1000X Power Solar Dish by MIT Students!
Students from MIT have invented a new power solar dish that can literally burn solid steel at its focal point.
By directing the dish at a more practical target — water piped through black tubing — steam can be flash created, offering instant means of producing energy or providing heating.
Spencer Ahrens, who just received his master’s in mechanical engineering from MIT, was among the designers of the dish. He and his fellow team members are serious about marketing it, and leveraging its cheap cost and easy production. They have founded a company named RawSolar. They say their design is easily mass producible and that they hope to be pumping out 1,000 of dishes in years to come.
