Way cool. I figured you had. I wonder how much magnifying lens it would take to get you a room lighted with a hundred watt "bulb" (aperture?) of moonlight. What size roof collector. To replace that ceiling bub.
Of course, it could be scaled down to an "parabolic antenna" dish and a piece of china or wall or prism or fabric or glass or something. (The project-upon surface.)
1/500,000 = .000002 = .0002% ? Did I move the zeero the right way?
Then of course there's ~ "How much moonlight would it take to set an ant on fire?" But of course, that would be someone else. No sir, not me; ben there, didn't do it.
Do those magnifying lenses concentrate most of the light? I can think of some they wouldn't, during transmission and such. I guess big telescope reflector mirrors might be the most reflective surfaces ~ do I recall that surfaces with the reflecting layer on the surface are pretty efficient, like 98-99? (Whereas mirrors suck.)
So, gee, I bet if they look at the moon with Palomar's 200 inch, it's pretty bright.
I wonder if they can skinburn a mouse. Up there at the focal point, in the cage. The mouse cage. Of mice and men.
Tatoo.
Brand.
Oh! BTW! That would be another unique mouse.
"Another Palomar Brand Mouse!"
