MIT Students Builds Own Solar Dish

MIT Students Builds Own Solar Dish

The sun is deadly hot, and a number of brilliant MIT students (are there non-brilliant ones around?) took time off the past few weeks to come up with a 12-foot mirrored dish which is able to concentrate sunlight 1,000 times over, making it extremely potent to turn just about any household items into a ball of flame. The whole idea would be to use this "solar dish" to create electricity, and it does so by holding a water-filled 12' black coil in front of the dish. The focused sunlight will vaporize water into steam, which will subsequently be used to create electricity. What about those of us living in apartments who do not have the luxury of a lawn to place this Solar Dish? Do we place it on the roof instead?
