Hey guys, my evil schemes such as this one has led me to your awesome site, and I'd like to run this idea by you.
An array of a dozen or so full size (3' x 5') mirrors is set up, in a semi circle to all reflect the sun to a square in the center of the circle.
At the center is a box. The top of the box will be a mirror that will direct the light down, onto a fresnel lens of the appropriate size. This will direct the light into some collimating optics. These optics could be made of something other than glass, like diamonds or some mineral so they could withstand the tremendous heat.
Hopefully from here you would be able to redirect the light to a target that you want to UNLEASH DESTRUCTION upon.
I know next to nothing about optics- do you guys think this would work?
