I remember this one and just watched it again, Dan. Wow! So much great information packed into a short video. When fully absorbed, the knowledge is as powerful as the sun and lenses within the videos.😉 Thanks for sharing your love for science and making it fun for all of us, Dan!👍 You're a great teacher and an asset to the scientific community.👏
Do you think I could use this method to image the airflow in front of a turbo jet engine?

This is somehow related with how ancient egyptians used solar energy in the pyramids.
can we see the Venus transit through this ?
Awesome man!
Cool!You can even see the sound with this method,but you will need a high fps camera.
Looks like it could possibly serve as an interesting means to detect Pollutants found in Biomass feedstock using various Spectroscopic filtration methods for folks playing with Biochar production or other Bio-based energy production?
PLEASE SHARE! THIS IS POWERFUL INFORMATION and great for 2017.

It is much more than photography. Information is useful in understanding how sun to solar thermal power really works. Can save you a bunch of time for solar projects.
Hi Dan can you cut a Fresnel Lens down thats broken in middle to still work
i have spent all morning discovering your channel. Your videos are fantastic. Thank you for putting effort into these. Amazing job 🙂
Had to watch twice. Very good information. My dad talked like that all the time. Thanks.
Learned something new today. Thank you
5:34 you can actually see light focusing in a triangle shape =) awesome
His voice says, I'm a little bitch, But his arm cannons say my voice is a trap and i will kill you
If we had pyramid shaped planets and Suns would our pyramids be spheres? would our wheels be pyramids? would pyramid head be sphere head? who knows.
Very informative video and well done !!Happy New Year guys!! No more videos Dan?! Already more than 2 months and no new videos..What happened?
Very informative video.. Thank you!
Does it have to be sunlight?
Merry Christmas Dan and Denise. We love you guys!!!
Merry Christmas
Hey Dan, I love your channel!! I even have my children watching your video's, and they love it as well. Keep up the great work. Your friend, Matty
The thumbnail for this video = Tobi's mask
A very cool pinhole photography lesson guys ty
Gee I expected to see the comet!
and that's called kicking your ass
and that is pretty tops
I'm pretty smart, so that says, that I acknowledge how much I don't actually know. Thank you all
stumbled upon your channel today, great stuff!
the thumbnail look like obito mask 🙂
Wow using mirrors to get a reflected image of the sun, never seen or heard of anything like that.
Please share this video, it is loaded with very important information for 2017.
Cool video. Enjoying your work. I'd love to see a series on the actual home systems you have in place. How you like them, what you'd do differently, what your planning to update. Are you totally off the grid?
What type of camera is that? I saw it was a JVC, and has a 3ccd chip. But I was curious, what is the model number of the camera and lens?
And yeah your hard work is shown here and yes it took 3 times to understand but I think It to 30 times to make the video presentable
+greenpowerscience still I am not able to get that but yeah I am looking for the parabolic mirror which is the only thing I understood :p I am sorry I am an IT professional so I think it will take time me to understand and build something like that but yeah I am sure this is best useful thing which I seen in YouTube after the long time. I really like that video where you made a focal point with water on top it's too too awesome to know that video. Second I just need to say you make ppl STAY RAW which is my moto too we are using artificial resource and wasting the natural resources well I am planning to open a store with all your ideas by that I will definitely your need and help… I like to be entrepreneur for good things like this.
Hey man ….you r on TV !!!!
Dude I just seen you on doomsday preppers noice
+GREENPOWERSCIENCE nice sharing it took 3 times to understand all of this
the thumbnail picture looks like obitos mask
Haha, just saw your Doomsday Preppers episode the other day. They made you look SO stupid. Most people probably think you're an idiot. Thankfully, I knew about your channel beforehand, so you're still cool. Lol.
I would love to figure out a safe and pratical way to utilize this or technique for heating my home and water as I have a tv fresnel lens, but wish to have longer lens life. Also, thank you for all your videos, and I hope you continue to help people learn and enjoy sharing all this info and experience.
GREENPOWERSCIENCE was in doomsday preppers prepping for a mega lighting storm.
This guy was on doomsda preppers
awesome !
Do you have a how to video about making a better signal booster for cell phones?
I like my aluminum covered foam (store bought wall/roof insulator)
I cut it to a size that fits my window, it keeps my room cooler/hotter and for summer it acts as a nice barrier against the sun 🙂 I don't recommend it for that fact that it is very flammable if the activation energy for combustion is reached. The rate of burning isn't too fast since it is rated for construction use
Very cool video!!
This was great to watch, we are sharing on FB. Any questions you can contact us @titansolarco
