Using Old TV Lens to melt a lock - Amazing From Out Of Context Pets https://t.co/vRz0x0njsM
Video Transcript AI Summary
Using a giant lens from an old TV, I aimed the solar death ray at a lock to test its power. The intense heat caused the metal to melt and ripple. The solar death ray concentrates sunlight onto a central hot spot, creating hellish temperatures. After leaving the lock in the light for a while, I disengaged the death ray. The main part of the lock turned into a liquid puddle of molten metal. I stretched the liquid metal with a wrench, leaving the steel shank intact. Once cooled, the lock had transformed into a melted glob of metal with the shank still attached.

Speaker 0: This is a giant lens that I got from an old rear projection TV, and I want to take the Arizona sun to see if I could mow a lock. I placed it on the optimal hot spot under the lens and then aimed the solar death ray right at the lock. This is the directed energy beamed right onto the body of the lock, and you can see that under these extremely high temperatures, the metal began to rise, ripple, and actually melt. These hellish temperatures are sheath because the solar death ray gathers sunlight that hits it and moves it to a central focal point. The light is so efficiently bent that there's a shadow around the central hot spot.
I let the lock in the intense light for a while and disengaged the death ray. The main part of the lock was a liquid puddle of molten metal, and I took a wrench and actually stretched the liquid metal out across the brick. The steel shank of the lock remain intact because it has a much higher melting point. I allowed the liquid metal to cool down and then I took a closer look. What once had been the lock was a big glob of melted metal with the shank attached.
