Can a Magnifying Glass Destroy Ant-Man?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 чер 2019
- Since his debut in the MCU, Ant-Man has grown to be one of the most valuable Avengers, even playing a crucial role in Endgame. However, even with his extraordinary skillset and powers, could the pint-sized super hero be destroyed by a simple magnifying glass like his insect namesake? Kyle takes a closer look in this week's episode of Because Science!

Hey Kyle, could the Empire State Building actually support the weight of King Kong? Godzilla episode got me thinking.
I wish there was a way to send a reminder to myself to figure this out later, because this is one of those interesting problems I can lose an hour to.
But right away, I can say that figuring out Kong's weight needs some kind of square/cube figuring. He's easily in the millions of kilos or pounds.
Gonna try this one. A literal 800 lb gorilla could be 6 feet tall. King Kong is 30-40 feet tall. if you double a gorilla's height to 12 feet, the mass multiplies by 8 and becomes roughly 4 tons. Double his height again to 24 feet and his weight becomes roughly 32 tons. One more doubling to 48 feet and his mass is around 250 tons. Now the Empire State buildings' lower floors can support much more than that in the load-bearing areas (365,000 tons), but I imagine the upper floors aren't designed to hold as much. Kong might be able to stand on the roof, but I am betting that any of the ledges or non-load-bearing areas of the building would crumble under his weight, especially as he ascended the building.
@@mr.stoneface7699 Oh I'm sure he's a very hefty boi!

There actually is one instance I can think of where Ant-man has faced off against a magnifying glass. In Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe Again, there's a quick panel showing Deadpool frying Ant-man to a crisp while pretending he's Sherlock Holmes. It's an alternate universe, but he does get killed by a magnifying glass.
sorta funny, "ant man has faced a magnifying glass"
"bet it was fucking deadpool. that's a touch of sadistic whimsy right there"
"in 'deadpool kills the marvel universe again'..."
"HA!"

Oh My God!!! It smells like burned toast!!
That was a great line from Ragnarok!
Starting to think that Kyle might have murdered some ants.
Just a hunch. I used my incredible deductive skills here.
I think many of us did at some point in our life.
@@cherrydragon3120 Ants never suffered my wrath. But I do recall doing mean things to slugs a few times that I regret.
I don't think I've ever burned an ant... alive. I have burned a dead moth though, smells horrible don't recommend at all.
This is my apology to all ants -- kH
I never burned ants, but I did squish them.
I have always assumed that Ant Man's biggest enemy would be himself, or more specifically, the internal heat that he has to somehow vent despite his exterior surface area shrinking considerably. Something something thermodynamics something...?
Considering he keeps his same mass (and, I assume, cellular activity) how does heat-loss work when he gets small? People make about 100 Watts of metabolic heat energy on average, and Scott loses a lot of surface area when he gets tiny. With so little surface area, there's not nearly as many molecules of air whisking away his thermal energy. Assuming Scott goes down by a factor of 1000, the surface collision frequency of air molecules with his skin starts to approach that of outer space.
Wait. Even more importantly for our calculations -- does this mean Scott is effectively a very tiny spaceship??
We also have to assume it works the other way when he gets huge. He'd need some really good insulation on his suit, or else sunny california would feel like a brisk winter to him
Oooh this is an interesting point! Normally when things get smaller they get lighter too, and the surface area is a square function but the volume is a cube function. Basically this means the smaller something gets, the more surface area it has for its mass, so it actually gets easier to shed heat (mice actually can suffer hypothermia while under anesthesia for this reason). But if Scott keeps the same mass when he shrinks he really would have an issue with heat dispersal; the heat from his own metabolism would even be a problem if he gets small enough!
This is a fascinating question and I'd love to hear what Kyle has to say, but with the growth to giant-size, if I recall the comics correctly, Pym (and later Lang and others using Pym particles) gains mass from some other dimension when he grows. As for when he shrinks, I think the "keeps mass" is a short cut explanation for why he maintains the strength of a normal sized human. But if he temporary loses/stores away excess mass in that other dimension when he shrinks to ant size, would he be able to maintain his physical strength and abilities? I'm also wondering if there are negative consequences if Lang keeps his mass when he shrinks. What happens to him with increased density?
What would happen to Ant-Man under a magnifying glass??
Kyle: Gone, reduced to atoms
Atom Ant-Man?
@@MonkeyJedi99 Captain Atom and Ant-Man simple
Storm beaker needed the power of a magnifying glass to be made 😂👌
W8 a moment Kyle... If the shrinked ant-man has all of his mass, like you say, how its possible, that he can ride on ants???
the only issue is that there's something odd going on with Ant Man's density because some times he's as light as an ant and other times he hits people with the force of a full grown man in a metal suit, his mass is just not consistantly portrayed
While this video was about vaporizing Ant-man completely, I'm curious how long it would take to simply raise his temperature to the point of death.
At full mass it'd still aproximate a year I think
Actually, whatever temperature normal humans die at when a fever gets to high or maybe something more plausible like heat stroke. I'd say core temp would only have to reach 115F for a human to die. Then if you consider that, what would the core temp have to be to cause unconsciousness. Once unconscious, Ant-Man would be done for.
Vaporizing doesn't really happen to ants anyway when the get burnt by a magnifying glass. Insect insides are mostly liquid, so they just shrivel up. The temp at the focal point would have to literally be as hot as the Sun to vaporize instantly. Technically, during burning, gradual vaporization happen, but not instant.
We are also not very sure on how good is his Suit, because his suit can get him into some serious conditions without any problems or with minor problems, *_including the quantum realm_* , it seems like it has some ridiculous properties.
So we aren't really sure about that either.
@@adamxue6096 True, but how harmful would those conditions be, other than lack of oxygen and food? At a sub-atomic, there's no weather, radiation might not even be a problem because the neutrons would be to large to ionize antman's own atoms, but then according to Hank Pim, Antman shouldn't be able to shrink sub-atomic anyway, but for arguements sake, we'll say Pim Particals do actually change the density of atomic and sub-atomic particles.
Would Tony stark break his finger flicking Ant Man?
*visible confusion*
The real question is; how the fck antman's bones doesn't break when tony flick him
Answer: it literally only depends on whether the movie needs Tony Stark to break a finger. Ant-Man don’t give a fuck about your “rules” and “logical consistency”.
@@waddefaq4325 If Antman keeps his mass, he would go THROUGH Tony's shoulders.
@@stephendonovan9084 Ant-man is very sharp, he can run and try to punch someone's head, not realizing he kept the mass, and he made a hole on the poor guy's head

Trust me axe body spray is like an absolute flamethrower
I threw water at an electric stove of these when i was little, but i forgot about flammable things and threw deodorant at it in hopes it would make the tssss sound.... never got so surprised in my life.
Still wouldn’t work if he retains human mass while shrunk. His much lower surface area would mean he absorbs way less energy per second. He’d be fine.
Of course, the same would apply to oxygen transfer across the Pym field, his ability to dissipate internal heat, and so many, many other things that it only serves to illustrate just how ludicrous Ant Man is from a scientific perspective.
I'd be most worried about his eyes. If someone focused sunlight on him with a magnifying glass, he may be tempted to look up at what's burning him, at which point his eyes would take all of that heat and concentrated light. If staring at the sun is bad for you, then staring into a concentrated beam of sunlight is much worse. I'm not sure if his red-tinted goggles would be enough to protect him (they may function a bit like a welding mask, in which case he might be unharmed).
That said, I'm happy to say that I couldn't find numbers for how long it takes to permanently blind a person with a magnifying glass.
Kyle, would it work the other way around? If Ant-Man grew huge but kept his weight, and you used a magnifying glass on his big toe, would it slice it off like a tiny laser?
Yes, it would be even easier. He’s less dense
@@jenm1 if he keeps his mass he shouldn't be shaking the ground in the movies though right?
If Antman keeps his mass then he would become incredibly dense, right? Would he be nearly impervious to physical damage at that point? How would he be effected if someone were to shoot him?
True he would be taking the force of a bullet with a large amount of his body. It likely wouldn't even slow him down just sting a little.
Kyle: always answering the questions I didn’t know I had
Iron Man used SolarBeam!
It was very effective!
_Ant-Man burnt to a crisp!_
grass type move is not very effective agaist bug types
Why tf are you everywhere?
If the sun can't burn him, well, God's hotness can
I noticed a big development of visual aspect of the episodes. You are using a lot more effects and a montage is becoming really really good. Your episodes are becoming more dynamic and eye-catching. Did you change the visual director or the old one grew up ?;)
Ant-Man is probably tottaly invulnerable to heat damage due to the unspoken abilities of his suit. When he shrinks with "a particle that could shorten the distance between atoms " he basically compress himself. So according to thermodynamics his temperature is rising very quickly to very high values (as we consider the values when human could survive). So my hypothesis is that his suit has to be extremely efficient device that is conducting heat from or to Ant-Man when needed in order to keep him alive. To be so fracking efficient it has to be absolutely cosmic-scale insulating and has a system of energy transport that will be jaw-breaking even for thanos and his supeduper tech team. According to this I assume that the only way to kill Ant-Man with sun is to put the sun into his butt or something similar;)

*Points at a fire resistance potion*
The movie end game shows how resilient his suit is when he get hit by a energy blast from Thanos ship. Can you measure how hot the energy blast from Thanos ship is?
it’s amazing how this channel clearly explains theoretical possibilities, but also factors in the canon abilities of marvel characters that could subvert scientific expectations. i learn a lot! thank you for such interesting content!
Finally all those physics classes I took in school about refraction of light in glass and mirrors have a meaning.
So if we had a big enough magnifying glass we could melt steel... Huh
Yup
Cool.
not just steel , any metal on earth
@@maskedredstonerproz I totally understand that, but I was just researching steel yesterday
Search UA-cam for fresnel lens burner
If we had a giant magnifying glass in space would it be like a laser that can burn anything on the surface of the Earth? Or would we need multiple glass to magnify the effects more?
well in theory that would work but practically it will not
Nah man, Lasers have coherent waves. That's why you can't see laser pointers from the side but you can see flashlights and light being focused down to a point like a cone. Essentially you have photons leaking out of the sides of the path. With lasers no leakage.
Just what are you planning, villain?
Justin Garcia Focal length of magnifying glasses are usually very short so it won't be an effective weapon. You can add a concave len to turn the focus light into a parallel long range burning beam of destruction, but good luck finding a len that won't melt in seconds
Kyle! Love the show. Quick correction: you said you couldn't light a fire with moonlight using a lens but that actually isn't true, the "temperature" of moonlight is still plenty hot enough, since it is originally emitted off of the sun and only reflected off of the moon.
What you're referencing is the fact that for an object which gives off light because it is hot (black-body radiation), that light can't raise the temperature of another object higher than the temperature of the object which emitted it. For example, the red light emitted from hot steel could only heat up another object to the temperature of that steel; however, a cold mirror can still reflect sunlight onto another object to make it hot. So while you definitely couldn't use a new moon to light a fire, with a full moon and a big enough lens it would be possible to use moonlight (reflected sunlight) to achieve very high temperatures (with the theoretical max temp being the same as the surface of the sun again).
(Also disclaimer I'm a biologist and I 100% had to look this up:
physics.stackexchange.com/questions/140927/is-it-possible-to-start-fire-using-moonlight)
(Also also I'm still salty you never took my correction about radiation poisoning from your fallout footnotes video but I love you anyway :)
I see the distinction on mirrors and black-body emission but I'm still confused by the temperature point; isn't "temperature" just a measure of thermal energy density? Surely, if you grab *all* the emission of any black-body and dump it all into a small enough point - say, a single molecule - the density of the kinetic energy would be higher at that point than it would across the black-body surface on average, wouldn't it?
What am I missing in my assumption?
@@banderi002 Honestly I'm not sure... Did some quick searching but I couldn't figure it out (this wikipedia page is nice en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_radiation).
The equation Q = A*E*F is limited in E (stars have a maximum temperature --> emission density) and F (all of the light is all of the light), but A is only limited by how big a star could get. So yeah I don't see why a huge hot star with lenses and/or mirrors couldn't concentrate light to a small point to get something hotter than the star itself. But another equation has a (T1 - T2) as a coefficient for the overall heat transfer, which seems to indicate the heat transfer is reversed if one thing gets hotter than the other, regardless. But I don't really get why that is; like maybe all the paths of light from the theoretical point would hit the theoretical star (via the lenses etc. which direct the stars light to the point) but I don't see why that would matter. Like the overall output at one end (the star) will still be bigger than the other (the point) even if the point is hotter, so I don't see why lenses etc. can't be used to funnel the energy to make it hotter at the point.
So I really don't know. I'm also very unqualified to answer that question (but it was fun to try!)
(Forgot to switch off my google account before I posted... oops)

Dang it! There goes my discount super villan plan.
Correction:
The diagram at 1:55 of the convex lens shows light getting refracting from pole (central point of lens on principal axis) It shouldn't happen, light doesn't refract while passing from pole, should maintain straight line...
Yeah that was simply my fault for not being able to draw straight. Apologies for any confusion -- kH

I would theorise that (for the most part) the reason you remember it, is because your attention was brought to it.
By saying “you wont remember the colour of my shirt”, immediately you look at his shirt and take notice of it.
If the posed comment was “you dont remember the colour of my shirt last week”, most people probably wouldnt remember.
Example, can you remember the colour of the first Marker that Kyle used in the immortality episode?
If Ant-Man can shrink but keep his normanl weight then how small would he have to get, to get as dense as sun? (Or denser)
the sun isnt actually all that dense. its super massive but also really, really big aka voluminous. i think tiny ant man with full human mass would be A LOT denser than the sun
@@erbgorre maybe then he could get as dense as a neutron start unless he crushes himself into neutrons🤔
I mean the neutron star at 25km diameter weights over twice the Sun in our solar system
@@mateusz.krzemyk7154 i calculated in response to someone else that at average ant size with his full human weight, hed be at a density of ~7 million Kg/dm³, which is indeed denser than even the highest postulated density i could find for the core of the sun. the sun on average has a density of around 1.4 Kg/dm³ apparently, which is only 1.4 times that of water (or us, approximately).
even 7 million would still be many orders of magnitutes shy of neutron star level density, tho. if he shrunk down to sub-microscopic size while still retaining his full mass somehow, then we might actually get there. which goes to illustrate just how ludicrously dense a neutron star is, i suppose -.-
@@erbgorre The core of the sun:
But if he kept his man mass while the size of an ant man then running along someone's shoulder or down their arm, would have made them a very sad man.
According to the Marvel Cinematic Universe Wiki on Pym Particles:
The Particle's ability to warp mass and size can transport said mass, and also objects and living beings, into what is known as the Quantum Realm, a subatomic dimension of space, that holds any mass of those who have shrunken with the use of the Particles. The mass, while still part of the shrunken subject, is shunted inside the Quantum Realm until returned.
Which means that it should, in fact, be easy to vaporise a tiny ant man as his mass has been transported to the quantum realm, with what remains being fairly easy to turn into a vape man.
thor: do you understand boy you are going to take a small force of a star it will kill you
ant man: only if i die
thor yes that what killing you means
I usually audio listen so this opening is a big surprise to me. Epic stuff man!
Kyle's shirt was blue in the immortality video
First thought: how'd Kyle get out of the void? And why?
Second thought: duh, he needs the sun to burn stuff.
Well, I think that, since the atoms are just being pushed closer together, Scott’s skin and his suit would become much denser, making it harder for light to get through his suit/skin. However, his doesn’t always seem to be how he shrinks, but I think they said this in ant man.
Kyle: "The moon just isn't hot enough."
Moon: *offended gasp*
Ant-Man: *opens umbrella*
I think an umbrella would melt
I can't believe you didn't do a "This is fine" meme reference. SMH

Great episode! Shout out to the editors doing the crazy stuff we see every week!
Kyle mentioned in some episodes that Ant-man can become a black hole because of his matter being compressed but doesn't become one. What if the magnifying glass can trigger that black hole idea of yours Kyle? Can the magnifying glass trigger the Ant-man blackhole by adding enough energy to him?
Well you can say that theory went to flames
You might not be able to evaporate Antman but you can definitely give him crazy heatstroke.
Hi Kyle! how are you? A building in London (it was in London?. UK for sure) Melt cars and crack sideways because it has glass in the walls and with a convex form. Also, I pyrography wood with a magnifying glass. No correction, just random facts
6:06 Lens seller, I need your strongest magnifying glass
Now I want to see Antman get rekt by Lensman
Hey Kyle, wouldn't shrinking down to the size of antman cause some sort of anomaly to happen? If you think about it shrinking down to that size and having the same mass would have some sort of impact on the earth, whether it be breaking concrete every time you stepped or killing someone with a single punch by throwing a bowling ball worth of mass in a 2mm fist. Keep it up, love your work.
I believe he goes over this on an episode focused (pardob the pun) entirely on ant man. Just search for it! :b
I will look it up
thats pretty much what keeps happening in the movies when tiny ant man punches somebody. he punches with his full human weight but focused on a very tiny area, which generates a huge force.
what you basically get is a super dense object. a ~10 mm³ object with the weight of ~70 Kg, which equals 7 million Kg/dm³ where the density of water is just 1 Kg/dm³. steel is at around 8. osmium i think is 22 something. so yeah, that tiny antman is super dense. still a couple orders of magnitudes away from anything like cosmic level anomalies dense, like black holes or neutron stars or any of that. but in our eartly context, super friggin dense -.-
Yes, but what i'm saying is that when he's running it should make cracks in the ground and when he's punching the enemies should immediately die or worse.
I'm glad you put not to scale on the sun and earth because I was about to be really confused. Also glad you told me to get adult supervision to use a ruler, I had almost forgot last time I put an eye out.
(Awesome episode btw)
Coo episode! If only the Pym particles were more consistent.
Even Reed Richards has unstable molecules.
Great show as always!
Here's a question. If Antman retains his mass when he shrinks, wouldn't that make him sink into the ground due to how small his surface area compared to his mass?
Yup, he would also be quite unable to ride any ants without instantly crushing them to death. PYM Particles strongest power is ignoring science and consistency in favor of plot convenience.
Finally i found a clever comment.
If tiny ant man held up a tiny mirror would he be able to send it back
pretty much. any highly reflective surface would be fine up to a certain point.
in the footage of the super lense melting the metal screw towards the end you can see, though, that there will be limits to that strategy unless you manage to completely reflect the full 100% of the incoming sunlight. which i dont believe a mirror can actually do.
Slaughtering all those ants in your past makes you a super villain.
The really scary thing about Ant-Man that I don't think you've discussed yet through your many Ant-Man related videos is the whole "Retains his mass" bit.
If we go off the idea that Ant-Man can retain his mass as he changes size, then when he goes subatomic he would exceed his schwartzchild radius and become a black hole...
Using some Google averages and assuming my math is right:
Mass of human = 70kg
Constant of Gravity (acceleration of gravity) using average height (diameter) of 69in = GM/r² = 6.08*10⁻⁹
Shcwartzchild Radius = rₛ = 2GM / c2² = 9.35*10⁻¹⁸
He'd have to go 18x smaller than a Hydrogen Atom, but in the first Ant-Man film during the scene where he goes subatomic you see him shrink WAY past the size of an atom. If he does indeed keep his Mass when he shrinks, then yeah, he'd turn into a black hole...
How/where did you get the Cp for Antman? I mean humans don't really have one right. I always thought it depended on the percentage of different molecules humans our made out of. If you do have a Cp value for humans, I would like to know it, for a...uhm... school project.
P.s i love the show and i think because space is a great idea and i love the new episode
What's a Cp
he says he just calculated as if it were water. since thats what we primarily consist of, its the most sensible approximation to make on the fly.
also, are you doing ok? anything in your life stressing you out to the point of you contemplating to build a giant super-lense in order to incinerate/vaporize someone? no? ok. ;)
He said at the end that he used water as his assumption given that we are something like 60% water by mass I find that fair.
@@erbgorre A okay, i must have missed it. Thx
can someone break someones arm by squeezing it? like in hunter x hunter
If you can generate enough force you can. How much is needed depends on if you're trying to rip cartilage or literally break bone.
Kyle, Could you do a video on Ant-Man addressing whether he could survive, or what the impact would be on him, if he maintained his mass when he shrinks? Might be fun to explore mass/volume to density and how that would impact shrinking (and perhaps growing) superheroes like Ant-Man, Wasp, Atom, Goliath, Apache Chief (yes, I totally have the Harvey Birdman episode in mind lol), etc.
no one:
literally no one:
kyle:Can a Magnifying Glass Destroy Ant-Man?
nope, the way he tells it:
someone: can a magnifying glass destroy ant-man?
kyle: that.
apparently that someone was dan casey
Couldn't Thanos just fart to kill Ant Man?
he wears a helmet...
No, that will make an easy way to antman go inside him. U know what i mean.
So could you say it is a laser??
Btw great video ❤️
To be honest, burning ants with a magnifying glass smell like barbecue, so it's just half a regret.
Nice episode as always, but where is the title at the beginning of the video?, i mean normally in the episodes it begins with a short introduction to then show the tittle of the episode, which i thought would appear with the fire at 0:44, so is it just me who is missing it?, or is the void already consuming my soul

Some of your best work man. Keep it up!
So basically, we just need to get Ant-man in the focal point at one of those times Marvel wants ignore physics.
How dare you be scientifically inconsistent Marvel!
Ok, nerd moment. Since it's almost the season for Nuptial flights in most species of ants, I wonder how Ant man relates to other ants. Does he get harassed by a bunch of female Alates or attacked by other male Alates fighting for competition? Does he die after mating like male ants? Ok, I know he doesn't get his power _from_ ants but still.
Happy queen hunting to all my fellow ant lovers out there!

Hey Kyle, I was just wondering, since we are so far from the sun, wouldn’t the reason the photons appear parallel be simply because it is only the photons which are already coming this direction are the ones that hit us? So therefore, if we were right next to the sun, shouldn’t we still be able to focus light since the photons which would be parallel are still going to be present regardless?
man these are the best its to bad they couldnt work it out so that kyle stayed.

@@BristonTerry also, it wouldn't be quite so impossible. Just because he's incredibly dense doesn't mean he's not still a little squishy. A lot tougher but still a little squishy. Sure the helmet may be hard to damage but I think we can still crush Scotty if we attacked the torso.
AntMan could still shrink down below the wavelength of light, so he could duck the deathrays.
Love this channel. Makes learning about complex things fun and much easier to comprehend. And I absolutely adore the silly segments, hehe :)
Hey Kyle can Falcon's Flight pack from the MCU and the EX Gear from Macross Frontier actually be plausible?
So like with many of these episodes.
Yes
BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT.
Also no
Reality is often disappointing -- kH
My fourth grade teacher showed us something cool about heat transfer. If you hold a match (or lighter) under an inflated balloon it will instantly pop, but if you have water in that balloon convection will move the heat away from the focul point of the fire fast enough to keep it from bursting.
This could actually be a scene in the next movie. Him running from a magnifying glass beam.

The thing about heat/temperature is that it is actually made of motion. Temperature is dependent on the kinetic energy of the particles in a substance.
And molecules can absorb energy through internal motion because many atomic bonds act springlike allowing atoms to move relative to one another as well as though regular "move across the room" motion (sorry don't know the proper name for it). Therefore while ordinarily the properties of molecules do not fluctuate relative to mass making mass a good proxy for the amount of heat absorbing capacity a given amount of a given material will have, I am not sure that everything will scale neatly in a Pym-ajusted molecule (using the shoulder riding version of Ant-Man which would almost certainly need to have adjusted mass).
Furthermore we have no reason to assume that it is actually the temperature/heat of particles that causes chemical and physical reactions, in the real world there is no way to adjust the amount of energy a molecule or set of molecules have relative to the particles and to the mass of the particles independently.
For example if we have some water molecules that have been Pym-adjusted to be 1% the size/mass of normal water molecules and normal water molecules both traveling across a room at speed [V1] in this case (disregarding internal motion for the moment) the Pym-adjusted molecules will have only 1% the kinetic energy (aka temperature) of the normal ones, if we increase the speed of the Pym-adjusted molecules to 2[V1] they now have 4% the kinetic energy of the normal ones but that's 4X the energy/mass ratio. So what happens? Assuming that the normal particles are at 50 degrees C are the Pym-adjusted ones frozen in both cases?, liquid at speed [V1] and hot steam at speed 2[V1]?, is 1% 50 degrees cold enough to become a Boise-Einstein condensate??
And that's not even considering how the spring constants of the atomic bonds and the distances that the atoms are able to move will be effected.
3:46 Actually it would work just as well focusing those parallel rays and in fact the ray would be stronger because of the proximity of Sun. However, the light dot (focal point) would look more diffuse as there is more diffuse light as well as parallel rays going through the magnifying glass... Kyle you know this...
Hulk: hey Thor, have you seen scott?
Thor: he's gone, reduced to atoms
I remember a show where two guys made a solar powered crematorium, also on a different show guys were using a large reflector had to be three or four meters it would melt through 1cm steel bars almost instantly
I've looked everywhere but i can't seem to find anything to answer my question. If you focus the light with a magnifying glass into another magnifying glass, does it result in the same temperature?
"not to scale" - Kyle is a good scientist.
Well there's another way you can do this with several magnifying glasses and say a rail. Since sunlight is essentially collimated with a multi lens assembly you can concentrate and then collimate the concentrated light to create something closer to a beam then a single focal point which avoids the z height issue, though not lateral movement, because it then gets trickier to align. Also perhaps use some BK7 lenses to get as flat an index of refraction profile as you can over the visible and near IR ranges.
When you say a bed of nails @ 7:40, do you mean more like... a pile of nails vs a single nail? My first thought was one of those evenly spaced bed of nails you can lay on without getting poked
"Manual do Mundo" os a Brazilian UA-cam channel which once made a series in which they unassembled machines to show how they worked and try to get some useful parts. From a tube TV they removed a Fresnel lens. He experimented with it and it's focus is bigger, a 10cm square I think, (it originally is intended to focus the TV emissor which is not a point) and he could melt copper after some time (not iron though). Combining the larger focus and this amount of heat I think ant man would have a hard time.
Hey Kyle. You have done the maths on Ant-Man shrinking and going into Thanos' colon. But with Crisis On Infinite Earths beginning soon in the CW Verse, could The Atom expand inside the Anti-Monitor's colon? Is dwarf-star alloy more powerful than Pym particles?
When I was in 8 th grade we had a 2 meter by 2 meter magnifying lens. With cloud cover we melted a penny, a marshmallow, and a few other items. After a while we even melted sizable chunk out of the cinder block we were using as a stand. We also baked cookies with a solar oven.
