In this video I test out my new giant Fresnel lens. I show how it ignites wood in about 1 second. Then I stick a rock under the lens and it immediately starts popping do to the extreme heat. The rock gets red hot under the extreme heat of the concentrated sun. Then I melt some indium metal and some soldering wire under the heat of the sun. A Fresnel lens works by using a bunch of scribed lines cut that reflect the sun towards one center spot. This is different than a curved lens that uses much more volume to achieve the same affect.
