FRESNEL LENSES LINEAR VS SPOT THIS LINK DESCRIBES THE DIFFERENCE. ADD ME TO YOUR FAVORITES AND GET NOTIFIED BY EBAY WHEN I LIST A NEW ITEM!!!!! OTHER SUN COLLECTION ITEMS VERY SOON!!!
NOT ALL FRESNEL LENSES ARE CREATED EQUALLY. ALL THE LENSES WE SELL WERE SPECIALLY SELECTED FOR THEIR SUN COLLECTING ABILITIES. ALL HAVE BEEN TESTED AND THEY ARE THE BEST OF THE BEST FOR SOLAR NEEDS. AS WE LEARNED YEARS AGO, NOT ALL FRESNEL LENSES WILL WORK WELL. WE PURCHASED 159 LENSES AND ONLY 37 WERE USABLE FOR SUN COLLECTION FROM THAT BATCH, THE REST WERE SCRAPPED. I WAS A PART OF A SOLAR ENGINE PROJECT. WE ONLY SELL SOLAR TESTED LENSES UNLESS OTHERWISE SPECIFIED. This makes a huge difference in power, if you simply need to point a lens at a pan for 7 minutes then heat some food, the cheaper lenses are okay, in fact I have several hundred of those I can sell you. OUR LENSES ARE REAL SOLAR PRODUCTS:-) ______________________________________________________
VIDEO OF SIMILAR LENS IN ACTION
SECURED IN A WORKING FRAME 16 inches TALL by 11 inches WIDE
Lens DOES HAVE SCRATCHES but that WILL NOT affect performanceif using for sun collection.
This is perfect for water boiling applications. THIS IS NOT A TOY AND THE WINNING BIDDER AGREES TO THE WARNING AND TERMS BELOW.
All corners are miter cut for a nice finish.
Lens held securely in place with a wooden inlay. (NICE!) ALL OF OUR LENSES HAVE THIS INLAY, IT IS VERY TIGHT. NO LENS WOBBLE. PREVENTS LENS CURL WHEN IN THE SUN. OUR INLAYS WERE DESIGNED WITH AN EXTRA CHENNEL AT 53LBS. SO IT IS NOT LOOSE. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT FOR OPTICAL AND SOLAR APPLICATIONS. WE ONLY USE SCREWS, AIR NAILS COME LOOSE WITH LENS USAGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ONLY USE SCREWS! THEY CAN ALSO BE SAFELY REMOVED FOR CLEANING OR REMOUNTING. NAILS CANNOT!!!!!!!!
WARNING
: I have included a Youtube video to demonstrate the power of this type
of lens when placed in the sun. The lens should NEVER BE LEFT IN THE SUN UNATTENDED.
Fresnel lenses concentrate several square feet of sunlight down to less
than 1/2". My personal tests have resulted in surface temperatures in
excess of 2000 degrees farenheit WITH A SPOT LENS AND 900 degrees farenheit WITH A LINEAR LENS. VERY DANGEROUS. IF
YOU DO USE THIS FOR SCIENTIFIC PURPOSES, DO NOT LEAVE OUTSIDE OR NEAR
SUNLIGHT EVER. TREAT IT AND RESPECT IT AS A FURNACE OR BLOWTORCH.
Stuff instantly can catch on fire. Buyer assumes all risks and agrees
that separating the lens from the protective cover is done so at their
own risk and responsibility. If you are crazy enough to use this for
sun collection I strongly recomend wearing protective eye goggles
(wielding/blow torch) to prevent eye damage. Protective clothing
(fireproof) is also recomended as well as a large open space away from
structures and autos. CHILDREN OR PETS SHOULD NEVER BE IN WORK AREA!
By bidding on this item, buyer agrees to accept all responsibilities
and AGREES TO hold seller harmless from injury or damages resulting in
the use and possible mis-use of this item. MUST BE 18 years or older to
purchase.
