Free Rear Projection Tv

[adryargument]

Bring on the sun cannon instructions.

More than happy to pickup the free suncannon lens, pending instructions.

 

[sp0rk]

Not many instructions are needed
we basically surrounded the lens in a wooden frame to keep it straight
then mounted that in a bit of a rig to pivot up and down so we could aim it
now move in or out from your target like you would with a normal magnifying glass
what you do next is your choice...

i love how you've used the off topic emoticon in a thread which hasn't been ON topic for 20 posts or so...



very good manners indeed.

All tyrants are well mannered when using home brew forums to disclose their plots to unleash their wrath upon the world.
We learnt that at tyrant school.

This is the start of it people...we will see this on the news and all know...It all started with an innocent "Free TV" thread

 

[Malted]

Looks like yes it does contain a fresnel lens!
Here's a youtube clip that explains how to remove the solar death ray from the same sort of TV.

Apparently they can even melt concrete!
Looks like lots of other interesting bits are inside them too. There are quite a lot of results in youtube if you search for 'fresnel solar death ray'.

Re Post #26, Malted; further congratulations on not spelling "ridiculous" as "rediculous".

Interestingly I've noticed from UK fora and newspaper readers' comments that "rediculous", "there" for "their", "it's" for "its", "loose" for "lose" and other abominations seem to be an international phenomenon. American fora seem to have a higher standard of grammar and spelling despite the fact that a fair percentage of Americans are deemed functionally illiterate. :huh:

edit: readers' not readers. Oops.

I find myself curious as to what the quotes signify here.

I'll be honest, I have no ******* idea why I put them there. Reading back it would appear it was a brain fart moment.

I find it interesting that everyone has used, and assumed, the double inverted commas for all occasions so far. Some 'disciplines' have very "strict guidelines in which either single or double inverted commas are used" (Lecterfan, 2012).

You could then use it to boil wort or would that be me just being silly :lol:

We got it burn the surface of the concrete, but not actually burning through it
my mate said he gave it a good clean at a later point and was burning various metals with it, will have to ask him if he ever got it to burn through concrete

I love the idea of the sun for applications. I just bought a string of LED Xmas lights, solar powered from Suntek Store out of HK for around $13 free delivery. Cheap Solar powered shyte, until recently, has usually been farily pathetic, not quite living up to expectations - you know those spear-in-the-ground driveway and garden lights for example, but these are absolutely awesome and have 3 blink settings. It's quite amazing how things have progressed in just a few years. I'm going to order 3 more strings for Xmas and drape them round trees etc.

If you are going to quote yourself though, shouldn't it look more like this?

I'd be willing to bet you also like how I spelt faeces with an 'a' in it.

 

[Bribie G]

I also prefer the use of paedophile as opposed to pedophile, particularly since my electric bike is branded "PowerPed" :huh:

Most old printed books seem to use single quotes for reported speech. The Aussie Style Manual prefers the use of singles, and only mandates doubles if 'nested' within a sentence.

For example: Fourstar, in addressing the Pan-Asian Brewing Conference remarked 'The use of the term "Sugaz" is now madatory on all fora'.

Wikipedia reports that double quotes are more of a USA thing, and include us in that zone, although the Australian Style Manual would perhaps not bear this out.

Maybe in high school or literary works; in the scientific community and peer reviewed scientific publications, perhaps not.

Thought to be dumped but not really. Note the use of the single quotes.

If I lived closer I'll grab that just to make the big magnifying glass solar thing, in fact I showed it to the wife who said I can't do it because I'll burn down something. Sounds like a challenge to me, I'am on the look out for a RP TV.


Accident waiting to happen?? Yep I'm like Tim Taylor :lol:

Sorry it was actually $16 for the blue string but I just ordered the multicoloured one with the 200 LED which is way better value per bulb and I'll put the blue one out the front.



Edit, obviously no affiliation but I can recommend this mob as a constant source of amusing **** - very reliable as well :lol:

there was a basic brewing podcast on just that a year or two back

From the linky:

<snip>

• Don't strike the product, so as not to cause irreversible damage.
• The stake is so sharp that you must be careful when using it. And don't let children play with it.

Good advice. Good advice for everything in my life.

:beer: Discipline specific, but yes, erring towards the latter haha...

This is almost as good as the 'Beer According to Me' thread ...
