RJM Posted February 1, 2008 Share Posted February 1, 2008 (edited) 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.http://scientificsonline.com/product.asp?p...hcd2=1201865481 Or just use a large fresnel lens...http://fresneloptic.com/html_en/solar_big_lens.htm Edited February 1, 2008 by RJM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
