would be be less brittle than obsidian?
@@FormerlyKnownAsAndrew idk I'm not good at this kind of stuff but I think it's just gonna stay as obsidian
This is probably what our ancestors used to make things out of stone
okay okay, that thing can smelt:
rock
stone
iron
AND YOUR HAND!!!!
And ur face if ur not carefull
Ancient knowledge concerning the cutting of large granite rocks
Great vid, Thanks. Starting to make more sense on how the Inca and Egyptians made megalithic stones out of granite. How do you focus it down even more concentrated though?
Yeah. Thought the same
The Egyptians didn't cut stone they made concrete
@@James_the_Builder The Maya made concrete
too, never heard of Egyptian concrete. Can you post a link
@@LotsofStuffYT th-cam.com/video/KMAtkjy_YK4/w-d-xo.html
It begins with making the primary lens perfect and suited for the task. Making the primary lens perfect/optimal, skips over the need and heat build up of the second concentrators. 🌎☀️
Please record magnified Moon light and record temps!
Wow great idea!
can u smell what the rock is cooking
Pikachue---DAMN, I wish I would have thought of that one!! Great line
That was the Great One!(pun)
Its colder to the touch and magnifying it with freeze water in a cup
Great we live in the uk...sun?
I was messing around with one of these at work out of a plasma tv, i didn't know it actually got rock that hot i thought it was just the tar in the asphalt reacting with it.
I know rocks can be made so hot as to glow red, like in a barbecue for example. However, I have yet to witness rock being melted into lava using any known man made tech. Cool video though, no pun intended.
Nice DEW. You haven't been in northern California recently, have you? LOL!
Good, Roth$childs don't like competition!
Solar Forging...neat.
Compliment for your work and project! As soon as I can I will buy you one lens :)
really cool about the focus tube... better for my eyes than looking at the pattern heh
Is there any way to stop it turning black? would different stones work like igneous rocks basalt/granite or carbonate rocks like marble/limestone. Instead of using a frame would quartz magnify the sun?
I wonder what happens if you put a series of Fresnel lenses in a daisy chain. Would that increase output? I'm thinking about carving a small home out of a very large rock on my property. If I could just melt the rock that would be pretty helpful.
While I know it's a joke, you cannot create more power my several. It would actually decrease the heat. The focal point would not change and then light would have to pass through more, decreasing the light. It would be similar if you had a hazy day compared to a sunny day.
OrionA51 I actually was not joking about carving a home out of rock. It's called Rock-cut architecture and I'm researching different ways to go about it. Thanks for the info though. It dawned on me that I might be able to melt a good sized portion of rock using several Fresnel lenses, not in a daisy chain but all aimed at the same spot and just start scooping the melting rock away with a small shovel little by little. Once inside the rock where there is no sunlight I guess a person could use mirrors to bring a hot beams inside and aim them wherever you want. It sounds crazy but the sun can be very intense where I live and when I saw that video of the guy melting the steel paddle lock I thought... hmm.
You cannot aim a fresnel lens. You'd have to you a mirror. Good luck doing that
If you set up the lenses in a way that it would cover a huge surface area, and "aimed" using mirrors to a single point, you could potentially get some extreme heat.
I said 'daisy' chain, but I think what I meant to say was, just several mirrors aimed at the same spot to increase power. Of course to carve out the interior of a space you would need to go around corners as well, requiring some kind of chain of mirrors.
I just watched a guy using a large fresnel lens to melt rock. But it doesn't CUT. It burns and liquified the stone, cutting optically flat surfaces or perfect holes, nope.
If you applied force with oxygen or compressed air at the spot that is melting it would fuel the burning process and clear the melted material exposing the next later to melt away. This is how cutting torches work.
if you make a cooking show with this, I'll vote you for president. I'm being serious.
that dirt looked like skull
DUDE YES! I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Dont u burn your hands?
I bet you could do some cuting with that set up. I wonder if you had the right mirrors you could use it like acetylene torch. It wouldn't work as well because you wouldn't have the boost valve to cut but I'm sure at very least get some rusty bolts off that rust bucket you are working on.
that is absolutely amazing
1:35, the molten dirt kinda looks like a skull
Did anyone else see the skull in the dirt?
Out of interest has anyone ever tried to put a fresnel lens on a gold mirror bowl would this make it much stronger ?
The tight fitting blocks are created, soft blob by soft blob (either wholly soft, less likely, or partially softened, a few inches in from their surface, after an unknown ancient softening material is applied), continuously getting shaped as they're placed in the structure until it is filled in completely. Timing is important in the construction so that blocks don't stick to each other and that when more material is added to an incomplete block or "stone" that it blends into it seamlessly (those two things are opposite each other!). In other words a shaper stands there forming the block as more soft "rock" (ancient lost recipe of a slow-working softening agent for natural rocks) is added until it's the right shape and size. Then let to cool or set or dry or harden, slowly over days or weeks, until the next block can be placed and shaped without it sticking to adjacent blocks. it's an easy yet slow and methodical process. Exactly the same as what sidewalk makers in a city do. I think the consistency would be like Taffy. Once a new adjoining block on the top of a wall has hardened, the shape'r persons prep the next spot, likely a type of molding process. Then the "plastic" "rock" is delivered in manageable sized chunks there to be added. It MELDS with the previous chunk SEAMLESSLY or! it's treated as a NEW block and waits for the surrounding finished blocks to set first. The "shaper" decides when there the block is finished and when the next block is started.
1. this solves the problem of having to transport large blocks down and up valleys all at once. There are variations on this theme depending on where in the world its done, but basically material rock is cut out of a quarry and then cut into manageable sizes for transport.
2. this rock material is then softened and placed on the wall where the shape'rs take over. This softness or plasticity is how you get the "You can't fit a razor,paper,hair,knife, or Light, between the blocks." tightness.
3. They build slowly, waiting for each new finished block to "SET" first, so it doesn't stick to the next block.
4. On solid rock walls they APPLIED the unkown agent to it to soften it to a certain depth where they can easily "scoop" it out akin to the area around

easy peasy
peace
But how would they transport the melted granite/limestone
2.3 million block's. Theyd literally still be making it
do steel beams
1:39 looks like a metal skull
best way to get a suntan confirmed. You should all try it
I tried and work just fine. I'm using this amazing technology to create a machine that generate power 220v and 110v at 6000Kwh. Thank you for the video it changed my life
That’s exactly what I’m looking for. Once I learned you could build something powerful enough to melt stone I began to wonder if we could use it to harness energy.
Should use welding glasses to protect eyes from reflected light when burning, melting rock etc. I think lots of kids get eye damage this way so it's good to warn parents etc.
Have you tried used a large magnifier glass to further concentrate the light?
That won't work. Light can only be focused to a point once, but if you tried that, it would heat up the glass and possibly melt it. Creating a pinpoint focus is possible, but there's so much heat that it would be difficult. Best to use a perfect parabola instead of a fresnel.
Can you do this with a longer tube with limestone? Would love to see
Just like Doc Ock says, *”The Power of the Sun, in the Palm of my Hand”*
That isn't a "focus" tube, it's a "direction" tube. It has nothing to do with focus.
So this is how the ancient egyptians molded the stones
Awesome information!
WOW!
Never thought this possible.
congrats, u just blew the secrets of how megalithic stones where moved molded transported and placed in liquid form, then after it being set let dry tada
+Anthony Rivera no sorry , if you melt granite into lava the resulting rock when cool will not have the crystals structure anymore , you will end up with a kind of rock slag , not taking in account the refractory mould needed
ahhahaha i hope you're not serious ahha
did anyone else see the skull that was burnt into the sand?
That is F***ing awesome!! I want one!
That would be hours of fun!
Is it possible to melt granite into a mold? I mean to create a statue or anything.
I’m not sure about granite. Might just need to google the melting temp of it.
th-cam.com/video/KMAtkjy_YK4/w-d-xo.html
No it's not possible. If you melt granite it will turn into obsidian. You could probably make an obsidian statue though
that took 2 hours to build?
Thumbs upped just because you pronounced it right!
1:36 I see Skull with red eyes and teeth
He totally didn't copy that from KingOfRandom. I mean common. His name is Random Ryan and his melting a rock with a very similar thing KingOfRandom used in his video in 2012! A year before this video!!! He also presents it very closely like KingOfRandom He burns the stick and says "Instant fire" just like KingOfRandom
marc smelik I never knew who that was when I made this video. First time I seen something like this was from green power science and I wanted to make my own. I only recently changed my channel name with the word "random" because I have done very random videos over the years from short films to simple educational videos. In fact I have been called "Random Ryan" by friends so it only made sense to go with it.
Also who cares where the idea comes from, I never claim anything here. The commonality of anything in this video is about as coincidental as 100 people figuring out how to make and use a crowbar.
is that from Grant thompson
Ikr
Where can i avail to buy that lens?
When the sun expands in a billion years? That's game over for the whole Earth.
Stan TheObserver not just the earth, but all life in the solar system. There is no escaping it. I doubt human life will have existed long enough to see that happen though. People don’t realize how temporary our existence is. Even if the nearest star had a habitable planet to escape to, it would take around 70,000 years to get there. Nothing mechanical or even physically lasts that long. Well except maybe rocks.
@@GrowingAnswers Elon Musk says that if we had an armagedom tomorrow? Within one thousand years there will no sign we even existed as a higher society..all recorded info will dissolve..books,CD,DVD..lol..all of it. I forget what he said about the total time of man's time on Earth- Pyramids,cave paintings..would also disappear..but I would guess a million years would turn all man made things to dust.
How come it doesn’t burn the grass
Okay, but what does this have to do with anything?
And who didn't know you could burn stuff with a magnifying glass and the sun?
What size is your lense sir?
If the ancients used this technology, where'd they get their highly polished glass lenses?
th-cam.com/video/KMAtkjy_YK4/w-d-xo.html
So this should work excellent to operate a steam generator
Did you try to use it for boiling water like heating with it the rocks that are in the water (or on the surface of the water) ?
No
Can you buy one of these from Aldi? ;o)
An inferno vs a Golem in real life XD
did it tested that smelted rock for gold?!?!?!
what about multiple lens?
dude just holding it with his hands like ummmmmm ouch
Dude, don't put your hand so close to that. It melts steel in moments.
can u make video about "how to make this platform for dummies like me" cuz i didnt understand how to make as well yours
Why stop at a pea size melting spot on the rock?
Why not test to see if the suns rays will burn through?
It wouldn’t. For a few reasons. One is that the focal point changes with depth so it would have to adjusted vertically in a linear fashion with time. Two, the molten glass would collect into a larger pool with time and and act as a increasing heat sink. Three, since light is not a physical object it has no force to move material out of the way to allow heat to penetrate deeper. This could be remedied in theory by having the light shine in on a horizontal path and the melting material would fall out of the way and then have a stepper motor move either the rock or the lens closer per unit time. That would require probably only a mirror or 2 and some precise mechanisms to track movement. Or the less engineered way is to just use a really thin rock.
1:28 A skull in the dirt
I wonder. Can that lense burn hot enough to smith metal?
orlando kaufusi yes.
you killed the dirt so hard it showed its skull
People still think aliens built the pyramids 😁 Imagine melting rock or pummel stones and pouring it into a mold or cast...it would look like laser precision 😏
ya but the sun moves
This is how egipcians melted stone and made the pyramids .
The Egyptians didn't melt stone they heated up a inorganic mixture of limestone dust etc and made a molten concrete
@@James_the_Builder yeah. I've just mixed the contexts. You're right.
Me trying to figure out why the grass wasn't engulfed
So this is how they built the pyramides?
Good 💭.But it is not possible to get large sized Rock
Thats how they to the world resets. Plasma melting. Mud flood reset also
Have you tried the lense on graphite powder
Why isn’t the grass burning
Do you realise how dangerous that Lens could be in the wrong hands ??
...
Where do I get one ??
Gazza Schmo if a child played with it, yes it would be dangerous. You get it from an old projection tv.
Oh cool, my bro has one of these and he used it to melt pennies.
Your voice in this video recording sounds like a turian from mass effect
Where i can got this glass
where may I ask did you procure a lens?
Shawn Imlay old projection tv screen
You could also not touch any of those test objects with your hands.
How to make lava at home
Great
Very heartening, keep up the good work. Knowledge builds and refines. We'll be smithing in the bush to manufacture what we need to overthrow the ruling elite.
Sand actually, sandstone...
Fantastic to find someone who actually knows how to spell Fresnel. Most of the science rockets who post vids spell it frenel. Funny shit, huh?
Purpose?
Do this in Australia it will mealt diamond
This prolly is Brighter than my future
what do you need for converting it to a planet destroyer?
An Emperor, Darth Vader and a lot of money.
This is NOT melting rock, but merely burning the surface of the rock.
Correction melting “the surface” of the rock.
can someone please tell me where to get that big of a magnifying sheet
From a projection TV. And not all will work. Depends on the hot spot. I got lucky with my find
