TWO METERS, Zig!  Cast from a single slug?!  Or are we talking about an 

array of flats?

Marc, it sounds like you should have been here at the height of our first Cosmic

Ray observatory.

   We had 2 meter parabolic mirrors with which we could boil and detone/explode

a full cola

can when placed at the focus.

   Great explosion with coke all over h---.

   You put the coke on the end of a very long pole so you didn't get sprayed.

The average time to detonation was 8-10 seconds!  Zig

Howdy-



Many years ago, Bill Beaty suggested a way to make a

very large solar furnace. See

<http://www.amasci.com/amateur/mirror.html>.



Well, someone has actually put one together, and it

works pretty well. See

<http://www.solardeathray.com/>.



You'll want one too. Of course, you could just get a

giant fresnel like the one sold at Electronic Goldmine

<http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/prodinfo.asp?number=G13994&variation=&aitem=5&mitem=102>

I have one of these. They are rather impressive and,

well, dangerous.
