GIANT parabolic SATELLITE solar dish cannot blind a pilot

This is a frequently asked question. Can a parabolic mirror zap a plane or blind a pilot in the sky. NO they cannot.

A piolet wont be 6′ from the dish but a bird could be. but the best part, so could flying insects! Dont they pop neet when they fly thru the FP
@GREENPOWERSCIENCE
But how much green electricity does a black car produce? Or a black top driveway. This could exponentially increase the output of a solar panel just outside the focal point, or work a sterling engine at the focal point.
Could you use that small mirror to reflect hitting point from the big one?
C’mon Rojas… Tell us something relevant. You are stating the obvious here. Been awhile since I visited your awesome channel…. Thin I see this! …?
@jmosler9 The same people who think a plane can’t take off from a moving conveyor.
@scubaga Eventually, we could turn Earth into a giant disco ball.
@arafetkanso Let it also be made clear that too much heat is NOT what causes global warming. It’s the greenhouse gasses emitted when fossil fuels are burned that causes global warming. Heat alone doesn’t change anything.
@arafetkanso It could stop Global Warming by reflecting the sunlight back into space that would have hit the ground. We need to build 100,000,000,000 more of them and get carbon offsets from Al Gore and become as rich as he is…. I gotta go, need to start building those reflectors…
Nice mirror. Now what are you goin to do with it? Maybe use it to heat a boiler for home heat or something. You could keep the inside of one of your cargo containers nice and warm. By the way, my little ceiling fan motor that I got from you is awsome. I dont get enough wind back here in the woods where I live. It was fun to make also. Thanks for thevideos. (Tom)
cool I think it looks more covered this time
what box is up there, did you say bat box, like a bird house for bats? If so I want one!
@arafetkanso thanks for that comment, I am starting to understand better why some people don’t believe in global warming and green/alternative energy, they just don’t have an understanding of basic science.
who the hell thought that it could?
Ok, let’s assume that you can possibly blind a pilot. And then what? They’ll hit a tree in the sky!?
@arafetkanso The thing doesn’t generate heat it reflects heat (infrared) from the sun and concentrates it in its focal point. That heat from the sun was already coming to the planet.
@connberkshire derpty doo “Fresnel lens ( /freɪˈnɛl/ fray-nel)”
@GREENPOWERSCIENCE lol another guy that doesn’t know how to pronounce “Fre(s)nel”
@romnsch13 It’s pronounced frennel my friend. No S.
if a pilot IS 6 feet from your dish there a bigger problems at foot haha
@saf271828 Got it, thanks. I need to know this stuff in order to procure needed items.
@romnsch13 The guy who invented the lens was French, and his last name is, in fact, pronounced “Freh-NELL,” where I capitalized the emphasis. It’s a common mistake, though.
@GREENPOWERSCIENCE Great Clarification!!
“If a pilot is 6 feet from my satellite dish, my dish would be the least of his worries.”
Thanks a lot, Dan! That line has me laughing so hard, the coffee in my mug was transferred to my wall at great velocity via my nose. Now everything smells like coffee…. which in and of itself isn’t a bad thing.
@JesusDillinger I don’t think that was very nice of you
He was sitting here, and watching a GreenPowerScience video, so all that stupid he couldn’t have been
Always remember, that while you may be better at logical thinking, he may be the one that will start your heart, one day during a heart attack – we all have our strengths and weaknesses. The important thing is to know which they are
I would think a parabolic mirror even at the focal point wouldnt be able to damage a plain because of how fast its moving
