Where can I find small mirrors wholesale?

[weEvil]

I'm looking to buy some compact mirrors. Bulk. 2-3 inches size. 80-100 pieces.

Any forum where I can find an answer? Or does anybody got an answer?

I'm making a death ray.

Solar collector. I was hoping for glass mirror since its impossible to warp.

Then you’d probably want a front surface mirrors, meaning the light does not pass through glass before reflection. (Glass absorbs UV and thermal IR.) And if you want glass that would be about ten times the amount for the metal mirrors.

Or you could always use aluminized mylar.

Or just use a large fresnel lens...

Thank you.

I think i'll go wuth the alum mylar. Its cheap, and effective according to the reflectivity.

make sure you post photos or video when the death ray is up and running

Won't be for awhile. At least 2 months. I've got school and work.

It's still in the retuning design/gathering materials stage.
