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.

The Action Lab The Action Lab is a channel dedicated to performing exciting experiments and answering questions you never thought to ask! I'll put things in my hydraulic press, vacuum chamber and perform countless other experiments just to watch cool phenomenon. I experiment on the world and objects around me. You'll be so amazed that you'll forget you are even learning anything! Please enjoy as I continually answer the "what would happen if..." questions you have. Feel free to comment with any scientific questions you have about anything. I have made my career as a PhD in Chemical Engineer and now I want to share how awesome science and experimentation can be!
